Visited for the first time for our honeymoon.. The pow pow shrimp was amazing. Had the filets which were not cooked to temp but the waitress brought new ones. They could use salt pepper. The mashed potatoes were probably the best we've ever had! Lobster pasta was good. Our waitress, NaShya is phenomenal ! Her personality is what made our experience over the top. I guess recommendations are expected as the hostess told us we had a time limit. Lol No biggy though. Lovely experience for our first time there! Heaters outside was sooo nice also.

We found this little gem while visiting Irvington, VA. It's a definite return when in the area. The food was fantastic! Our server, Shy was fantastic. Thanks for making our stay brighter.

I always have a good experience at The Office - have never been disappointed except for once when I ordered a flatbread and I think because of an allergy to the four meats the chef was worried about what would be in the flatbread that he produced something that was very gummy and disappointing. My fault I should have ordered something else and there was plenty of other things I could have picked. Still very happy with t he Office. Victoria Marek Young

A fabulous experience. Delightful service, well made creative cocktails, delicious food, quiet enough for easy conversation across the table. Will definitely return if in the area.

I often order food to take out from here. The food is always delicious, everything we have tried is great. However, the lady behind the bar, who also takes food orders is rude... absolutely no people skills and pears to be disinterested in the patrons or their orders. It time reviewer...

Shy took great care of us. We started with the hot crab dip, which did not disappoint. My lunch date ordered the honey bbq chicken sizzle, but wasn't a big fan of the onions and peppers. I got the fish and chips.... Amazing. Highly recommend.

Probably won't ever be back. Used to go to this restaurant and hadn't been in awhile. Knew that we needed a reservation so made it and it asked what the occasion was as and I said date night. Thought they asked this for a reason for seating but apparently not because we were seated in the “Chuckie Cheese” section with a party of about 8 couples and 4 toddlers. Needless to say we gave them a chance of about 5 minutes and decided to move to the bar. We weren't the only ones refusing to sit beside this table as another couple was to sit at a table near them and came to the bar as well. The food was very overpriced. My husband got a pizza that was $20, we got Pow Pow Shrimp (5-6) $12 and I wanted the salmon dinner but did not want the rice and the so called season vegetables of carrots. Who calls carrots season veggies? Anyway I asked for the salmon only and Brussel sprouts and they said they had to upcharge me $1 even tho I was not getting the rice or the carrots! My meal was $33 for a piece of salmon and brussel sprouts! My husband ordered tea and I drank a water. The total bill was about $72. With tip $84. Our waitress was not energetic, did not offer the specials as I had to ask for them , we had to wait for quite some time for our check and did not deserve the tip that we left. I am so disappointed and we will not be back. I did observe the restaurant while we were there - our reservations were at 5:30 and the restaurant was not even half full when we left. Maybe other patrons have had the same experience. Sorry this experience comment is so lengthy but I felt it was needed to say hoping the owners will read it.

We love the restaurant, and our server was great! Food was delicious. Prices are higher, but still very reasonable for the type of dining. Smaller restaurant, so you are closer to other diners, but the noise level is reasonable. Highly recommend!

We love Office Bistro. Food is very good. Menu is varied . Service is excellent. Cocktail menu and wine list is very good. We like the friendly staff and management. We really enjoy the food and the price point is competitive with other local, similar restaurants.

Had the tuna which was prepared exactly as tuna should be prepared—broiled on the outside and warm and red on the inside. It was very tender and delicious, with a tasty black rice and vegetables served on a hot plate. A second cold empty plate was provide so you could remove the tuna from the hot plate and keep it at the right temperature and not over cook it. The server, a black female, was truly the best server we have ever had, and we dine in lots of restaurants around the US and overseas. She had a very pleasant and upbeat personality with outstanding service. They don't come any better than her.
It was very hot, the food was meh and the noise level high. It also seemed a bit understaffed and we witnessed a lot of back of the house conversations about fairness in allocating tables to waitstaff. Not great.

Great food and great service! We enjoyed dinner with friends. The PowPow Shrimp and Crab dip were excellent appetizers. Two of us had the fish special and the other two had the Pork Ribeye and we all enjoyed our meals.

After several visits the past few years, The Office has become a must visit when we are in the area. My wife's scallops were seared perfectly, and the saffron cream sauce was excellent. I has the evening special fresh caught Spanish mackerel, which was delicious. Our server, Shy, is one of the most personable waitresses we have ever met. She is a gem and a joy.

The Office is a great place to visit! Awesome food, great vibe, and you can’t beat the service!!! The burger, steak and cheese, pizza are all delicious.
