“This is my go-to on Sunday's. Great menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I love the Halloumi and Eggs. Sion - my normal server is outstanding as is the rest of the staff.
Always feel welcomed and leave feeling full.”
“The Generous Pour Duckhorn selection is amazing! The ambiance of the bar is great and our server Michael was TOP NOTCH. We had an amazing evening celebrating my husband's birthday!!!”

“When I tried Andy's Pizza (Tysons Galleria) for the first time, it was VERY DELICIOUS! I give the pizza a 5/5. I loved its chewy mozzarella cheese texture and the crust was yummy too. The service was quick and easy to find a table at the eatery. I would like to try Andy's Pizza at another location!”
“If you’re looking for casual dining in a unique ambiance and appointed outdoor courtyard/cafe setting, then Pikoteo is your place. With fine food that stretches across the Caribbean, Latin America spectrum of flavors, to sooth your palette, and a friendly staff. The Owner is very hospitable, and can typically be found greeting and meeting with diners, and making them feel welcomed If you are a fan of hot sauces, check out the variety of bottled sauces from Honduras, with a unique variety of spices. My favorite is a chocolate infused hot sauce.”
“This place is amazing every time. They always have great fresh fish and the staff is great. Super friendly and open to being creative.”
“they had a really hot guy working there with a little bracelet on what is his name but overall good food.”

“Absolutely amazing experience! We reserved two tables - one for our 17 y/o son and his friends. He was celebrating his birthday and the second table for our party of 3. Tony delivered outstanding service to both tables and made the experience so memorable. The cocktails were delicious (the Maverick was quite yummy). The food was incredible. Highly recommend the wagyu dumplings, the lobster tacos and the ribeye!!! The manager came by and checked on both tables which is always a nice touch. They had small bday touches and the most amazing dessert to seal the deal. 10/10! Can't wait to go back. Ask for Tony!”
“My server was Pemba! He was very kind and attentive to our order! He also helped to enhance my food experience by envisioning me to try some sauces to complement my dish. He always smiled and cracked a joke or two! Overall, my experience was pleasant, and I would definitely come here again!”
“I ate it so fast I completely forgot to take pictures—that should tell you how good it was!
PLNT Burger absolutely delivered. The burger was flavorful, the chili was excellent, and everything was fresh and satisfying. If you’re looking for a great plant-based meal, this place is definitely worth a stop.
Highly recommend giving PLNT Burger a try. I’ll definitely be back!”
“Went tonight, met the owner at the door. I was very impress and can see why it's so popular. Servers were all very nice. Food was great and reasonably priced. Got the short rib which was excellent as were the pomme puree with it. Inside was very nice and had a good selection on the menu. Almost got the pasta but glad I did not. Think a lot of the entrees were in the 25-35 range though of course more expensive stuff. It was crowded but not very loud, which was good. Solid winner, and wishing the owner the best, he seems to know about this as well as Human Misery (his words).”
“Matchbox used to be one of my favorite restaurant chains. Now that it's owned by some big corporate company, it sucks. The drinks and food are expensive at the Mosaic location. and there for very few people there. It used to have such a great vibe; it was always full of people at the tables and the bar. please bring back the original owners!”
“I had a wonderful experience at El Bebe. The food was hot and fresh. The Churro Dessert was incredible and all made better by my server Maddie. She helped me individualize my drink to something I would enjoy and was a delight for the whole experience.”
“They allow you to get a full meal with room for dessert which are small but mighty. The food presentation is on point. Highly versatile spot: date night, girls night, or a group of your best friends or potential clients. Hands down, worth a return trip.”
Takeout Restaurants
“It is on the pricier side, but the food tastes very homemade and it’s very comforting. It also tastes pretty clean. I felt like I had a Turkish grandma cooking for me. The hospitality is quite amazing as well. The portions are pretty large and I recommend the Istanbul platter. Overall wonderful experience :)”
“Good, consistent Chinese take-out. I don’t suggest eating in house—it smells pretty bad in the restaurant. I can’t tell if it’s something burnt, cleaning product, building product, or what, but it’s been that way for a while now. Multiple entrees I’ve tried have been very good with high-quality proteins without fat or gristle. They don’t include white rice with entrees, though. I’ve never encountered that before, so you have to explicitly order that if you want it for another $1. 🙄”
“This Cava is truly one of the best destinations in the entirety of McLean. An excellent staff, with extremely kind, patient, and generous individuals like Marifer, graces our every visit with a smile, and puts a real effort into making every visit special. We are very grateful to have such a wonderful CAVA location so close to home.”
“I recently had my wedding cake made by Fluffy Thoughts and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, their attention to detail was exceptional and they went above and beyond. They took the time to understand my vision and made thoughtful suggestions that enhanced the overall design. They were even able to replicate our crest and put it on to the cake. The responsiveness of the team was remarkable; every question I had was answered promptly, and they made the entire process seamless. I felt supported every step of the way. Now, let's talk about the flavors! Fluffy Thoughts offers a creative selection that truly stands out. We opted for a mix of Candy Bar Crunch and Coffee in the Morning and our guests are still raving about how delicious the cake was. It was not only beautiful but also incredibly moist and flavorful. I highly recommend Fluffy Thoughts for anyone looking for a wedding cake that combines stunning design, excellent customer service, and unique flavors. They helped make our special day unforgettable!”
“The service is the best! We ordered, Golden corn ribs, Chicken kara-age, Edamame, Gyoza, Chashu pork bun, Shrimp tempura, Black garlic Tonkotsu Ramen, and Spicy Miso Soup Ramen. Everything was very delicious and Cosy atmosphere. We’ll come back for more ☺️”
“Food was awesome! Atmosphere was warm! Wait staff extremely attentive. We LOVE that it is farm to table, they have their own bee hives and grow their own herbs! Menu was unique and the octopus appetizer was SO crazy good!”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Absolutely loved my experience at this restaurant during my stay at the Ritz-Carlton. The breakfast was consistently delicious, and I appreciated the staff going above and beyond, especially when they tracked down the peach cream cheese after it was no longer on the menu. The bar area has a fantastic vibe; I even caught the NBA Finals there and had a great time socializing with fellow guests. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!”
“This is my go-to for lunch when I am at the office and I've been going for 5 years. Family run business that makes the best sandwiches in Tysons. It's in the basement of an office building and is a very utilitarian space--you don't come here for the atmosphere. That said, it is always clean and well stocked with non-alcoholic drinks. Breakfast and lunch sandwiches are both great. You can eat there, or grab and take back to your office if you are nearby. My co-workers and I think the prices are on the low side, but that may be the economics of their location. A typical sandwich there is anywhere from $3-$5 cheaper than what you would expect topside in the Boro or Galleria, and the portions are actually bigger.
The owners are the best of best. Always welcoming and friendly.”

“Great food and ambience.
Our server Kathleen was fantastic. She was pleasant, informative and super attentive. Kathleen made our lunch a memorable experience.”
“I've eaten here just under a dozen times now, and every experience has been better than the last. This is an incredibly strong contender for my favorite restaurant of all time.”
“Food was fabulous. Our table had the pizza, gnocchi and a seafood dish. All were spectacular. The service was awesome. Will definitely come back.”
“this is located on the 3rd floor of the Galleria mall. Several "fast-eating" places if needed but bringing your computer and getting a coffee you can get some work done. Very large and pretty environment.”
“Excellent food and service!! Friendly staff reasonably priced. Very nice and clean restaurant. I highly recommend!!!”

“We came here when it was still called Simply Fresh. Had not eaten there since it changed its formula, now called Tav Bistro. We went there yesterday evening for first time for dinner. My wife and I both had the salmon for entree. Best entree we have eaten in a long time. Michelin star level. Really. Amazing. Keep it up Tav Bistro!”
“Never have I ever tasted such incredibly delicious Chocolate Pistachio Baklava!!! Parsa Bakery is a true McLean treasure from warm welcoming Sarah to the European Middle Eastern specialty items. The pastries are baked fresh daily on-site and you'll have to taste them to believe it!”

“I hosted a friend’s birthday party at ShipGarten and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, the staff was absolutely amazing. They made the entire planning process easy and stress-free, with clear, quick, and efficient communication every step of the way. They were incredibly accommodating. The food was great, my favorites were the funnel cake fries and the guacamole. The Cider was delicious!!! The venue itself is fantastic for hosting events, and I highly recommend ShipGarten for birthdays, gatherings, or any special occasion. One of the things I love most is that they also host dog-friendly events, which makes the place even more special! I had an amazing time and will absolutely be using ShipGarten for future events!!!”
“Today my husband and I had the opportunity to dine at Fleming. The staff was AMAZING! Matt, the manager was on top of every request, need, and want. As soon as anyone in the restaurant needed anything, we witnessed him assisting the service staff to make sure that it was done immediately. He is the type of manager that people dream of! Wish he were on my team. Luis was our server and was great! He was on top of our every need, was attentive, and easily on of the best servers I've ever had. To round out the team, Juan was behind Luis with any additional support that we needed. Quiet professional with great service; Quick, fast, and in a hurry. The ambiance of the restaurant is hard to find in DC. It was quiet enough for a one on one conversation, but energetic enough to make sure that we were not bored. The food was top notch! My stomach hurts because I should have tapped out 15 minutes ago but the food was too good to stop. I'd recommend the Leviathan wine and tomahawk steak. We are big eaters and could not finish our salads and soup, steak, or desserts! My husband highly recommends the French onion soup, Mac and cheese, and Brussels sprouts. Overall the service, ambiance, food, and staff were wayyyyyy more than we expected. We look forward to patronizing this location again. I wish I had pics, but we ate too fast.”

“This halal hidden gem is a must try. The only bad thing about it is how didnt i know about this place before?! I got a latte and the beef and eggs. Every bite wowed me. Do you know what makes me love a place? Of course not you have no idea who I am.
A place that takes risks. Not afraid to add spices and herbs. This cafe is not afraid to add their Lebanese flavors. Their bread was the best sub roll I've had in nova.
Excellent its a must try.”
“These cookies are so damn good. Don't balk at the price - each cookie is rich enough for two people to share or just take home. Skip the long line at the pretzel place next to it and treat yourself to one of their unique flavors. Also, if you've been to that other prominent cookie store, I find that CC's cookies don't all start to taste the same as you try the different kinds.”
“I’m a daily customer and absolutely love this Sweetgreen location! The ingredients are always fresh, the food is consistently delicious, and the staff is friendly and efficient. It’s my go-to spot for a healthy meal, and they never disappoint. Highly recommend to anyone looking for fresh, flavorful salads and bowls!”
“Just an incredible restaurant - amazing food out of this world our server was simply impressive with one month on the job - I can't say enough good things about him. I will always be back !!!”
