“Amazing little spot! My husband and I came here for the first time this weekend and were very impressed. Everything was delicious and tasted so fresh! My husband had the Adana Kebab platter, and I had the veggie kofte platter. We also tried the lemonade, hibiscus sherbet, and Turkish coffee--all delicious! It was my first time having Turkish coffee, and it definitely did not disappoint. We were too full to have dessert there, but the owner gave us some complimentary baklava to take home, which we thoroughly enjoyed later that evening. The owner was so welcoming, and we loved chatting with her about Turkish food and culture. It's clear that she truly cares about her customers and sharing a piece of her culture, which was so nice. We will definitely be coming back!”

“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.”

“My husband and I visited Eddie V , we experienced an intimate dinner ,our servers Chris and Taylor were absolutely amazing. The ambiance at the restaurant was cozy , the food was amazing and the drink were delectable.
All the recommendations by our severs were amazing.”
“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!”
“My 10 yo daughter said ‘if I could give it 2,000 stars, I would!’ Juan took our order and his service was fantastic. The food was amazing! As a vegan family it’s hard to find a restaurant where we can feel confident that the food is safe for us. Here, we can eat freely. We had cheeseburgers, crispy chicken sandwich, egg Sammy and bbq mushroom burger - all were so good. We’ll be getting milkshakes too which I assure you will be delicious!!”
“I was expecting a stuffy overpriced experience but this place is fantastic. Our server Carlos was a joy, the meals were delicious, and they have these lovely mini desserts that are impossible to resist.”
“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!”

“Amazing experience here today, extra big thanks to Joel for taking care of me with my dairy allergy.
I saw the menu had a bunch of vegan options and decided to take the risk. This required me asking for change of gloves and getting ingredients from the back. Joel was super kind told me which ingredients he could put on top safely and then made sure everything was clean.
10/10 he was great and patient as I felt bad that he had to go a little slower to accommodate. In end I was able to have my pizza safely and would 1000% come back here. If you do have an allergy just be patient and be prepared to make adjustments but they work to the best of their ability to accommodate.”
“Excellent food at this outlet of Peter Changs. The highlights were the dry chili fish and the dragon eggplant.
I love that they make their mapo tofu vegetarian which was very good. Same for the Dan Dan noodles but this was probably the only dish i didn’t love.
Very good service and definitely a place I want to visit again soon.”
“This place is amazing every time. They always have great fresh fish and the staff is great. Super friendly and open to being creative.”
“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 ☺️”

Drive-Thru Restaurants
“We stay at this Ritz-Carlton location from time to time, and Entyse is a focal point of those visits. It’s an all-day operation, and indeed the only dining option on-property. The bartenders and wait staff are highly attentive, personable, and quick to remember your preferences. There’s usually a decent crowd, and on weekends there’s live music ranging from jazz piano to a classic hits band.
While it is definitely a lounge first and a restaurant second, there is a decently extensive menu for each breakfast, lunch and dinner with a number of tempting options. There’s also a bar menu that’s served all day and until midnight daily, which is a godsend for the weary traveler arriving late in the evening.
So many places close early in this post-Covid era that it’s great to see a proper hotel bar open late nightly.
Oh, and if you’re a wine person like I am, you’ll certainly enjoy the 25+ options offered by the glass. Although we are guests of the hotel, it’s easy to see why so many locals frequent this lounge too.”
“The food was good but the service was amazing!! Special thanks to Ronan Lawrence he made sure to take good care of me and recommended the Chang’s Spicy Chicken along with an Asian pear Mojito and both were phenomenal!! Highly recommend that you go and ask for Ronan!! He is the goat”
“There is always a place in our hearts for the easy asian takeout restaurant, and this has taken the role from the 3 others we kept drifting between. Considerably above the average (although the dumplings are soundly beaten out by another of our options), this has become our regular stop when we have a hankering for this variety of cuisine.”
“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.”
“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.”

“The combination kabob is a good go to a quick service meal. The cashier was really nice and gave my daughter a drink on the house. It was the first visit and I have been eyeing this location for a while. The combo includes bothe chicken and beef. My daughter prefers the beef but I prefer the chicken. You let me know your favorite. If you dont have time to sit and want something healthy and flavorful then this is the place for a quick bite by nice people. The only thing is the pita wasn't outstanding but I can take that. I am there for the kabobs and rice.”
“I came in feeling sad one day and had the best customer service I could’ve dreamed of this dude named Javier was such a blessing to talk to he helped me fix my bad thoughts and made me the best smoothie so good 10/10 I would recommend you going in and asking for Javier what a guy”
“This place is in the second floor of an office building, just so you know. If you feel like quick breakfast or lunch, and you don't want fast food, then this place is perfect. What makes it unique from other lunch cafe spots is the Korean bbq bowls. If I want a normal lunch sandwich, I'd just go to any nearby place. But if I feel like Korean food, I don't have to go to Annandale and pay $20 or so. I tried the spicy chicken bowl. It was not very spicy, maybe less than a mild chicken wing. I liked the flavor and would totally come back here for that. The sides that came with the bowl...I'd prefer more flavor. Which might make it more greasy or fatty, but oh well. I also tried the grilled chicken sandwich. I liked it, but you can get that anywhere. Service and staff 5/5 Very nice people, and good came quickly. Cleanliness 5/5 Food 4/5 I liked the chicken, but the sides were kinda...just there. Portions 3/5 Maybe I'm spoiled, but I wanted more. Price 5/5 You can get a bbq bowl with sides or a sandwich and side for less than $10. For the area, that's pretty good.”
“I go to several different locations of Starbucks. This location and one in Great Falls are my favorites since they are big and have lot of seating capacity. All Starbucks employees have always been very courteous to me. I have been going to Starbucks since 1991!”
“District Taco in McLean is easily one of the best Mexican food places in the DMV area! We ordered guacamole with chips, a bowl, and a burrito, and everything was really good. The guacamole was fresh and tasty, and the chips were nice and crunchy. Both the bowl and burrito were packed with flavor, and the portions were pretty generous too.
What I really like about this place is how fresh everything tastes. The food is consistently good, and you get a great meal for the price. We’ve tried quite a few Mexican food spots around the DMV, but District Taco is definitely one of our favorites. Highly recommend!”
“Delicious tacos from this friendly, family run cafe. All sauces made in house. We returned the next day for their breakfast croissant and iced coffee! Good selection of sweet treats and sodas too Free parking and a nice outdoor seating area was appreciated. Highly recommend.”
“The food and flavor palette of this new Vietnamese restaurant are phenomenal! I am Vietnamese and grew up eating homemade Vietnamese food. This fast-casual place knocks it out of the park!”
“This a neighborhood gem. Great service. Excellent food. Everything is delicious.”

“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!”

“So, I hadn’t been to Yard House in yearssss prior to this last visit. I used to come to Yard House every time I was craving a good veggie burger. Needless to say, I stayed the course.
We got here late one Friday evening and were seated fairly quickly on their patio. Our waiter was jovial and kind, providing prompt customer service.
We started off with the Fried Calamari, which were fried and seasoned well. True to my cravings prompted by Yard House, I of course got the Mediterranean Veggie Burger, which was still a great decision. The flavors of their patty just does it for me. Their sweet potato fries, however, used to be bomb.com but that has since changed. My friend ordered their Lobster Garlic Noodles, which were also really good.
I’m truly just glad to know that I still have a place for a good Veggie Burger.”

“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!!!”

“The signage isn’t great as this is located inside the food hall, and the hours for the hall don’t necessarily apply to the Cafe.
However, there was a very wide selection of baked goods that looked fresh, and the service was FAST when I ordered an espresso on ice.
This is a near hidden gem that is worth a stop if you are looking for a quick caffeine kick and some baked goods, both savory and sweet.”
“As a native Thai who loves exploring local food, Sorn Thai Restaurant & Bar truly delivers! I ordered the duck rolls and Kua Gai, and they tasted just like authentic meals back home in Thailand. On top of that, the ambiance is great and the staff provides fantastic service. Highly recommended”
“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 !!!”
