Whether you want a fine dining experience or are feeling a cozy bar scene, NG is the place to go. Chef Guas is usually in the kitchen plating up his creative menu. If you are lucky, you will see his beautiful wife, Simone, and local McLean peeps dining or drinking on any given night. The burger, the Milanese, and the specials are always great.
Get thee to Neutral Ground Bar and Kitchen with haste! Dinner? Superb. Amazing cocktails at the bar? Sorted. Jazz Brunch? Sublime. Chef David Gays has it goin’ on. #hopeformclean.

Neutral Ground Bar + Kitchen is a delightful addition to McLean, offering exceptional food and beverages. The restaurant features a warm, elegant ambiance with a stunning interior design, creating a perfect setting for any occasion. The service is flawless, with attentive and pleasant staff who ensure a comfortable experience. Standout dishes include the fried onions, Caesar salad, Branzino, oysters, pork chop, and cauliflower, all expertly prepared and flavorful. Brunch options like biscuits with crawfish gravy and broccolini & grits have received high praise for their well-prepared and delicious flavors. The breakfast potatoes are also highly recommended.
The appetizers smoked White Fish and Whipped Ricotta Beets are absolutely delicious, and the Rock Fish in squash puree and the Shrimp entre were exquisite. The Pavlova dessert is a must-have. It's a great Jazz Brunch place with live music that is not too loud. Service was very friendly and attentive. Eggs Benedict and Plato Del Domingo were excellent choices. This is a nice addition to McLean with a sophisticated menu and presentation. Service was smooth, polite, and prompt. Staff seemed well-staffed and managed. Chef Guas's food is consistently fantastic, and the ambiance strikes the perfect balance for both family dinners and date nights. Fair prices, amazing flavors, and a welcoming atmosphere. Parking is plentiful around the location.
