35 Best Wine Bars near Mclean

“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.“

“I stopped in for a quick drink and ended up staying longer than planned, much thanks to the incredible service from the bartender, Adrienne. From the moment I sat down, she made me feel welcome with a genuine smile and easygoing conversation.

What stood out most was her pleasant demeanor—friendly without being overbearing, and always approachable. It’s clear she enjoys what she does, and that energy adds so much to the atmosphere. I was unsure of what to order and asked her to surprise me with a drink made with rum and she did not disappoint. Adrienne handled the bar effortlessly and I will be back!“

“This is the only steakhouse we go to in Tyson's out of many because it is always top notch food and service. Ask for Coach as a waiter, he has served us multiple times and is the best. They even gave us a complimentary dessert after hearing we were celebrating closing on our new home.“

“I always choose Seasons 52 for any large group gatherings in the area. Their team consistently works together seamlessly, the service is smooth, and the food is always excellent. The pricing is also far better than most options in Tysons Mall. Keep up the great work, Seasons 52!“

“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.“

“We had a blast despite the chill today. Looking forward to coming back when it is just slightly warmer. My only complaint would be why the heaters weren't turned on by the playground today, a lot of us parents were freezing.“

“Good place to go with friends.“

“There’s something magical about Little Black Bird. It’s the kind of place that draws you in quietly, then stays with you long after the night ends. From the moment we walked in, we were wrapped in a sense of calm sophistication — every detail, from the lighting to the music, felt just right.
The food? Thoughtful, elegant, and deeply satisfying. Every dish told a story, and you could taste the care that went into each bite. Chef Ryan is clearly cooking from the heart — there’s a quiet confidence in his food, a respect for ingredients, and a creativity that never feels forced. It’s refined, yet incredibly approachable.

The service was equally unforgettable. Sara, the general manager, is the kind of hospitality professional every great restaurant needs. She has an innate grace, a genuine warmth, and a gift for making each guest feel like they’re the most important person in the room.

It’s rare to find a restaurant that feels both special and unpretentious, but Little Black Bird nails it. We came in for dinner — we left already planning our next visit. What a gift to have a place like this in DC.“

“Last week we enjoyed dinner with Edgar Allen Poe. Okay, so maybe not the man himself- but about as close as I could imagine the experience to be. Dark, decadent, and full of surprise. We got to try their seasonal Poe themed menu, and it’s not just dinner- it nears theatre on a plate.“

“Great beers and delicious locally sourced foods“

“The branzino was fresh and deliciously prepared. The accompanying bread was freshly baked. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“We were greeted by Luther the 12 foot Halloween decoration when we entered! It was a delight from the moment we opened the door! Service was outstanding. The food was so delicious! I had the bourguignon, the best I've ever tasted! I really appreciated the spacing between the tables and even though the restaurant was full, I could have a nice conversation with my companions. I can't wait to return. This is now my favorite place in the neighborhood!“

“excellent peruvian foood!!!! totally recommend!!!!!! i was very impressed and drove 1.5hrs to try it. worth the drive!!!!!!“

“We've had lunch and brunch there, and it was all good.“

“My wife was craving Thai food for her 45th birthday and we were wowed by the food. The vegetable fried rice was my favorite, but my son loved the chicken satay and wonton soup, and you can never go wrong with panang chicken. Will definitely be coming back for more!“

“We always have such a delightful experience at Champagne & Sugar! The atmosphere is chic and inviting, and it truly is a unique spot. We love the attention to detail and the luxurious treatments offered. It’s a wonderful spot for anyone looking to relax and indulge in some self-care and shopping. We highly recommend Beauty Champagne & Sugar for a truly fabulous beauty experience!“

“Verre Wine Bar offers a warm, elegant atmosphere with a well-curated wine list that caters to both experts and casual drinkers. The staff is knowledgeable and welcoming, making recommendations without the pretension. Small plates like the charcuterie board and truffle fries are delicious, though slightly pricey. It’s a cozy, quiet spot — perfect for date nights or catching up with friends. Reservations are a good idea on busy nights.“

“Great atmosphere & customer service! ❤️“

“Welcome addition to the neighborhood. Super cozy and buzzy spaces (bar area especially can get a bit loud) with a great wine and spirits list and an interesting and innovative take on French cuisine. Maybe more of the classics are coming, but for now few dishes on the menu were anything we recognized as typical French bistro fare, but that departure was also refreshing. We’ll be back (if we can get a table… that wasn’t an easy thing to do for a Saturday night at 7 PM). Good for them!“

“I had the most wonderful dining experience at La Fromagerie! Everything was delicious and the service was great! I began with champagne and foie gras. Next, I had the bouillabaisse; then, cheese course (a double or triple cream). I finished the meal with a chocolate pot de crème. I can’t wait until my next visit!“

“It is finally nice to eat a meal the marries spices from different continents together to create/perfect comfort foods. Phenomenal.... A party in your mouth!!!“

“#AmazingRestaurant #LeSelRestaurant 🥰“

“I was lucky enough to get a pre-opening preview of this business tonight. And I was blown away. The place is beautiful, and Megan and Sean are so hospitable and so knowledgeable about wine. I always thought of myself as someone who couldn't tell the difference between acceptable wine and anything better, until Megan poured me a glass of Beaujolais. Amazing.“

“Simply the best hotel I ever stayed“

“We had our wedding afterparty here in the spring and it was amazing. Chas, the owner, was super responsive and welcoming and made sure we had the best time. Drinks were great, vibes were awesome. Highly recommend for your events - or just pop by if you’re in the neighborhood!“

“We stopped here on our way through DCA last week and really enjoyed it. The wine selection is amazing and the food was good and reasonably priced. Our server, Rekik made some great recommendations. She is a great server and we look forward to seeing her again on our next trip thru DCA.“

“I cannot recommend this place enough! The atmosphere is fantastic, the food is delicious and the staff is superb. Our entire experience was something special. My father had the table side carbonara, my husband had the braised short rib lasagna and I had the famous chicken parmigiana ala vodka. The staff paid attention to our every need and made this dining experience so enjoyable. Next time we are in the area we will be sure to come back.“

“Nice wine pair with mussels. Reasonable pricing.“

“Great selection of (good) wines, excellent customer service. Dustin is very friendly and attentive to his customers. Location is accessible. Nice little spot to get away from the big crowds and noise to have a gathering of close friends to hangout with. Definitely recommend it.“

“If you are on a gluten free diet, this restaurant is a real treat. This is the ONLY restaurant I know of in the entire DC area that offers gluten free French toast!!! It is really yummy. It is gluten free cinnamon raison bread that they make into French toast. It is served with maple syrup that has few slices of bananas in it. It is always served warm. (Be sure to look for the bananas. If the French toast is served with sliced strawberries, that is the wheat based French toast.) This restaurant also has gluten free bread so most of their sandwiches can be made gluten free upon request. And they can make their eggs benedict gluten free by using their gluten free toast. It is a very pleasant experience dining here. I usually dine outside. They are located on a small street in Georgetown. Georgetown can be crowded but on this small street, it is never very busy. On a nice weather day, it is a pleasant experience to eat the gluten free French toast while enjoying the weather. The service is always good too. I enthusiastically recommend this restaurant.“

“We had never tried Afghani food before, and I am so glad we did. The staff was so friendly and helpful with any questions we had. They recommended the Mini Taste of Arocostia for our first time. Everything was FANTASTIC!!! The food was cooked perfectly. The service was great! We never had to ask to have our beverages filled up, because they were already on top of it before we had to ask. They packed all our leftovers into boxes for us for our way home. We will definitely be going back!“

“Absolute 5 star experience with a special shoutout to our server, Chaewon, who made it feel like a Michelin dining experience. I made a reservation for two on a Saturday night to celebrate a birthday. Booking a week in advance, the prime time dinner hours between 6pm and 9pm were already limited. So I highly recommend booking in advance. Upon arriving 15 minutes early, we were greeted by the hostess and seated with little to no wait (~2 minutes). Upon being seated, our table was already set for two and we were quickly greeted by our server, Chaewon. After she explained the menu and the dining experience, we elected to go with the Dinner Prix Fixe option, which was $80 per person, and included multiple cuts of meat, a welcome dish (currently a Pumpkin Porridge), a side, an appetizer, a savory dish per person, and a dessert per person. The Dinner Prix Fixe is absolutely the way to go when dining here and we were more than stuffed. We typically do the all you can eat type of restaurant for Korean BBQ, but this place easily topped those in taste and experience. Every single meat was tender and literally melts in your mouth. I also want to just reemphasize the point about the Michelin star-like service. There wasn't a single second where we felt like we were waiting for anything or questioning anything we ate. Food came out super quickly with perfect spacing between dishes. Every aspect of the meal was described in detail as it was cooked and served. Water was constantly refilled. The table was cleaned thoroughly after the main meal and before serving dessert with fresh new utensils. To top it off, as we left the restaurant, our server personally took the time and effort to open the door for us as we exited. So if you're looking for Korean BBQ or just a fantastic dining experience in general, I HIGHLY recommend dining at Ingle and asking for Chaewon to be your server.“
