“I have been here two times and it has been exceptionally good. One thing I want to mention is I loved the mushroom sauce that they had with their meats. The second time I came they told me that they took it out because people “complained” about the mushroom sauce. I would just like to say to those people who hate mushrooms to grow up please and I would love for them to bring it back. Our waiters every time have been polite with great service by the way.“
“We go to 2941 for many of our special celebrations and we are never disappointed. The food is excellent, the service is impeccable, and the sommeliers are incredible (really, ask them anything about any of the wines). We both had the chef's tasting with the wine pairing and were perfectly satiated at the end. The portions are on-point. We told our waiter the occasion we were celebrating and anyone who visited our table expressed congratulations and brought an extra special complimentary dessert at the end. We had a 7:00 reservation and arrived a bit early so we were able to watch the ducks come back to the pond as the gloaming fell and it was kinda magical. We'll definitely be back.“
“Recently, I had a wonderful lunch with my friend to celebrate our birthdays. Service and food were top-notch. Our server surprised us with a complimentary dessert (and no reminder was needed...the restaurant read the notes on the reservation). The booths are so cozy and comfortable with a unique design. I also took takeout home to my family, who loved it.Parking: Lots of free complimentary guest parking spots in attached building on the ground floor.Wheelchair accessibility: I noticed an easy smooth entrance from parking lot into the restaurant... no steps.“
“Food and drinks were excellent- we loved everything we tried! Service felt extremely rushed. We had a 6:30 pm reservation on a Saturday night and were done with drinks, apps, and dinner by 7:10. We were told we needed to put our entire order in at once as opposed to staggering it. The app arrived before we even got our drinks. Five minutes later, the entrees were out. We understand the need to turn over tables, but this was just way too rushed for our liking.“
“As I’d expect, this GAR didn’t disappoint. We got appetizers and the warm bread! We had soups and salads w the bread pudding to share.Bartenders made me a great gin and tonic, w the correct amount of limes — which is A LOT!Our server was sheer perfection. Very attentive and was there at any point we needed anything, which we didn’t bc he took care of everything for us.Only thing I wished it was a bit quieter. Hard to talk/hear across a large table.“
“Banditos Tacos and Tequila was definitely a pleasant surprise. Despite it being a busy Friday night and not having a reservation, there was no wait for great booth seating - and the music was great.The Hamburger Nachos were scrumptious and were definitely shareable — the portion size was huge!! I went with the Quesadilla Marina for my main course & devoured it!! The Old Bay seasoned shrimp and cilantro claw were THE perfect combo with the Chihuahua cheese ?Our server was super duper attentive and checked in often to make sure we had enough water and also weren’t waiting to order anything else.“
“The meal was exquisite. The dishes were well presented, creative and delicious as well as showing upon rather generous, dare we say it, North American portions. Our server (and others passing) was/were fantastic but we did sit at the bar and not at a table. This was a choice that we consciously made because we were celebrating our 19th anniversary sans children. Intimacy. A few reviews complain about price or the lack of selections on the menu. All we can say is: post-COVID prices have gone up significantly but that is true for everything that we, as a community, consume today. It might be harder to stomach the price increases for discretionary expenses like a fancy meal. In any event, please do not expect 1980s or even 2019 prices. Secondly, yep, it is pricey, but it is worth every centime. The "limited" menu is what really good restaurants do, not to gouge you, but to spoil you with a core set of dishes that will tantalite the palate of almost every true gourmand. NUE hits the mark rather well. Finally, one kink in the armor, is how food is served today and how waitstaff interact with customers. Partly caused by the clash of generations, e.g., servers and the served may have 30 to 40 years between them, partly because due to COVID the new wave apparently did not get to learn from the OGs who did not return to the hospitality business sector, and is likely partly due to the pace of life in the DMV as practiced by folks with maybe too much money. That service process part needs to be ironed-out, but it is not just an issue at NUE, but at most, if not all, DMV fine food establishments. We, for one, will be back to NUE very soon. We just need to save up for it and we won't have to wait a year.“
“Beautiful interior!Price is on the expensive side, but I definitely think the food is worth the money.Their speciality menu is the Yakitori Platter, which is think is pretty good but I didn’t really like the roasted peppers, i honestly would rather just order everything else on the combo and add on something else other than the pepper. ?️Their spicy miso ramen had so much chili Oil that all I could taste was the chili oil and no miso. I’ll give it another try but my reviews stay at 4 due to this.“
“Food was delicious, beautifully presented and plentiful. Waitstaff was very busy but managed their tables fairly well. The food delivery was not as professional though; we were asked to “pass the plates” to the correct recipient even though there was room for that staff to maneuver to the person and place the plate in front of them. Tables are crowded together and although we made a reservation for a celebration and asked for a table location out of the main traffic, we were pushed to one of the most heavily trafficked spots, near the entrance to the bathroom, to the bar etc. We requested a change and were accommodated at a table but it was frustrating to see 2 women seated at a booth designed for 4 persons, that could have accommodated my party more appropriately. I wondered if our reservation request had even been considered. All in all, it's the food that will bring me back to give dining here another try.“
“This is a family owned restaurant. Ofc the owner couldnt be any friendlier. Keep in mind that it's a small place. The lobster roll I had was wayyyyy better than "Mason's Famous Lobster Rolls" in DC and Shirlington. Their roasted beef burger was divine to me since I'm a meatlover. I enjoyed the clam chowder more than I thought. You can find it easily in this DMV area but this place might have the best clam chowder. Lobster bisque was also good (but I liked the clam chowder more). Whoopie pie was alright, not my thing, but you have to try their Boston cream pie. Will definitely come back to try the fried dishes because I saw the next table order a lot of those. I don't have to think of Boston anymore when I crave lobster rolls.“
“This is a great small venue. The kind of place where you can get up close to the stage, or get reserved seats in the back. But basically, you'll have a great view no matter where you are. Nice restaurant and bar adjacent. I wish I had known about all the food options beforehand. Great selection of beer and wine.“
“Fabulous experience! My husband and I came here for our anniversary date night, and Rahel(our server) as well as the manager that night treated us like royalty. The food is exquisite, ambiance is dim, romantic, and a complete vibe. We happened to be dressed up while most other patrons were very casual. This will be our new go to spot for dinner, snacks, watching a game or just hanging with friends. Thank you for a great dinner!“
“Absolutely loved Hangry Burger! The #5 Livid Lamb with fresh ingredients and halloumi cheese was perfection, especially with the tzatziki. My wife, usually picky, devoured the #4 Cranky Chicken. The strawberry milkshake paired perfectly with our meals. Fries could improve, but still a 5-star experience!“
“"Tiki Thai offers a blend of flavors with some hits and misses. While their dishes lean towards the expensive side and portions may not be the most generous, their premium tacos stand out for their crunch and value for money. The ambiance and decor evoke a vibe atmosphere, adding to the dining experience."“
“Cafe Kindred is the best! I placed a catering order for an event I was hosting at my business. Everything and everyone was so great and helpful! From answering my questions to placing the order and picking it up, everything was seamless! My event was successful and everyone raved about the food!! Thanks Cafe Kindred!!!!“
“This is a lively food hall with a few choices for vendors. This place does a pretty good job with its Asian fusion dishes. There's trivia on Monday nights and it looks like there might be other activities like karaoke. This is one of the few places open late on Sundays.“
“Excellent appetizers, drinks and entrées! Love to vibe and warm decor. The mussels and calamari are amazing appetizers. The shrimp and grits entree was amazing and service was friendly and attentive. The general manager stopped by too and was welcoming and very friendly. Will definitely be back! Best old fashioned (bourbon) in northern Virginia!“
“Had this delivered so can't really say anything about the restaurant itself. We ordered the Pad Thai, Mango Sticky Rice, and Chai Iced Tea. Our food arrived in about 15 minutes and was hot and fresh. Everything was well packaged, with napkins and eating utensils included. The Pad Thai was a bit sweeter than what I am used to, and there was a delicate seasoning that I couldn't quite place. Overall the entire meal was fabulous! This is my first time trying any type of sticky rice, and l was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it was. Light and sweet with a creamy, coconut milk dressing. Will definitely try this again next time I'm in town.“
“We had our second annual gathering for high tea here. Lovely atmosphere and wonderful staff! Thank you!Dietary restrictions: I'm lactose intolerant and I ate everything!! Very considerate of dietary restrictions. It was all delicious!Wheelchair accessibility: Valet parked our accessible van. One of our guest uses a power wheelchair and she had a very delightful time. Staff was wonderful. High marks all around!“
“Met some friends for dinner and I really enjoy the rolls. Everything was so fresh and packed with flavor. I got the pink lady roll, French maki and the yellow tail roll. My friends got the sashimi platter. The service was decent and the server was very patient since my friends were late and he had to wait to put my order in. Over all I'd say this is a great sushi spot that I'd come back to whenever I'm in the area doing some shopping at the mall.“
“Delicious cortado!! There are a few things in this world. I love more than a FRESH Cortadito when I'm in Florida and when I'm in Virginia Culotta shop, definitely scratch that itch. The store is small but very colorful and quaint. Many mugs and merch available for purchase.Many unique options and cocktails! Great addition to the Bloomies in mosaic. The perfect pick me up to keep u shopping and caffeinated. It was nice to see the options they had for different types of dairy or customization. For dietary needs. The lovely lady who rang me up at the register gave gave me me great advice on how to make my latte, sweet but not overly sweet and still authentic with plenty of flavor.I will certainly return for a signature late with a Latin twist!“
“First time here tonight. Our group of three had the cod tacos, steak wedge salad and Cubano sandwich and all was delicious. Our server was Shauna and she did a great job for us - listened well and made good recommendations for us - very personable and very good at her job. It was a little loud due to being crowded so a little hard to hear - otherwise nearly perfect experience. Would definitely go back!“
“Went here for a birthday dinner.Pros: Excellent food, prices not excessive, above average serviceCons: Very noisy, it was hard to have a conversation without raising your voice.Called 6 hours early for reservation. Even after providing full name staff still struggled to find my reservation. Management - I recommend that you have your hostess staff standardize on taking last names not first names when accepting reservations.“
“The absolute BEST sangrias I’ve had. No exaggeration, the guava pear sangria has brought me back to this location multiple times! Atmosphere is top notch & the bartenders are always friendly. $30 Sangria flight is a steep ask but well worth it in the end to find your favorite. The mimosas may be a little too juice heavy for my taste but the $5 special on a Sunday will ensure you try at least one!Kid-friendliness: Not particularly“
“The fish celantro stuff was fantastic!The beans were like a runny gravy.The garlic shrimp was served on the shell and very difficult to chew.The phone was in the booth behind me and kept ringing during the meal.I asked them to move it somewhere else, but I don’t think they know English.“

“Outstanding restaurant & bar inside the Embassy Suites. First off, their breakfast offering is beyond reproach. Great entrees & service. The dinners are also fantastic. It's a great feeling to have a restaurant in your hotel where you can have a great meal, a few drinks & zero worries. Their breakfast is from 6 am - 9 am on weekdays & 7 am - 10 am on the weekends. They also offer an evening social hour. If you're a guest of Embassy Suites their room service hours are 11 am to 11 pm, everyday including weekends.“
“My husband and I came dined in this week and I have to say, the food is amazing. The Pad Thai is phenomenal and my husband enjoyed the Drunken Noodles with Chicken! The restaurant ambiance is stunning, beautifully decorated! However the service was okay. Our waitress looked like she had a bad day and did not engage in conversation. She also had an earphone in, it almost was as if she was on the phone while serving us. However, the food made up for the service and Burapa gets five stars from us!“
“Loved our first visit. A wonderful selection of bourbon, scotch, and numerous other liqours.Our group of six enjoyed a little of everything, from a whiskey sour and a painkiller mixed drink, to bourbon and several scotches straight up and on the rocks.Our bartender was amazing. And a wealth of knowledge.We didn't get food.But we will when we go back.Because...we're going back.And if you haven't yet been. You should.“
“My friends that live nearby brought me here because the food is good and they said it was great with their two young kids. They were so right!The beer menu had some interesting things like their current seasonal sour. The French dip sandwich was huge and so flavorful, I really enjoyed it. The fries were great. I could have eaten about half the menu and been happy so hopefully one day I can go back and try something else.This place was perfect for young kids, with an $8 kids menu. They brought out plastic cups with lids for the kids, as well as menus and crayons before we had even finished sitting down. The kids meals also came out quicker than ours and it kept them entertained. They've really thought of how to make this easy for parents.I thought it was a great experience overall.Kid-friendliness: This place was perfect for young kids, with an $8 kids menu.

“North Italia in Boro Tysons is an absolute gem! The ambiance is perfect, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. And the food? Simply divine! Their chicken parmesan is hands down our favorite, but everything from their soups to pizzas and desserts is mouthwateringly delicious.Brandon, the manager, deserves special recognition for his unwavering dedication to ensuring every guest feels welcomed and taken care of. His presence truly enhances the dining experience. Kudos also to Wasim for his professionalism and friendly demeanor, adding that extra touch of warmth to our visits. And John's hospitality is always appreciated, making us feel like part of the North Italia family.And let's not forget to mention the red sangria – it's a must-try! Refreshing and full of flavor, it perfectly complements the incredible cuisine. North Italia is definitely our go-to spot for a memorable dining experience.“
“Visited for the first time this evening and loved it! Sat at the bar and talked with the really friendly and helpful waitstaff/bar tenders. There was music playing, but not nearly as loud as some of the other places, so it was very nice to sit and talk with the person I was with. The happy hour drink and food specials are great and go on until 7pm every day! Once our food arrived, we were completely sold. We got 4 different tacos and all were wonderful! Very full tacos with lots of flavor. All the meats were juicy and delicious and the pico and corn salsas were obviously fresh and full of color and flavor. We will definitely be back!!“
