“What a special place to have a meal! Fantastic food and service. Fair pricing and simply exquisite food for dinner or weekend brunch. Staff is really knowledgeable and kind, always love coming to this restaurant. Also, it’s nice that it is a well lit dining area and not too loud to have conversations in. Great spot.“

“From the moment we walked into Eddie V's Prime Seafood, the experience was exceptional. The ambiance is elegant yet inviting — perfect for celebrating my mother’s birthday.

The service? Impeccable. Attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm — they truly rolled out the red carpet for my mother’s special day, especially considering it was our first time visiting. Our server, Brent, was on point and ensured every detail was just right from start to finish.

The food was absolutely outstanding. Every bite felt intentional, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. And the cocktails? Crafted flawlessly.

Eddie V’s truly delivers a five-star dining experience — from atmosphere to service to cuisine. If you’re celebrating something special this is the place to be. We will definitely be back!“

“Wonderful food, the trout was amazing and so was the shrimp and crab fritter appetizer. Our waiter Matthew was seriously the best and sweetest waiter I’ve ever had in my life. We are here for vacation but we will without a doubt come back here the next time we are in the area.“

“Amazing food and also gluten free options we had the crab guac, lobster tacos and Bouillabaisse. Chris the bartender made great margaritas and martinis. Highly recommend.“

“I ordered the Nancy Special and it was delicious!“

“Incredible experience from the second you walk in to the moment you leave. The menu is expansive and filled with a huge variety of seafood options. The taste and flavors are exquisite. And the service is very pampering.“

“Best place for seafood in NOVA hands down! From the owners to the men and women that take care of you, it’s my favorite restaurant. 10 stars ⭐️ if I could!“

“Wonderful!! It was a great first experience!“

“That Fresh salad is everything!! All in all, we love Mikes!!“

“Today is my birthday. My mom tried to order jumbo crabs, but it was right when they first opened, so door dash showed they didn’t have them, but Josie came to the rescue!! Thanks Josie, heavy MD jumbo“

“The heart and soul of falls church! Always tasty and super accommodating for gluten free“

“Absolute amazing place to eat traditional fried American food done right by Americans! The prices are fair and there’s a good variety of drinks and sides. The mac & cheese is amazing no matter what that other guy says. To the guy that said it’s not American owned anymore, it most certainly is I guess you just got a problem on what kind of Americans they are. Also, pretty sure they are Korean. Or at least that’s what my Chinese Buddy tells me! But since it is Asian American owned now we are forced to eat with chopsticks.“

“Fish and chips are awesome. Shrimp skewer is delicious. Good value for the price.“

“Lots of empty bins for dinner. Asked if more shrimp was coming out and told no. Not even close to closing time. We paid and left a tip for the crappy service only to have 3 waitresses come over and YELL at us saying the $10 we left was not enough for just 2 of us. I'll NEVER go back. Ever. Mediocre food. bad service, scant offerings, and screaming, greedy wait staff. Nope. Bathroom filthy. In 1 stall toilet paper was stuffed into a football sized hole in wall. Floor littered, mold growing around the baseboards. Horrid smell.“

“Seafood Shack inside Whole Foods in Fairfax is a hidden gem for a casual, healthy meal. The ingredients taste super fresh, and the dishes are lightly seasoned to let the natural flavors shine. It feels like clean eating without sacrificing taste. The prices are fair for the quality, making it a great spot to grab something nourishing after a workout or while shopping. Definitely a solid choice—especially if you care about what goes into your food.“

“A friend and I meet at Theisman's restaurant for lunch quite often. I live in Alexandria and she lives in Warrenton so it's a great middle point. We both love the food and the hostesses and waitstaff are excellent. The atmosphere is nice.. the reason I gave it 4 stars is that the music in there was so loud. We decided to sit on the porch thinking it would be quieter and it was such a beautiful day... unfortunately the music was extremely loud out there too and seemed to increase in volume as we were out there for about 2 hours. I noticed a few other people were saying that it was so loud too. We should have said something to the hostess but we had not seen each other in awhile. Wonderful place, but people do want to be able to talk and hear each other. Hopefully, this will get to the right ears ?“

“As usually the food was excellent! I usually stick the the shrimp and like the signature Hot n Juicy sauces done spicy. Just enough kick without being overbearing. Savory and delicious. Highly recommend coming here if you haven’t already, especially if you call yourself being a seafood lover.“

“We've dined at Patsy's American on several occasions and consistently appreciate the quality, service and atmosphere.“

“Cafe Renaissance has been our important event restaurant for the past 15 years. It has never failed to give us a very rewarding experience from its excellent food and the classy ambiance. Highly recommended!“

“Great service, the food was on time and prepared correctly. It was very clean. I’d definitely return!!“

“We love the Capital Grille. It is such a and welcoming place, and the food is delicious. Best of all is the service. We always look forward to being served by Shayla. She is absolutely fabulous - so delightful and efficient, and she always makes our visits special.“

“the food, the service and the drinks are all amazing. loved the decor as well. it is pricey but very shareable. Matt K. was the best server. Made us laugh and had a blast.“

“Exceptional Service. Culinary Excellence. Our dining experience at JOON was extraordinary, made even better by the exceptional service from our server, Yacine. His thoughtful recommendations, warm demeanor, and perfectly timed attentiveness made for an unforgettable evening. Even as the restaurant got busier, Yacine maintained his focus on us— a warm and welcoming touch that elevated the entire experience. Thank you! As fans of Persian cuisine and frequent shoppers at Yekta Market in Rockville— having recently tried our hand at making Persian dishes like Fesenjan at home— coupled with all of the culinary accolades— we had high expectations for JOON. It not only met but exceeded them. Mast-o Musir, yogurt dish with Persian dried shallot and rose petal, was exceptional— more elevated and nuanced than any we’ve had. The mushroom Khoresht stew with white truffle was another highlight, offering perfectly balanced flavors something hard to do with white truffles and a satisfying richness, complemented by the perfectly crunchy Tahdig, iconic golden rice crust. The braised lamb shoulder which Yacine suggested was the undeniable highlight of the meal I which each dish was excellent. Tender and flavorful, it was paired beautifully with texture. It’s a signature dish that rivals the best we’ve ever had, bringing to mind the legendary Bo Ssam pork shoulder from David Chang’s Momofuku— bold, unforgettable, and expertly prepared. The Gormeh Sabzi, short rib stew with its delicious sour depth, was excellent but couldn’t quite match the lamb’s showstopping brilliance. Two very minor points. While the food and service are exceptional, the main dining room lighting would benefit from dimming. A water filtration water system could make a big difference as well. JOON has firmly secured its place as a must-visit dining destination for us. We can’t wait to return and explore more of the menu.“

“The service and friendly staff are top-notch! Seafood and special seasons and sauces are bangin’! Only wish that they kept the Centreville location.“

“Our team enjoyed a business dinner at this seafood restaurant. Fresh dishes, excellent service, and a refined atmosphere.“

“Amazing food great atmosphere and they except reservations“

“This is our fourth time ordering from Chan’s Kitchen, and they’ve been very consistent. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and reliable, which is why we keep coming back. Friendly and welcoming staff.

The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that the egg rolls can sometimes be a bit greasy, but tastes really good.
Overall, still a solid go-to spot for Chinese food and definitely recommended.“

“they had a really hot guy working there with a little bracelet on what is his name but overall good food.“

“So happy to have Red’s within walking distance of my house. We recently took a group of friends there and were lucky to get the private room. Great food and service! Tried their oysters for the first time and they were really good.“

“I was in Tyson for work at the mall and decided to stop by 52. Hands down, the best filet mignon I’ve had in a long time. Perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor.
Do not skip the mashed potatoes — absolutely the best I’ve ever had. 10/10.
The service at the bar was outstanding. Professional, attentive, and welcoming.
I’ll be back every time I’m in Tyson. Highly recommend.“

“Everything about this place is amazing!“

“Burtons is such a blessing for those with allergies! Staff are highly trained, and everything is labeled so carefully! Every server has been top notch and the food is amazing!“

“The experience was definitely worth mentioning. We had the pleasure of hosting my husbands birthday dinner/ couples date night addition at this place and we scored the private room for small parties. Boy! We are impressed. Annie the coordinator was so flexible and so informative with myself and my husband and made the planing process so smooth. When we entered the place, valet parking was so easy! This was a Saturday evening and it felt too easy. The front staff set the tone and the ambience created a picture for a wonderful evening. We entered a fully set private room 30 min prior to our guest arrival time. Wow!!!! Lourdes and Gary were so accommodating! Lourdes is one to remember because she really made the experience grand. Her smile and her patience with a party of 16 really did show up and shine on Saturday. The food came out so beautifully made, timely and was very appetizing. We will be back! We will talk about this place to others.

Lourdes gave us an entire Photoshoot at the duration of our event. Never rushed us!!! That is stellar service!!!!

Thank you for making this experience so amazing for our guest. ❤️“

“Wonderful service and excellent food. I wanted a NY Strip Steak and I got one - grilled perfectly. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her grilled salmon and my daughter - 10 years old and very picky - was treated respectfully and was well- accommodated. Highly recommended.“

“Ida was our waitress. She was genuinely caring and sensitive to our situation of just losing a brother. She was helpful with menu items and offered hugs of comfort and care. I can’t say enough about her extra-ordinary care and attention to our large table. We all love her and will certainly be back for sure. Thank you for your prayers, love, and empathy regarding our loss. Idayou are truly a God-send this day especially. Thank you, The Eichlers and The Stewarts 7/2/2024“

“The best Indian food place in the entire DMV area. The most flavorful food around. Our favorite dishes are Chicken 65, Chole Bhature, and Butter chicken. Mango Lassi is delicious as well. The inside is decorated very tastefully, and the staff is super friendly.“

“Excellent food Original recipes High quality ingredients Prices... À bit high but still acceptable Good and friendly staff Very nice and friendly place“

“This was our 4th time here and we had a good experience. These are not complaints, but things I would adjust: salad dressing was a little tart, Firebirds chardonnay was on the sweet side... ok this is actually a complaint - the beer list is severely lacking for a place with $60 entrees (it's basic, boring, and on-par with big chain restaurants). That said, our server was fantastic. In addition to her professionalism, she brought us another round of drinks (the non-alcoholic ones) without asking. I don't know if that's standard procedure for Firebirds or just her attentiveness, but those little things go a long way. The food was excellent, too!“
