“My husband and I are currently on the Whole30 diet. We saw that Tropical Smoothie Cafe was able to make drinks that were approved by the diet, so we decided to stop in. When we went inside, the manager, Tim, showed us the menu with everything in all the smoothies, and he talked to us about what we could and couldn’t have in them. He was very concerned with making sure we got exactly what we needed to keep to our diet. I am very impressed with the management and the staff at this location. Overall, the experience was great and the smoothie was even better.“

“Service was great, very attentive. Food is always on point 😉“

“The food was fresh and delicious!“

“PLNT Burger is a solid spot for a tasty, plant-based meal. The burgers are surprisingly juicy and flavorful, and the sides are just as good. The vibe is casual and laid-back, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Great place to grab a satisfying bite, whether you’re vegan or just looking for something different — I’ll definitely be back.“

“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 ?“

“Affluent dining with a relaxed but elegant environment.“

“absolutely EXCELLENT staff, great food with unique options and plenty of seating! I had the breakfast lasagna and I enjoyed every bite, wouldn't change a thing.“

“Such a great little spot! The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The borek was incredible and the baklava was the perfect sweet finish. Super friendly staff and a cozy vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. Definitely a must-try if you’re in Falls Church!“

“We came here on a cold windy night and the shabu shabu hit the spot! The staff were very friendly and helpful as they explained and showed us what to do. We ordered prime rib, pork, and shrimp as the proteins. I had a tonkotsu + tomato broth and my husband had the spicy miso + tonkatsu broth. Everything was very fresh and flavorful. We’ll be returning for sure. I recommend California Shabu Shabu!“

“The Food Is So Good I’m Still Amazed By The Sweet Kale With The Chana & Quinoa“

“In recent years there seems to be a proliferation of small-plate Mediterranean restaurants. But Yayla remains as one of the best, reasonably priced originals in northern Virginia. There is a pleasing range of mezzes, salads, entrees hot and cold, flat breads, spreads, etc . I had a Yayla mule, 3 spreads, lemony rice soup and superb shrimp. Friends chose a range of other dishes. I can guarantee whatever you choose, you won’t be disappointed. Everything is flavorful, fresh and beautifully presented. Wait staff and servers are friendly, attentive, knowledgeable and not obtrusive. Don’t miss the nice selection of creative cocktails, wine variety and desserts. Continued success and best wishes for this popular bistro!“

“Hello everyone! My name is Syed Anwar Hussain, and I'm sharing my experience at the best restaurant in the DC area. Today I went to the Bangladesh Embassy, and after I finished my embassy work, I started searching for a good restaurant in that area. Luckily, GPS found the restaurant. We went with my wife and my son, and we ordered three dishes. First, we ordered two dishes. We tasted the first two dishes; they were very delicious. Then we ordered another one. All three dishes were delicious. I really enjoy the delicious food. I have no words to describe how delicious the food is. I highly recommend this place.“

“The service was immaculate. Really warm and kind people who were efficient and smart. PK was our waiter and did a great job. He left us all with a smile on our face. Excellent.“

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

“Excellent food and service. The setting isn't fancy but it lends itself to a casual non pretentious atmosphere where guests enjoy company, good conversations, and of course great food. I will try the other locations to compare but this is a win for sure.“

“Excellent customer service delicious food“

“Superb authentic Indian food. The real taste of south Indian cuisines, well cooked and every item on the Buffet was tasty. The staff greet you with a smile and really take care of your choice of food and also give their suggestions to try other dishes too. They had mild, medium and high spicy foods displayed in the buffet. The atmosphere was very nice, clean and looked very hygienic. I would highly recommend this restaurant, a must try, if you like Indian food. I will certainly go there again. Thanks a million, Keep it up.“

“Great food. They serve authentic Vietnamese food. Everything is well plated with family style portions“

“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!“

“The sandwich I had was delicious! I love that they have so many vegetarian options and everything was incredibly flavorful. The owner was very friendly and helpful with any questions about the items on the menu. It’s a great take on Indian food and I can’t wait to go again to try a different item.“

“Wonderful little spot! Food was great, staff was so friendly and accommodating! I absolutely loved the happy atmosphere, you can certainly tell that everyone enjoys what they do and their customers! We will definitely be back when in the area!“

“The staff and service was impeccable. This is hands down the best sushi restaurant I've ever experienced. The seafood is incredibly fresh, and every dish is visually stunning. The creativity behind the sauces truly sets this place apart, and I even heard the chef makes his own soy sauce—which absolutely shows in the depth of flavor. The Japanese uni was beautifully presented, and the tuna was a deep, rich red that melted in my mouth, finished perfectly with a delicate sprinkle of truffle oil. Every bite felt intentional and expertly crafted. I only wish I lived closer—this would easily be my daily go-to restaurant.“

“Ordered Mexican chicken tacos; the food came promptly, the food tasted excellent! Shelly the server was the nicest, she spoke in a very polite manner & at the end of my meal, she asked how I liked it - my response was the food tastes excellent! The cook in the back with the apron and hair net had the lousiest of attitudes, seemed like a grouch - if you’re reading this, lighten up, life is to too short to be disgusted with everything! Thanks Shelley! •ValT“

“Carlos is the very best! He is a great server and took care of us. My daughter's birthday was awesome because of him! Kudos to this location which also takes GREAT care of its Beer Club members! We'll be back soon!“

“Friendly, good food. Our waitress, Nicole, was outgoing and great!“

“This feels exactly what I want a sushi place to feel like. It is clean with a nice modern feel and the service is professional but kind. The food came out fast and all of the sushi was delicious, my favorite being the maguro nigiri. I do wish the rice to fish ratio was a bit higher, but I will happily come back despite that minor difference in opinion.“

“We enjoyed brunch here for our anniversary. I have several food allergies and I was well accommodated. The food was wonderful and the service friendly. We will be back“

“Was super bz on a Sunday and service was okay but our waitress wasn’t all that great.“

“wow what a gem!!! this place is going to do good business!!!!!!! the entrees ..desserts...service .....everything is amazing!!!!“

“This is the best Ethiopian food (and some of the best food) I've ever had. It's fresh and flavorful, and all of the meat dishes we had were so tender. We tried several veggie and meat options and they were all outstanding. My husband and I love Ethiopian food, so we took our family members who were visiting from out of town and they said it was the highlight of their entire 3 week trip. Service was friendly and very helpful (we ended up just asking them bring whatever they wanted to serve us based on our allergies and aversions). The options were very authentic - from the apps, to the Ethiopian beer, honey wine, and coffee (which they even served it with rue). They also gave us a spicy pepper sauce (upon request for the hottest thing they had), and that was incredible. It is made in house (it's not berbere, mitmita, or awaze. I think it started with a "D", at least the English pronunciation). I would buy it by the jar if available! There was plenty of parking, and we went between a trip to the Udva-Hazy Air & Space and Great Falls. It was the perfect day.“

“Clifton Cafe is our new favorite evening spot on the weekends. We’ve been customers since the original owners opened it years ago, but until this past fall we did more to go orders than dine in since the service and time to prep food was often slow and unpredictable. Now we go almost every week. We’ve noticed big improvements since they expanded their kitchen and redesigned the bar area. Their new pull up bar is beautiful and spacious. The new owners and management are great too! We love the evening staff as well, especially Ian and Nicole. They are very personable, accommodating, and attentive. They have great happy hour specials from 3-6 and make the best margaritas and espresso martinis. Some of our favorite dinner items include the crab dip, Mediterranean salad, cuban sandwich, burgers, crab cakes, quiche specials, banana pudding, and too many crepes to name! We also appreciate that they have become more family friendly. We had a last minute party of 14 on a Friday evening (half of which were children ages 1-11) and they didn’t hesitate to pull some tables together in a private nook to accommodate our large group (again thanks to Ian and Nicole). We noticed they finally got a changing table in the large bathroom, which they are about to install. Our kids are past that stage, but there were several times when they were little that a changing table would have been helpful.“

“Amazing food great atmosphere and they except reservations“

“Good food and great service from Yodi“

“Everything at this place is top notch. The , food, service and atmosphere was great! The best thing about Eddie V's is the consistency. Everytime I dine here I have the same great experience! If you're looking for an upscale dining experience with fantastic cocktails and live music, this is it!“

“Nice Hospitality , comfortable and clean“

“Anaya is a great waitperson! We really had a great time. she was helpful & has a great personality! Food was great too! Dessert was awesome.We had the bread pudding“

“Not sure how to graciously ask this question, but I am usually taken back when I see foodies without prices on their menu. It makes me think those preparing the menu may be arrogant to believe that price means nothing to patrons. Price matters. Are foods and drinks priced too high to be transparent? Are all patrons so well off that price to them really does not matter? I will sometimes pass over a place if they hide their prices, just because there are so many others that do not hide them. The atmosphere just by itself deserves a reluctant visit.“

“After a hard day of work, I went to treat myself to eating Cava - Lee Hwy, I like it because the food is fresh and delicious. When I arrived, I was delighted to see the smiling and friendly staff, but I especially want to thank Diosesis for always giving all customers such a pleasant, smiling and very respectful welcome. Thank you very much for the excellent work you do.“

“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.“

“Jackson’s Mighty Fine Food & Lucky Lounge (BCI: 86) 11927 Democracy Dr, Reston, VA Step into Jackson’s and you’re stepping into a space that bridges eras - a Reston mainstay that blends classic Americana with a contemporary culinary pulse. The curved brick façade, glowing neon, terrazzo floors, and murals set a retro-modern stage that feels both familiar and fresh. The menu is as versatile as the atmosphere. The Blue Crab & Shrimp Fritters arrive golden and crisp, with a lobster-ginger sauce that balances sweet and tang. Deviled Eggs topped with pecans and sugar-cured bacon hit nostalgic notes with a twist. For mains, the Short Smoked Salmon Filet was balanced and flavorful, while the 5 Star Reserve Rib Eye stands out as the indulgent showpiece - perfectly grilled and paired with Brussels sprouts, bacon, and spiced pecans. Gluten-sensitive diners aren’t sidelined here, with Ozzie’s Brick Chicken and even flourless desserts on a dedicated menu. Save room for dessert: the Flourless Chocolate Waffle with Ice Cream was rich yet not overwhelming, and the Lemon Marshmallow Meringue Pie playful and bright. Cocktails, like the Jackson’s Mule, are well-crafted and fairly priced. Service was attentive and well-paced even in a bustling room, though weekends bring a lively (and loud) crowd. Reservations are smart for dinner; weekday lunches are easier. My only miss: the French Dip. Beautifully presented but mine arrived closer to raw than medium rare, with a lukewarm au jus. For $30, I expected more precision. That said, many online reviewers rave about it. So consider it a hit-or-miss item depending on your taste for ultra-rare beef. Whether it’s a business lunch, a date night, or a family dinner, Jackson’s delivers. A broad menu, strong service, and lively atmosphere keep it at the center of Reston dining. BCI: 86 reflects weighted and normalized ratings across multiple platforms, showing that Jackson’s consistently delivers strong experiences. The Brodbeck Confidence Index (BCI) is a proprietary algorithm that blends multi-platform ratings into a single, normalized score to give diners a clearer picture of overall consensus.“

“Great food. Great people. Close to home. Let’s go!“

“We enjoyed our meal at Gregorio’s immensely. The meals were tasty and good portions. The cocktails were strong and right at the limit of reasonably priced. The tiramisu was also on point.“
