“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.“

“Delicious food! We got two different wraps with the mixed meat. Full of flavor. And OMG the fries were perfect! We both tried the strawberry basil cocktail. Great balance of sweetness and very refreshing. The service was great and we enjoyed talking to the employees. Great atmosphere. We sat on the patio. And the decor is fun with the records and Virginia artists and famous people all around.“

“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.“

“Jaques' Brasserie is the undercroft of L'Auberge Chez Francois. It has a simpler menu, but the food is prepared with the same excellence as L'Auberge. It's a more casual dining experience, but the service is still top tier. I had the sweat breads and calves' liver -- both were excellent. The wine list was perfect for the Brasserie, and the deserts and aperitifs were superb (I had a poire williams, my wife a Mirabelle, which are hard to find. We'll be back.“

“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.“

“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.“

“We have been eating here almost weekly for a year and it's always fantastic. Drunken Noodles, green curry, pineapple curry, crispy duck, you name it - all delicious!“

“Monday $1 oysters on half shell; usually 3-4 east coast varieties. Both the fish and chips, and the shrimp tacos are my lunch go to options.“

“The Thai food we ordered was fresh and delicious. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable, our food arrived without delay, hot and scrumptious! Great atmosphere, very relaxing and cozy. Highly recommend.“

“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.“

““Scaloppine di Vitello Porcini” — top notch. Friendly staff, good food, even the pre-dinner bread was warm, soft and delicious!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Best Ramen and Rice Bowls in town!!!! They are alway so nice and the place is always clean. FYI, in keeping with a proper Ramen establishment, it is small with limited seating. If you have to wait, it is well worth the wait.“

“For several years, the pizzas from Great Falls Deli Italiano were wonderful. Then the problems started - always something unsatisfactory with every order. And the pizza toppings were extremely skimpy. So we stopped ordering from them. Yesterday we decided to give them another try. Glad we did - the Quattro Formaggi pizza and the big steak sub were both delicious. Of course, based on previous experiences with skimpy toppings, I paid for extra amounts of each of the cheeses on the pizza. Do not know what it would be like without paying for extra amounts of toppings.“

“The best Mediterranean food I’ve ever eaten in my life!! The portions are so big and everything is homemade!“

“Great food and atmosphere. Very clean. Service was fast and friendly. Their PHO noodles are served perfectly, not too soft or mushy.. They were also happy to accommodate my daughter's food allergies so she could enjoy a meal with us. Great place.“

“This was our first time here and must say the food is fantastic! We ordered Drunken Noodles Chicken, Fresh Roll w/shrimp, Beef Green Curry. Owner is simply lovely and super helpful. Visit. Eat. Go again! We definitely will. 🤩“

“I've been going to the Silver Diner in Reston for over 15 years. Food is always good, new items added to menu seasonally, staff are real folks who are easy to talk with and joke with as well. You get a sense of "family" when you are there as staff and customers interact. Servers are fun people and make your day. Today was Rubia's day and she is special. Come out and see for yourself.“

“Excellent bbq and sandwiches everything is excellent always will come back here“

“Excellent Sushi, fantastic sashimi!“

“I had an amazing experience at Silver Diner thanks to our waiter, Badr. From the moment we sat down, he was quick, attentive, and genuinely on top of everything. He checked in at all the right times without ever feeling intrusive, and made sure we had everything we needed.

What really stood out was his personality — friendly, upbeat, and funny. He added little jokes and light conversation that made the meal feel even more enjoyable. You can tell he really enjoys his job and cares about giving great service.

Overall, Badr made our visit memorable. Silver Diner is lucky to have him. Highly recommend asking for Badr if you want top-tier service!“

“Yummy food and the staff are amazing! The breakfast burrito 🌯 the bomb 💣 Great place to eat breakfast“

“Their chicken chilly momos are the best!! The vhatmas sadeko makes for a pleasant bit of accompanying crunch and spice. Get some Krispy Krunchy chicken to go, too, while you're at it 😋😋😋“

“Longhorn is one of those places I've always had good experiences except for one mediocre one in Maryland. Tonight food was excellent, inside was very clean, love the decor as I am a Texan and Longhorn grad (well MBA), and service was very good. Great location, spoke to Manager briefly on the way in, could tell he was on top of things. Told the one older server and cute hostess on my way out that they should really add some steak sauces. Forget the BS of having your own sauce, get some standard ones from Sysco and give him some options for maybe a small upcharge. Really impressed with the quality of their filets for the price. As someone who has done a lot of food deals and ran a food plant for one of the top CPGs, I am usually pretty critical on steak quality. But for their prices I have made respect, and they do a really consistent job in cooking them. Great job guys. An old boss was SVP for Fish procurement at Darden, they do a great job!“

“Amazing Sushi and Sashimi - Definitely a Must to Sooo... Fresh and Delicious. We will definitely be Back for more...“

“Carlos, our waiter is awesome!!!!“

“I have lived in Chantilly for 30 years and you CANNOT find a rack of ribs better than Backyard Grill! The potato skins and beignets are wonderful as well!“

“Ivan was on top of service with how quick he was to take orders and to clean up dirty dishes, he also gave good recommendations.
The place looks very clean and upscale.
Food was top notch, not bad for the price.
Will come back again!“
