Glyn was our server and she was pleasant and offered some great suggestions for wines. We had Ian come by our table and we were so surprised he remembered us from other visits. We shared the house salad, the tri tip, and the spicy sausage pizza. Everything was delicious! The manager also stopped by our table to see if we needed anything and introduced herself. It made for a warm, let's make this a regular hangout type of spot. We will definitely be back. On other visits we have tried zucchini chips, the pastas, and the charcuterie. You can't go wrong!”

12021 Town Square St, Reston

“I cannot recommend this place enough - it truly hits the mark for any occasion, whether it be a casual hangout, romantic date, important business meeting, or catching up with friends. The ambiance is lively and vibrant, creating an atmosphere that is both energetic and comfortable. And let me tell you, the service here is unparalleled. The staff truly goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome and taken care of. Even without a reservation, we were accommodated with ease. The hostess offered us a table, but we opted for the bar instead. Our bartender, Denisse, was an absolute gem. She was warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. She recommended some fantastic cocktails and dishes that we simply couldn't resist. We started with the passionfruit mezcalita, which was so refreshing that we ordered multiple rounds. And then, we dove into the menu. I decided to try a variety of tacos, and let me tell you - they did not disappoint. The roasted duck taco had a wonderful tamarind glaze and caramelized onions that added the perfect touch of sweetness. The pork belly taco was spicy and flavorful, and the crispy oyster taco was crunchy and delicious. The Baja fish taco, with its spicy tempura-battered cod and chipotle slaw, was an absolute standout. I loved it so much that I ordered four more! My girlfriend went for the chips and salsa verde, which were perfectly seasoned and fresh. She also ordered the chicken tacos, which were juicy and flavorful. And of course, we couldn't resist trying the cheese steak taco with Oaxaca cheese - it was a total winner. Overall, I can confidently say that this restaurant is a must-visit. The freshly squeezed pomegranate juice Paloma with tequila was the perfect finishing touch to an already incredible meal. Don't miss out on this gem in the Reston Town Center.”

“Elegant restaurant in the heart of Reston Town Center. The restaurant is very nicely decorated and has an aquatic theme. I had the sushi tower and blackened mahi mahi. The sushi rolls and sashimi was very good and fresh. The mahi mahi however was a little on the salty side. Service was attentive and friendly. I enjoyed my experience at PassionFish and look forward to coming back!”

“Heirloom is a cute "speakeasy" meaning there is an unmarked door inside another restaurant. The decor and ambiance is so nice. The drinks are unique and beautiful and the food and service were great. I especially loved the gnocchi and the burrata. The appetizers are well worth the price but the entrees seem priced on the high side for the portion. I would give this place a 4.5 taking off .5 for price. I will be back again for sure. I would love a happy hour with discounted items if only 3-6.”

The level of freshness and attention to detail is really great. The head sushi chef, Sam, is truly an amazing talent and is an absolute pleasure to talk to.

“the brunch food (scramble, chicken and waffles) was absolutely excellent, but bizarrely the "unlimited brunch" only allowed 2 apps (we didn't want any) and 3 entree choices between the 2 of us. We weren't told this until we tried to order a fourth item (between the two of us). 3 items for two people definitely didn't feel unlimited.”

Nice cocktails too. The manager came around and welcomed us - very nice. We go here often and will be back soon!!”

Big Buns Damn Good Burgers 1904 Reston Metro Plaza, Reston Hamburger • $$
1904 Reston Metro Plaza, Reston

“While traveling cross-country in 2002, Craig Carey couldn’t help but notice that every town he visited had a “best burger.” In fact, the regional differences of each burger he had experienced during his trip made him wonder, why was there no restaurant that served more than one style of burger? This simple question became the beginning of their journey.In 2005, Craig teamed up with Tom Racosky, an experienced Chef from Houston’s (now Hillstone), and together they started to mold their vision for Big Buns Damn Good Burgers, a modern “burger joint” with a rotating selection of delicious burgers and craft beer that felt more like a backyard party than a restaurant.On June 19th, 2007, Big Buns opened its first location in Ballston, Arlington and over the years became a neighborhood fixture. Nearly a decade later, Craig and the growing team spoke about the original vision for Big Buns and began to wonder, what would the restaurant look like today if they could do it all over again?This simple question inspired a new look and several more Big Buns locations throughout Northern Virginia (plus one location in sunny South Florida). The new restaurants were filled with bright colors, murals and bold sound. Dining rooms and patios came standard with communal tables and beer garden vibes. Newly added beer taps and frozen slushie machines fueled the party-like atmosphere.While some things changed, other things remained the exact same, like the commitment to their founding mission — to serve the world's most delicious + innovative burgers while sharing the idea of an inclusive backyard party with our amazing guests.People often want to know the reasons why we've been successful over the years. More often than not, their answer is pretty disappointing because we have no secrets, just a set of core beliefs that have helped guide us — you can read more about our beliefs below.Their beliefsCHOOSE KINDNESSCONSISTENCY IS EVERYTHINGDETAILS MATTERINNOVATE & LEARNMAXIMUM WAGESLOW & STEADY WINSIT'S ALL ABOUT FREATOM”

Lobster was fresh, perfectly cooked & a good portion and paired with a soft and mildly sweet Texas toast. Lobster Mac n cheese was delish too. There was 2 young girls there and they were very kind and hooked me up with some free soup! Tried the clam chowder and bisque both bomb but the clam chowder reigns supreme.

Lake Anne Brew House 11424 Washington Plaza W, Reston Brewery • $$
11424 Washington Plaza W, Reston

“Little quaint brewery located at Lake Anne waterfront. When I approached the place, my first impression was that it was located in somebody's basement. But opening the door, I was pleasantly surprised with clean and neat brewery and friendly greeting by the staff at the counter behind, which had about 10 taps all brewed in-store. The weather was a dampener. Otherwise, we could have sat on the deck by the river, sipping the drinks. Beer selection ranges from lighter to IPA to dark ones. They have cider, shandy, and Kombucha options, too. Food options are limited to nice, warm pretzels and some packaged snacks, which is expected in a small local brewery like this. The good news is they have a great neighbors serving good food like Lake Anne Coffee House and Kalypso. You can get the food ordered from there or bring your own food.”
