“Great place! My experience would not have been so amazing if it wasn’t for Sean the bartender. He is such a great person overall, and he knows exactly what he’s doing behind the bar as well as outside the bar. He is very attentive and socializes with all of his customers. He is such an outgoing person and enjoys talking to his customers. What outstanding service! You dont see many bartenders like Sean as often anymore. (HE BEST ESPRESSO MARTINI EVERR!)“

“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 nachos are 2nd to none with plenty of toppings, real cheese, melted in broiler and really tasty. For my entree I had the combo steak and chicken) fajitas which were really of tasty and plenty of food. The service is prompt and friendly. The atmosphere is exactly what you want in a Mexican restaurant. Local's Taco & Tequila thanks for offering great food and service. I'll be back soon. Cheers!“

“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!!“

For Sunday lunch we ordered:Palak Paneer - creamed spinach with garlic and chunks of paneer cheese, Murg Makhni (butter chicken), Malwani Pulav - rice with coconut spices and mixed veggies and garlic naan. Every dish had just a hint of spiciness but one can also dial up on the heat. We loved the food and the gracious service.“

The atmosphere is inline with the historical buildings in Leesburg. Everything was clean, including immaculately cleaned restrooms as well. Our server Eli was exceptional and provided top notch service. Our food came out hot and passed the eye test and taste was delicious. Crab bisque was loaded with crab meat and flavorful. Scallops with sweet potatoe pancakes were chef's kiss. My entree was lobster and shrimp pasta on angel hair noodles. Everything was very good and I will return. Last thing, I have to mention the music playing while dining was excellent.“

“You need to dine-in here on Monday because their flat iron steak is so worth the half-off price!!! It was cooked and seasoned really well and came with delicious mashed potatoes. I also recommend getting their truffle fries!! Even though I was really full I couldn't stop eating them. Also just want to note that their side of grilled asparagus only came with three so we were sort of disappointed with that portion size. The server was really kind but towards 6pm it got a lot more busy and it took a while for us to get our check. Overall this is a great place to enjoy happy hour as it has a nice interior and both indoor/outdoor seating options.“

The hang over lo mein was quite unique and they used cherry tomatoes which brought a very different flavor. Would definitely recommend this place. The place was popping on a Monday night as well!!“

“On a snowy Sunday, my fiancé and I had brunch at Farm & Fork Kitchen in Ashburn, VA. After ordering our drinks, our server Nicholas provided insight on popular appetizers. For drinks, each of us got a Mimosa. The Mimosas came in 3 flavors - Orange, Passionfruit, and Pomegranate. My fiancé got the Orange Mimosa, while I got the Passionfruit Mimosa. I liked how they were garnished with edible flowers and were fruity, bubbly, and refreshing. When our Mimosas came, we decided to share Tita's Grilled Octopus, which was served with fennel-baby arugula salad, tomatoes, capers, and olives, and fermented black garlic puree. I liked how the octopus tentacle was tender and flavorful. When our Grilled Octopus came, we placed our brunch entrees. My fiancé had F&F Dry Aged Burger with Thick Applewood Smoked Bacon, which consisted of 6oz dry aged beef patty, melted sharp cheddar cheese, caramelized onions, lettuce, and tomato on a toasted brioche bun. It was a good burger, but he felt that it lacked a sauce so he asked for dijon mustard. I had the Citrus Salad, which consisted of harvest mixed greens, ricotta salata, pomegranate, and pistachio tossed with orange champagne vinaigrette and served with orange segments. I liked the flavor of the salad. However, if I ordered this salad again, I would ask for more dressing on the side and to substitute for another kind of cheese. It didn't like how a third of my salad consisted of black and slimy greens that I had to discard.“

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