“We had a fantastic meal at Chef Geoff's last night! The Mozzarella crispy, and cobb salad was absolutely phenomenal, perfectly cooked with fresh ingredients. Our server, Ghander, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, making excellent recommendations. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, making for a wonderful evening out. We will definitely be back soon!“

“My first time here. The atmosphere was great, parking was readily available on the street and lot, and the staff was very attentive.“

“We’ve had many amazing meals at Ahso and the food is always delicious, inventive and elevated. Such a fine dining gem in Loudoun County. Cocktails are best in the area and the wine pairing dinner is lovely. Service is top notch and always friendly and knowledgeable staff.“

“Great atmosphere, fantastic service and outstanding food! Easily one of the best restaurants in Chantilly. A hidden gem!“

“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!“

“We recently celebrated our son's high school graduation with a dinner here, and everything was absolutely fabulous. Our server, George, went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. He handled our party of 16 so smoothly — it felt like we were at a table of four with how attentive and efficient he was! Every guest truly enjoyed their meal, and it was the perfect way to mark such a special occasion. Highly recommend!“

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

“Great food and the atmosphere is good. We were seated in the back room which has terrible acoustics and is quite loud when full. Was difficult to engage in conversation at our own table without yelling at eachother. Front room and bar have much softer volume when filled with patrons. Would go again.“

“Excellent meal this evening with family and friends in town. The food is fresh and cooked to order. Great service and wine as well!“

“Silver Diner is a wonderful spot! The service is consistently friendly and attentive, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. The food is fresh, flavorful, and satisfying, with plenty of options to choose from. What makes it stand out even more is the wide variety of halal and vegetarian dishes available something that’s not always easy to find at diners. It’s a great place whether you’re grabbing a casual meal or dining with family and friends who have different dietary preferences. Definitely recommend!“

“awesome spot. Great people“

“My family came to the Silver Diner midweek for breakfast to celebrate my grandmother’s 90th birthday. Badr was our server and was so friendly and attentive. We casually mentioned we were celebrating a birthday, without any expectations, and at the end of the meal they brought out a treat with a candle and got the whole restaurant to sing happy birthday. Perfect for 90! She loved it. Also, the oat milk protein pancakes were incredible!“

“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.“

“A must Excellent breakfast today, staff friendly, menu delectable, best Americano I've ever had!“

“Long post ahead, warning! I walked in around 9 pm and the hostess didn't bat an eye at my dining alone, and didn't say anything about it, which I appreciate. I was seated right away with no problems and immediately got a chance to look over the menu. I will admit, it took a little bit longer than expected for my waiter to come over, but as a lone diner I sort of expected that. I looked like I was waiting for someone, I'm sure. The look and feel of the place was very upscale, but they didn't have any problems with me walking in wearing a nerdy t-shirt. I was seated in this cute little booth for 2 with curtains on the side so, if I wanted a more private dinner, I could have it. It was a cute touch! The restaurant also offered patio dining and since it's by the creek, that would have been a downright charming experience were it not the usual Maryland summer. Despite having a bar, the restaurant was respectably quiet and low-key, making it an easy dining experience. I wasn't in the mood for something wild, and this place really hit the nail on the head. My first waiter Kevin, however, was the picture of polite helpfulness. He answered all of my questions, made some wonderful suggestions, and was incredibly pleasant to talk to. I was delighted to find out that this place takes part in DC restaurant week, so I was able to take part in that promotion. Under a suggestion from Kevin, I ordered a glass of their moscato (I wanted something light and sweet), and the wine was so good I brought home a whole bottle. Not really on them, but it does reflect their excellent selection. Dinner itself was delicious. The red pepper soup was refreshing and flavorful, without being too filling. The steak I ordered was cooked to perfection and was flavored in the perfect way to make the actual flavor of the meat shine. The potatoes were both light and fluffy, but also had the little chunks of potato that I prefer in my mashed. The best part was desert. About halfway through my appetizer, Kevin introduced my other waiter, Maddy, who took over after he went home. She was as much of a delight as he was, and made possibly the best recommendation of the night. Desert was this blackberry tart that I did not have room for but could not put down. Gooey and crumbly all at once, with a warm center that was almost caramel-y even though it was fruit based. Topped with a light cream to balance it all out, it was absolutely delicious. I will be thinking of that tart all day tomorrow. The prices on the menu were a little high, but I wouldn't go so far to say they were unreasonable. If I had wanted a cheaper option, I could have gone to any chain restaurant ever. In the grand scheme of downtown Frederick, with it's many small businesses and one of a kind dining experiences, I think this was reasonable. For reference, a lot of meals were between $20 and $30, but a good steak is almost always $30+. Despite the price, I had an exceptional dining experience, and would 100% recommend this place to anyone looking for upscale dining, without the upscale requirements.“

“Great meal at The Conche. We did the three course wine pairing and it was excellent. Salvador, our waiter was very knowledgeable and welcoming. Nice atmosphere and good vibe.“

“Excellent food and service“

“Double cabernet burger is the best!!!! Cabernet smothered patties, white cheddar cheese, caramelized onions, worcestershire mayo, tomato, potato bun with crispy fingerling potatos on the side. #foodbuster #burgerkingthings #doyoubelieve I DO!!!!!“

“Service, food, and setting are outstanding. We ate lunch there yesterday and are still talking about today. It has a great ambience about it, both inside and the outside terrace. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. We will definitely be coming back.“

“My partner and I came from Buffalo, NY to try this place after tons of reviews. TB did NOT disappoint! The Tom Tarts, mimosas, chicken biscuits, every single thing we had AND the customer service— top tier! All of it! We will absolutely be back and look forward to placing our order with you for our bridal shower! Thank you for the awesome experience!“

“We got take out for the first time from here! The roast beef with horseradish on a cheddar cheese roll is PHENOMENAL! The roast beef is fork tender!! Highly recommend 👌“

“We went to the restaurant down at the wharf….. To start, the hostess at the front was on her phone and not really paying any mind to the people walking in the door. Come to find out after that was the floor manager. Then we get sat and none of the workers talk about who is in charge of that section. We did. It get me is or silverware. The very nice bartender comes up, gets us some water and menus gets us started and finally the sever comes over to us. The server took our order and checked on us twice. When the food was brought to the table we still didn’t have silverware and had to ask the food runner. Our server had a a ten top when we arrived and she was checking on her the whole time not paying any mind to the other tables she has. It was to the point I had to go up to someone ask for water refill bc both our glasses were empty. We finish our meals that were very good and no one but the bartenders are on the floor. I see our sever walk over to the restroom, she comes out looks at us and sees that we are sitting doing nothing, then walks over to a new 10 top and disappears. It’s at thing point I now have to walk over to the bartender and get our check and they are the ones that cash us out. Thank you to the bartender that took care of us“

“Wonderful place and people. Always good food and atmosphere.“

“I wish this pub was closer to my house! The service is great! The bartenders are your servers and man they set the bar high! Majority of the food is cooked to order and I can taste the effort that is put into making sure it is just right! The atmosphere is very pub like! I walk in and feel welcome but be warned this place can be busy depending on the day of the week and time of day! The specials are great! A couple of weeks ago, we experienced 1/2 price burger night. Last week, we experienced taco Tuesday. Both of those days will be in my radar in the future. Breakfast is super yummy! Every bartender there has their own personality but they are all so friendly!!… so much so that I will not isolate my review to just one!“

“Great place! We had a large birthday party for my husband this past weekend. The food, wine, and set up indoors and outdoors made it such a special celebration. Many people said it was the best food that they have had at a party. It was amazing!“

“Great place to celebrate your milestones .“

“Great atmosphere with a savory menu and huge drink menu. They even have Buffalo Trace and the Colonel available! Check it out!“

“This was our first time so we got the Family Box. We loved the flavor combo options and the all-in-one dinner to-go box! The food had to be prepared but that is be expected for a great meal. We were not disappointed! We will be back to try some of their 1/3 lb. burgers and milkshakes!!“

“Feel good and safe with healthy food and good atmosphere . love it“

“Looking for Bottle of Red-wine and found this restaurant very close to our residence. Went up to the shop had a look at the wine display took one bottle each of red-wine Spain and Italian, the lady on the counter very polite and helpful answered sone questions and took for billing. They do have variety of meat and meat products. Can have done beer or soft drinks with food there itself. It a great place to visit. Amble space for free parking, pricing reasonable. We were looking for some venison meat, not readily available they tired to organise from a supplier, since our qty was not matching couldn’t make it.“

“Best food!!!! Good coffee and very nice people.😘😘😘😘“

“I grew up in NH and used to go to their shops up there and loved it. Even though it's a bit of a haul from Richmond, I was still glad to find they randomly had a store in Virginia. I love the steak house tips and the lime chicken. Used to get my dad their brats and burgers for special occasions too.“

“Our experience at the Cardinal restaurant was overall good. It's a restaurant inside the Hilton hotel. There is a bar with seating, lounge and restaurant seating. Gladys was our server and she took great care of us, very friendly and fast service. She checked on us several times and gave good recommendations for food. We both had the Santa Fe Chicken salad. It was very tasty and fresh, including tomatoes and avocado. The vodka martinis were good sized and delicious. Prices for food were reasonable. Drinks were more expensive than usual. I would go back.“

“I recommend this place for it's food choices, alternative non-alcohol yummy adult type drinks, awesome chefs and food service staff (everyone here was super nice and totally hospitable, especially Chris at the bar where I sat to eat), and last bit not least -the cleanliness and open design hides nothing. You can see the kitchen prep and the ambiance is lovely... bright and clean with clean HVAC! I love this place. My dinner was delicious and the black tea had lavender... delightful!“

“Social House South Riding truly exceeded my expectations! From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive. Our server was not only friendly but also knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations and making sure everything was perfect throughout our meal. The timing between courses was spot on, and drinks never went empty.

The atmosphere was vibrant yet relaxed, perfect for both a casual night out or a special gathering. You can tell the team here really cares about providing a top-tier experience. Can’t wait to come back — this place is a gem in South Riding! Also, bingo nights on Tuesday evenings are a great time for the family!“

“I would recommend no kids, but it is still kid-friendly - nice adult outing or a girl's night / even a brunch date. Great food, great drinks. Great people.“

“We love Matchbox, it's the perfect family joint for us! Good food, good beers/drinks and we have always had great service. Diego was fantastic tonight and was very accommodating to ALL our kids substitution! It's also nice that it is at One Loudoun!“
