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

“We had an amazing experience thanks to our server Zewditu. She was professional, personable, and incredibly attentive without being intrusive. Her recommendations were excellent, and she made us feel genuinely welcome. One of the best dining experiences we’ve had! Thank you so much Zewditu.“

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

“Had an amazing dinner at The Simon. The restaurant looks beautiful with a great bar and interior. The drinks were excellent—we tried the Veranda and Lake Anne Smoke cocktails. The Carolina Gold Rice Risotto was my favorite. Great service and a wonderful experience overall.“

“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.“

“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.“

“This is for the Silver Diner in Chantilly,VA. We live a little over 2 hours away but stopped here for dinner after car shopping and we were not disappointed! My husband and son both had milkshakes and burgers and I got the meatloaf. Classic diner menu but really elevated and creative. Everything was delicious, loved the decor, service was friendly and bathrooms were clean.“

“Tuscarora Mill (Tuskies) Restaurant went above and beyond to make our son's High School Graduation lunch special (he is first-generation), even though i only booked a reservation the day before. They phoned me to check his name and printed out special menus as a keepsake and gave him a gift at the end. They were attentive and understanding that by the time he came to eat the stress and excitement of the day suddenly hit him and he was exhausted affecting his appetite. They happily got him a box to take it home without any judgement. The food was tasty and well cooked and staff helpful and kind (they even gave us a choice of table). The main dishes are on the pricier side, so it is why we chose it to mark his occasion. However, we will be back for drinks and appetisers in future.“

“We love silver diner but just returned from this location and all of us are sick. Something was not right with the food. Updated review. Silver diner reached out and took this very serious. They made things right, it’s nice to see a restaurant that truly cares about its customers and the quality of their food.“

“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.“

“Walked in and seated at the bar. I look up and see all of this allocated bourbon. I see they have chicken fried steak (my favorite). I of course order that and it surpassed all my expectations. The biscuit was nice and fluffy, the chicken fried steak was made to perfection, throw on top of that the sausage gravy and I was in literal heaven. The service is some of the best I have ever had. If you have not tried Buford’s biscuits you need to!!! I can almost guarantee everything on the menu is amazing!!“

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

“Got it. No dashes, no breaks, just smooth:

I had a great time at the Ashburn Pub. Our bartender was amazing, very friendly and attentive, and made the whole visit really enjoyable. Great service and I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“went for brunch today and it was truly amazing!!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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 👌“

“Excellent food and service“

“My favorite restaurant in Leesburg!“

“Food is good and menu has something for everyone. The best part is the staff. Anna is an awesome server. She has taken care of our family a few times and she always remembers us and our preferences. She is great with kids. The last time my daughter and I were there she had another table with a couple that had a baby. She took care of them seamlessly while juggling everyone else.“

“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!!!!!“

“The Lost Fox – One Loudoun 🍽️🌿

A perfect spot to reconnect with friends you haven’t seen in months.

Their small plates are not only delicious but truly made for sharing—every dish we tried was flavorful, well-balanced, and fun to pass around the table.

And a small detail I loved: the welcoming plants by the front door. Lush, well-nourished, and clearly cared for. It says a lot about a place when even the greenery reflects the same attention they give their guests.

Great food, warm atmosphere, and a space that invites you to linger.

Already planning to bring another group of friends here soon.

⭐️ A go-to for meaningful catch-ups and shared plates.“

“Best cappuccino around! Perfect for business meetings“

“Enjoyed the Food here Staff was Attentive and Friendly had a wonderful Dining experience the Specials are Awesome“

“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!!“

“Amazing and Good Service 👍“

“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.😘😘😘😘“

“Best deep fried mushroom and chicken wings in downtown Leesburg.“

“Great Friday open mic, cool spot with friendly staff! Chicken tenders are hand-cut and breaded, too!“

“Great place! I love it, the deli menu is gourmet. You're not getting a standard sandwich here. The quality is extraordinary, with over the top, ingredients, presentation and price is competitive. You get good bang for the buck. Try their The Works pizza! I'm so glad I live close by. :-)“

“Good relaxed atmosphere. All the food is pretty good here. There is a good variety of entrees. Shrimp tacos are good. Burgers are good. Appetizers are all good. Outside seating is great on a good weather day. Prices are decent for the quality of food you're getting.“

“Had the best Cuban Sandwich ever, Khalysha is awesome - will be back again - thank you!!!“

“Tiki buffet was great. All Aloha style dishes were fresh and perfectly cooked. Don‘t know what was best. Garlic shrimps, meatballs, beef skewers, Mango-Avocado salad…“

“The staff here is extremely polite and helpful. I was greeted by Labrell who is extremely nice and helpful. He helped me and another couple get set up with the wonder app and gave recommendations on which foods to try. I highly recommend the wonder Reston location and if you get a chance to meet Labrell he will put a smile on your face and brighten your day!!“

“Hey guys it's me again from my favorite restaurant Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant Ashburn, Virginia. The family and I are having a great time Friday night, the food was amazing, and the wine is off the charts . Thank you, Ms. Norris, and Staff.“

“Our server (Kenneth) was extremely professional and prompt with our orders despite the restaurant being under staffed at the time we were there. Great food and our waiter and the manager were very accommodating to our food orders/request. We will be back soon!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“My wife and I took my son and his wife and my daughter to Valentine's brunch at matchbox One Loudoun. We had calamari, wings and the spinach artichoke dip for the starters and they were delicious. My wife and daughter-in-law had the chicken alfredo and I had the shrimp and grits. My son and daughter had the pizzas. Overall, everyone enjoyed their meal. The service was fantastic. We're definitely coming back.“
