“My wife was craving Thai food for her 45th birthday and we were wowed by the food. The vegetable fried rice was my favorite, but my son loved the chicken satay and wonton soup, and you can never go wrong with panang chicken. Will definitely be coming back for more!“

“The food and wine are always outstanding and the hospitality is inviting, warm, and professional. Echelon is a staple for us when visiting RVA. Their Leesburg location is just as wonderful. Highly recommended for wine and appetizers if you’re on the go, or a relaxing and leisurely dinner if you have time to dine. We’ve tried an array of menu items and have swooned over each one. Book a table or grab a seat at the bar and try for yourself!“

“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!!!!!“

“I’m beginning my study abroad journey to Spain, and during my layover, I had the loveliest experience at Vino Volo thanks to James! He was incredibly personable, making us feel so welcomed from the start. James thoughtfully recommended Spain wine flights (the perfect way to kick off our trip!) and even took the cutest photos of me and my study abroad mate, Denisse. It truly felt like a chic, cozy send-off before our big adventure. Thank you, James, for creating such a memorable start to our travels — you made our layover feel like a celebration!“

“Absolutely amazing dinner. Thanks for making our special day even better with your elevated food and exceptional service.“

“Kind staff and great food!“

“1st time here today. Excellent food and excellent wine and beer. We were here for my fiancé friend going away event.“

“We were completely and pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food. They were a bit understaffed but that seems to be a challenge many restaurants are experiencing. Our server was attentive and friendly. The salmon was delicious, the Wagyu burger as well. The wings were flavorful but not overwhelmingly hot. But the highlight were the French fries. Probably the best we’ve had.“

“We had to pick someone up from Dulles Airport in virginia and had about an hour to spare. We Googled nearby options and found this place just five minutes away from the airport. We ordered mutton masala with rice, plain naan, and a chikoo shake. We also packed a butter paneer masala, which was great. The food was excellent overall. The chikoo shake could have been a little less sweet, but otherwise it’s a great spot for Indian food. Those who need to know, this place is big, clean and has a good bar too.“

“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.“

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

“Delicious food. We wanted a bite after a hike in the Great Falls area and this sounded like a good place to try. There was plenty of free parking and we were seated immediately upon going in. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, with a very relaxed atmosphere. Everything on the menu looked so good so we started off with some appetizers, both of which were delicious. I loved the Shirazi salad, which was delicious and refreshing. The kashk e bademjoon had a great flavor profile and went wonderfully with the pita bread. For my meal I had the chicken shawarma, which was probably one of the best I’ve had. The chicken was so moist and flavorful, with just a hint of cardamom. My wife had the apple orchard salad, and son the gyro Greek salad. This place is a must-try.“

“I love the tapas. They have great Spanish menus and some vegan choices too! Must try: cauliflower and eggplant, and beets for vegans. Spanish: flan is so good, patatas bravas, salmon with kale, Espanola torta, beef empanada.“

“✨ A huge thank you to Travinia Italian Kitchen Leesburg for catering our event yesterday! ✨ From the moment the food arrived, we knew we were in for something special. Every dish was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service and setup were equally impressive, with everything handled seamlessly and professionally. We’re so grateful for your team’s attention to detail and hospitality. You helped make our event not only successful but memorable. Highly recommend Travinia for anyone looking to elevate their next gathering!“

“Fantastic hidden gem that delivers amazing wines at tremendous prices! They always have any wine or expertise I need. This is my absolute favorite place to dine out or pick up a bottle for later.“

“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 food and service. Definitely worth your time and money“

“The first time I went to Jasmine I had lunch alone. The food was delicious. Yesterday I returned with my husband. We had steamed dumplings and two seafood entrees. The food was high quality and cooked to perfection. Great menu! Wonderful staff! Five stars...“

“I recently hosted a rehearsal dinner at the Party Bar and couldn’t have been happier with the experience. I opted for a bar buyout to make it a private event, and Dana, the events manager, was fantastic to work with. She was incredibly detailed, communicative, and accommodating—especially helpful since I was planning from out of town. On the night of the dinner, our bartenders—Carter, Tyler, and Chris—were outstanding. Not only did they provide excellent service, but they also ensured the buffet stayed stocked throughout the entire three-hour event. Carter even set out to-go boxes at the end of the night so guests could take leftovers home, ensuring nothing went to waste. Everyone raved about the food, and the space was more spacious than I expected. By rearranging the tables, I was able to comfortably seat all 65 guests. I highly recommend the Party Bar for any event or just a fun night out with great food, drinks, and service!“

“Corsica in Reston never disappoints. The atmosphere is warm and inviting — low lighting, a wall of books, and a rustic feel. The staff is friendly and personable, and the food is consistently outstanding.

Shoutout to Antonio, the bartender. His drinks are always on point, food recommendations are spot on, and he’ll keep you up to date with anything new on the menu and at the restaurant. He’s always bringing good vibes to the bar and is always up for a joke. Definitely recommend you see him and try a drink when you visit!

Overall, Corsica is a must-visit for anyone looking for amazing food, great cocktails, and awesome service.“

“Parallel has become one of our favorite go-to spots for happy hour. The atmosphere is relaxed yet lively. We absolutely love the duck fat fries. They are crisp and thick cut. The fried pickles are also very good and if the kids are with us we get the chicken and waffles and kids mac n cheese. It's an amazing gourmet mac n cheese and the fresh fruit side is picture perfect every time.

Montepulciano has become one of our favorite wines. I also enjoy the pinot grigio and sauvignon blanc in the summer. We weren't fans of the chardonnay, but the rest of the wines more than make up for it. Great old fashioned - well balanced.

Service has always been good. All the servers are friendly and knowledgeable about the drink and food menus. We love the atmosphere as well. Very rustic and down to earth.“

“Great bar atmosphere and bartenders.“

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

“We live out of the area but we drive to Reston for special occasion dinners. It was a perfect dinner. Our servers, Henry and Sasha, did an amazing job. Both are extremely professional and personable. We also had a nice meeting with the manager, Sierra. She is very attentive and highly professional. It is obvious all the staff at Ruth's Chris love their job. And the food....outstanding!“

“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.“

“Fun start to our vacation! Italy 🇮🇹 bound“
