“The best place to eat at Eden“

“We love this place! Great food! Great service! Wonderful hangout even during Covid!“

“Modern day CHEERS! BEST bar in the DMV! AMAZING PLACE! GREAT vibe/bands/staff/food/bar/service, and the most warm and welcoming staff and "regulars"! Remember the show "CHEERS"? Rename it Pete's! "Where everybody knows your name and they're always glad you came." Just add terrific live music, great acoustics, and the best dance floor around! Truly impressive across the board - friendly, welcoming and FUN. Pete, Kelly and their team are true professionals; they love their work and make sure everyone feels welcome. Pete personally goes from table to table - when he's not joining the band/playing guitar! Kelly is wonderful, kind, warm, and consistently books the BEST bands around. Bartender Bo is indeed "super cool" and funny. Servers Mario and Andrea are helpful, attentive, efficient, and keep everyone very well-fed. Chef Pete (different one) regularly impresses with tasty appetizers, entrees, salads (Greek is a fave), desserts, and more. More than worth a visit - keep going back! I'm proud to be a regular (OK - groupie/super-fan) and my nights at Pete's are true weekend highlights. Thanks to everyone at Pete's for providing night after night of great food, music, and community! I've made some lifelong friends and would recommend Pete's to anyone wanting a fun night out with great people.“

“Excellent dinner and drinks.“

“The food is delicious and the staff is friendly.“

“My wife and I had lunch here earlier today and it was awesome! My half-price blue moon burger was excellent. High quality beef that was cooked to perfection. The Wrangler grilled salmon was was not overcooked and ithad great flavor. And my cup of cowboy chili really hit the spot. 😋. We ordered Texas barbecue brisket and another burger for takeout, and I’m sure both of those will be great as well. Thanks Karen for the great service!“

“The best music, good food, great beer“

“We were looking for a good brunch with bottomless mimosas and we found this gem. Mimosas are on point. The food was good but I jusT wish they had a few more traditional brunch options. The atmosphere is lively and fun. The space is on the smaller side but I will return.“

“Whiskey selection is amazing! So many kinds to choose from, as well as a very good selection of cocktails in general. The food, tho limited options, still provided a variety, and was very tasty. Service was pretty slow, and despite having 2 gentlemen coming to our table to check on us, both would forget what we asked for so we’d wait a long time to receive it. Overall though, definitely a place I’ll return multiple times to!“

“I was in town for work and my cousin that lives in the area swore up and down that this is the best Ethiopian restaurant around. When we got there on Valentines evening, place was packed! Wait was over an hour, and our host Edilawit (great service) called us as soon as bar seats opened up…Waited quite a while for the meal(a star down for that), but meat combo was fire! Combo comes with kitfo (ethiopian beef tartar), gored-gored (cubed rare beef), Gomen be’siga (collard greens and beef) and tibs (stir fried beef) Yum!!! Meat eaters dream. I was doing a little dance in my seat after each bite. I didn’t care for the gored-gored, but the other three were best I’ve had in a long time. What made the whole experience even more enjoyable was feeling like I was truly in Ethiopia with all the Ethiopian patrons there (99%), this is also how one knows if a restaurant is truly authentic;-)
Can’t wait to go back!
Service was okay. I can tell they were great, just too busy to tend to everyone in timely manner.
I will come back:-)“

“Chicken Fried Rice from this restaurant is causing me to reevaluate Chicken Fried Rice from every other restaurant I frequent for Chicken Fried Rice. As far as my palate is concerned, they have raised the bar. And the Bangkok Beef Stew is spectacular.“

“Are you tired of eating the same few cuisine all the time? Sushi and burger and the usual? Well, venture out and try Ethiopian food.

1. Reservation: recommended if you are coming on Friday or Saturday.

2. Food: very good
- Enjara: the bread made of teff. it is very unique and it was my first time trying it and I loved it
- collared green was good
- yellow split beans were excellent options for vegetarion dish
- red lentils were unique in seasoning.

3. Drinks
they have full bar, mixed drinks and beer and wine options are available.

4. Service: very nice and welcoming

5. Extra: they serve their Ethiopian drink Tej is an aded bonus, it is nothing like I know. Technically a honey-wine.

6. They have LIVE MUSIC!
call and check with them. Artists usually come on Saturdays. Cannot wait to check them out.

Highly recommend!!“

“First time here and food was amazing. Will definitely be my go to when in the area.“

“I hosted a friend’s birthday party at ShipGarten and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, the staff was absolutely amazing. They made the entire planning process easy and stress-free, with clear, quick, and efficient communication every step of the way. They were incredibly accommodating. The food was great, my favorites were the funnel cake fries and the guacamole. The Cider was delicious!!! The venue itself is fantastic for hosting events, and I highly recommend ShipGarten for birthdays, gatherings, or any special occasion. One of the things I love most is that they also host dog-friendly events, which makes the place even more special! I had an amazing time and will absolutely be using ShipGarten for future events!!!“

“Jackson’s Mighty Fine Food & Lucky Lounge (BCI: 86) 11927 Democracy Dr, Reston, VA Step into Jackson’s and you’re stepping into a space that bridges eras - a Reston mainstay that blends classic Americana with a contemporary culinary pulse. The curved brick façade, glowing neon, terrazzo floors, and murals set a retro-modern stage that feels both familiar and fresh. The menu is as versatile as the atmosphere. The Blue Crab & Shrimp Fritters arrive golden and crisp, with a lobster-ginger sauce that balances sweet and tang. Deviled Eggs topped with pecans and sugar-cured bacon hit nostalgic notes with a twist. For mains, the Short Smoked Salmon Filet was balanced and flavorful, while the 5 Star Reserve Rib Eye stands out as the indulgent showpiece - perfectly grilled and paired with Brussels sprouts, bacon, and spiced pecans. Gluten-sensitive diners aren’t sidelined here, with Ozzie’s Brick Chicken and even flourless desserts on a dedicated menu. Save room for dessert: the Flourless Chocolate Waffle with Ice Cream was rich yet not overwhelming, and the Lemon Marshmallow Meringue Pie playful and bright. Cocktails, like the Jackson’s Mule, are well-crafted and fairly priced. Service was attentive and well-paced even in a bustling room, though weekends bring a lively (and loud) crowd. Reservations are smart for dinner; weekday lunches are easier. My only miss: the French Dip. Beautifully presented but mine arrived closer to raw than medium rare, with a lukewarm au jus. For $30, I expected more precision. That said, many online reviewers rave about it. So consider it a hit-or-miss item depending on your taste for ultra-rare beef. Whether it’s a business lunch, a date night, or a family dinner, Jackson’s delivers. A broad menu, strong service, and lively atmosphere keep it at the center of Reston dining. BCI: 86 reflects weighted and normalized ratings across multiple platforms, showing that Jackson’s consistently delivers strong experiences. The Brodbeck Confidence Index (BCI) is a proprietary algorithm that blends multi-platform ratings into a single, normalized score to give diners a clearer picture of overall consensus.“

“We dined at local provisions for Christmas Eve. The bruschetta and the caesar salad were amazing and the chicken osso bucco and spinach fettuccine were top notch. Definitely recommend 10/10“

“ONE Bar&Grill is our number one restaurant choice in Old Town Fairfax. We have visited several times and EVERY meal has been amazing! Mina the owner, and Stephanie along with all the servers are first class people. Fairfax is fortunate to have such a top notch restaurant! We look forward to many future visits.“

“I dined there third day after opening about a year ago. I knew they were going to make it - absolutely delicious food from recipes from the mother of the owners - it is well attended at dinner time, they don't take reservations. Excellent service, price and great food.“

“very good thai food! recommended“

“One of those neighborhood gems that punches way above its weight class. It deserves to be a lot more consistently packed with diners and bar customers for the quality of food and drink.

It's not an Instagram trap and located in a modest shopping center where the anchors are a Home Depot, post office, and animal hospital, so IYKYK. My only request is they bring their roast duck entree back to the menu, that was my go-to and so delicious.“

“I’m going to post the same review I gave on Yelp - this is a 5 Star place! After a day in DC, my family decided to try Soul Thai on our way home. What a terrific Experience. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was some of the best Thai we have ever had. The Pad Thai was amazing. The Hang Over Noodles (Drunken Noodles) was exceptional. And the red curry was by far the best I’ve had in the area. The ambiance was quite pleasant as well. Initially we were sat in an area that was a little noisy for our taste, but they graciously moved us to a much quieter section. The owner, Nancy came over after our meal and was very appreciative of our comments on the meal. She shared with us that she personally picks the freshest ingredients she can find to ensure the quality of the food. I would highly recommend Soul Thai to everyone. We will be coming back soon. THANK YOU, Nancy!!!!“

“Dyanna Sampson is the best! Every time I come here she’s so friendly and helpful!“

“Amazing food and also gluten free options we had the crab guac, lobster tacos and Bouillabaisse. Chris the bartender made great margaritas and martinis. Highly recommend.“

“Great atmosphere great people awesome host!!“

“Friendly service! We came in without a reservation and they were able to accommodate us quickly. The rose tteokbokki is soooo delicious!!!! Highly recommend!! The prices are reasonable and their food is delicious - definitely a new favorite in the DMV area!“

“Last night was my husband’s and my first time dining here, and it truly left an impression. One of the first things we loved was the restaurant’s commitment to giving back to the community. As soon as you walk in, there’s a sign explaining how meals are donated to local women’s shelters and how guests and staff can pay it forward by purchasing meals for those in need. Anyone facing a tough time can simply take a ticket from the wall for a prepaid meal such a thoughtful and meaningful concept.

Our server was absolutely phenomenal (I wish I remembered her name! -- She had long red wavy hair). She took the time to walk us through the menu, shared her personal favorites, and recommended several must-try tacos. Let me just say… she did not miss!

Every single bite was bursting with flavor. We tried the birria, Havana, Rus & Gus, and Peruvian chicken tacos, along with the street corn salad and veggies on the side and everything was incredible. From the food to the service to the heart behind the restaurant, this place checks all the boxes.

Safe to say we’ve found a new favorite spot and will absolutely be back.“

“Food was awesome! Atmosphere was warm! Wait staff extremely attentive. We LOVE that it is farm to table, they have their own bee hives and grow their own herbs! Menu was unique and the octopus appetizer was SO crazy good!“

“Great, go to place for consistent service and quality food!“

“First time recently at Ivy and I must say, what an experience. Food and ambiance were excellent, staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Amanda made excellent recommendations for cocktails and really brought the entire experience together. Will definitely be returning with my lady to see Amanda again. Thank you. Five stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟“

“My family has eaten here three times now and each visit was great. Excellent food, attentive staff, free and convenient parking and an awesome space. Looking forward to our next visit already!“

“The Grove in Potomac is truly a gem. What they’ve done with the space is incredible, it’s warm, inviting, and beautifully designed, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy a great meal. My go-to dishes are the chopped salad and the honey walnut salad—both are fresh, flavorful, and consistently excellent, proving that simple dishes done well can really shine. Add in the live music on Thursday nights, and The Grove becomes more than just dinner—it’s an experience. The atmosphere, food, and music come together to create an amazing evening that feels both elevated and comfortable. Whether you’re stopping by for a casual meal or planning a night out, The Grove never disappoints.“

“Great food & service. Chill atmosphere that’s great for date night or night with kids. We go to Harveys almost every week!“

“MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO THE ENTIRE STAFF AT MAGGIANO’s, SPRINGFIELD, VA! There are not enough word in the dictionary to describe my experience in Maggiano’s! From the time I make reservations through walking through the front door of the restaurant, the service, the managers, the chef, the food, to serving the BEST ITALIAN CUISINE SINCE ITALY, and cleanliness in the restrooms. Look, I live in Old Town Alexandria, VA, where there are some of the best Italian restaurants on the East Coast but those restaurants do not compare to my Maggiano’s. I seriously have to drive out of my way, Springfield, to get the Best Italian on the East Coast. It’s worth every second. The cuisine inside this Maggiano’s tastes exactly like my Italian grandparent’s cooked it. I frequent this restaurant at least once or twice a week. Thank you Mo, (manager), Jessie (server), and the rest of the staff at my Maggiano’s! Dana Neese, 12-23-2023.“

“Excellent food and great service!“

“Sloppy Mama’s catered an event for me and everyone talked about how delicious the food was. Several guests said they will be visiting the restaurant soon!“

“The BBQ pizza was dope as hell. Nice environment“
