Modern European Restaurants near Mclean, VA

“The food was AMAZING, intricate flavors that tied together beautifully. Our waiter Marco, was impeccable; personable and knowledgeable about the menus. If you’re looking for a great date spot, with the feeling of a small French town, this is the place for you!“

“Maple Ave made our anniversary dinner truly special! We got to try every single dish option and all of them were so unique and delicious (the standout for me being the risotto - wow!). Can't wait to be back in the future to try the brunch!“

“The good: we ordered a few small plates that were tasty - meat pie, a red pepper spread, olives and moussaka.

The bad: When seated, we were given an all you can eat menu at $50/person. We had been to Ambar before so we knew to ask for an al a carte menu. Otherwise the server will not say anything. I think both menus should be given.

The ugly: when paying, the 22% tip button was lit up. No way to customize a tip. Other choices were 20% and 25%.

I don't like that you are led to believe there is only one menu - a pricy one at that. Also to assume your server should get 22% is a bit much. We are generous tippers when the service is good.“

“The food at Ceibo is creative and delicious. We enjoyed eveything, sharing the hamachi, eggplant, dumplings and sea bass. The dumplings are unusual, served in a delicious broth. The emulsion served with the sea bass was amazing. The wine list is reasonable and includes great choices by the glass. The service is friendly and attentive, but not overbearing. The dining room is attractive, but because of the tile floor, once full it is a little loud, but not to the extent that you'll have difficulty hearing your dinner companion across the table. Dinner at Ceibo is a lovely way to spend an evening.“

“Best French restaurant in DC. The prix fixe menu is innovative, delicious, copious, and fairly priced. We went to celebrate a birthday and the chef really made it special. The attention to detail is wonderful and the food is majestic. Best bouillabaisse outside Marseille. 10/10 recommend and will be back, merci!“

“I was very impressed with Brabo. The drinks were very good and the food was excellent. The service was off the charts though! Exceptional service. This was for a wedding rehearsal dinner and they were very accommodating but just seemed to be naturally good at this type of event. Well done!“

“Great find! Really enjoyed dinner here on a cold day after visiting the monuments. Will try to come back during warm times as they open up their room with nice outside view/access. Enjoyed good flank steak and mushroom soup with almond pastries and great authentic coffee.“
