“I hosted my Brother’s 40th birthday party this past weekend at Carlyle! I planned this party from the Hampton Roads area, which is not local. Morgan and her team were there to answer questions for me and made this the BEST experience! I had tried booking other places for this event and everything was SO complicated or expensive. I’m so thankful for the previous people who left reviews about the food because it made Carlyle an EASY choice !The atmosphere here is ELEGANT and WARM at the same time. I honestly couldn’t have chosen a better restaurant for this party. The party guests loved their meals ! (Please try the Crab CAKES OMGOSH!!)We CLEANED our plates ! Do you hear me?!!! The food was SO good! Everyone had smiles on their faces and the service was EXCELLENT! Our servers were so respectful and responsive — we had a great time ! The good people at Carlyle made my Brother’s 40th birthday dinner one to remember! Thank you Morgan and Josue for working with me and making it easy ! I WILL be back !! ❤️❤️❤️“
“Tasty food. Atmosphere and service are fine to good. Wish they'd add a little more variety to their beer selection. It's great if you like unfiltered, citrusy IPA's. Adding in a couple more pilsners/kolch's/stouts would be appreciated. Some comfy bar stools would be nice, too, instead of hard, wooden, backless ones.“
“As a lover of expertly crafted cocktails, I am incredibly grateful for Salt. In my humble opinion, North Arlington is lacking when it comes to craft cocktails so I'm happy Salt decided to fill this need. The cherry on top is the tasty food to go with the tasty cocktails!“
“We had a blast here last night at trivia! It was five rounds of 11 questions and I loved how they covered many different topics. I also appreciated using a phone app to play, which definitely helped with hearing questions when the restaurant was packed and quite lively. For food, I got the blackened mahi-mahi and brussels sprouts. The mahi-mahi was scrumptious, tender and smoky from the grill. It was served over yummy cilantro rice and creamy/zesty lemon butter sauce. Needless to say, I wiped my plate clean! The brussels sprouts was also stellar - everything crispy in it from bacon to shallots to the actual brussel sprouts. It was served with bleu cheese, which rounded out the crispy heartiness with just the right amount of funk! We also sampled through a few of the delicious beers on tap from kolsches to sours. Service was prompt and great, too. What a fun time - hope to come back soon!“
“My friend had her baby shower upstairs, and I fell in love with the place. I’d driven by it many times, but had never gone in. I was surprised by how cozy and welcoming the space was. There was a ton of meter parking right out front. The woman who helped us plan the shower was Kelly. She is AMAZING! She was sooo helpful and very professional. I made sure to save her info for our next event! Wonderful experience all around.“
“My son and I have been coming to the Mosaic location weekly since the beginning of the pandemic and have never been disappointed! The service is always extraordinary. Brenda is truly one of the best servers and Marina is always backing everyone up and making sure the customers are truly happy! The prices are very good and the food incredible. We will continue to make this a regular part of our lives!Thank you everyone!“
“This restaurant delivers what matters most. Great food and great service. The food is fresh and flavorful. There is a wide selection! I have just opted to go down the menu everything is good. And the front end staff is patient, friendly and aims to please. Well worth the ride for excellent take-out!“
“A solid bar to stop in to get a few drinks and some bar food. The day we dropped in, we were hoping for more intricate cocktails, but we couldn't complain overall. The Old Fashioned was a solid middle of the road OF -- didn't absolutely love it, but also didn't absolutely hate it.“
“My family and I go to Circa go all the time and were never left disappointed. Food is great and so is the staff. When we went last night it was busy, as usual, which was fine because they’re usually very good at dealing with that however this time it was different. Our server was not attentive and changed halfway through our meal. However we still didn’t receive attentive service. Our server seemed like they were in a rush and wouldn’t come for long periods of time. Other than that, it was still a good meal.“
“This is the first review I have written for a restaurant because I had never received such excellent service.I ordered an egg white omelette with ham and cheese. The omelette was okay. The service was top-notch . My server Sylvana was great! I drank a lot of water, and she kept my glass full. My food was correct and FAST.Speed: checkAccuracy: checkFriendliness: checkI do have one piece of constructive criticism: clean the floors more.Parking: You need to get your ticket validated.“

“Great spot for brunch in Arlington. The GPB waffle was the perfect waffle and the American Breakfast was a great accompaniment to the waffle. The cheesy hash browns are so unique and tasty. The food came out quickly and the service was great. Great spot for an Easter brunch.“
“Family owned business that treats their customers like family. Their service was very fast and professional. I highly reccomend the chicken fajita omelet and the Bulgogi Bi-Bim-Bap! Also their macadamia nut cookie parred with their freshly brewed coffee is a combo that will have you coming back. Lastly, the atmosphere is quiet serene. Great place to sip on coffee and read.“
“Metro 29 is a good place to experience the classic American diner experience. Lots of options for breakfast, plenty of space to seat (get a booth!) and attentive service (they will make sure there's always plenty of coffee in your mug!). Extra kudos for the Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck pancakes, my son just loves them. Parking is easy at the back of the buildingParking: Park at the back of the building, plenty of spaceKid-friendliness: Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse shaped pancakes are the kids favorites“
“The menu lacks anything interesting or unusual. It's standard fare that is prepared well and delivered in reasonable portions. We had a group of six, and everything came out at the same time, with nothing giving an appearance of having been sitting too long while waiting for the rest of the order. The service was attentive without being overbearing.“
“Really delicious, cat-themed restaurant with the same vibe as its counterpart, Lost Dog Cafe. My burger was juicy and flavorful and the cocktails were spectacular — pricey — but super fresh and creative.Vegetarian options: All burgers come with a vegetarian option and most of the other sandwiches are riffs on a grilled cheese.Parking: There is a small parking lot out front, but the spaces are a bit tight.“
“This place is outstanding! Amazing atmosphere, delicious food, reasonable price, incredible beer selection! The bar tender was very knowledgeable and helps us pick out what we loved. We had salads and pizza. Very fresh ingredients. And we got to help some lucky local dogs and cats. A win!“
“I came to DC from Utah in the fall 2023 semester for a Senate internship. I lived in Crystal City and am a massive sports fan. I was at this place a minimum of three times a week for NFL football games, sometimes more for college games. The staff was amazing and very helpful. They brought my food out quickly each time. The staff even put on my favorite college basketball team when I asked (Utah Valley University Wolverines). Amazing staff, good food, and the best atmosphere at a bar I've ever seen. This place is one of the things I miss about my time in DC the most, and I will definitely be coming back here for more games when I return to DC.“
“We visited from out of town and had to stop at Salt Line twice! Joe and Mariel were absolutely fantastic servers and so personable. The oysters were next level, and the pasta dish top tier. 5/5 stars both visits! The manager not only visited our table, but remembered us on our next visit! A must stop!!“
“Had the opportunity to experience this dining venue for a Sunday brunch,recommended by family member. The brunch menu at first was a little confusing as to what our quantity of options we were entitled to, once that was clarified enjoyed a delightful meal of fried chicken & waffles -brussel sprouts-deviled eggs -berry mixed topping pancakes -crab cakes and a mimosa. The only thing that wasn’t too pleasant was the waiter assigned to us -he didn’t seem very customer friendly-I don’t even think he introduced himself. However his slack was taken up by a wonderful young lady by the name of Allie -very friendly -took the time to explain the menu -when an ordering mistake had been made -corrected it and provided a alternative, she made the experience so much better -excellent customer service“
“Stopped in for a proper pint at the bar on Saturday afternoon and took advantage of their Happy House food menu -- the calamari was fabulous! Perfectly done (NOT rubbery) and love the added bite of the chili peppers. Also got a simple red pizza - great crust and loved the addition of fontina. Well done all around!“
“Took my son there to celebrate his birthday. Reservations were easy. Staff was AMAZING! The food was excellent, from the frog legs to the Wagyu burgers to the steaks, not a disappointed person at all. Espresso martinis were good as well. I enjoyed the wine selection. The restaurant is also located in a great location. I’ve already recommended to many people.“
“We went there on a recent trip to DC. Amine was out waiter/bartender. He made a great Old Fashion. The service and food were good. A good selection of sharable apps. We sat in the bar area where there were ample tvs to watch March madness.“
“We were pleasantly surprised that it was easy to find a brunch table on a Saturday. Our server Chelsea was polite and helpful, even offering us a complimentary dessert, as they seemed a bit short- staffed. The portions were excellent and we very much enjoyed our meal. We'll be back! “
“The Cowboy Cafe is a fantastic spot for both dinner and Happy Hour. I visited on a Tuesday and was pleasantly surprised to discover their half-price burger deal, making it an even more enjoyable experience. This local Arlington hangout offers a welcoming atmosphere and delicious food, especially their burgers which are a must-try. The combination of tasty dishes and great deals make Cowboy Cafe a popular choice for locals looking to unwind and have a good time. Whether you're stopping by for a casual meal or to enjoy their Happy Hour specials, Cowboy Cafe is sure to leave you satisfied and eager to return for more. If you're in the area, don't miss the opportunity to check out this gem of a place--it's a definite winner in my book!“
“Had a great time hanging out with friends last weekend. Bronson is typically a popular location; so I was glad we were able to find a table. They do take reservations; so something to consider if you are planning a visit. We ordered a couple Dunkel beers, giant stuffed pretzel with jalapeños, tater tots, fries, and sausages for the table. One of my friends also ordered a salad, which she said was good. We enjoyed all the food and beer. We also played a couple board games, which they have several stacks of near the kitchen. I'd definitely come back. Thanks for a great experience!“
“If You Want the French Toast... Call in AdvanceDon't get me wrong, I love Busboys and Poets but my most recent visits have been lackluster. The vibe is still good. The food is still good but the service has come to a screeching halt at least at this location.I was recently there on a Friday night and then Sunday morning. I recommended it to two different guests we were hosting because they wanted to meet my mother.The food was excellent on Friday (if you haven't had the catfish that's the dish to get) but the service was super slow. Yes, the place was busy but I was surprised because I haven't experienced this before at Busboys and Poets.On Sunday we arrived at 10AM. My mother ordered her usual Sweet Potato Hash (still need to try it sometime). The rest of us in our party ordered the french toast. I had heard it was good. The waiter then informed us that they were out of french toast. We looked at him like he must've been confused. It was only 10AM. My mother even said, "How are you out of french toast? It's bread and eggs. Harris Teeter is across the street." We all laughed and continued to joke the waiter when he came back to check in on us and asked if we needed anything else. "Yeah, some french toast." Needless to say, he got a good tip.“
“Excellent food, up-to-date surroundings. Tupelo Honey's biscuits and blueberry jam are a savory & sweet combination that is the perfect start to the meal. I had the shrimp po' boy. The shrimp are doused in a chipotle sauce that had just enough heat to elevate the experience above the norm. I also tasted the pork shoulder and immediately regretted not getting it instead!“
“At least based on my lunch experience, I'm surprised WJ's Tavern is rated so lowly. I loved the salmon wrap...and they even asked how we wanted our salmon done (and mine was perfect medium-rare which is my usual test of the kitchen's attention to detail). It's a great wrap with wasabi slaw poised against the strong salmon flavor with other delicious bits thrown in...but lunch also includes a wide choice of excellent sides (mine was the fine side salad and my companion's elote corn was great, too, served on two short corn cobs). Service was friendly, if a tad slow (it was an off-hour lunch) and the tavern is a cozy place to hang out. There's a great central TV bar with some hunky slinging drinks and working hard. The sour cherry pie and ice cream for dessert was also delicious. Cheap, no; but I'd go back for that salmon wrap ASAP.“
“This restaurant located on the second floor inside the Hyatt Regency was pretty good for a hotel restaurant. The breakfast buffet (with an omelette station!) had a lot of options and there along with a menu if you didn't want the buffet. The service was very good and the staff was friendly and attentive. I would recommend eating here if you're staying in the hotel!“
“Copperwood is great. The food is good. They usually have good beer and wines to choose from. Go during happy hour and sit in the bar area. Other than that the food is overpriced as is much of Shirlington, probably why so many restaurants close.“
“Well “The Hood” is out and about as Spring is getting officially closer. Had lunch here and it was ok. Good bar atmosphere loud and exciting. Food: good had a la Cubana (possible spelling error). The gang with me had various food. Sorry for no pictures the hood was hungry. Service: good people checking on you as you go. We apparently threw the server off when she asked at the end if it was separate checks and we said yes. She had some difficulty with it 1/2 hr later she finally got the bills right. Atmosphere: if you like the bar type scene a great place to go. Well as the weather gets better The Hood will be out and about again. I’m not here to judge just looking for great food awesome service and a great atmosphere. Remember to be good to each other because you never know when The Hood will be in. Be kind to each other and keep adventuring!“
“Fast & friendly service and some very nice pasta for lunch... Nicer than I expected from the decor which was a bit old & tired - I probably wouldn't have tried the place, if it weren't for seeing other good reviews! Could stand to turn the AC down a bit “
“I live close by and was craving for a good burger for dinner. I decided to try out ted’s because I never tried bison meat before. It was spectacular especially the service because I was not wearing the best clothes since it was a last minute decision and the restaurant was about to close. I was expecting a not-so good service because of it but Fred was amazing. He told us about the history of the menu and I came back the next day.“
“This is a great authentic Philly cheese steak place. The mozzarella is absolutely to dieee for. You better finish it all at once because it does not taste the same after, but you won’t have a choice you’ll want to finish it lol. They have all day breakfast well. Everything from here is good especially the kool aid and the cheese steaksKid-friendliness: Booths and arcade game“
“Do you like wings? Of course you do. Otherwise why the hell are you looking at eating at a place that basically is a wing place? Are the wings good? Yes. They are good. But the sauces and rubs are freaking delicious and has something for everyone. If you can't find a wing sauce that you like it probably says more about your mental stability than it does about these wings. Maybe you should take some stock of your own well being?Order some sauces. Some beers. Enjoy wings. Be a better human.Also? It's a dive bar atmosphere with people that love what they do. Enjoy that too.You're welcome.“
“Steak with mushrooms was excellent, added beer battered vegetables, marvelous. Ruth was an excellent and very pleasant server, offering excellent information on menu choices. The drinks, i think a lemonade margaritas, and espresso martini, excellent. Overall, everyone was great. Nice buffet breakfast but I didn't get the nice gentleman's name who helped us mornings Aug 18-19, 2023.Parking: We rode hotel shuttle so not sure if parking garage is pay or not“
“Dined on August 13, 2023. Best bowl of French Onion soup. With the first sip of broth I was in heaven. Think Anton Ego tasting the dish in Ratatouille. Fillet Mignon and everything else was perfect. Wonderful dining on the terrace with the fountain for ambiance.“
“We wanted a dinner close to the city but not too far out and found this gem, care of Google maps. Everything looked great and was great. I'll definitely come back here for food. The atmosphere is a cool neighborhood pub/sports bar/jazz club which is unique but cool.“
“Absolutely delicious and many gluten free options (all 3 of the BBQ sauces are GF). I had the meat sampler with sides of collard greens and Mexican street corn plus deviled eggs as a starter - everything was amazing!Dietary restrictions: Lots of gluten free options!“
