The Capital Grille 12169 Fair Lakes Promenade Dr, Fairfax Fine Dining • $$$$

“My husband & I came here for lunch to celebrate a very special milestone, & the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we sat down, our waitress Emma made us feel so welcomed—she was kind, bubbly, & went above & beyond.

The manager, Sarah, even stopped by with a thoughtful gift. To top it all off, they surprised us with a complimentary dessert that was absolutely delicious.

We opted to do the small plates (app & entree for $28). Husband got the clam chowder & steak frites with the steak cooked rare. They knocked it out of the park with the cook. I got the lobster bisque & salmon. Again, superb! My only critique is that the chowder & bisque were both too thick.

We’ve dined at many restaurants over the years, including Michelin-starred establishments & other Capital Grille locations, but the service we received here was beyond anything we’ve ever experienced before. Every detail was thoughtful, genuine, & made us feel so special.

This location has set a new standard for hospitality, & we can’t wait to return. Big thank you to Emma & Sarah for an experience we'll forever cherish.”

California Shabu Shabu 3081 Nutley St, Fairfax Japanese • $$

“Perfect Spot for Friends & Family!

Absolutely loved this place! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was warm, inviting, and super fun — perfect for both family gatherings and catching up with friends. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, walking us through the menu and making sure we had everything we needed.

The shabu shabu was top-notch — fresh ingredients, high-quality meats, and rich, flavorful broths. They had a great selection of veggies, sauces, and dipping options that let everyone at the table customize their meal just the way they liked it. We especially loved the wagyu and the spicy miso broth — so good!

The restaurant was clean, well-lit, and had a great energy without being too loud. Plenty of space for groups, and the table setup made it really easy to enjoy the cooking experience together.

We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a cozy, interactive dining experience that brings people together!”

Genki Izakaya 元気 9508 Fairfax Blvd, Fairfax Japanese • $$

“Born and raised in Japan, I am pretty judgmental when it comes to any establishments claiming to be “Japanese.”

I had miso soup ($4), Toro Bowl ($28) and hot tea ($3).

Toro Bowl: I was not impressed, but definitely this dish was not disgusting like some other fake Japanese restaurants serve. Ikura wasn’t the freshest, and the three sheets of nori (sea weeds) were stale (thus making it chewy rather than crispy) and tasted very cheep. Overall it was “Okay”

Miso soup: I was pleasantly surprised with how they have used decent amount of dashi in their soup (like how they do it in Japan), giving it an authentic twist. The soup was flavorful and I enjoyed it.

Tea: this was another pleasant surprise to receive what it mocked as Genmai-cha (tea with roasted rice bits in it). Well done.

From what you get in DMV area, I’d give a 4 stars or even 4.5 stars. As an overall “Japanese” izakaya, I’d put this in 3 stars range.”

The rolls are beautifully presented with vibrant toppings like tuna, salmon, mango, and even jalapeños, giving each bite a unique twist. The sashimi platter was also generous and incredibly fresh, with melt-in-your-mouth quality.

One thing to note is that the restaurant space is on the smaller side, so it can feel a bit tight when it’s busy. However, the cozy atmosphere adds to the charm, making it a nice spot for casual dining or a quick sushi fix.

Service was attentive and friendly, which made the experience pleasant overall. Despite the limited space, the quality of food and presentation makes Sushi Cho absolutely worth a visit.”

“This place is kind of small hole in the wall. Seats about 14 or so outside and not many more people inside. Nice menu that's not too large or too small. Some Tex-Mex menus have way too many choices. The starter tortilla chips and salsa were top notch. Service all around was excellent. I had the Chicken Chimichanga and it was one of the best I've ever had. It came with rice and refried beans as well as pico, sour cream, guacamole, and lettuce. Everything was delicious, cooked perfectly, and reasonably priced.

Laredo Taco Company 4647 West Ox Rd, Fairfax Tex-Mex • $

“In Rio Grande Valley border towns, this South Texas chain is famous for its breakfast tacos with homemade tortillas. For maximum effect, go first thing in the morning when everything is fresh, order at the counter, and ask for your tacos con frijoles, papas (potato), y huevos (3 egg options were w/ chorizo, sausage and “a la Mexicana”). They’ll smear a spoonful of frijoles on the tortilla and then load it up with everything else. I’d also get salsa and pico de gallo, but on the side so it doesn’t get everything soggy. 2 tacos are enough for most people. They’re pretty big. I’d say the ones in the RGV are still on another level, but this is still doubtless the best breakfast tacos in NoVA, and I’m glad to have them when I’m craving something authentic. I was stunned when I realized this staple of my hometown had several locations here. They should probably limit their hours to early afternoon to focus on breakfast / lunch until they grow enough business out here. I think once it catches on, it’ll be yet another DC-area place with long lines.”

“A Hidden Gem for Coffee and Sandwich Lovers De Clieu, a charming coffee and sandwich shop tucked away in the heart of Old Town Fairfax has quickly become my go-to spot for a perfect cup of coffee and sandwich when I'm in the area. Coffee and Organic Teas: (5/5) De Clieu's coffee, Organic Tea and drink options are nothing short of exceptional. Their baristas are clearly passionate about their craft, as every cup is brewed with precision and care, from their Drip, French Press, Chemex pour overs and Organic Teas. The espresso is rich and full-bodied, and they offer premium roasted beans and brewing methods to cater to every palate. I've tried their lattes, cappuccinos, teas, and cold brews, and I've never been disappointed. Whether you're a coffee connoisseur or just enjoy a good cold brew, De Clieu has you covered. Sandwiches Plus: (5/5) The sandwiches, bakery items, and Gelato at De Clieu are a delightful surprise. Made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, each bite is a burst of flavor. I've worked my way through much of their menu, and each creation has been more delicious than the last. From the Spicy Swine and Honey Bread to the inventive vegetarian options, there's something for everyone. The bread is always perfectly toasted, and the combinations of flavors and textures are superb. Overall Impression: (5/5) De Clieu is a coffee and sandwich shop that embodies all the qualities I look for in a great café. It's a place that combines exceptional coffee, delectable sandwiches, sides, and a welcoming atmosphere, all at a price that won't leave your wallet empty. Whether you're a regular looking for your daily caffeine fix or a traveler seeking a local gem, Delieu is the answer. It's clear the owner takes pride in what they do and how they train their team, and it shows in every aspect of their operation. I can't recommend this place highly enough, and I'm excited to see it thrive and become a beloved part of the community. There are ample parking options available in the vicinity as well.”

Their Turkish breakfast is the best in town—authentic, generous, and full of flavor. The baklava is made fresh daily, and their nearly 30 muffin flavors are something you won’t find anywhere else. I especially love the poğaça with ribeye and mozzarella—it’s deliciously unique.

The owners, Atilla and Ozlem, have poured their hearts into this place. You can feel it in every detail—from the quality ingredients to the carefully curated dessert case filled with house-made éclairs, profiteroles, and Turkish rice pudding.

It’s more than a bakery. It’s a cultural experience and a community gathering spot. I’m proud to support Fairfax Bakery and highly recommend it to anyone looking for something fresh, flavorful, and truly special.”

“It’s pronounced Playa not Player ! Lol
Latin for bowl. Just saying that because I heard someone mispronounce it. Look I’m a big fan Açai bowls and smoothies rather than ice cream. I definitely feel better as a dad giving them organic açai antioxidants and has such a cool story from its beach side start up.
Seating is limited however, if you do happen to score a outside table with a huge umbrella, you’ll be lucky to people watch during the busy mosaic weekends. Additionally, I’ve had the cold brew and it’s pretty strong nothing fancy just strong caffeine.”

The grilled clams are a must-try — smoky, juicy, and topped with a savory mix of scallions, peanuts, and buttery fish sauce. Fast, friendly service and a clean, welcoming space make it even better. Highly recommend!”

I get the chocolate cone with sprinkled peanuts and two scoops of coffee ice-cream - and it’s the best. Nothing hits the spot quite like it. Staff are super friendly. From time to time I may try another flavor. The coffee chip is good too. But I usually revert back. Moments of happiness seem priceless.”

From the moment you step inside, you're embraced by a warm, welcoming atmosphere and the aromatic allure of authentic Thai cuisine. The food is a culinary masterpiece, each dish a symphony of flavors harmoniously blending together. The Pad Thai is a revelation, with perfectly cooked noodles and a balance of sweet, sour, and savory that dances on the palate. The Green Curry is another star, its richness and depth of flavor truly showcasing the art of Thai cooking. Service here is impeccable. The staff are attentive, friendly, and go above and beyond to ensure your dining experience is nothing short of perfect. They are knowledgeable about the menu and more than willing to accommodate any dietary preferences or modifications. But what truly sets Courtside Thai Cuisine apart is the ambiance. The decor is elegant yet cozy, providing an ideal backdrop for both casual dinners and special occasions. It's a place where every meal feels like a celebration. In a world full of dining options, Courtside Thai Cuisine stands out as a beacon of culinary excellence and hospitality.

The staff is very friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere is serene with great music. The music volume is perfect too so you can still socialize without having to shout. My favorite amenities though, are the self-pour feature, the diversity of beer flavors, and the ease of paying. The taps are really easy to use and to keep track of how much your bar tab is accumulating. On top of that, you don't have to wait at all for a refill- just head on up to the tap and pour, amazing system! The Irish Red beer was my go-to, and it was very pleasing to see that on tap when it's not actually Oktoberfest season, (I can never seem to find it most times of the year). We will all definitely be back, as well as looking forward to visiting their Lorton location! Keep up the great work and the awesome selection of beers, mad props!”

The fresh ingredients that clearly went into the dishes is respectable. Sunny-side instead of scrambled eggs with the fried rice is novel and scrumptious. The presentation of the pot stickers as a giant fried pancake you must turn over or crack apart like a savory Crème brûlée to access the dumpling goodness underneath was fun, if a bit greasy. The beer selection is outrageously good. Highly recommend. And get some beer to go! Clothing and glassware merch in supply, but no stickers.”

I docked a star because one of our beef cuts seemed to have freezer burn. Would give it 4.5 stars if I could. Everything else was great and the price for the buffet is comparable to most such places. We got the pork bone soup and the lady obliged us by packing the leftover soup. Like I said - great service!

This place used to be called 99° or 100° - I can't remember now. New management has updated the menu as now they serve more than just shabu shabu.oir second cost here.

“I want to take this opportunity to share our experience at your restaurant, Bonefish, on Friday, August 29. Our visit for lunch was a great success. Our group of 7 senior women were served by wait staff who were pleasant and patient as we gathered and took our time ordering their delicious salads. They had a nice selection of salad and soup. We all enjoyed our meals. We were also celebrating 2 birthdays. They offered the birthday girls a selection of deserts that were free for the two celebrants. We all sang Happy Birthday and even our waiter joined us We will certainly plan to visit again soon.in singing!”

“We went for Sunday brunch yesterday and our server was CJ. The bottomless mimosas were served in coup glasses and were plentiful (limit of 5 per person 👍🏻). I had the Huevos Rancheros which were served with breakfast potatoes and the order was big enough to share. The service was quick and thoughtful. I’d definitely recommend Drapers for Sunday brunch. The lunch and dinner menu looked interesting and I’m sure we’ll be back. A corner jewel in old towne Fairfax.”

She was awesome, super friendly and likeable. Didn't have to wait too long for food, clearly it was made fresh to order because when i got it (chicken ceaser wrap with fries) it was AMAZING. the fries were so perfectly crisp and warm, the wrap was balanced, warm, but not too warm because of the lettuce. Cannot rave enough about my experience, and the food. I'm looking forward to when i can make it back for another meal!”

This is a must-try place, especially if you've never been before! It was our first time, and we absolutely loved it! The only issue was the size of the fries; they are on the smaller side, but that did not affect the taste. We just wished they were bigger.”

This is only one of two Pho restaurants in the country that has pipping hot stone bowl, the other one is 3K miles away. Try the vegetable Pho, there is nothing like it anywhere, absolutely amazing, you need to request it. The chicken Pho is the best you will find. Everything on the menu is great.

Ugly dumplings, red chicken soup dumplings OMG SO GOOD! Green beans ugly style omg I can eat a whole bowl of that by myself. Braised baby back ribs with a side of rice omg yummmm! Foods we didn’t like Chicken and broccoli didn’t taste authentic, chicken stir fried noodles no taste, steamed buns there was a smell to it and couldn’t taste better and the Mongolian beef. We realized food isn’t the best but the dumplings are the way to go. Since they recently opened we’ve been back 5 times lol. Definitely a must try! Drinks taste good as well.”

Today when we were walking by, Miguel popped his head and invited us to come and try the fish grill, and thank God we did, the food was delicious! Everything tasted fresh! I got the giant shrimp with rice and coleslaw with a side of garlic butter and it was so good, I would definitely get that again. My man got the salmon burrito bowl and he really enjoyed it! I would highly recommend the fish grill, thank you Miguel for inviting us in.”

“Tasty tortillas. Had my usual tacos, carne asada & carnitas. Nice open, well spaced seating area. Even has a small bar. The edges of meats were burnt, though. In my opinion, the meats are better at the shop across the street from George Mason University, where cooking is done in front of customers & has perfectly cooked beef/pork, with bigger protions... but that location is small & cramped. So it's a choice.”
