PassionFish Reston 11960 Democracy Dr, Reston Seafood • $$$
11960 Democracy Dr, Reston

“I don’t usually leave a review about my dining experiences but I feel that I must share about the amazing dinner me and my work colleagues had at passion fish. We made reservations last minute and actually almost decided to go to Morton’s because one of our colleagues had been there many times and said the service was great and not so great at passion fish. But we decided to keep our reservation and go with the original plan. And I’m glad we did! The restaurant is beautiful with an open floor plan and just feels very welcoming. Once we sat at our table we can see that they were busy and our server came over immediately and greeted us . Daniel was very friendly and hospitable and recommended some drinks which 2 of us decided to try. It did take long for us to get our drinks and water to our table but I can see that our server was busy and had many tables besides us. What was off setting to us was that there was what appear to be 2 managers just standing by the kitchen just staring at us and our server not really offering any help to their staff . SHAME ON YOU!!!! I can see that our waiter was moving as fast as he could. Once we got our drinks it all went perfectly. Daniel recommended appetizers and entrees which we went with and there were AMAZING. I had the Red thai curry lobster and my colleague had the special which Daniel described so well . We didn’t have to ask for anything because our server was always checking on us and made us feel like he was there just for us. After our dinner I thought that the meal was over but once Daniel brought our desert menus and told us about his favorites we decided to try and share the crème brûlée and the bread pudding. OMG!!! So good. I have to say it was such an amazing experience. The food was great but the service was special and that why I will be definitely going back to dine there.”

“The pizza here is so average. The crust is massive and the pizza itself is the thinnest I’ve ever seen. There was basically no cheese or tomato sauce on it. 1/10. The mussels were great though and the sauce it came with was really tasty. The pasta was also pretty good, very heavy on the garlic.Atmosphere was amazing, waiter took very long to get the good, maybe around 40 min.Parking: Free on weekends”

Ariake Japanese Restaurant - Reston Location 12184 Glade Dr, Reston Japanese • $$
12184 Glade Dr, Reston

“Ive been there a few times. I really enjoy the food and the staff is close to perfect imo. As always dinner for 2 is between 60 and 100 bucks which is fairly affordable for the quality if sushi and the other dishes. The tofu appetizer was much better than I expected. The tofu literally fell apart ... soft on the inside but with a very nice crust outside. And the sauce was superb! I look forward to my next visit.”

Heirloom 1871 Fountain Dr Suite 300, Reston Salad • $$$
1871 Fountain Dr Suite 300, Reston

“Heirloom is a cute "speakeasy" meaning there is an unmarked door inside another restaurant. The decor and ambiance is so nice. The drinks are unique and beautiful and the food and service were great. I especially loved the gnocchi and the burrata. The appetizers are well worth the price but the entrees seem priced on the high side for the portion. I would give this place a 4.5 taking off .5 for price. I will be back again for sure. I would love a happy hour with discounted items if only 3-6.”

Matsutake Sushi and Sake Bar 1492 North Point Village Center, Reston Japanese • $$
1492 North Point Village Center, Reston

“Matsutake is sort of a hidden gem, sitting in a converted fast-food restaurant in a small mall just off Reston Parkway. There are a number of decent restaurants in such locations and this is the only one where the designers have managed to completely banish the sterile fast food feel - it's a lovely place where you can relax and enjoy. As others have said the food is very good - although at the top end of my personal price range. The cocktail menu is particularly notable, consisting of truly unique drinks invented and whimsically named by the bartender. Don't let the goofy names dissuade you - they are excellent. And if you have ever wondered whether there's such a thing as Japanese craft beer, yes there is and they have several.My only quibble is that the owners seem spread a bit thin. Sometimes the bartender is not there on weekdays. Sometimes the service is wonderful and friendly, other times not so much. So consistency is the last box they have to check. Based on about a dozen visits they have far more good nights than bad nights, but at the relatively high price point this should not be a worry for the diner.”

Barcelona Wine Bar 12023 Town Square St, Reston Spanish • $$
12023 Town Square St, Reston

“I came to Reston Town Center for my first time on a business trip and had quite a difficult time settling on a choice for dinner, given all the attractive options. I'm very glad that I settled on Barcelona. I was seated right away by a very welcoming and helpful young lady (I didn't get her name, sadly) who walked me through the menu and recommended an excellent wine pairing for my entree - Paella Salvaje with a 6oz glass of Nucerro Rioja Reserva 2018. I can't recommend it enough. Having only tried seafood paella in the past, this land-based paella was a true delight. What caught my eye on the menu was the pork belly, which absolutely melts in the mouth, and the young lady who seated me kindly ensured that I was aware that the dish consisted of a mix of meats (chicken, chorizo, and gaucho sausage) as well as rice and vegetables, as well as that the dish would take about 35 minutes to prepare - very thoughtful on her part to ensure that I understood what I was ordering. Elijah, the young gentleman who waited on me, was equally attentive, regularly checking up on me and also providing good recommendations for dessert, for which I ended up choosing the Crepas with Seasonal Fruit, which was an interesting take on crepes, folded into a sort of tricorn shape, garnished with citrus creme and topped with powdered sugar and walnuts - very yum! The portions were quite generous for both the entree and dessert, and I am looking forward to finishing off crepe #2 (which I took to-go) with my morning coffee. I can see why Barcelona was the only restaurant in the Reston Town Center that was reasonably busy at 10pm on a Sunday night as far as I could see (and I walked past quite a few restaurants on my way there). I would definitely eat here again if I returned to the area and highly recommend them.”

“I ordered green tea ice cream to go, at the end of my meal, and took it next door to my hotel to eat. Had to throw it away when I opened it because they drizzled chocolate syrup all over it. I am severely allergic to chocolate and couldn’t even touch it. Please ask before adding an ingredient not on the menu, and which wouldn’t be expected to go with green tea flavor. Otherwise good and service were very good.”

I waited for about 10 - 15 min at the bar and finally got acknowledged and then I never got a refill on my drink and had to wave someone down to get my check.

Big Buns Damn Good Burgers 1904 Reston Metro Plaza, Reston Hamburger • $$
1904 Reston Metro Plaza, Reston

“While traveling cross-country in 2002, Craig Carey couldn’t help but notice that every town he visited had a “best burger.” In fact, the regional differences of each burger he had experienced during his trip made him wonder, why was there no restaurant that served more than one style of burger? This simple question became the beginning of their journey.In 2005, Craig teamed up with Tom Racosky, an experienced Chef from Houston’s (now Hillstone), and together they started to mold their vision for Big Buns Damn Good Burgers, a modern “burger joint” with a rotating selection of delicious burgers and craft beer that felt more like a backyard party than a restaurant.On June 19th, 2007, Big Buns opened its first location in Ballston, Arlington and over the years became a neighborhood fixture. Nearly a decade later, Craig and the growing team spoke about the original vision for Big Buns and began to wonder, what would the restaurant look like today if they could do it all over again?This simple question inspired a new look and several more Big Buns locations throughout Northern Virginia (plus one location in sunny South Florida). The new restaurants were filled with bright colors, murals and bold sound. Dining rooms and patios came standard with communal tables and beer garden vibes. Newly added beer taps and frozen slushie machines fueled the party-like atmosphere.While some things changed, other things remained the exact same, like the commitment to their founding mission — to serve the world's most delicious + innovative burgers while sharing the idea of an inclusive backyard party with our amazing guests.People often want to know the reasons why we've been successful over the years. More often than not, their answer is pretty disappointing because we have no secrets, just a set of core beliefs that have helped guide us — you can read more about our beliefs below.Their beliefsCHOOSE KINDNESSCONSISTENCY IS EVERYTHINGDETAILS MATTERINNOVATE & LEARNMAXIMUM WAGESLOW & STEADY WINSIT'S ALL ABOUT FREATOM”
