    We had a wonderful experience last night at Founding Farmers at Reston Station. We were greeted warmly when we arrived for our dinner reservation and were seated promptly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The dining room was eclectic, beautiful and comfortable, and the servers were attentive and friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food was delicious. I ordered the Classic Chicken Milanese. The cucumber lemon vinaigrette gave the chicken cutlets amazing flavor. The arugula salad was a perfect accompaniment. I would absolutely recommend it. My wife ordered the Hot Honey Fried Chicken, and she said she enjoyed her meal as well. (The grits were not quite warm enough, though.) This is the second time we've been to Founding Farmers, we we enjoyed it both times. Will definitely be back. P.S. They validate for parking, too.

    Hubby and I dined here for breakfast and our experience was pleasant. The food was delicious. Our palettes were pleased by the scrambled eggs and French toast. My fruit bowl was fresh and sweet. Our server accommodated us very well as we came after breakfast serving time. They were gracious and still prepared this lovely meal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was quiet as we we were the only ones there at the time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Shoutout to Gomez for their amazing service today!! Even on thanksgiving, they were smiling and super kind. Attentive service and quick to get out the separate courses for thanksgiving! Last year was a little slow but it looks like they made some changes. Food was delicious and I loved that we could still order a coffee and a cocktail off the regular menu. I got the turkey, while hubby got the fried chicken as our main courses. I was super full and they kindly got me boxes. I had the refreshing apple cider sorbet & hubby got apple pie. This is our go to thanksgiving spot now! Beautiful ambiance and setting as well. I love all the things you can look at while you're eating.

    Had a great time having beers and apps here. There is a really good tap list. We had fried green tomatoes, wings and hummus. The hummus was the standout. Have to give a shout out to Gomez our waiter. He was phenomenal.

    Founding farmers has a good brunch buffet option with a good variety of breakfast and non-breakfast options. Their French toast cubes are stand out with the banana foster! Make sure to set aside space on your plate for some! The spicy fried chicken is nice and crispy, I also recommend the sliced beef, and there is a good spread of "appetizers" including tuna wonton cups and (surprisingly) good guacamole. Make sure to save some room for dessert too because the key lime pie cubes and snickerdoodle cookies were really good!

    Such BEAUTIFUL interior design!!! The ambiance is unmatched. It feels like home or camp. The server was wonderful. The ceviche isn't great to ceviche lovers, but it's tasty for beginner palate. The cornbread wasn't my type; it has a lot of corn kernels and it's moist more than I prefer for cornbread but it tastes good. The chicken dish here was BOMB! So delicious with the honey thyme sauce. The meat platter was apparently NOT FLAVORFUL so a big disappointment. Overall, love the concept of the restaurant and its fresh farm ingredients. In the Google plaza...inspirational. Free parking garage. Go, enjoy!

    Ahi tuna bites, yummmm...

    Came here for a late lunch today. The restaurant is spacious and beautiful, with an industrial-chic aesthetic. Margarita 2019 - though mostly ice, it was tart and refreshing. Coconut Old Fashioned - boozy but offered no complexity. Ahi Tuna bites - flavorful and delicious. Devilish eggs - I don't know who came up with this recipe but they should walk the plank. No. Absolutely not. The yolk portion seemed to consist of chopped up egg whites and mustard. Crab Cobb - now This was a tasty dish. My bartender, Aidan, couldn't have been better.

    So all I wanted for Father's Day was a good, loaded, succulent dish of hot bread pudding. The best I've had is in the heart of DC, which I was not making the 100 minute drive for (I really would have but my kids wouldn't enjoy the car ride). All the places around us serve cold bread pudding. And for some reason, almost every restaurant in northern VA serves the same, or similar, white chocolate bread pudding. I wanted something big, buttery, and hot. Luckily, Founding Farmers offered something remotely different than what other restaurants did. Luckily, they have four seats at the bar my family could sit at (instead of waiting 90 mins). I enjoy Founding Farmers and their food is good. But I just wanted bread pudding. And theirs hit the spot. It was a decent portion too. Couldn't have used a scoop of ice cream a la mode? Of course but did I need it? No. Their croissant donuts were well balanced too. What shocked me the most was that my family and I were able to sit at the bar. The kids thought they were treated special and considered this experience as something as if they were eating at a Gordon Ramsay restaurant. We won't eat here often (it's a 60 mins drive for us). But if we are in the area, and have the money, this would be a place we'd love to explore some more. But I encourage to call ahead to make reservations.

    My favorite crab cakes!

    Great service and amazing foods. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's always a pleasure to dine in here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Special thanks to Michael.

    Great lunch spot right off the metro! Shoutout to Celeste for amazing service. We had a reservation so we didn't have to wait for a table during brunch hours.

    I liked the place a lot. We had a brunch at 11:00 am, 4 people. The food was great, I got just a regular coffee and Apple Pie (goes with the scoop of ice cream). [[HIGHLIGHT]]I also like their rustic vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great place for a business lunch and dinner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    How are they with allergies? Is cross contamination an issue, or do they prepare properly so there's no issues for their customers?

    I dined with someone who required a gluten free diet -- and our server was HIGHLY familiar with what on the menu was appropriate for her.

    Do you offer a discount for military or veterans?

    Hi Angela! Thank you for reaching out! We absolutely do offer a discount on Veteran's Day (for example, this year we offered 50% off all food). -Amy

    What time do you switch from lunch service to dinner service? I know the menu is the same for the two, bus asking specifically in reference to the restaurant week menu (different prices).

    Hi Alexa! We switch to the Restaurant Week Dinner Menu at 4pm. Thank you!

It's a nice atmosphere, not too stuffy but elegant enough for a nice dinner. The drinks are good, well mixed, and nice options whether you drink wine, beer, cocktails, or non-alcoholic options. The food, however, is very mediocre. They started with an amuse-bouche that was a fruit tart with cheese. Nice, light, and well balanced. We ordered the tuna tartare, along side a Japanese sweet potato dish and a salmon tartare that were both specials. The tartares were fine. Something you would get anywhere. The presentation was nice but their crisp or cracker was kind of useless as it doesn't have the structural strength to use as a vessel to eat the fish. The sweet potato was probably the best in terms of flavor albeit very rich. The main course is well things really fell apart. The beef dishes people ordered were either under cooked or over cooked. I got the grilled prawns which were limp and mushy. The veggies were underseasoned. The braised beef was small. I think everyone was underwhelmed with the main course. It's fine as a after work dinner spot but if you care about food, there are better options nearby.

As soon as we entered, General Manager Sam welcomed us like old friends. After we were seated, my wife asked if he had previously worked at The Dabney, and sure enough, that's where we recognized him from. It was great catching up as he shared what he'd been doing since then and how his dream had always been to open his own restaurant. Seeing that dream come to life made the evening feel even more special. The restaurant was busy (definitely make reservations), but we were able to enjoy cocktails while we waited for our table. My Grey Goose martini with bleu cheese olives was phenomenal and set the tone for the rest of the meal. We started with the Bison Tartare and the Ceviche. The bison tartare was leaner than traditional beef tartare, and the crispy chips added the perfect savory crunch. The ceviche was incredibly fresh and bright. For our entrées, I had the ribeye while my wife ordered the Dory. The ribeye was cooked perfectly--juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. My wife couldn't stop talking about how buttery and delicious the fish was. To finish the evening, we ordered the 100-Year Port Flight featuring 10-, 20-, 30-, and 40-year ports. Vertical tastings are such a fun way to experience how a wine evolves over time. The 40-year was absolutely outstanding, and the 20-year was another favorite. The 10-year was enjoyable but still showed its youthful character compared to the older vintages. The atmosphere strikes a nice balance between upscale and relaxed. The main dining room can feel a little tight when the restaurant is full, while the bar area has a few TVs for anyone wanting to catch a game. One thoughtful touch that stood out was the women's restroom being stocked with amenities like hair ties and hair clips. We noticed they also offer a tasting menu, and after this experience, that's already on our list for our next visit. Between the outstanding hospitality, exceptional food, excellent cocktails, and welcoming atmosphere, Evelyn Rose absolutely earned five stars.

This was a business dinner and when we first entered I was amazed at how big and beautiful it was inside. The bar area was large, oval, and really upscale and nice! They also offer valet here, which is helpful given the area, it's tough to find parking! Our server was great! She offered many good options, offered up very helpful insight, and did a great job keeping an eye on our table. Their wine list is large, with so much to choose from, whether Italian or New World - They have a nice selection of bottles! They even have their own label (not sure who makes it) which I tried and it was decent, but we opted for something else. It was tough to select a salad, an appetizer, and an entrée, as we wanted to be able to eat everything and there was so much to choose from which looked so very appealing on the menu. I started with their arugula salad and it was excellent! Such a simplistic salad like this has to be made with fresh greens and this definitely met that mark! I did ask for a side of balsamic to drizzle a tiny bit in - but it really didn't need it. Dinner consisted of their braised short rib - AMAZING! So very tender and flavorful... YUMMM!!!! A nice balance of flavors, sweet and savory in this dish. Their pasta menu looked so very nice that I wanted a pasta too, so prior to the mains, I split their smoked chicken pasta with a colleague and that dish was crazy - so smokey and flavorful! The pasta was spot-on al dente too! Definitely a rich dish, creamy, flavorful, and very powerful - but tasty! We were all too full for dessert, so a couple of us just chose some Sambuca to sip as we ended the dinner and that was great, served perfectly chilled with the coffee beans. Highly recommend giving them a try, I'll most definitely return!

However, we were disappointed by the strict policy regarding outside wine. We were prepared to pay a corkage fee so we could enjoy a bottle we had brought for the occasion, but the manager explained that it was a firm policy set by the owner and could not be overridden. While we understand the need for policies, a bit more flexibility for special occasions would have gone a long way. Overall, the experience and food were very good, but policies like this can impact repeat business. Parking nearby is somewhat of a walk. Alternatively, valet parking is available at the nearby JW Marriott, which may be more convenient. I think the restaurant may have its own valet parking although I did not see it being offered the day we came.
