We made reservations since we were a group of 6 including 2 infants, and these were warranted as the restaurant progressively filled up as we got closer to peak brunch hours. We were offered a large booth, which was appreciated as we needed space for the babies. The food here tasted quite good. My wife ordered the Pork Belly Benedict, which offered tender-crisp, thick slices of braised pork belly atop soft, buttery focaccia and coated with well poached eggs and creamy hollandaise. We both highly enjoyed my Broadlands Breakfast Sandwich, a clever take on a standard bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich swapping crispy, perfectly sweet French toast for standard bread. The breakfast potatoes served alongside were crispy on the outside with fluffy interiors and good seasoning. Our friends enjoyed their sandwiches as well. As the name alludes, the drink program is strong and offers something for everyone. In addition to wine and whisky, a solid selection of both cocktails and draft beers are available. Prices for both food and drinks were quite reasonable given the quality of what we received. I do dock a star for just so-so service. Our waitress was a bit MIA during the first part of our meal when we were trying to order, and then kept checking in on us every 5 minutes once our food arrived. We also had to remind her a few times to get a high chair for our little one. Fortunately, the food and drinks all arrived accurately and within a timely manner once ordered. Service woes aside, the creative fare satisfied our taste buds and we look forward to returning soon for to sample more of the brunch menu and libations.

Our fantastic bar server was Abby. She joked about trying everything on the menu... and we almost did. Short of maybe one or two items, we did enjoy all the food. The drink pours really weee generous and the selection of crazy hour wines knocked it out of the park. Ambiance- well lots of outdoor space and garage door walls made it well lit and enjoyable. It's easy to slide from crazy hour to happy hour because of the food, drink and service.

Our baby loved looking at the lights and got to taste the red bocce balls (meatballs)! We think she liked the flavor. The bocce balls were a bit too chewy for my tastes.

I've been coming to this coffee shop for years and have always loved it (fantastic coffee and…read morewonderful food, plus friendly employees) but yesterday's visit was so unpleasant that I walked right back out. As soon as I stepped inside, an employee practically intercepted me with a rude "Can I help you?" and not in a welcoming way, but in a tone that made it clear she didn't want us there. When I said we were dining in, she told us the restaurant was full and that we could sit outside... in 100‑degree weather. The attitude was snotty, dismissive, and completely out of line. We felt like we were being treated as second‑class customers. Not welcoming at all. I'm genuinely disappointed. This used to be one of my favorite spots, but if this is the direction the service is heading, I'm not sure I'll be back.

If you don't know what to get-- Get the broccoli caesar and chicken thigh!!!!!! Picasso - grapefruit honeydew melon lemon rosemary: 8/10 bc too much ice but flavor is good. Tiki baby- pineapple lemon lime sage cardamom 6/10: a little too sour but first taste was delicious. Porto cooler- raspberry scrub, lemon 7/10 a little too much wine flavor but I'm a sucker for a good raspberry. Rigatoni bolognese: 6/10 too salty and maybe a little under done but still a solid bolognese. Grilled chicken thighs: 10/10 hints of curry and soooo juicy best thing by far. Bastian meatballs: 6/10 jus average meatballs nothing crazy but still good. Broccoli caesar 9/10 very very delicious and refreshing. Corsican frites: 8/10 good sauce it was like a thick creamy sauce and I love fries soooo. French onion soup: 4.5/10 too salty and the sourdough was built in but we wanted it separately. Vinegar potato chips 7/10 good garlic aioli sauce. Cacio el pepe: 8/10 the noodles were soooo yum and I love the consistency.

After noticing there was an Italian restaurant at Leesburg Village Market, I went home and looked…read moreat their menu and Yelp reviews. Seeing that their recent reviews were good, we decided to give them a try. We were here on a Saturday around 4 p.m. for an early dinner. The place had a few occupied tables, including a large party. Our server, Steven, was prompt in getting to us and asked what we wanted to drink. I chose sweet iced tea while my husband had a Heineken 00. We decided to start our meal by sharing a caprese. It consists of: "Fresh mozzarella, vine-ripened tomatoes, olive oil, basil, balsamic reduction." There were 5 slices of tomato, each topped with a generous slice of mozzarella. We enjoyed this starter. The tomatoes were ripe, and the balsamic reduction added a nice flavor. For dinner, I ordered "lobster and crab ravioli, which consists of: "Brandy cream sauce, jumbo lump blue crab". This dish had 4 raviolis. From their appearance, one could tell they were handmade. The brandy cream sauce was well-balanced. I was glad to see that the brandy didn't take over the sauce, but rather, it complemented it quite well. I could taste the lobster and crab. The one thing I didn't like was the cost. For that reason, when we return for a meal, I would choose a different entree. Before heading here, I looked at the menu and told my husband that I thought he would like "Sausage and peppers rustica". This dish consists of: "Italian sausage, roasted peppers, red onions, cavatappi, spicy marinara, mozzarella". He looked at the description and said that's what he would order. The dish arrived hot and remained hot through the meal. It was quite filling and tasty. We actually had some room for dessert, so we agreed to share a serving of Tiramisu. It consists of:"Award-winning layered creamy rum-flavored mascarpone cheese, espresso-soaked lady fingers, espresso sauce". This dessert was quite tasty. The espresso added a nice flavor, and the whipped cream on top was a nice touch. Service from start to finish was excellent. The young woman at the host stand was friendly. We liked that she wiped down the menus before giving them to us. Steven, our server, was prompt, friendly, and efficient. He checked with us during the meal but wasn't overbearing.

It wasn't super busy at the time but that was kinda perfect since we were a pretty large group. The bartenders/servers were awesome - shout out to Bella, Kim, and Marshall! We were 10 drunk women loudly singing and dancing the whole night and they never made us feel unwelcome or like we were an inconvenience at all. Plus they made some GOOD drinks - try the white gummy bears or the rum punch ;) And the food was great too. We didn't eat much but what we did eat was great. 10/10 would recommend this place. We've already discussed coming back again!

I was only going to give this place four stars because it is not super high-end, but the more I…read morethought about it, the more they truly deserve five stars for the experience that we had. It was super packed on a town center concert night. Found two seats at the bar and were served right away. Bartender was extremely helpful and recommending a couple glasses of wine, which were spot on, a little pricey, but at least they were good. I had a Riesling and my companion had a Chardonnay. Ordered some type of tuna appetizer and it was awesome. Also ordered the fried zucchini sticks, but they were mediocre. Then we got a shrimp scampi type entrée and shared it, and it was excellent. Had a nice time and the atmosphere was great!

Overall, the appetizer portions are VERY small. For the main entrees, we got SPICY SAUSAGE PIZZA, BRAISED PORK PAPPARDELLE, CAMPANELLE, CABERNET BURGER, ATLANTIC SALMON, and RAINBOW TROUT. -Spicy Sausage Pizza: it was a spicy sausage pizza with some fancy cheese grated on top. -Braised Pork Pappardelle: The noodles were al dente and there was a tomato based sauce. -Campanelle: the white sauce was a little bland. The noodles were al dente. -Cabernet Burger: the patty was very flavorful and juicy. Would recommend this. It came with fries. -Atlantic Salmon: The salmon was topped with a tomato sauce, personally I would have prefer no tomato sauce as it really overpowers the salmon flavor. Under the salmon was some lettuce. -Rainbow trout: this does not come with a sauce on top like the salmon and so is able to maintain a bit of crisp to the skin. Overall, all the food we had here was mediocre. Nothing stood out. The location and ambiance is great, so it's nice for a get together, not for foodies - not recommended.
