Before I end my "positive list" I would like to recommend getting here early. Here is what they need to improve on: 1. The reason I recommend getting here early was because of their poor concept of crowd control. Luckily I got here just in time to squeeze inside the doors, but the other unlucky audience people had to wait outside in the 90+ degree weather. They could have easily fixed this by having people wait under the covered walkway connecting to the school. 2. The sound from the speakers was a little "wonky". In other words, it was loud at one second and the next second it was muffled. Other than that, I didn't have much against this place and can say it was a good Church show! I would defiantly recommend giving this place a try!

Great drinks menu. Full bar. The food is excellent, super fresh and well-seasoned. I loved the tortilla soup: it was flavorful and perfectly spiced with loads of shredded chicken and fresh avocado. The house salsa is divine. I would eat it on everything. The pickled onions garnishing our dishes were so good. Their pico de gallo is very fresh and perfectly spicy. The produce used is all they fresh and ripe. Server was excellent--never wrote anything down but got everything right, even with loads of special requests.

This Festival goes under few different names: The church website calls it "Greek and East…read moreFestival", the host (Harris Pavilion) calls it "Annual Manassas International Food Festival," and earlier versions on the Facebook called it "Old World" festival. These are all good names for this Nativity of Our Lord Carpatho-Russian Orthodox church fundraiser. In a conversation with one member I learned that this is one of those orthodox churches that do not have the National denomination (Bulgarian Orthodox, Russian Orthodox, Greek Orthodox, etc...) as it caters not just to the first generation of immigrants but more to all generations and all people with the Orthodox fate, with no consideration of the national borders. I learned that they have one mass in English and Our Father prayer is recited in 7 world languages. The menu of the festival reflects the church diversity but caused a dilemma of many comers as far as what to eat because it is a long way from Ethiopia to Russia on the food road. People took longer time to figure out if they would rather have Ethiopian, Greek, Slavic, Romanian, Mexican or American food but once in line you move quickly with the food vendors winking and lifting their trays to entice you to get their food. Pierogi were very good, baked well; hard outside and soft inside so combination of dough, potato and cheese was properly melting in the mouth. While I was eating delicious plums with crème, my tongue quickly detected a harder object within the plum. I wondered why plums were not pitted like the most things in US are and to my pleasant surprise the object in question was a walnut half. Once I knew what I am eating - it all came together very nicely. Letdown was that the deserts did not offered any layered moist cake or crepes - which always make me anticipate any Slavic or Western Europe festival. Another letdown was that I could not have a Greek or Russian beer. There was just one Greek wine type but on a hot day a beer goes better with the lunch. The venue was perfect and enthusiasm of the host was energizing. I was happy to support in some way their church. The visit can be combined with a walk in the old town Manassas.

I recognize that the Magic Duel takes huge pride in 5 star reviews on Yelp, which I deeply respect. But I did wish that we had seen the show in a different venue. I am no stage expert, but lights and sound do matter a lot in delivery of a magic show for a skeptic like me, going because the significant other loves magic shows. With better lighting, things would have been more "magical" (thinking bottles.) I was also surprised that a bubble artist, as good as she was in her profession, was considered a magician. After some quick research, you will end up at Magic Duel in this genre, so please go to Dupont or Georgetown.

​I fully expect this review may be buried or deleted, but if I can save even one local family from…read moreexperiencing the embarrassment and hostility my guests and I faced today, it will be worth it. ​I brought a group of 14 children to celebrate a birthday on a Sunday. Because official party packages were booked out (and wildly overpriced for a mere 45-minute window), I took the initiative to call days in advance. I spoke directly with the General Manager, Casey, to give a heads-up that a large group of 25+ (including parents) would be paying general admission. I explicitly agreed to their rules: tables were first-come, first-served, and there was a strict no-outside-food policy. ​Unfortunately, compliance meant absolutely nothing to the staff or management. From the moment we arrived, we were treated less like paying patrons and more like inmates under surveillance. ​The Experience: ​Hostile Greeting: Before even being greeted at the counter, a staff member scolded me for holding balloons and a clear personal water cup. I was told balloons are only permitted for "official" paid parties. ​The "No Gift" Policy: When my guests arrived, they were stopped at the front desk and barred from bringing in birthday cards or gift bags. They were forced to walk back to their cars to leave presents for a child. When I asked GM Casey to show me where this "policy" was listed, he smirked, rolled his eyes, and dismissively said, "It's policy." ​Targeted & Inconsistent Enforcement: While my guests were turned away at the door with gift bags, I observed multiple other patrons walking freely around the facility with them. When pointed out, Casey condescendingly snapped, "Do you know if they are here for a party?" and continued to roll his eyes. ​Overbearing Surveillance: Throughout the afternoon, my guests were repeatedly scolded for simply holding water near (not on) the rink, and even reprimanded for taking quick photos of their kids near the floor. ​Unprofessional Behavior: To cap off the aggressive atmosphere, I witnessed GM Casey physically snatch a cupcake out of an adult patron's hand and throw it into the trash, rather than professionally asking the guest to discard or consume it outside. It was shocking and utterly uncalled for. ​The Bottom Line: ​A business reflects its leadership. Casey's arrogant, defensive, and power-tripping demeanor has clearly trickled down to his staff. When I asked for a partial refund since I never even skated myself, he tapped the counter and pointed to a "no refunds" sign. When asked for the owner's information, he aggressively rattled off a first name and a generic email address (Lynn@skatenfunzone.com). ​Collectively, my group spent over $400 today, only to be met with suspicion, hostility, and embarrassment. Being the only rink in the immediate area does not give management a license to treat local families like garbage. ​In today's economy, customer service matters. Do not spend a dime here until senior leadership undergoes serious re-training.
