I say Brusters is good for 4 stars only because although it is good ice cream, the flavor slightly lacks. I thought it was just a bad batch that was made, but each trip ended the same. The customer service is great here, and even I find their ice cream to be decent but not great, I would still recommend this place to anyone in the area!

They offer quality market goods, ice cream…read morestand, outside entertainment space in the warmer months, and a super pub in the back of the market serving beer and wine.

A must not miss experience, kids and dogs welcomed. So much fun! ​

They have a good selection of various stuff to pick from like baked goods, meats, spices,…read morecondiments, etc. The ice cream selection is also very good whether you want that or a milkshake. The bar has a good selection of different wines and ciders. If anyone wants to try them, I recommend it. Every Thursday, they have open mic nights and I think the music is good. People doing covers of old country songs, rock and pop. The only thing that needs to be fixed is that there's no paper towels in the bathrooms. Just an air dryer. The toilets also need to be disinfected or replaced with new ones because it looks old inside it. Overall, this is a good place if anyone wants to come here to listen to the music and try the homemade ciders they make.

Loved this place. The soft serve was delicious. The service was fast. Will happily swing by again.read more

Visited Erin's Elderberries this week for some caffeine. I was unaware of the place - until I saw…read morethe sign as I was driving through the Vint Hint complex. Following the signs - it's in the same building that houses the Vint Hill U.S. Post Office. The physical space that Erin's is in - used to house a business called "Vint Hill Coffee" - which closed down a couple of years ago. I ordered their darkest hot coffee. Coffee was good. The place sells a ton of gifts, jellies, honey, and more. There are no tables and chairs to sit at. There is a small area set aside for kids - which includes two couches - but nowhere to sit and get online, work, and drink coffee. #ErinsElderberries

Once you figure out how to get into the parking lot, there is the hidden gem of an ice cream place. They have so many flavors and so many options. I bet you could create thousands of different combinations based on all the flavors, options, toppings. We got there about 30 minutes prior to closing and the staff was still so helpful (plus the place was still busy!). They have really nice outdoor seating with picnic benches that make it enjoyable to eat ice cream while being outside. The prices are fairly priced as well. not the cheapest but also not super expensive. Definitely give this ice cream place a try!

The minute we walked in we were seated early and the staff was so friendly and welcoming immediately and the ambiance is very warm and chic. Multiple employees gave us friendly greetings. The Chef's tasting was tastefully prepared and there were some additional items not on the menu. The Japanese milk bread was delicious too! I really loved the rockfish and the Braised short rib. Each course was beautifully presented and the seasoning and flavors were perfectly balanced. We were really impressed. The chef came out to introduce himself and it was nice to be able to compliment him in person. He's been there just over a month, I think, and he is doing a phenomenal job! This is such a welcome experience out west in the south. I highly recommend checking it out. It was about as good as Clarity in Vienna or 2941 in Falls Church. Dress was business casual and definitely a nicer place for more of a date night or special occasion. We wouldn't bring our children here. We were full at the end but not stuffed. Comfortably satisfied in our bellies for sure!

I feel like I was being punked!!!…read more The vibe and the service was great but the food was terrible!! I felt so misled by yelp and Washingtonian!! The price point (145/165) is not deserved for what is served. I didn't want to leave a bad review but I didn't want people that actually go to fine dining establishments to waist their money. To be a little more specific on the food, everything was either too salty, disproportioned, frozen(deserts) , stale( bruschetta and the tuna tartar cone) or just not cooked well. I wish this place well, I will not be back. And I just want the young servers to know that their customer service was great, they were very polite and friendly.
