    Inside dining area

    Noodles & Company serves great noodles. They should since noodles are their specialty, and they did a great tonight. The service staff were fast, friendly, and extremely courteous. The food was served hot, tasting fresh and the orders were correct. The restaurant has a large inside dining area and outside patio tables as well. Highly recommend the Spicy Korean Beef Noodles and the Pad Thai with Grilled Chicken. Nice portion sizes (small order size shown) and reasonably priced.

    I was working in Fairfax for half the week, so I decided to eat here and try a different noodle dish a day. I would say this location does a decent job with flavor and ingredients. It wasn't bland nor over-salted, the dish didn't have missing ingredients and the portion was expected. I've been to others in the area that were on the same scale, and others not great/below average. I was pleasantly pleased with this one. The tables looked clean and there weren't many people there around noon. I noticed more people will order take out versus dining in. Customer services was average. On one of the days, the guy who took my order mumbled the entire time and didn't make eye contact. Other than that, the other two dudes were nice.

    My first time ever at Noodles and Co. was at this location. I was a student at GMU and at the time I thought the noodles were a great meal for my study night. Last week I came here with a friend and we ordered carry out. I had the Japanese Pan noodles and my friend ordered the pesto noodles with added grilled chicken and a small side of garlic bread. The food was truly disappointing. The pan noodles tasted old and rubbery. I thought I was chewing on hair bands soaked in soy sauce. To my friend's utter disappointment, he found a small but thick (eyebrow or beard?) hair. The cheesy garlic bread was old, dry and salty. We could not provide feedback to the staff since we had ordered to go and only came face to face with the food when at home. I feel bad about leaving a sad review, but I can't help but be disappointed with the poor quality of the food here.

It's situated on the corner of an intersection and there is available parking in nearby lots. We walked in without a reservation on a Saturday night and there were a few other couples dining but the restaurant had a lot of availability. We were promptly greeted and given our choice of seats. We admired the pictures of Italy on the wall given our visit to Italy last year and they have a nice selection of wine that we overheard other customers enjoying. I ordered the Filetto di Manzo cooked medium but it had no pink upon receipt which I was fine with but it wasn't what I asked for. It was a small piece of beef atop a bed of mashed potatoes that was relatively unflavored although tender despite being overcooked. Complimentary fresh bread came with the meal which my wife didn't think was freshly made. Service was good. The staff were pleasant and kept our glasses filled and needs taken care of. Overall an ok visit. Nothing stood out as a must return to try again given other options in the area.

Decided on this little spot in Fairfax town center after having a quick weekend day trip to DC. Really pleasantly surprised with the whole atmosphere of the place. It's a true fusion of asian bites but still a legitimate dive bar. The space is small, patrons are merry, and the whole place is an absolute vibe. I ordered some pilsner and some other lager on tap from local breweeies. Delicious. Ordered popcorn chicken, pork belly, and some 'real food' - a quick rice bowl with chicken. The fried bites were wonderfully crispy. They have good oil management and felt quite light especially with a swig of a cold lager. The rice bowl was tasty too. Construction was indeed very Taiwanese, and yet... I still felt like I'm in a dive bar complete with all its grunge. So cool They sell 4/6 packs of craft brews here too. They've got stuff all the way up from some Vermont and Maine (true craft beer land IMO)

Very attentive and "Johnny on the Spot" even though he was handling several tables. 5 stars for him! Next... The food. I ordered the Crabcake Benedict and my daughter and my friend both had Steak Benedict. We all agreed that the poached eggs were cooked perfectly, the hollandaise sauce was excellent and the potatoes were served hot and tasted great. I was the only one drinking alcohol and had the spiked cherry mimosa. Started our really tart.... Ended? Well... I drank 4 of them! LOL! 'Nuff said! I did not find out until after we left the restaurant that both my daughter and my friend felt like their steaks were bit overcooked, but to the restaurants defense, neither one of them told our waiter what temperature they would like to have it cook to and so I, and they, agreed that they both had enough experience eating in steakhouses to know to ask a steak to be cooked to whatever temperature they preferred. So this is not on anybody except them. I would ask the restaurant in the future to instruct their wait staff to ask anyone ordering steak,regardless of size, what they're preferred temperature is. That being said they said that the flavor of their steak was still excellent! It was my first time here and will certainly not be the last! I am a very, very picky eater and this is one of the best meals that I've enjoyed top to bottom in a long time!

Parking lot isn't super big but we were able to get a spot. We got seated immediately. Restaurant had a nice classic look inside but the tables were a little too close together. We tried the Pan Seared Sea Bass and the Seafood Cioppino as well as the Calamari to start. Unfortunately they did not have the ribs despite its coming at the start of dinner. The Sea Bass was cooked well but not much seasoning, mostly the lemon sauce. We were told the Seafood Cioppino was spicy but there really not much spice at all. The Calamari was solid though. The vibe of the restaurant seemed more business so might have not been the right choice for a birthday dinner. No one acknowledged or asked about special occasions (I don't care since it was for me, I didn't make the reservation). The food was ok but I'm not sure I'll be dying to come back.

Appetizers: - bread basket which came with popover bread was delicious -- this made us hopeful! The bread was soft and fluffy - crispy brussel sprouts - not bad - rosemary garlic fries - nice and crispy Entrees: would recommend the butternut squash risotto. The risotto was deliciously cheesy and savory! We also got the montegro fried chicken salad which was decent but not amazing. It came with a nice Dijon mustard sauce. Items we would not recommend: - crispy tofu with coconut rice = big block of tofu, uncut. It was also not very crispy at all but rather mushy and unseasoned. The rice was ok but could not redeem the unusual tofu serving The waitstaff was friendly but service was very slow; our poor server was running around taking care of many tables so our food came out pretty late; we had to ask for our last dish to be packed in a to go box because it ended up being really dark out (we sat out in the patio area). There is indoor and outdoor seating with a connected parking lot. My favorite items were the butternut squash risotto and the bread basket! I would avoid the tofu.

Wife and I sat at the Chef's Counter for a truly wonderful meal last night. The menu is exceptional, five courses, several with two options, and the progression was just perfect. We really loved all of the dishes, but for sure the ravioli with wild asparagus and ramps is one I will remember for a long time. The octopus was also a memorable dish, and the poussin was complex, layer after layer of flavor and the salt level was so good...just perfect food, perfectly executed. Oh, and shout out to the owner's dad, who is in his 90s and makes the bread, a rich sourdough, served warm, that has a 50 year old starter at its essence. Yum. We did the wine pairings and I def recommend. Some really good wines, curated from small vineyards globally, matched perfectly and well presented. The sommelier nailed it. We also just loved the service. Nice touches pre arrival, they are expecting you when you arrive and there's a lovely personal touch and welcoming feel. The ambience is warm, and you can hear and talk and it does feel like you're at a dinner party with friends and family. Finally, shout out to the chefs and servers.

I mean, honestly, the meal was exquisite and so perfectly executed. Each dish is crafted with a passion and care for food that absolutely shines. I mean the Foie Gras (sp??) - I don't even really like the stuff, put the way they sauteed it, put it on top of some sort of savory cake and slathered it with this balsamic gastrique - it was like bacon and pancakes smothered in maple syrup just amplified to 100. Bottom line: I would eat this every day (and amplify my weight by 100 too). The snow crab, I don't know if it's the care in selecting the product or the techniques used to prepare it (probably both ), but they packed so much crab flavor into that dish! And the dark chocolate cheesecake, it was magic that can make something so dark, so bold, so rich feel so light when you are eating it. This was just one specific meal here, but I am surprised and delighted every time we get the privilege to dine at Elyse. It's not just the food, it's the atmosphere and the attention of the staff.

A couple we've befriended told us they lived in Fairfax for several years. They are big fans of Dolce Vita. We were told that a reservation is necessary as the place is popular. We decided to finally try Dolce Vita this past Saturday and reserved a table for an early dinner. When we got there, the place was practically empty. We were seated at a four-top table and were told that they had hosted a large party earlier in the day. They were still rearranging the dining room when we arrived. The staff was friendly and efficient. During our meal, the manager checked on us more than once. Alas, there is no sign in the dining room indicating where the restrooms are, so we asked the server for their location. Sadly, we weren't impressed with the food. We started with a bruschetta appetizer and also ordered some garlic bread. When the bruschetta arrived, it was very attractively presented. It consists of: "roasted garlic, tomatoes, basil, and fresh mozzarella". The bread was tough and chewy, with little garlic flavor. We've had bruschetta before, and it was made with fresh tomatoes. I picked up a piece, bit into it, only to have half of the toppings fall on the table. The fresh mozzarella was basically 4 thin, small slices that one adds to their serving rather than a sizable ball of mozzarella. There was also a small pile of microgreens that were meant to be added to the bruschetta, an unusual addition. I ended up cutting up the bread, which wasn't easy. Nothing like having to fight with one's food. For my main course, I chose "chicken piccata," which consists of "pan-seared chicken and broccolini in a lemon, caper, and white wine sauce". The chicken breast was well prepared, moist, and tender. The sauce was fine, although I wished it had more capers. As for the broccolini, it was barely cooked at all, not even tender crisp. Again, I had to fight with a menu item. My husband chose to have "baked ziti bolognese al forno" which consists of "ricotta, tomato sauce, beef bolognese and mozzarella." He found part of a bay leaf in the dish. The dish was very cheese-forward, and the cow had walked through it, leaving very little of itself behind. In conclusion, we don't plan to return as it was rather disappointing.
