She continued to check on us periodically and gave us a beautiful experience. We all ordered a lot of food and everything was delicious. We were on the second floor upstairs and everyone I was with loved their food and service. We had another waiter down the other end but I didn't know his name, he did an amazing job too on the other end of our table. Both Ruth and the other waiter gave us an amazing experience. Thank you Founding Farmers. You have an amazing crew with Ruth she went above and beyond for us. We are thankful for her and the other waiter for our table!! Even though we were such a big party, we felt very comfortable and homey. Thank you again very much!!!!

Best service and amazing iced vanilla latte. I visited here this morning for quick breakfast and I…read moream blown away by their service and food. The host's name was Mercedes and she explained to me her food recommendations. She was very professional and smiled all the time. She also told me it is raining outside so I should take an umbrella. I didn't have too much of an expectation on coffee as this venue is located inside a hotel but this coffee was definitely the best coffee I've ever had in any hotels. (i stay in Marriott hotels more than 30 days a year) Very smooth and appropriately sweet. You are doing well and please keep it up! *French toast was amazing too.

We stayed at the Marriott for one evening and had breakfast at the Corby kitchen on a weekday…read moremorning. The sign said 'take a seat and someone will be with you'. We did that, but no one was bringing us a menu or acknowledged us for five minutes. But, I saw staff standing around talking so I am guessing they didn't see us sit down. I went to someone and asked for menus and then they realized we had just arrived so we had much better service from then on. They did apologize for missing us. Our food was good and I enjoyed the eggs Benedict and had some of my husband's French toast which was also good. I do think the staffing would be helped by adding another person, but that's just based on what I saw. I give the restaurant 4 stars just because the pricing was a bit high, but I do understand we were in a nicer area and hotel pricing is typically high.

After taking my wife here for her birthday, I decided to come back and see if the experience would…read morebe just as good--or perhaps even better--than our first visit. Service got off to a slow start this time. It took long enough that my daughter eventually got up to find our server so we could get water. There was also some initial confusion about how we wanted the check split, but once that was sorted out, our server was attentive, friendly, and did an excellent job. We have no complaints about the service after that point. We ordered several of the same appetizers as our previous visit: the Artichoke & Spinach Dip and the Crispy Thai Brussels. We also tried the Crabby Fries, which weren't on the menu during our last visit. All three appetizers were fantastic and just as memorable as before. Three of us ordered drinks. I had a Bloody Mary, and while it wasn't quite as impressive as the one I had during my previous visit, it was still enjoyable. As for the food, I'll start with the few disappointments. My wife ordered a fish dish and upgraded to the crispy potatoes, which are excellent when prepared properly. Unfortunately, the fish was placed directly on top of the potatoes, leaving them soggy rather than crispy by the time the dish reached the table. That was especially disappointing considering the additional charge for the upgrade. On our last visit, two Steak Frites orders were overcooked. This time, my daughter ordered the same dish and requested medium-rare, assuming it might come out a little over. Instead, it arrived rare. Fortunately, she was fine with it. My parents both ordered the Black & Bleu Penne, and while the filet tips in both dishes were overcooked, they remained surprisingly juicy. Another member of our party ordered the Chicken Pesto Sandwich and was disappointed by the soggy bread and somewhat lackluster flavor. I ordered the Chicken Marsala, and it was very good. It wasn't a traditional Chicken Marsala as I'm accustomed to, but it was flavorful, unique, and ultimately satisfying. After two visits, here's my overall impression: the service has been consistently good, though not exceptional. The flavors, however, have been outstanding every time. The kitchen clearly knows how to develop great flavors, and that consistency keeps us coming back. If you're ordering a steak dish, just be aware that the final temperature may not always be exactly as requested. That said, we've visited with large groups both times--eight people on our first visit and seven on our second--so it's possible some dishes spend extra time waiting in the window while the rest of the order is completed. Overall, this is a solid 4.5-star restaurant in our opinion. Unfortunately, Yelp doesn't allow half-star ratings, so I'm giving it 4 stars. Despite a few execution issues, the food quality and flavor are strong enough that we'd gladly return again.

The patio is lively with hikers and cyclists coming off the nearby Potomac trails, while the interior feels like a beautiful French provincial country home, complete with chintz, fabric-covered walls, and charming fabric lampshades. It is wonderfully romantic and unabashedly cottagecore. The food is excellent, the atmosphere is singular, and the entire experience feels like an escape from Washington without ever leaving the area. We need to return very soon.

I have this place on my radar for quite a while but unfortunately it didn't quite hit. Came here…read morefor dinner for a business meeting with a friend and partner. We were looking for a quiet setting without too much disruption and nice ambience plus good food. Unfortunately this place missed on all attempts I really love the outdoor seating arrangements with the fire pits lights and parking space I think this is a great place to grab a drink and chit chat in the summer but aside from this I wouldn't be in a hurry to come back I ended up coming for dinner and it's very small on the inside with no more than 10 tables. We sat at a small table near the bar because that is one of the seats they had available. Their menu is not very expansive Here's what we ended up getting in an attempt to try a few different things The mushroom risotto was tasty The ribeye steak was horrible. I asked for it to be cooked medium and it was pretty bloody and rare. My friend doesn't mind it and I don't send back food so I couldn't eat it at all but honestly seeing something that bloody grossed me out totally. They also brought the ribeye which was full of fat and not a good cut of meat for the price they're asking for in both of our opinions with two starch dishes one which mashed potato and the other one was sweet potato and other root vegetables cut up. There was no option to ask for a different side. Dessert was lemon ricotta cake which honestly was kind of a bummer because it was sugary frosting that I could get at a Costco bakery The inside setting has a fireplace which is nice. One of the things that was a little bit different about our evening is the local patron who was there was a bit loaded and kept at our table we were trying to be polite about it but her husband didn't call her back and neither did the wait staff the wait staff did their best to get us distracted enough to move but the seat that they put us in was closer to the door and rather cold. I also got the impression that they were hoping to close up shop because the end dinner service at 9:00 p.m. and I had a seats in at around 7:45. I think the price is rather high given the quality of the food and not worthwhile. The only thing that I really did like about this place was the outdoor ambience so I might be inclined to come here with a group in the summer to sit by the fire pit chill out and hang and drink. Aside from that I'm not really loving the vibe of this place Plenty of parking in a private lot which is free. It's in a foresty part of Potomac if you like that kind of thing this will be a nice getaway not too far from the city.

I usually grab takeout but am happy that my friend and me were able to dine in. Tip: reservations are highly suggested as the restaurant does fill up. I can't remember the name of the cocktails that we ordered, but they were both super cute and refreshing! For starters, we ordered Brussels sprouts, which were crispy and super flavorful. I ordered the Julii burger (medium well) and my friend ordered the steak frites. We shared our dishes, which was smart of us. The burger is always a 10/10 and the steak was good too! Our server was also very pleasant and helped us with our drink choices. The place was clean and the ambiance was perfect for a Tuesday evening meal.

5-stars for the staff! They are fast and friendly!…read more 4-stars for the beer selection, lots of local taps! 2-stars for the quality of the beers on tap. Many are flat. Why? Because many of them are wildy over-carbonated, which results 2-3 pints of beer being poured out for every 1 pint of beer as the excessive foam is pushed out by more and more beer...which also foams...it's a horrible feedback loop. What you're left with is a beer that has lost almost all its carbonation and bubbles by being excessively agitated during the pouring process. Y'all might need to turn down the PSI on your CO2 regulator. How do I know this? I brew beer, and this is what I sometimes have to do when my beer is over-carbonated.

I finally tried their brunch items on Mother's Day this year. My family enjoyed their breakfast burrito, burger with shoe string fries, and Cobb salad. The burrito was packed with eggs, chorizo, and all the fun sauces, making each bite flavorful and filling. I was pretty full after eating just half of it, and it came with a side of breakfast potatoes too. My only complaint about my experience here was that my entree came out 10 minutes before my dad's burger did. I know it w an be hard to time for all dishes to be ready at the same time, but I would have preferred for them to keep my entree on a heating plate rather than delivering it when it was ready. Overall, the restaurant offers traditional American items, with a slight spin. I am curious about their fried bacon sticks are about. The Grove compares to Ted's Bulletin in terms of ambiance, price, food options, and quality.

Aesthetically this place is really awesome, but the food doesn't match depending on what you get…read more Let's just start with the place. If you love floral designs, this place is it. And there's an entire wall of wine, and a cool neon sign, and the outdoor seating space is cool and cozy. They have a spacious bar with pretty good deals too! In the past, I have really enjoyed the watermelon caprese salad, and enjoyed a few glasses of wine at the bar. I have noticed an inconsistency with the service though. Sometimes, the bartender is really attentive, and other times they just aren't for whatever reason. My girlfriend loves French fries, and I was really excited for her to try theFrench fry ferris wheel. It's such a a great concept, but sadly it fell short. Some of the flavors are really lacking. I was able to tell them all apart,, but some are more seasoned than others, and I don't think I had one french fry that was hot. It is also possible that given this format, they just did not maintain temperature very long. But they are French fries, and that is important! Despite this, I recommend trying to spot at least once. And there is a lot on that still needs to be tried, but my experience so far has been rather mixed.
