    Salmon special
    Neal K.

    Really 4.5 but yelp wont allow that. Low key local place that really surprised me. Very small menu, but rotating specials that are above average for bar food. I had the salmon with lemon sauce and capers special and was kinda leery to order medium rare, but it came out great. Went on a Saturday and got live music as an added plus. Nice little place that doesn't look like much from the road but is worth the stop.

    Caesar salad with grilled chicken

    Excellent food with live bands on certain nights. Friendly staff. Hidden gem in Springfield. Older crowd that like to dance. Bo the bartender is super cool and makes everyone feel welcomed. I went there 2 nights in a row. Lots of different bands to enjoy.

It gets really busy, so it is normal to have to wave a bartender down to order. However, they are very good about making rounds and asking if you are good to go or need anything. For a bar, The food and selection of food is very good. They have a great variety of options and everything I have tried so far has been great. Pizza, boneless wings, the hummus!, the sliders and tacos. All very good. If an order is wrong, they will make it right. I ordered boneless wings (half buffalo and half lemon pepper). They gave me whiskey pepper instead of the lemon. I told the bartender and he said he would take care of it. They brought me a whole order of lemon pepper wings on top of the ones I already had. Great customer service.

She was very attentive to everyone at the bar while also slinging drinks. My skinny margaritas were really delicious. I ordered a chicken bowl, and it was surprisingly way better than I thought it would be given that it's in their under 700 cal menu. I would absolutely order it again!

    I am so glad I finally gave them another try because coming here during the week and eating inside…read morewas a stark difference. I was in the mood for sushi so I ordered steamed dumplings and a couple of rolls I believe they were Alaskan roll and probably either a salmon, tuna, and or yellowtail. The server I wish I remember her name was so sweet and gave me some great recommendations of drinks to try. Because this was a couple of months ago I believe I can't remember the drinks I had. But I do remember the Hennessy and strawberry drink was my fav! I do believe I ordered something to go be it I can't really remember...lol. But I do know it was so hot outside and the air quality was trash because of the wildfires in Canada. They had it freezing cold in there and this is why I always have a hoodie in my car. I will be back...

It was a bit confusing, but seems like it's a sushi restaurant mixed with an Asian cuisine one. There was plenty of seating inside. This is located in a mall so we were able to find parking in the packed parking lot. They had womens and mens restrooms in the space. The service was a bit awkward, but fine overall. My husband built his own bowl that was fine. The miso soup I got was alright. I wish I liked my scallop nigiri and salmon avocado roll more. Overall the food was ok. I agree with another comment that mentioned it felt very Americanized. They had a lot of TVs on for the World Cup which was cool. They also have a huge menu with a lot of options.

    So... this was an interesting experience in customer service!…read more I used the FANZO sports bar finder website (fanzo.com) to determine that a pay-per-view boxing event was "confirmed" (per the website) to be showing at Dave & Buster's Springfield this past Saturday afternoon. I called the location ahead of time that Saturday and spoke to a D&B employee, who confirmed that the bar would be showing the boxing event. I drove 20+ minutes to the location and, after waiting at the bar for a while, I was told that, after checking with the manager, Dave & Buster's would NOT be showing the event--even though it had been listed as "confirmed" on the sports bar finder website and despite D&B staff confirming it over the phone less than an hour earlier. On my way out the door, I noticed a poster advertising another boxing event (Errol Spence vs. Tim Tszyu) that Dave & Buster's planned to show later that night. I didn't see the event confirmed anywhere online so, when I got back home, I again called Dave & Buster's to confirm that they'd at least be showing the boxing event that night, given the poster advertising the event near the front entrance. They quickly confirmed that yes, the event would be showing. So a couple of hours later, I again drove 20+ minutes back to Dave & Buster's Springfield to watch the event and patronize the venue. Upon arrival, one of the first things I noticed was that the poster I'd seen near the front door just a few hours earlier had been removed. I asked a D&B front desk employee about the event, and she sheepishly replied that the venue had "planned" on airing the event but was unable to do so (for some unexplained reason). So that was two sporting events advertised as airing that same day that ultimately weren't shown. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me, I guess! Later that night, I emailed Dave & Buster's Guest Relations (corporate) to explain what had happened and express my frustration with the experience. To my surprise, they responded promptly the next day (on a Sunday!), apologized, and credited me with Dave & Buster's gaming chips as a gesture of goodwill. (I did have to pay a little out of pocket to purchase the Power Card needed for Guest Relations to transfer the gaming chips, but I nonetheless very much appreciated the goodwill gesture.) So I'd definitely rate the initial experience at the location a 1, but I'd rate D&B Guest Relations' prompt response and gesture of goodwill a 4 or 5. So they get a 3 overall from me (higher than their current Yelp average). I'll say that my experiences at this venue prior to this past weekend have generally been good. I just don't think I'll feel comfortable relying on this location for pay-per-view sporting events anytime soon, and, given the experience I had here, I'd warn others to independently verify any pay-per-view event before making the trip, even if Dave & Buster's staff confirms it over the phone.

    First off, the food was surprisingly good here. I treated my family to dinner and gaming last…read moreSaturday , so we started with dinner. My wife got the chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries, which she loved. I had the Fish and Chips dinner which was great. Our son enjoyed the Chicken Fingers and fries. His wife had a large salad which she said was tasty. And our grandson had the 5 cheese flatbread and fries which he devoured. Service was quick and attentive. After dinner, we played a lot of games for close to two hours. Lots of fun! The only negative comment I have is that the noise level was very high. They could probably turn down the music and games a few hundred decibels! Other than that, a great time was had by all.

Drinks were very weak. I ordered a large margarita because I was planning on only one drink, but it was overly sweet and I didn't taste any tequila. It also took them a very long time to bring out the drinks. I ordered flautas which were supposed to be served with tomato and avocado and sides of rice and beans along with sour cream, cheese, and lettuce. When my food came out, there were no avocado, tomato, rice, or beans. At this point I was just kind of over it and wanted to get out of there. My husband got a chimchanga, but the rice was unseasoned and cold, and the beans were cold. There were gambling machines in the restaurant, and it sort of looked like they were in the middle of a renovation. The walls were half painted and there were no decor aside from Frida Kahlo looking down on us. It evidently was a "hidden gem" but these days it's more of "trash out in the open."

These venues include church halls, basements of people's homes, lobbies of Arlington condos, a Falls Church bike store, and other community recreational space. Audiences are offered an unmatched experience of getting up close with top talent artists drawn from the nation's premier musical centers (Nashville, New York City, Austin, Athens, etc.). Artists perform acoustic style sets (bigger sets with multiple band players are also offered) to audiences who seek genuine music beyond the teflon machine-generated radio pop, and love to support independent musicians. These artists are tall on talent yet short on big name music industry commercial fame. Offering exquisite, heart-felt music and passion, their performances make for stirring musical soirees. Many of the acts are from the folk/bluegrass field, who have jazz and pop influences, extending sometimes to motown and gospel. Audiences can buy tickets online, via the Web site (stoneroomconcerts.com) but can also walk in to the venue on the performance night and are encouraged to donate to the artist. The host of the venue typically provides snacks and drinks for attendees. This non-profit is run with a lot of heart by David H. who does an impeccable job curating the numerous acts he brings to northern Virginia throughout the year. I highly encourage all music afficionados to attend one of these "house concerts" for the true feeling of shared musical spirit just as it has always been in history, through pure voice and unfiltered performance in a small gathering.

As of July 31, 2014, Stone Room Concerts was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Virginia, and has received 501(c)3 nonprofit status with the IRS, also effective as of that date. Additionally, Stone Room Concerts includes as part of its mission support for charitable causes, including acting as a fiscal sponsor for the Niñas Arriba! college scholarship fund for young women in El Salvador.
