We opted to sit outside for dinner which was perfect because it was a nice and comfortable temperature outside. We started off with fried green tomatoes which were pretty good. For entrees, we ordered the crab cake with a corn mixture and potatoes and a shrimp pasta dish. These were just ok. Service wasn't the best either. Our server was nice but it took a long time for him to follow up. Not sure why because it didn't appear to be busy. It could have been an off night though.

Very good customer service, especially by the management team and they were very present and made sure that I was enjoying my experience dining there. The ambiance was very relaxing and not noisy or chaotic. I really appreciated that because that is hard to find nowadays. Also, the table was set well and it was very clean throughout the dining area. I had their Roasted Wild Mushroom and Swiss Burger. It was very good. I loved that they use Pat La Frieda beef for their burger patties, the mushrooms were so flavorful from the balsamic vinegar, the Jarlsberg Swiss cheese had a nice mild cheesy touch, and their truffle aioli was the best savory sauce to complement it all. 9.5/10 for the burger and 10/10 for the customer service. I definitely will be back soon.

We had a half cup of clam chowder with it and a side of truffle tries. 5/30/26, we're back...5-6 people. However, we ran off to down the street. It was great either way to build a little appetite.

Yummy! Bella was our server and cordial. There was a mix up on delivery but the next table and us cracked up laughing.

Fresh and warm, they had a crispy crust and a soft interior. They resembled mini ciabattas and were scrumptious with the butter. The salmon en croute blew me away! It was of the best dishes I've ever had. The salmon melted in my mouth, and the puff pastry was still crisp. I loved the flavorful sauce; it made the dish even better. The steak frites were just ok. The steak was cooked to my preference, but it was bland. The fries were amazing, though. Crunchy yet fluffy. I wish the steak came with a sauce, like the one served with the salmon en croute. The service was good overall, and they were attentive. The ambiance was lovely - cozy and romantic. I can't wait to come back for the rolls and the salmon en croute, and to try their other dishes! Highly, highly recommend La Bonne Vie!

Upon our arrival, we were seated near a window overlooking the sidewalk where we were able to watch people passing by while enjoying our candlelit meal. 10 out of 10 for atmosphere at this charming and cozy table. The service was prompt and attentive. We started by enjoying a few of the craft cocktails, which were simply wonderful and the product of a talented and adept bartending. If your idea of a good cocktail involves slush or machines, this is probably not the place for you. I enjoyed a dirty martini, as did my youngest daughter. My oldest daughter enjoyed a French 75. All lovely and all perfectly mixed. I would return here if nothing more than the cocktails! For starters, my daughter shared the Pate De Campagne, which consisted of country style pâté, cornichons and toast points. They loved it! My wife enjoyed the Salad Verte and I loved the Roquefort Salad. Both salads were simply marvelous and went well with the freshly baked bread. On to the main event! Fo her entree, my youngest daughter had the Roasted Cornish Hen. She had never had Cornish hen before, but this particular rendition made her a fan of the dish. Perfectly cooked, juicy and savory. My older daughter enjoyed the Salmon en Croute. The salmon was perfectly cooked to the correct temp and the pastry was spot on. A lovely dish and one I will try on our next visit. My wife and I each devoured the Chicken Paillard. This is one of those dishes that is so simple, but the lemon butter knocks your socks off. If it wasn't such a lovely restaurant, I might have licked my plate. Yes....it was that good. I ate every last caper! For dessert, we shared a portion of the luxurious pistachio cheesecake. An excellent ending to an amazing meal. This charming restaurant is a jewel in the heart of Herndon. I highly recommend it for your next special occasion. We look forward to returning soon!

I thought I had updated my review last Thanksgiving... but no. This is the second year in a row…read morethat we had our Thanksgiving dinner here. Since it was just the two of us, it was much easier to go out for dinner. Ruth's Chris offers up a Thanksgiving dinner on this day as well as its usual menu. For drinks, I had a blueberry mojito, which was quite good. They do a good job on this drink. My husband had a Michelob Ultra. The dinner starts with either the soup of the day, a house salad, or a Caesar Salad. We both opted for the house salad. It was a good mix of veggies with a balsamic vinaigrette dressing. The portion was generous. However, I wished that they had put a bit more dressing on it as it was on the dry side. Next up, was the main course which consists of turkey breast, stuffing, gravy, a bit of cranberry sauce plus your choice of veggie. We both got the garlic green beans. The turkey was tender and moist. The gravy was flavorful, and a generous amount was given. The stuffing was mildly flavored. The bit of cranberry sauce added a bit of sweetness to the entree. Dessert was pumpkin cheesecake with a small cup of vanilla ice cream on the side. The cheesecake was presented as a very small pie. One thing that should have been done---a spoon needed to be given, as we ended up using our forks to eat the ice cream! We were pleased with the portion size as it wasn't too filling. Instead, it was just right. Overall, we enjoyed our meal. Service was excellent. We were greeted and seated immediately. All the staff we interacted with were friendly and efficient. The manager came around a couple of times to ask if we were enjoying our meal. Our server was attentive without being overbearing. The ambiance was cozy, like a steakhouse. We always feel comfortable dining at Ruth Chris. We most certainly will return for Thanksgiving dinner!

This was a business dinner and when we first entered I was amazed at how big and beautiful it was inside. The bar area was large, oval, and really upscale and nice! They also offer valet here, which is helpful given the area, it's tough to find parking! Our server was great! She offered many good options, offered up very helpful insight, and did a great job keeping an eye on our table. Their wine list is large, with so much to choose from, whether Italian or New World - They have a nice selection of bottles! They even have their own label (not sure who makes it) which I tried and it was decent, but we opted for something else. It was tough to select a salad, an appetizer, and an entrée, as we wanted to be able to eat everything and there was so much to choose from which looked so very appealing on the menu. I started with their arugula salad and it was excellent! Such a simplistic salad like this has to be made with fresh greens and this definitely met that mark! I did ask for a side of balsamic to drizzle a tiny bit in - but it really didn't need it. Dinner consisted of their braised short rib - AMAZING! So very tender and flavorful... YUMMM!!!! A nice balance of flavors, sweet and savory in this dish. Their pasta menu looked so very nice that I wanted a pasta too, so prior to the mains, I split their smoked chicken pasta with a colleague and that dish was crazy - so smokey and flavorful! The pasta was spot-on al dente too! Definitely a rich dish, creamy, flavorful, and very powerful - but tasty! We were all too full for dessert, so a couple of us just chose some Sambuca to sip as we ended the dinner and that was great, served perfectly chilled with the coffee beans. Highly recommend giving them a try, I'll most definitely return!

However, we were disappointed by the strict policy regarding outside wine. We were prepared to pay a corkage fee so we could enjoy a bottle we had brought for the occasion, but the manager explained that it was a firm policy set by the owner and could not be overridden. While we understand the need for policies, a bit more flexibility for special occasions would have gone a long way. Overall, the experience and food were very good, but policies like this can impact repeat business. Parking nearby is somewhat of a walk. Alternatively, valet parking is available at the nearby JW Marriott, which may be more convenient. I think the restaurant may have its own valet parking although I did not see it being offered the day we came.

There is lots of seating in the outside patio as well. They do a lot of themed events almost every night = burger night, trivia..! There are free line dancing lessons offered by a cool instructor. The dance floor is a pretty good size and fills up. The service was poor- I had to hunt down our server Cory three different times. He kept forgetting the lemons for our salmon dish and waters despite his saying lemons coming right up. We asked his assistant who brought out the entrees and salads for the same - he came back after 6 minutes with a tiny slice of lemon for 4 people, then ran away! The food was average. I ordered a bowl of the Potato Leek soup for $8 and was looking forward to it. Out came a bowl maybe a 1/3 full ( literally five soup spoonfuls). I asked Cory if that was a mistake or a kid's portion and his hilarious response was classic, " Oh we are precise. We measure the soup with a serving ladle and only put this much so it won't splash or spill." The salmon add on (for $10)on the house salad was so so. I was on the floor cracking up. $32 plus tip average per person and I was still hungry. I will not be back for the food. Definitely for the dancing in my new Stetson El Presidente Premium 100X Hat. It looked like fun.
