    IBrussel Sprouts & Lentils
    Marcus D.

    Another great meal. Selected a lite option after a big lunch and the Brussels with lentils was perfect. Besides the food, love the atmosphere and the service is always fantastic. Anna took care of me and was kind to go over the many new dinner options! Try this place!!

    Silver Diner is one of our breakfast/brunch staples in the area. You usually can count on good food and service. Well Usually you can. At this location the service was so-so. The food was good though and the traditional diner atmosphere was alive and well. For breakfast if you are limited in options, this is a safe bet.

    Food is delicious. Always a variety and new items on the menu. Service has been consistently good. Ambiance is very casual. The resturant is very popular.

    Every table has a functional jukebox. For $0.25, you get to listen to songs from 60s to a few present

    Stumbled upon this spot after my son's appointment and him craving for a patty melt. A 50s style feel with a small jukebox placed at every booth. For $0.25, you can choose from a small select playlist ranging from 50s to current hits. The service was fast and friendly and the food was prepared perfectly to order. My son really enjoyed his meal and listening to some oldies. He is already asking to return! Enjoy!

    A solid diner experience in the Merrifeld area. There were a lot of cute aesthetic details, such as the jukebox, dining booths, and sleek retro design. The food was alright, and the service was quick. A great option if you want to feel a bit nostalgic!

    Philly Steak Omelette
    Holly A.

    I've come to silver diner since I was child along with my father. I was sad they didn't have the chocolate banana French toast that we used to get. However, this time I decided to try the Philly omelet with potatoes and a side of fruit for some sweetness. I was not disappointed. The omelet was amazing and the halal ribeye it was made with was well seasoned. I was surprised when I found mushrooms hidden in their which added a little saltiness. Everything went well with my piping hot coffee

    Lots of plates and bowls of food just left there with no one serving them.... smdh ‍

    The beginning of this dining experience did not start off very well. First it took a while to get our order in and waited a while for our food but eventually we got it. My son got the tomato bisque. I didn't even know he knew what it was. He said it was good but not as good as Medieval Times!? ‍ He got his soup early. I didn't get my soup & side til he got his main course. The Yukon Gold mashed potatoes were fair but could have used some more flavor via butter or bacon! The crab and corn chowder was flavorful but not much crab (more crab juice) and a lot of corn. There was a hint of spice but the crab meat was missing. My son's flat iron steak (ordered medium rare) looked great with bleu cheese and butter topping, side of yukon gold mashed taters, fried crispy onion strings & sautèd spinach with garlic. When my son cut open the steak it was grey. Over cooked. Medium well. I had to alert our server. He showed it to the manager who showed it to the head chef. He made a face and shook his head. After 8 mins, my son got a new one with an apology from the server & manager and a coupon for a free entree next time. He cut it open and red/pink juice spilled out. It was a perfect medium rare. He ate the entire steak. He said it was juicy and flavorful. We also noticed (we had a good view of the kitchen & line) that the head chef cooked the steak. So what started off as a swing & miss was made up with a home run.

    Silver diner continues to be our lunch spot. Their healthy section of the menu has a good variety of protein, salad, and sandwich selection. The lemon chicken piccata was flavorful. Portion size was on the smaller end, we ordered dessert to fill up our tummy. Service was fast, given lunch time on weekdays, there were not a lot of people to start with. The restaurant is clean, each table has a real juke box for customers to play music the old way. Will come again!

    Serving size was good, coffee & pancakes were good as well! everything was a 10/10 , staff was also friendly & always came to check on how we were doing

    Fish and Chips
    Andrew G.

    I ordered the fish and chips for pickup. The wait time was 30 minutes, which was no problem at all. My order was ready as promised, and I asked for malt vinegar, which they promptly provided. You can see from my photo that this is a very substantial meal. Three fillets, a full Caesar salad, a small side of coleslaw, and a small portion of fries. The fish was absolutely outstanding, as was the Caesar salad. The coleslaw was so small that they shouldn't have bothered. The fries were pathetic, a cold soggy mess. My recommendation: This entree is worth ordering, however, substitute the vegetables for the fries and choose something other than the coke slaw.

    Every table has one.

We have been coming here on and off the last few years and just recently came to eat a late brunch. The food took a very long time to come out and it was pretty disappointing in flavor. We had the breakfast burger which was just okay. The breakfast hash was lacking salt. The margarita was just so-so. We got the Sunrise bowl which was tasty and can be made without dairy. The Korean noodle bowl and the Korean steak is awesome. We also had the avocado toast which was decent. The breakfast taco was delicious and can be made dairy free. It is absolutely delicious with all the flavors coming together. It has eggs with roasted onions and mushrooms and sweet potatoes. It has since left the menu. We wish they would bring it back. The pancake is very good and can be served with coconut milk,dairy-free whip cream in lieu of regular whipped cream if you need to have it dairy-free. We love the Moscow mule that is made by the manager, Michelle. Their Thai peanut noodle bowl was very good. You can add your own protein to the plate but it makes it a little pricey but healthy. The desserts are all really pretty good: vegan/dairy free cookies and cream, and the vegan squash pie is delicious. The flourless chocolate cake was also delicious, not too sweet. We like the new espresso Martini. They can also make you a dairy free affogato, which is a scoop of their dairy free coconut ice cream with a shot of espresso. If you like coffee, this is delicious. Their shot of espresso is bold and tasty. This place has great options for vegan, vegetarian, gluten free and health conscious people. They use fresh and healthy ingredients.

The place is warm, with tons of TVs (in doors and out), happy people and solid food special during happy hour specials. Giddy'up! The spot may not garner a 5-star recommendation every time, but this evening -- for Happy Hour -- BAM, it hit on all the right notes. HAPPY HOUR HITS: Draft beers ($3 pints starting at 3pm) & small bites menu ($2 off).

Drinks from the bar took quite a while to arrive, and there was also a long wait for our food to come out of the kitchen. I ordered the chicken fajitas, and they were definitely the highlight of my meal--hot, sizzling, nicely grilled, and very flavorful. Others in our group also enjoyed the generous portions of wings, fresh salads, and the jambalaya, so the food overall was very good. The restaurant has a fun, energetic vibe, but it was so loud that it was difficult to carry on a conversation at our table. One other downside was parking. The lot is fairly small and shared with three different restaurants, so finding a spot was frustrating. I'd come back because the food was good and the staff was genuinely friendly, but I'd hope for faster service and a better parking experience next time.

The vibes were impeccable at 7 PM on a Wednesday, the bar was perfectly lit, had awesome purse hooks from underneath the counter, European tranquil EDM vibes playing, and service was amazing. Shoutout to Thomas!! I had read that it was best to have a reservation if you wanted to sit inside and that is absolutely true. This spot may be new, but word has definitely spread about the delicious and authentic cuisine with a mildly modern take that in no way distracts from the flavors and traditional options. By the time we arrived around seven, the only option was to sit outside or to sit at the bar. Outside looked really nice. A lot of people were enjoying their spritzes and looking out and watching the kiddos running on the turf, but I didn't really want to run the risk of mosquito bites so the bar it was. Plenty of openings, which was really nice and nobody ever rushed us to open up the spot for anybody else. I popped in with one of my best friends who had already stopped by once to eat with her family and had great things to say! And because her family is also Middle Eastern, I knew that I had to take the suggestion very seriously!! We decided to split a few appetizers or mezze. We were in a little bit of a cheesy mood so we opted for the cheese pita, the cheese rolls, the toum Parmesan wings and the halloumi cheese. Everything was honestly so delicious. We barely had anything left over and when I brought some wings to my husband at the end of the night, he was so upset he didn't have a full order because he loved them so much!!! I also enjoyed their apricot spritz, which is usually a brunch beverage, but it was really refreshing bubbly, and I enjoyed the apricot flavor which is so reminiscent of the Lebanese apricot fruit leather I would find in my cabinet as a kid. Just hit the right amount of nostalgia. My friend got the sunset spritz and really loved hers too. I took the Naja combo home for the hubby and he gladly took it to work with him and left with a smile. I can't wait to come back to this place, what a great addition to mosaic District!! I have no doubt this establishment will be tremendously successful. I look forward to bringing my family soon, and maybe on a Saturday because it seems like they do something special then!

As soon as we entered, General Manager Sam welcomed us like old friends. After we were seated, my wife asked if he had previously worked at The Dabney, and sure enough, that's where we recognized him from. It was great catching up as he shared what he'd been doing since then and how his dream had always been to open his own restaurant. Seeing that dream come to life made the evening feel even more special. The restaurant was busy (definitely make reservations), but we were able to enjoy cocktails while we waited for our table. My Grey Goose martini with bleu cheese olives was phenomenal and set the tone for the rest of the meal. We started with the Bison Tartare and the Ceviche. The bison tartare was leaner than traditional beef tartare, and the crispy chips added the perfect savory crunch. The ceviche was incredibly fresh and bright. For our entrées, I had the ribeye while my wife ordered the Dory. The ribeye was cooked perfectly--juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. My wife couldn't stop talking about how buttery and delicious the fish was. To finish the evening, we ordered the 100-Year Port Flight featuring 10-, 20-, 30-, and 40-year ports. Vertical tastings are such a fun way to experience how a wine evolves over time. The 40-year was absolutely outstanding, and the 20-year was another favorite. The 10-year was enjoyable but still showed its youthful character compared to the older vintages. The atmosphere strikes a nice balance between upscale and relaxed. The main dining room can feel a little tight when the restaurant is full, while the bar area has a few TVs for anyone wanting to catch a game. One thoughtful touch that stood out was the women's restroom being stocked with amenities like hair ties and hair clips. We noticed they also offer a tasting menu, and after this experience, that's already on our list for our next visit. Between the outstanding hospitality, exceptional food, excellent cocktails, and welcoming atmosphere, Evelyn Rose absolutely earned five stars.
