Come here with a friend for lunch during the week. I was immediately greeted at the door and offered seating in either the dining room or the bar area. I chose the dining room. They put pickles on the table instead of bread. Yum! They were sweet and delicious. I ordered the cheeseburger medium with Gorgonzola cheese, tomato, and extra lettuce. Next time I'll try another cheese- so many choices! The burger looked a little red but was still delicious! The side kale salad was incredible and I'd get that again too. Service was perfect. I even heard him remind that I wanted extra lettuce. Can't wait to return! read more

This Capital Burger is all that! Soooo good, so plain, and so you think it is going to be missing something. It totally hits!! This burger doesn't lack in taste, I didn't miss the salad that comes on a burger. The Capital Burger is Burger 101; bun, meat, cheese, and grilled onions. Not a fan of onions or grilled onions? These onions are on for the ride, and don't even let you know they are there. The onions just hangout with the Gouda and they meet up the tastiest burger to create a work of burger magic. read more

The Capital Burger - The Capital Burger!! - Burgers Near Me - Reston, Virginia

The Capital Burger is an attached restaurant to the Hyatt. We stopped in here for breakfast on our first day of daycare for a nice date breakfast. We wanted to sit at the bar and do a brunch style engagement - but they had closed the bar area for some work - they had contractors coming in and out doing something. We were seated at a table. Social distancing was enforced. We placed out orders for a order of mimosa's, chicken and waffles, and fruit side with a burger. It was Meh. The waffle came out doughy and cold. We left it on the plate and told our waiter about it - and he had them make another one. It came out warm but still doughy. Some of the fruit was ripe and some was not yet and hard. I'm not sure if the experience we had was because we came when they opened, or because there was construction going on with the bar, or because they are light staff due to covid. If we are in the area again - we might try them for a lunch or dinner, but probably not for breakfast. read more

I'm here to right a review about one thing. Not clearing our plates after we were finished eating. Excellent ahi tuna nachos and generous portion. Devoured them. Fried calamari, excellent. Fried chicken sandwich was good, truffle fries good, could have been hotter. Everyone liked their food. Service: We must have been approached more than 5 times by waitstaff as for orders while our spouses parked the car. Approached many times (too many) to ask if we needed more drinks, etc. But after we ate, we sat there with our empty plates for more than 15 minutes and no one came to clear them. It was a small high top in the bar, so the table was very crowded. Tired of sitting with dirty plates, we left. read more

BEST BURGER I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE! There is no other way to start off this review other than stating what you need to know. Hands down the best burger I've ever had and my friend agrees because he had the same burger ... never in our lives have we had a burger that was so simple yet ingenious and oh so flavor packed that we literally said we need to come back weekly .... The Capital Burger is just that good and is what makes this review 5 stars! Every element of it is perfection! The fact that they serve deliciously spicy pickles as a free nibble while you wait for your food is what I thought I'd be raving about or the over the moon mini coconut cream pie mason jars they offer for dessert ... or the eggs and bacon deviled eggs ... or the flavor packed wings .... but nope, it's the BURRRRRGER!!!! Do yourself a favor and drop in and savor this burger because I promise you that the only thing you'll be mad at is the fact that you want to eat 2 but can't because you're full. read more

The Capital Burger in RTC unleashed a burger so well-seasoned, even my taste buds started a standing ovation. My patty was cooked to perfection--I haven't seen this level of culinary wizardry since my microwave learned to defrost. The smoked Gouda cheese fries? They're on a first-name basis with extraterrestrials, that's how out of this world they are. Sean, the bartender, not only crafts drinks but could probably negotiate world peace with an Expresso martini in hand. This place is so beautiful; I'm considering bringing a sketch artist next time. Outstanding food, stellar service--it's like the restaurant hired food ninjas and service wizards. Capital Burger, you're the Michelangelo of the culinary canvas! read more

Excellent customer service. Servers very attentive and helpful without being overbearing

One of the Best burgers in DC Metro. I've been to both the DC and Reston VA locations and the latter reminds me of The Pharmacy (burger place) in Nashville,TN, or the Burger Republic also in Nashville, TN. It's truly great to have this Reston location near my area since I've been mostly working from home for 9 months. The blue burger is my fav with parmesan aioli fries! Customer service was excellent and ambience is great with outdoor seating, perfect for social distancing. I also love my Riondi and followed by Justin Isosceles which goes very well red meat for its complex yet very smooth flavor! read more

Our first visit here, and we did takeout for my husband's birthday since he's a real burger guy. We each ordered the lobster bisque as an appetizer, and that was sadly on the bland "nothing to write home about" side. Only a tiny piece of lobster included, so it was mostly creamy lobster broth. I ordered the Capital Burger based on other Yelp reviews, and added some aged balsamic mushrooms to it. Cooked medium. Opted for the Brussel Sprouts rather than the traditional fries. It was excellent. Well prepared, the correct temp, good amount of toppings. The sprouts were on point - well cooked, some crispy leaves, well seasoned. My husband had the Cheeseburger with Vermont Cheddar, cooked medium, no acoutrements, with hand-cut fries. He really enjoyed it, and said it was perfectly cooked and flavorful. Although we couldn't get a sitter for his birthday, I tried to bring a special celebratory dinner home to him - and aside from the blah soup, it did not disappoint. I even liked how they fancied up the faux silverware (plastic; see pic) and rolled it in a nicer paper napkin that looked like the real cloth deal. We had been here before when it was Tavern 64, so we know the outdoor patio will be a nice spot on a less humid summer evening sometime soon. I'm looking forward to coming back and sitting outside, trying a cocktail or two from the menu, and going back for another Capital Burger. Yum! read more

This restaurant was in my hotel and I arrived late and starving. Wow. This was unexpectedly wonderful. I'm sure part of the reason was because I was starving --- had not had lunch. Bacon Swiss burger and truffle fries. Juicy, meaty, perfectly cooked and messy. Fries salty but complimented the non-salty burger just fine. The sweet pickle slices in a jar on the table were a perfect crunchy complement. Dessert was a chocolate mousse cake in a jar that was dark chocolate and not too sweet. Server was fantastic. Had a glass of Cabernet. Comfortable booth. Place got a little noisy near the end. I wish I had a photo of that burger, after all, we had a brief relationship LOL. read more

Service had little interest in doing anything, food came at wrong then came out correct but cold. The GM that came and spoke to us was extremely rude. Would never recommend this place. read more

Delicious salad for a place known for their amazing burgers! As much as I would have loved to had a burger I decided to go with something lighter like a salad. I'm always hesitant to order a salad with fruit because I just tend not to like it, but this salad was delicious! I really enjoyed the dressing, which was light yet super flavorful. The salmon was perfectly cooked. My coworkers said their burgers were very good. Highly recommend! read more

When I saw that the Capital Burger had occupied the spot where Tavern 64 once was, I figured that we would give it a try come spring time. After all, when a new restaurant opens, they need time to get their act together. Well...on a Saturday night around 5 p.m, we set out thinking that we would give North Italia another try as I wanted to do that before doing my review. Much to our surprise, the place was full and there was a 45 minute wait for a table. 45 minutes? For North Italia? Ummm...no. Then we saw Capital Burger, and hesitated since it had only been open a matter of days. It was raining out and we didn't want to wander around looking for a place to eat. So...off we went. When we got there, we were greeted and told that we needed to get our name on "the list" for a table. We went to the host stand and were told it would be about 20 minutes, and we agreed to wait. Much to our surprise, the bar was very crowded and filled with people in wedding clothes. Plus all the tables in the dining area were full. Our wait turned out to be 15 minutes. At that time, several tables and the bar had cleared out. Our server was prompt getting to us. We mentioned how busy they were. She told us that a party of 40 people showed up looking for Tavern 64 as they had a reservation with them. They were told about Tavern 64's demise and Capital Burger agreed to accommodate them. Apparently,the person who made the reservation didn't bother to call Tavern 64 to confirm----not good. We had tried Capital Burger in DC and it hadn't fully lived up to expectations but we did see the potential was there. We decided to start with drinks. I had a mezcal margarita while my husband (much to my surprise) had a stoli doli. My husband ordered the Capital Burger which consists of: "French Onion-Style: Caramelized Onions, Wisconsin Grand Cru Gruyère, Shallot Aioli". I ordered the Bacon cheeseburger which consists of: "Candied Smoked Bacon, Vermont Cheddar, Tomato Jam". Both of us had fries with our burgers. Each table has a small jar of house made bread and butter pickles. We both ordered our burgers cooked medium. The burgers came before the drinks. This happened to us at the Capital Burger in DC (ahhh...deja vu). The burgers were properly cooked. I was impressed with the generous amount of bacon in mine. Both burgers were juicy and flavorful. For a new restaurant, we were impressed at how well the burgers were prepared. We both liked the house made pickles---and that's saying a lot as we really aren't fans of those type of pickles. When we finally got the drinks, my husband's expectations weren't met. He told our server that he expected a sweeter drink. She explained that they make their own pineapple vodka by letting it sit 9 days with pineapple rinds in it. She offered to have some pineapple juice added to it, but he declined. My drink was on the strong side but otherwise well prepared. We do plan to go back. In time, they will fully work out the kinks. They are off to a good start, however. The staff is friendly, patient, prompt and knowledgeable when it comes to the menu. read more

We came for lunch on a Saturday, right at 11am when lunch service starts. We were on our way to someone's house, and I had skipped breakfast in expectation of early lunch, so we weren't looking for a "European style" relaxed service on this day, which means I probably didn't make the wisest selection for our lunch, but hubby was really jonesing for a "gourmet" burger. Service was incredibly slow, especially given that the restaurant was nearly empty. My husband saw our food sitting waiting to be picked up for several minutes for each course as well, and we're not really sure what our server was doing besides just wandering around and chatting with other staff. The server was formal and polite, but like I said, we really didn't want to just sit around and suck up the stuffy ambience that day. If we were doing "date night" it probably would have been ok. The good news was, the burgers were great. He had the Capital burger (caramelized onions, gruyere, some kind of aoili), I ordered the bacon cheeseburger (candied bacon, tomato jam, Vermont cheddar). Both were really good, mine was better because I am a sucker for tomato jam. My first Asian fusion burger I ever had years ago had tomato jam on it, and I've had a soft spot for it ever since. Hubby agreed, he would order mine next time. But his was really good too - you can't go wrong with either one. Both 5/5 burgers, where I just like one flavor better than the other. We had the deviled eggs w/ candied bacon appetizer. They were pretty good, maybe 3/5 but not amazing and not quite what I was expecting, so I probably wouldn't order them again. I was actually expecting bits of candied bacon atop or mixed into the egg/mustard creme - but the bacon came separately in a glass, and I wondered if it were perhaps leftover from the brunch service as it was not freshly cooked but was cold and hard. The "candied" part wasn't as obvious as I would expect either. The filling was more tart than usual. For sides, hubby had fries and I had a caesar. Hubby thought his fries were really good. The caesar was fine, but the lettuce was just on the ok side of being a little too old to serve... at a less fancy establishment. At Capital burger, I want my lettuce to be full on fresh. All in all, I'm rounding up to 4 because the burgers themselves were REALLY REALLY good 5 star burgers. The rest of the experience was more 3 star level, not up to Capital Grille standards. We'd come back but only if we weren't in a hurry. read more

The burgers are great. The wings for appetizers are so good and their cocktails love them.

Came here on a Tuesday night (10pm) got in on a late flight and there wasn't much open and I was looking for a convenient bite while staying at the Hyatt. Burgers aren't my "go to" usually but I was starving. Got the mushroom burger with a kale salad and was impressed, the salad hit, and had a Asian style dressing that was pretty good paired with the burger, which I didn't expect. The meat for the burger (medium-rare) was cooked perfectly and the truffle sauce with the mushrooms on top was the perfect choice. My server was attentive and straight to the point, which I loved since I was so hungry. I would definitely come back for a burger sometime. read more

Best burger I've had in a long time. Unique and flavorful pairings. Customer service was great as well.

I'm typically not one to frequent or recommend "hotel lobby bars and restaurants" but in this case, I don't mind making a positive plug for Capital Burger - in the lobby of the Reston Town Center Hyatt. The other night, a buddy and I were looking for a really late night bite (9PM on a Thursday) and Silver Diner, Glory Days, Jackson's just weren't cuttin' it for us. Yelp came to the rescue once again - reminding me that I had been wanting to try this place. And being open till 1AM, we still had plenty of time to head over. We walked into the restaurant - the main dining area was sparsely occupied but the bar area with its high top tables and NHL playoff games up on the tv screens was the more lively (not rowdy, lively) vibe we were looking for. We grabbed an open table and were greeted almost immediately after sitting down. Service was excellent throughout the late night even though it got crowded later into the evening. I ordered the Red Chili Glazed Chicken Wings $12 appetizer for my meal. My companion ordered the Capital Burger $20 which comes with fries which we shared. He asked to sub in Parmesan Truffle Fries which our server was happy to accommodate (ask for them extra crispy / well done!). My buddy also ordered a Salted Caramel Hand-Spun Milkshake for $7 and I got a cold glass of the Downright Pilsner draft. That was really all we needed to satisfy our late dinner craving. Everything we ordered came out timely, piping hot out of the kitchen, fresh and SOOOO GOOD, DELICIOUS. Quality ingredients. The burger was big, plump and juicy. The wings were meaty, portion size for an app was large and the glaze was truly finger lickin' good! Realllllly liked the all around dining (bar-ing) experience and ambience here. Pluses: * The place didn't give off cheese-y hotel bar vibes - it was nicely appointed, clean and inviting. * Service was prompt, pleasant and efficient - including our waitress not forgetting to check back in with us on a regular (but not pesky or pushy) basis - just enough for us to know she didn't forget about us if we needed anything. * Open super late and centrally located in Reston Town Center - not a lot of options for late night casual dining in Reston, sadly. * Not super crowded - remember we came on a Thu around 9PM - so a pre-weekend late evening - but still not insanely crowded for a hotel bar and not any of the loud obnoxious behavior that you typically see with those need-to-be-seen-ers at Jackson's or Cooper's Hawk (annoying!). Can't comment on how crowded this place gets on the weekend (Fri or Sat night especially) - I would imagine it ebbs and flows mostly according to how busy the hotel is with events or conferences - ? * A decent menu of not just your average ordinary bar fare - hamburger specialties (the burgers are decently big) and a twist on classics like the Red Chili Glazed Wings and Parm Truffle Fries. The menu (see my pic) is focused and limited - there aren't a ton of menu items to choose from but what they do offer seems carefully curated and created. We were happy with everything we ordered and would order those items again - but would also come back to try new things. Will report back here when we do. * A decent value for the price WITH A CAVEAT - read on. You'll pay a bit more than Glory Days. More along the lines of Jackson's, Cooper's Hawk or Sweetwater. Flavors, portion sizes and taste/quality were all spot on. (The only menu-value-ding was the milkshake - at $7, though it was thick and creamy, for the money, the size was super small - like a looooong sip and POOF your glass would be empty - so imo not worth the price, even at 7 bucks.) HERE'S THE CAVEAT ON VALUE - I saw in the posted pics of the menu that there's been a steady rapid increase in prices of their menu items. Even an increase from just 7 months ago! This is being seen allllll over the place - even at McDs and Chipotle - so this is nothing new. Just something to be aware of. Eating out is downright expensive! I'd say we got decent value for the late night meal we ordered but a $20 gourmet burger is probably at the top end of my price tolerance - I just hope prices here don't continue to climb and that portion sizes stay large and quality of the ingredients (they tout their burgers are made with a proprietary beef-blend - they definitely are juicy and tasty, that's for sure) stay high. There's really not many places like this in Reston, believe it or not. Recommending Capital Burger for all the late night positives it delivers, right in the heart of Reston Town Center. read more

Capital burger... I've heard many places claiming to have the best burger, but few can actually measure up. I think Rolling Smoke in Las Vegas comes in a really close second. However, Capital Burger wins this competition because not only is their burger phenomenonal, their service and ambiance is spectacular, but then again it's DC... Service was exemplified by Sarah's professional care while waiting on us. Overall, while in the DC area (Reston town center, VA), stop in and enjoy the magnificent service and delicious food. Oh, don't forget to ask for extra napkins! read more

Connected to the Hyatt Regency Reston. We came here early afternoon for a quick bite and ended up so full. It wasn't busy yet. We were seated quickly. I ordered the Hot Honey Margarita from the Happy Hour menu. It was ok. Definitely had a spicy kick but bland. We ordered calamari appetizer and it was tasty. A little greasy on the plate but not heavy. We split "The Capital Grille's Ribeye Steak sandwich". We were warned by our server that it was not slices of steak in the sandwich but an actual entire whole steak. But it came split in two and the ribeye was so tender and delicious we didn't need to cut it up. Highly recommend. It go busy quickly as the work day ended and the bar area filled up with people so it became quite lively. Dress ranged from casual to business attire. It was a nice atmosphere, not stuffy or pretentious. Would definitely be back next time we're in Reston. read more

I've been wanting to try Capital Burger for a few years now, since they opened the first location in DC and today was the day! I stopped in to the Reston Town Center location and sat at a hi-top in the bar. The bartender, Jonathan was my server and took excellent care of me. He allowed me to try a wine before buying it and made some great suggestions, which I went with. He suggested their calamari and over course, I gave it a try and I'm glad I did! It was prepared perfectly, definitely not over-cooked and it had the proper texture. The cherry peppers in it offered a great zing to the appetizer! Their house-jarred pickle was the only disappointment... it was bland and tasted more like cucumber, as it might not have been "pickled" very long before being served. But, wow, it's a thick cut cucumber! Their bacon cheeseburger was OUTSTANDING! It was prepared PERFECTLY! Temperature was unbelievably PERFECT! Fries were really good too, especially seasoned in their truffle parmesan style - YUMMMM!!!! They have a very nice wine list with plenty served by-the-glass to match burgers and to allow you to enjoy a glass with lunch. The place is nicely laid out and big enough to accommodate larger groups. I definitely look forward to returning soon!! read more

This is one of the best burgers I've ever eaten, sitting in a close Top Two, with Raoul's in NYC. To be honest, I was shocked with how delicious the patty was. The thickness, how perfectly medium-rare, and the flavor are unmatched by most, if not all restaurants. Even the bun was delicious. I ordered the mushroom burger and I'd happily order it again. House made pickles are brought to the table as a complimentary appetizer. I ordered a pot of tea that was never empty. The brussel sprouts had excellent flavor and were cooked perfectly, with soft centers and crispy yet slightly charred leaves. They were not drowning in the balsamic dressing either, offering just enough flavor without being over-powering. I would go back and order these just on their own. Then there are the truffle fries... worth the extra charge. I cannot find a single thing I would change here or ask for improvement on. Capitol Burger truly offers the capital of all burgers! I look forward to coming back. read more

Every time I visit the town center, this place just calls to me. The ambiance, the service, and the food are all tip notch. Not sure if I mentioned their pickles before but they are homemade and DELICIOUS. I hate bread and butter pickles but whatever recipe they're using- it's totally different than what is sold in stores. My fave are the sliders at Happy Hour- you have to order the exact number that you want. They definitely sell them by the slider. A burger meal from here is almost the exact price of one at Wegmans in Reston. You'd appreciate this one much more- trust! read more

The service there is terrible. The waiter was really cool, but we had got seated at a table and ordered me and my friend ordered truffle fries and a basic plain burger with no cheese just Pattie and bun. I asked for well done and my friend asked for medium well and once we got it mine ended up being more pink and the bottom bun was wet and red. The worst part was after we ordered six minutes later 2 people sat down next to us and got there food before us we watched people finish there meals and leave but we didn't go to another place cause there wasn't to many other places and we thought it would be good. Also because we didn't have a car at the time and it was freezing outside I really don't recommend this place even if your staying at the hotel go somewhere else down the street.every other place is way better you can trust me on that. I can't tell if they treated us different because we're teens but overall terrible place. read more

We ordered 3 cheeseburgers for takeout today. The website said I could pick it up at 11am so I ordered it for that time (our visitors were catching an international flight and wanted an American cheeseburger before flying out, hence the early time). I came at 11am to pick it up and someone came out and informed me that it would be another 10-15 minutes because they turnover the kitchen at 11 so you can never pick up lunch food at that time. I'm not sure why the website would offer an 11am pickup time if that wasn't actually possible - and I'm not sure why they didn't call or email me after they saw the order was placed for a time that couldn't be accommodated. They eventually came out with the food at 11:20. Most disappointingly, the food was not great. The meat was not seasoned at all, all 3 burgers were slightly underdone, and the fried eggs that were on two of the burgers were overdone. We've had good experiences with capital burger before so we're hoping this was an anomaly and will happily update if we decide to try again. We also hope they'll update their online ordering system to reflect accurate pickup times. read more

Fantastic burgers! The brussel sprouts and chicken wing appetizers were really good as well. Highly recommend! I wish I had pictures to share. read more

Giving them 2 stars because the food was good. The service was very poor, we had to wait for so long before somebody could come and take our order. The way the server was leaving (loud banging without asking whose order was it) the stuff on our table was very rude...need to train the staff to be more courteous. The staff was not even making eye contact with us...forget about asking us if we needed anything. Not going back to this place again. Probably they get enough business from room service and don't need walk-ins. read more

Love Capital Grille and have been waiting to try Capital Burger so finally got around to ordering carryout during Covid. Lobster and crab burger was one of my go-to sandwiches at CG and I haven't had it in quite some time so had to go with that. Rib eye steak sandwich, Capital Burger, and a kids cheeseburger fills out our choices. Not disappointed...everything was delicious...burgers are flavorful and the toppings are top notch. The kids burger is definitely on the small side but good nonetheless. Nice addition to the Hyatt in RTC. Hope it lasts for the long term. read more

Love everything about this place. The bartenders are fantastic, the cocktails are perfect, the wine selection is great and oh yeah... THE BURGERS ARE UNREAL!

Recommend you go, have a cocktail, the order the burger with a nice glass of red! You will not be disappointed... read more

Visited The Capital Burger on a Friday night so was definitely busy, however there was open seating at a high top by the bar. We ordered the brussel sprouts as an appetizer and they were amazing! Cooked perfectly and the sauce on them was excellent. I ordered the vegetarian burger for dinner with the truffle fries, which were both also great. Lastly, ordered a salted caramel milkshake, seriously may have been one of the best milkshakes ever! Overall the food and the atmosphere were great, hence the 4 stars. The only downside was the service, our original server kept disappearing and so we had about 4 or 5 different people help to bring us something between our food or a drink refill (had to ask a couple of different people/times) then someone else brought us the check. read more

Excellent burger! I wasted time reading reviews. Just go, you will love it. Super juicy burger. Only thing that would make it better is if they had true hand cut fries, cooked twice, but I went for the burger. Service and location were great! read more

The Capital Burger - Burgers Near Me - Reston, Virginia

I've always wanted to try their first location in DC. Mom life got too busy and we weren't able to venue to the city often. I became very excited when I found out they're opening another location 10 minutes away from me! This location is wise. They're open for breakfast, lunch, happy hour, and dinner everyday (weekends included). Yes! This is wonderful for families and patrons at Hyatt. The price point is also more affordable compare to The Capital Grille. If you like quality meat and food, but at a family friendly price tag, this is the place of you. My husband and I arrived 10 minutes before 11 pm to check it out. The bar and surrounding tables were still packed at that time. Service was good, not exceptional. Our server did forget the grapefruit soda until I asked. He took that item off the bill so that was appreciated. The grapefruit soda was really good. I like the subtle bitter taste of the grapefruit, along with the sweet and fizzy additions. I ordered the capital burger and my husband ordered the truffle burger. Both burgers have quality meat and were cooked medium rare as requested. I couldn't finish my capital burger as it was too salty. I felt bad considering the burger was $17. The vinaigrette for the kale salad was delicious and the lobster bisque had a good amount of lobster chunks. Even though the burger didn't wow me, I am excited to return and try other dishes. read more

My second time to eat here. The reviews are so complimentary I'm always excited to try it. It's just ok. Maybe I'm just a "smash burger" style guy and these aren't that.

Keep in mind, I visited during the soft opening. I have heard great things about The Capital Burger in D.C. but never dined there. So I was interested when I received an invite to the soft opening. The restaurant is nice but connected to a hotel, so it looks exactly like any hotel restaurant/bar I've ever been to. Dark wood, high tops, central bar. Nothing special. However, the waiter was more like those at The Capital Grille and was very informative about the limited menu choices for the soft opening. You can tell they take training their staff seriously. On the meal... we had a choice of starter to share and decided on the grilled wings. They were small and a bit too saucy. I'm a wings girl but these really weren't that good. I would not pay $10-12 for them. The 2nd course was a chicken sandwich for me and bleu cheese and truffle burger for my dinner date. This is where the service goes bad. Someone came by after 30 minutes with the wrong order looking confused. It appeared our waiter or the kitchen messed up. The manager came over and apologized but it took another 30 minutes to get our food. All in all, the sandwiches were okay but not anything special. The side order of Brussels sprouts were doused in a sweet sauce and overpowered the dish. We got another drink but opted out of dessert. I would definitely go back after they are open a few more months to try other items and get a glass of my favorite Stoli Doli. Despite my issues, I will say the staff tried hard to make things right while being very friendly and welcoming. read more
