I was only going to give this place four stars because it is not super high-end, but the more I…read morethought about it, the more they truly deserve five stars for the experience that we had. It was super packed on a town center concert night. Found two seats at the bar and were served right away. Bartender was extremely helpful and recommending a couple glasses of wine, which were spot on, a little pricey, but at least they were good. I had a Riesling and my companion had a Chardonnay. Ordered some type of tuna appetizer and it was awesome. Also ordered the fried zucchini sticks, but they were mediocre. Then we got a shrimp scampi type entrée and shared it, and it was excellent. Had a nice time and the atmosphere was great!

Nice location right at the center of Reston Town Center. We came for father's day dinner…read more For appertizers we got the ALBONDIGAS, BACON-WRAPPED DATES, and TUNA CRUDO. -The Albondigas which are the meatballs, are really basic miniature meatballs in a marinara sauce. -The Bacon-wrapped dates: literally what the name is, there were three dates wrapped in bacon with some cheese. -The Tuna Crudo: very nicely seared flavorful tuna chunks with a green sauce with pineapple and cucumber chunks. Overall, the appetizer portions are VERY small. For the main entrees, we got SPICY SAUSAGE PIZZA, BRAISED PORK PAPPARDELLE, CAMPANELLE, CABERNET BURGER, ATLANTIC SALMON, and RAINBOW TROUT. -Spicy Sausage Pizza: it was a spicy sausage pizza with some fancy cheese grated on top. -Braised Pork Pappardelle: The noodles were al dente and there was a tomato based sauce. -Campanelle: the white sauce was a little bland. The noodles were al dente. -Cabernet Burger: the patty was very flavorful and juicy. Would recommend this. It came with fries. -Atlantic Salmon: The salmon was topped with a tomato sauce, personally I would have prefer no tomato sauce as it really overpowers the salmon flavor. Under the salmon was some lettuce. -Rainbow trout: this does not come with a sauce on top like the salmon and so is able to maintain a bit of crisp to the skin. Overall, all the food we had here was mediocre. Nothing stood out. The location and ambiance is great, so it's nice for a get together, not for foodies - not recommended.

This shop can be easy to miss next to the Weird Brothers in the same Sunset Park Plaza. The…read moreparking is limited amidst the other local businesses. Nevertheless I never had an issue when I went. I thought the ambiance was very nice. The seating is cute and when you order "for here" they serve you in a very cute mug. I've had the red eye and the coconut chai. I didn't know this until after the fact: the coconut chai does not include coconut milk only coconut flakes. The baristas were nice about the misunderstanding. Bonus: The bakery offers physical loyalty punch cards. Ask for one if you are a fan of your drink!

Hidden gem alert! I've been coming back to Le Vingt Trois Cafe & Bakery, and it never disappoints…read more I love taking my time here and truly savoring my coffee and food. The space is unique and cozy, filled with romantic decor that makes it feel like home. The food and pastries are just as amazing as the atmosphere. I tried their rose latte, topped with delicate rose petals. It was so pretty and uniquely flavorful. I've also tried their pesto poulet sandwich (baguette, pesto chicken, tomato, green pepper, and mozzarella cheese) and it was super yum! The chocolate hazelnut pastry is a perfect companion for the coffee, and you can ask for your pastry to be warmed up, which is even better. Bonus: they serve the coffee in a cute mug, which is such a nice touch. Love when I can have my coffee in a mug! Employees are nice, and the service is great! Plenty of seating and parking is easy. This café is perfect for a relaxed morning, brunch, or an afternoon treat. I am already planning my next visit!

Had eaten half before I remembered to take a picture. They do have online ordering (which I didn't use today but might speed up the line.) That said, I've been before with friends for lunch and was less impressed. Floors and tables were pretty dirty by midday, and my salad had some moldy leaves. I've heard similar commentary on lunch from others. Overall, highly recommend for pastries and coffee!!

Didn't have the strong flavor profile as I would have thought.

La Madeleine is a great spot to get together for a healthy meal.  There are…read morea lot of choices and options and everything is quick and easy when you order at the counter.  It is nice to be able to see all the food which can help make your decision.  I chose a combination of a Caesar salad and accompanying lentil soup and fruit salad.  You can choose any three to make your own combo but I enjoyed all of the three options I selected.  Mine was dished out right away but if you have to wait, you just take a number, find a table and they will bring your food to you.  There is a self-serve water and utensil/napkin area with free bread slices if you would like.  The space has both large and small tables.  We had a meeting with 8 people and we fit easily and had no problems hearing each other as the restaurant was not overly noisy.  La Madeleine Reston is easily located and there is a very big parking lot right out front.

Reliable and consistent for a casual French-style café…read more The coconut cake is moist, simple, and clearly on the sweeter side--good if you want something indulgent. The crème brûlée is smooth and rich, also leaning sweet rather than balanced. Drinks follow the same pattern: creamy, mild, and approachable, with the whipped cream version noticeably more dessert-like. Warm atmosphere, efficient service, and fair pricing. 5/5 within its category--predictable, satisfying, and well executed for what it is.

The one blip was when we first entered, the young-ish man at the host desk looked at us with a "What are you doing here?" grimace. I was stunned since the hosts are usually very happy to see patrons come in. Beyond that, though, we had a lovely time. Our server was quite friendly and got hubs customized Cuban order just right. I had the killer tomato basil soup and tasty grilled cheese. I also got an order to go of the Buffalo Chicken wrap. It was yummy the next day for lunch. We hadn't been to NYAJ's in years. It had somehow fallen off our dining radar. We'll be back more often after our recent terrific dinner.

The chicken dumplings where served in a citrus soy bath, so sour on the taste buds it made me pucker. Additionally, upsettingmy stomach all night. Suggestion put the sauce on the side. They also lacked the crunch associated with dumplings. No sure if they were not cooked or the citrus soy bath damped the experience. The Waldorf Salad was as expected. I subsituted a different chicken option. The people experience was a 5. The food experience is somewhere between and 2-3 stars. I have had better at this location.

This hidden gem shines brighter than my tita when she hits a high score on the karaoke!…read more Solid spot for quick, vibey, Filipino eats. Side note: don't go here thinking you're about to get some traditional Filipino dishes. Come with an open mind and an empty tummy! You'll be pleasantly surprised. The space is spotless, easy on the eyes, and perfectly cozy - minimalist décor with just enough charm to make you want to stay awhile. There's plenty of seating for the whole fam (yes, even all your titos and titas). Only one kind gentleman was running the show during my visit, and let me tell you - he handled everything like a pro. Even with our big order, everything came out quickly and with a smile. Bonus points for the snacks, ready-to-eat treats, and vending machines to hold you over while you wait. But honestly, the food is worth every second. Now let's talk about some of the eats: * Ube waffle: light, fluffy, and just the right amount of sweet - the powdered sugar and ube syrup complemented the flavor instead of stealing the spotlight. The chicken tenders were well-seasoned and paired well with the waffle. Whole plate was aesthetically pleasing and delish! * Lumpia: absolute fire. My only regret? Not ordering a mountain of them. * Longanisa breakfast sandwich: solid and yummy, but I wouldn't write my lola about it. Egg cooked to perfection though! * Silog breakfast bowl: oh. my. GAWD. Flavor bomb! The garlic fried rice, tender pork, egg, and peppers all danced together like they were meant to be. I'd come back just for that bowl - and the lumpia, of course.
