    I'm not going to ding 'em on service - they recently opened and I always feel like it takes time to work out the kinks until smooth sailing. I'm grading based on atmosphere and food. The food was not impressive. Tuna carpaccio was way too saucy. The fish was fresh but there was just too much going on. The shrimp cocktail was fine/average. I didn't try the steak but didn't hear any complaints. The atmosphere was a let down. Interior design is one thing that should be heavily invested in if your goal is to come across more upscale. Here, it looked aged and the bar area + dining area clashes a bit too much in terms of color and overall seating arrangement. It makes the place look small and awkward. I live in about a 3 min driving distance and was looking forward to putting an American food restaurant in rotation - hopefully it improves over time when it comes to food at least.

    We really enjoy supporting new local restaurants and we're excited to try Town in McLean. Granted the place has only been open a few weeks so expectations were adjusted. Busy Friday night, had reservations, was able to find parking in their lot and seated on time. The restaurant has a cement pad, front and center, where two high end cars were on display in front of the entrance. Our waitress seemed extremely frazzled and was very distracted. I ordered a smoked old fashion, which is on the menu, and waited over 15 mins before ever seeing the drink. The old fashion was very good; however, was missing the black cherry as listed. The appetizers were the highlight as the quality went down from here. Fried mozzarella was presented in an iron type skillet and was quite tasty. The pupusas were cheesy as well and very good. I overheard the owner tell a customer that the pasta dishes had recently been added to the menu. I ordered one of them Cacio e Pepe. So disappointed in this dish, barely warm, severely undercooked and lacked the peppery punch you want in this entree. The burger was decent but not memorable as the lower bun was soggy. To close the night, the bill was presented slid inside a book: Short Stories to Spark Diversity Dialogue. Regardless of which way you lean, this was strange. The book still had the discounted price sticker on the backside. As if they went out and found a box of throw aways at a bookstore. The night was very odd, felt rushed at times, and unprepared. It's unfortunate because it's a great location and has a fantastic local vibe. If Town plans on making it, more time will need to be spent on the restaurant and in the kitchen, rather than at the discount book store.

    What a fantastic addition to McLean, VA. In the immediate area it was only J Gilberts which has noticeably declined in quality across the board. This is a really nice atmosphere, American style fare for the most part, clean, warm, comfortable and white tablecloth ambiance. Really nice bar. Parking is available yet tight as evening goes on, nice service, good menu (not great amount of options) , above average prices. Food was delicious- very well done. Quantities are moderate. Big upgrade over nearest competitor however and look forward to trying more options going forward- hope they can add some seasonal specials/menu options.

    Cyndy's Bottom Line: Great place for food & drinks especially the espresso martini! *Walk ins welcomed *Reservations on OpenTable *Great space and ambiance *Parking lot available, and street parking *Bar area with two big screen TVs +Newly opened so we stopped in without a reservation and was seated promptly. This is what we ate/drank: +6671 Manhattan -Rye whiskey, sweet vermouth, bitters, dark cherry *Stirred and served on the rocks with a single block of ice. +Espresso Martini -Tito's vodka, espresso, coffee liqueur, simple syrup *A well made espresso martini with the right proportions. Garnished with three coffee beans floating on the foam (representing health, wealth, and happiness in Italian tradition) and served immediately to enjoy the foam. Great presentation with a dome of dry ice. Divine! +GRILLED WINGS -(8) grilled wings with shaved carrot, celery,house blue cheese, and house ranch and a choice of sauce: Virginia Peanut, Sorghum BBQ, or Tangy Buffalo *Great to have grilled wings, nice char on them and the sauces were tasty especially the tangy buffalo. +CALAMARI -Squid tentacles and rings, crispy fried with artichokes and peppers, served with lemon aioli and sweet chili sauce. *Love the calamari. Perfectly fried and not oily. Seasoned well and the sauces were flavorful m. +CARPACCIO -Thin-sliced ahi tuna topped with jalapeño, red onion, cucumber, avocado aioli, crispy shallots, ginger, micro cilantro, and a drizzle of 5-spice caramel. *Fresh and rich high grade ahi tuna. The toppings work well to add good flavor profiles. +Friendly and great customer service from Brian. We had a good experience dining here and will return. +Highly recommend

The pumpkin dumplings and pan fried veggie filled dumplings were great as well. I thought my salmon wrap and the chickpea side was ok. Interesting flavors for sure. As for the service, there was always someone filling up our waters and our waiter was very nice checking in every now and then. The only downside of the experience is at the end when the waiter was boxing up all the food for us. Very sweet that they do this but when boxing up my partners food, they only boxed up the rice and they got rid of the lamb that he was looking forward to eating more of later. So that was kind of a disappointment for us. I think if we go again, we would request to box our food ourselves since I'm not sure why they decided to get rid of all of his lamb.

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.

The vibe was…read morenice, but I felt like service fell below what I had expected. 3.5/5 First and foremost, parking is either self parking in the garage for $8 or valet for $3. We had a family event of approximately 36-40, and 4 waiters to attend to our party. I think it would be better if they split the waiters by section- I felt it was disorganized - I had to ask for the drink menu 3x and waited 20 minutes. They also took our dessert order but then my mom and I never got ours- but the waiter said he brought everything out (there was nothing served to us), and he did eventually bring it out about 25-30 min later when we were leaving. It seems like they bring around the meat selections speedily for about 30-45 min (it's like one immediately after the other) and then it's finished- so make sure you get the selections within those first 30-45 min. But they did bring some meats back when people asked- so that was nice. The ribeye and filet were the best, I'd skip the chicken- super dry. Desserts were average to subpar. Cosmo was watered down but the espresso martini was good! I think I'll try again as just a smaller party/regular dining guest and see how that goes. Overall, felt like it was ok but room for improvement. Service was the biggest thing that overshadowed the experience.
