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.

If you don't know what to get-- Get the broccoli caesar and chicken thigh!!!!!! Picasso - grapefruit honeydew melon lemon rosemary: 8/10 bc too much ice but flavor is good. Tiki baby- pineapple lemon lime sage cardamom 6/10: a little too sour but first taste was delicious. Porto cooler- raspberry scrub, lemon 7/10 a little too much wine flavor but I'm a sucker for a good raspberry. Rigatoni bolognese: 6/10 too salty and maybe a little under done but still a solid bolognese. Grilled chicken thighs: 10/10 hints of curry and soooo juicy best thing by far. Bastian meatballs: 6/10 jus average meatballs nothing crazy but still good. Broccoli caesar 9/10 very very delicious and refreshing. Corsican frites: 8/10 good sauce it was like a thick creamy sauce and I love fries soooo. French onion soup: 4.5/10 too salty and the sourdough was built in but we wanted it separately. Vinegar potato chips 7/10 good garlic aioli sauce. Cacio el pepe: 8/10 the noodles were soooo yum and I love the consistency.

We were lucky enough to…read moresit out on the patio, enjoy some great weather, and have an outstanding dining experience from start to finish. Our server, Maria, absolutely made the night. She was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and struck that perfect balance of checking in without hovering. Great service can elevate a meal, and Maria did exactly that. The food was excellent. The paella was delicious, the patatas bravas were flavorful, and both the pork belly and bacon-wrapped dates were standouts. The sangria was also fantastic and paired perfectly with the meal. Now, I've had Spanish food in places where it's a little more authentic and refined, so this wasn't necessarily the best Spanish food I've ever had. But considering we're in Virginia, Barcelona absolutely exceeded expectations. The quality of the food, the atmosphere, the patio setting, and especially the exceptional service combined to create a five-star experience. If you're in Reston and looking for a memorable dinner, Barcelona should be at the top of your list. Ask for Maria if you can she is fantastic.

If you have ever liked a French Dip anywhere else, you MUST try this one. I've also had the Waldorf Steak Salad....again, very tasty. The burger was also really good! The place can get crowded at lunch, but even when crowded -- I've been seated quickly. The staff are very friendly and open to make recommendations. Last, there's not bad seat in the house. All the seats in the dining room are booths. This place is a must!

My go-to order is the Paella Veracruzana with horchata to drink and it's TO DIE FORRR. I can't find another spot in this area that sells paella for under 55$ so I consider it a steal. Super flavorful and they don't skimp on the seafood. 10/10 recommend Also want to add that the rice isn't dry, theres a nice creamy broth that gathers at the bottom. There are a lot of toppings involved in this like chicken, sausage, calamari, shrimp, peas, scallops, mussels, a big block of creamy cheese, a grilled lime. A little bit of EVERYTHING and its so fire. Truly an underrated gem that I feel more people need to know about and I could eat this every single day. My chosen death row meal

Almost 100% of the customers are Latino; I felt a bit of a misfit being there. Additionally, service was very poor, where the lady who placed our order took forever to take our order, bring the food and give us the check; she also never really checked on us, nor refilled her water. She was on her phone and sitting at the tables. The place def has a vibe - it has hookah, and drink deals for those that want it - but it's extremely loud (where you can't even talk); I literally was texting to communicate with my party. This place has potential but needs work (if they want to reach a bigger audience).

The ambiance inside is casual-classy. It is a good place to eat with coworkers or for a first date. The service was really good as well. Our waiter did a great job presenting our drinks and pouring the matcha lemonade. He made thoughtful recommendations and was very funny too. The food also was high quality and moderately priced. The miso eggplant was a nice sized appetizer for sharing and was seasoned nicely. The chicken ramen was also the perfect amount of spicy, had a good ratio of noodles to broth to vegetables, and was presented well. The dishes paired well with the matcha lemonade, which was aesthetically presented, had a subtle sweet lychee flavor, and was perfectly balanced. I've been to other Jinya's and this experience matched the quality and service of the other times. I'd definitely recommend coming here if you're craving ramen!
