The Sesame Chicken was super crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I think by far, this one was my favorite dish. I also ordered the Crispy Chicken Bao and this was phenomenal. The way the spicy mayo complements the sweet and sour cucumber was scrumptious. The service was so friendly and attentive from walking in to sitting down. The owner (Angela's mother) was super sweet! The decorations are super cute and authentic. If you're looking for great Chinese-American cuisine with an elevated twist and an amazing ambiance, I highly recommend giving Songbird a try!

I wasn't super impressed by how our food came out, I had a total mixup with my entree - which was resolved quickly - but even with the correct salad, I was thrown off by how sparse the Artie's kitchen is compared to the other restaurants in the chain. I got the Mango Chicken salad and had the equivalent of 1 chicken tender cut up in the salad. It's odd to pay the price of a salad with a full serving of protein, but then to be kept severely lacking. If you do come here, just steer clear of the Mango chicken salad. Great location, I appreciated how there's sufficient parking available. I wouldn't choose to come back

The place's vibe seems to be somewhere between a local pizza shop and a rundown upscale restaurant. That said, our food was fantastic.

We also overheard the waiter for the table next to us ask them if they could pay their bill in cash, which seemed to be a strange request

Our server, Colin, started things off right by offering us their Tangy BBQ Chips on the house. They were really tasty and had just the right amount of tangy BBQ flavor. Colin also did an outstanding job taking care of us throughout the meal. He was attentive without being overbearing, which made for a really enjoyable experience. I went with the Cowboy Ribeye Burger with truffle fries. The burger was delicious! The shaved ribeye and creamy horseradish really set this burger apart from your typical burger. The truffle fries were a little too oily for my liking, but they had great flavor and were nice and crispy. And because I'm a sucker for cheesecake, I had to try the Mountain Berry Cheesecake. The portion was HUGE and absolutely delicious. Portion sizes here are generous across the board, and we had plenty of leftovers to take home. Lazy Dog also brews its own beer, so naturally I had to try the Liquid Blanket IPA. It did not disappoint--good hoppiness with hints of citrus and pine. I'll definitely need to come back and work my way through some of their other house beers. Overall, Lazy Dog exceeded my expectations. Great food, generous portions, a massive menu, house-brewed beer, and excellent service from Colin. With this much on the menu, I'll definitely be back to try something else!

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 tap list is thoughtfully curated -- solid East Coast beers from up and down the coast, nothing random or just filling space. You can tell the owner cares about what's on draft and keeps it rotating with quality in mind.

Everything hits that casual, shareable vibe without trying too hard. Great neighborhood spot for beer people who also want good food.

Decided on this little spot in Fairfax town center after having a quick weekend day trip to DC. Really pleasantly surprised with the whole atmosphere of the place. It's a true fusion of asian bites but still a legitimate dive bar. The space is small, patrons are merry, and the whole place is an absolute vibe. I ordered some pilsner and some other lager on tap from local breweeies. Delicious. Ordered popcorn chicken, pork belly, and some 'real food' - a quick rice bowl with chicken. The fried bites were wonderfully crispy. They have good oil management and felt quite light especially with a swig of a cold lager. The rice bowl was tasty too. Construction was indeed very Taiwanese, and yet... I still felt like I'm in a dive bar complete with all its grunge. So cool They sell 4/6 packs of craft brews here too. They've got stuff all the way up from some Vermont and Maine (true craft beer land IMO)
