  Brandy gave excellent service!!! Everyone made the experience enjoyable, their hospitality is worth coming back for also the prime rib egg rolls. The food however, if you like flavorful food I’d recommend going elsewhere. If you love bland meat this is perfect!

  This was brunch. I honestly did not like anything. Quiche was bland and just tasted like spinach. Potatoes were tasteless. Omlette was ok. More time seems were spent on the deserts than the rest of the food. Selection was minimal. It is McLean after all.. but I expect more at 50$ a plate. It felt and tasted like the equivalent of a wedding buffet. That kind of selection and food quality. Like I wonder if these are caterers they contract and bring in. I will say service was very good. The only redeemable quality of that brunch. Other than the tiny creme brulee, which was good.

  Went with family and friends. Server polite but messed up the orders. Salads did not come out until after our meals arrived. Another server delivered the dinners and randomly placed them in front of diners so we all exchanged meals as an opener. Friend ordered a rib eye steak medium that was well done except for a spot in the very center that was slightly pink but not juicy. After several cuts he showed us a med-well to well done steak. Probably 80% of steak was gray and cooked throughout to well done. Called the server over and advised of the over-cook, and server noted the one red med-well piece and advised that it was, indeed, medium. Manager had already been over once to apologize for delay to deliver our salads until after meals arrived. One salad order was wrong, but they were comped so we didn’t complain further. Server attempted to gain favor by shaking all of our hands after dinner…awkward! For over almost $300 dinner tab, we were disappointed. Another in our party lives near and frequents this place…he, too, apologized.

  First time eating here with family that lives in town. The potato chip blue cheese appetizer is so addicting. We had calamari nice and crispy with good side sauces and everyone enjoyed their steaks. Most of them were a little overdone from the requested order but still good flavor and tender. Lots of sides to choose from, poblano au gratin potatoes, baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, mushrooms in truffle butter were amazing. The service was friendly, but they seemed a little busy and slightly delayed in ordering overall was a lovely dinner for the 10 of us.

  Came here for an anniversary dinner after looking at the menu and reviews and it exceeded our expectations. Caesar salad: excellent presentation and perfectly crisp fresh ingredients. The Aussie lamb rack was incredible; as tender and flavorful as a steak. Ribeye was cooked to perfection and seasoned so well no sauces needed. While the atmosphere was nice and has a business vibe it still suited well for an anniversary dinner mostly due to the excellent preparation and quality of food as well as the exceptional service. The host welcomed us with a card and complimentary gift and our waiter Chis was outstanding. He expertly guided us through the menu including selection of drinks and perfect dessert choices. He gave us space while being friendly and helping create a very enjoyable experience. Will definitely be back again and was worth the trip! Highly recommend.
