    One of our favorite Fairfax restaurants. Everything is always great food and service. Good variety on the menu, but I wish there were more non-seafood items. Great gluten-free options for those that need it. Cocktail menu could use some more options.

    Highly recommend you get Ozzie rolls if you can, they're a highlight to our meal everytime. The service and food are always amazing. Serive is attentative and kind. The food is alway cooked to perfection. I've been here several times and have never had a poor experience. Due to their wonderful service and food, they are pretty busy so I recommend getting a reservation.

    I had an excellent experience at Sweetwater Tavern thanks to our amazing waitress, Lilian. She was friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome from the moment we sat down. She anticipated everything we needed without us having to ask and made great recommendations. It’s rare to see someone who genuinely enjoys what they do Lilian’s positive attitude really stood out and made our meal special. Thank you, Lilian, for the outstanding service!

    The ribeye steak was unfortunately very tough and seemed overcooked. The texture was chewy and parts of the meat were burnt, which made it disappointing. I expected better quality for the price.
