What do you order? I agree it’s a fun casual atmosphere, but I’ve been several times and it’s nothing special.

I like their haddock sandwich and chopped salad. Good restaurants don’t have to be fancy or haute cuisine.

Well, it is NOVA. What do you expect?

There are people in nova who think places like uncle Julio’s is quality Mexican food

There are people everywhere who think that.

Pupatella.

Trummers
L'Auberge Chez Francois
Ambar
The Inn at Little Washington (too far?)

Others that I frequent: Trattoria Villagio, all of the Great American Restaurants

I personally am meh on these frequently mentioned ones:
2941, The Restaurant at Patowmack Farm

The Goodstone Inn & Restaurant, Clarity and Incheon are on my list to try sooner than later.

2941 is sterile atmosphere. Food is ok I guess but I never understood the appeal.

Are you talking about Carlyles in Shirlington, that used to be called Carlyle Grand?

If so I would have to agree, excellent food there and also at almost every other GAR restaurant.

Probably not in the same class as all the bougie DCUM stratosphere but good eating nevertheless.

Ada's on the River in Old Town.
Virtue Feed & Grain isn't bad (also in Old Town).
Cedar Knoll, down the Parkway towards Mt. Vernon - if it's nice, you can sit outside overlooking the river.

These really expensive restaurants have disappointed us because the food is often no better than many less expensive restaurants. But they do offer decor and service, but the prices are beyond the food quality.
