Silly me... I forgot my credit card on the table. After an evening of dancing I went to pull out my credit card for a gas purchase and found my error. Upon arrival at the Cast Iron, Drew called me by name & pulled my credit card from the cash drawer. Was I ever relieved. Integrity... a character trait that will ensure my loyalty. Not to mention an inviting atmosphere, great service & food with a depth of flavor. Thanks Cast Iron

This was by far one of the worst dining experiences we've ever had. We decided to get a table…read moreoutside as it was a nice evening and we had our dog with us. Our waitress seemed friendly enough as she engaged in conversation with us about our dog and asked if she could have a milk bone and we said . She went and got water for us, which came in a nice bottle, but was then served with two nasty plastic cups that had spots all over them and chips around the rim. It took a while for her to come back around to take our drink order but when she did, we ordered specialty drinks, my husband got the Southern Jam which, after one step I could tell by the look on his face, he was disgusted by it and I got the mocktail Farmer Tan which was spicy and hard on my throat, I guess it was the chipotle. We weren't super hungry so we only ordered appetizers. We got the melting pot fries and the hot shrimp and crab dip. I guess they're trying to be unique by using Chick-fil-A fries because that's exactly what they tasted like and you could barely taste the truffle or the Parmesan. The shrimp and crab dip came out and was a bright orange. It almost looked like it was supposed to be a buffalo dip. We've never seen any type of crab dip like this before. It had absolutely no flavor. We couldn't taste any crab it's only big chunks of shrimp, but again after three servings of it, there was no flavor and it was impossible to wash any of this food down with the nasty drinks. There were three other tables filled while we were outside, and the sun was beaming down. One of the customers got up and tried to turn the fan on with no luck. It didn't work and it seemed like the waitress had disappeared. We didn't see her in a while. I'm finally I had to go to the bar and ask for the check myself once she came out with it. My husband gave her his card and when she came back, we discovered that we had been rung up with someone else's bill, which was $30 more than ours. I then went up to the window again, and the bartender was ringing up somebody else so he couldn't help me and told me that the waitress would fix it. She then came out with the correct receipt, but we still had no evidence of the the wrong charge on our card which my husband checked his account and had already been charged for. So I went back up to the window again and asked for a receipt showing that the credit was made or avoid or something, and the waitress was getting flustered because she didn't know how to do that and had to call someone else over to help her. They said they've avoided the transaction, but couldn't print anything out showing it just said the charge has been made so now we have to monitor our account to make sure that this was indeed credited to us. After having a horrible food experience, and then being charged for the wrong bill, we will never be back here again. Oh and we never got the milk bone for a dog either. UPDATE: I see the owner has responded and I do understand how a bank works because I used to actually work for one. # 1) I have not been calling you. #2) The majority of the review was about the food, drinks and service. Get your facts straight before you do a public unprofessional response. All the more reason to not recommend this business to anyone. The right thing to do would have just been to apologize for the bad experience like any professional business owner which you're clearly not.

Our party of four dined at Denim & Pearls for the first time today-meeting halfway between…read moreWinchester and Nokesville. We all enjoyed the cheese board appetizer, followed by our varying individual brunch entrees. The shrimp and grits was heavenly as were the spinach omelette and eggs Benedict. Delicious Mimosas and Bloody Mary's quenched our thirst. We chose to eat in the very atmospheric cellar, though the ground level dining room, outdoor patio and rooftop decks were all appealing options too. Best and perhaps most important of all was the Most Excellent service we received. Drew took care of our every need in the most perfect way possible. He gave us time to chat and visit but remained attentive to our needs and keep the food and drinks coming effortlessly. Thank you for a wonderful meal and experience! We will be back!!!

We had a great experience at Denim & Pearls on a Saturday night! One of the first things we…read moreappreciated was how easy it was to get a reservation, which can be tough to find on weekends. The menu offers a wide variety of options, making it easy for everyone in our group to find something they enjoyed. The atmosphere was cozy, welcoming, and perfect for a relaxed night out. The highlight of our visit was our server, Drew. He was attentive, friendly, and provided excellent service from start to finish. He really helped make the evening enjoyable. Some table favorites were the pork belly and ahi tuna appetizers, the braised beef short rib farfalle and the bacon wrapped meatloaf (with local Whiffletree Farm meat). We'll definitely be back and would highly recommend Denim & Pearls to anyone looking for a great meal and outstanding service in Warrenton!

Some of the best specialty pizzas I've had! The Three Little Pigs in particular had a great,…read morelayered flavor, where all the ingredients worked well together. I'm also a big fan of prosciutto and arugula pizzas, and Licorice Pizza's version is my favorite. Somehow all the ingredients are arranged thoughtfully so the whole pizza can be eaten bite by bite, rather than getting large pieces of prosciutto or arugula that slide off. A drizzle of oil makes all the flavors shine. We were taken care of by Cheyenne, who did her best by us despite it clearly being a busy night. I appreciated her checking on the pizzas for us unasked when they took a little longer to arrive. She also had a great sense of humor that delighted our whole table. Despite the record-themed decor, something about the ambiance does seem lacking, although maybe I'm just remembering the way the Black Bear looked when I visited in the past. That's worth overlooking for such delicious pizzas. The daily specials and happy hour deals are worth looking into when planning a visit, too. Last thing I want to mention, I came here with my parents, who tend to get cagey at "hip" places, especially at bar areas that can get a little loud. They were totally on board with everything, and as locals I expect to hear them come back soon for more pizza.

Our pizzas took forever, again despite the restaurant being nearly empty. Food was not worth the price, they skimp on the meat and cover it up by loading it with whatever side toppings came on the pizza. Ambiance was okay. I don't like leaving bad reviews but hopefully someone will see this and the experience will be made better for customers.

Chili was so nasty that after four bites it was pushed away. They cleared it off the table without asking why it wasnt eaten or asking how the food was.

The fried fish and chips were a surprise. because of the amount of fried fish that was served. There was a generous amount of fried Cod with fries (chips) and a small amount of coleslaw. There was enough coleslaw served to make you hungry for coleslaw. The fish was properly fried and very hot when placed on our table. The fried fish had a good flavor. The Roasted Red Pepper Bisque had an excellent taste. If you like a bowl of Bisque, you need to try one at O'Brien's.

Over in the corner a group of musicians were gathered around a table performing traditional Irish tunes. Very much enjoyed that. I ordered their fish and chips. Overall, pretty tasty. I thought the tartar sauce was a bit on the thin side. My favorite tartar sauces are a bit thicker and creamier. Service was good!

We've had days of grabbing a drink and sitting around in their soft seating reading a book. I've only had coffee and I think it's a good, basic coffee. I like mochas and I believe they use Ghirardelli syrup for those. The mocha tends to skew sweet, which is fine with me. They're not very rich drinks. There are also a lot of other flavors, which I think are your standard syrups (they can be fine and so many cafes use them, but they sometimes are a bit artificial tasting.) The staff is always friendly and accommodating.

Nice conversation about soccer and families while we waited for our orders. Parents ordered macchiatos with cinnamon and hazelnut, and a dash of chocolate - fantastic flavors (not overly sweet with robust coffee flavors). Atmosphere: cozy. Plenty of places to sit in a room that would be great for conversations or get your introvert on with coffee and a book. We appreciated the signage (touch of humor). Located in old town Warrenton. Very charming location. This is a place I would visit frequently if I was a local. Highly recommend based on this visit.

They took it back to remake it correctly. In the meantime we didn't get any water refills the entire time every one was eating. We needed ranch and sauce but the server never came back after our food was delivered by someone else. Later my steak came out with no steak knife. So I have no idea if it was cooked right the second time. None of the servers would make eye contact with us so that we could politely wave them down for a knife so I could eat my steak. And our server still didn't come back. Also, unlike other steak restaurants where if they mess up your steak, so they bring you new sides to enjoy your meal all together, they only brought out the steak. 15 min after my steak was brought our server finally showed up. Everyone else was ready to go. So I asked them to take back the untouched steak and remove it from the bill. They did but no one came to apologize or offer any kind of recompense. Please enjoy the pretty picture of the steak I didn't get to eat.

But by the time we left, the outdoor seating was almost packed, so be safe and make reservations, if you can. The menu is amazing, so many options that all looked appetizing. I can say that everything we got was nicely made and tasted great! Their burger is definitely really good, you can taste the freshness of the locally raised beef. The bun and everything about it was really nicely done. Right now, they have a seasonal starter of pumpkin beignets which we got... they didn't resemble the form, nor texture of any beignets we've ever gotten, but they sure did taste really good! (We did have to wait quite a while for plates from our server so we could share them though) Their onion rings and fries are both amazing. The dip that comes with the onion rings is so very tasty! Sitting outside is beautiful, right on the pond and they have heaters to help take the cool off when it's chilly. We'll definitely return!
