    I really love CAVA!!! Personally even more than Chipotle. The portion is very generous with the same price, and toppings have more variety and fresh. This location was big indoor and outdoor and pretty clean. The food took longer than usual, but not too long. If you get food and take it to their outdoor seating, you will be able to feel a little bit of Europe with the nice breeze :) There is a plenty of parking spot shared with shopping mall so the location is great as well

    I rolled in here right at around 8pm and there was only one other customer in the restaurant. This made the ordering process fast and easy! I pretty much already knew what I wanted which is the same thing that I normally order. That would be the pure deliciousness Greek salad! Theirs comes with grilled chicken which is a rare thing on this type of salad, but I think that it definitely adds to the protein. It also has tzatziki, hummus, tomatoes, and interesting cucumbers. The crumbled feta cheese and Greek vinaigrette are really what make the salad so addicting. The employee behind the counter was great and he certainly knew what he was doing when he prepared this. There was also plenty of seating available inside so I decided to eat my meal there. Great food!

    Haven't had cava in a min, decided to come through today to get a my fix...saw they had steak so I decided to try that and I definitely regret it and FUUUUUCCKKKED UP ON THAT DECISION... DO NOT GET THE STEAK IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT SEASONING IS YOULL LIKE IT, steak was trash no seasoning or flavor it was dry AF.. $22 for trash now I remember why I don't come here..

    Love getting a generously loaded bowl of healthy deliciousness full to the brim! There are lots of options to choose from with the base (rice, lentils, greens), dips and spreads, hearty protein, toppings galore, and flavorful dressings. You really can't go wrong here and can easily double over for another meal. Quite a feat to conquer a bowl and glad mission accomplished! My go-to DIY bowl: Flavorful Saffron ice, lentils, spinach, hummus, roasted eggplant, crispy falafel, shredded romaine, feta cheese, corn, tomato and cucumber salad, pickled onion (1/2 serving size), crunchy pita crisps topped with garlic. What I skip: lemon herb tahini, roasted red pepper, and full serving size of pickled onions. The lemon herb tahini is quite subtle and the flavor gets lost with all the toppings while the spicy roasted red pepper is very bold and overpowers the bowl. There's always an abundance of pickled onions and request 1/2 the serving size. This Cava location is a bit more compact and hard to social distance with other customers at my heels. The staff rushed through my order. I prefer ordering at the McLean location on Chain Bridge Road. This isn't the best grab and go location. A redeeming factor of this location is the nice outdoor patio seating, which is quite rare at Cava. Would come back to enjoy a sit down lunch!

    CAVA is amazing! Healthy and delicious food prepared by very kind staff. 10/10 experience, highly recommended! Everything on their menu is fantastic, I highly appreciate everything they do!

    I love Cava but this one was NOT your usual Cava. Dirty. Wilted greens. Too much sauce. Workers with masks hanging on the neck.

    Mezeh is generally one of the more consistent fast casual spots in the area in my opinion. I like…read morecoming here since they uses olive oil for cooking rather than seed oils, and because they're open later and are less crowded than the in-mall restaurants. They also say they don't restrict toppings/sauce amounts and historically, that has been true. The last two times I came to this location, I had negative experiences about the toppings/sauces. The first time, I only got one scoop of hummus because I got distracted while ordering. When I came to the counter to ask for a scoop of tzatziki, the woman at the counter asked how many scoops of the dips I had gotten. I answered honestly that I only got one, and she gave me tzatziki but warned me that they're supposed to charge if I already got dips earlier. I didn't want to argue even though I was previously told I could have as many dip scoops as I wanted. The next time I came, I asked for a second scoop of eggplant (which was clearly almost out and they gave me a very stingy amount in the first scoop). Even when they give a generous scoop, I've never been denied an extra scoop of these toppings. The employee said he would have to charge. From everything I see online, Mezeh's policy about toppings hasn't changed, so it's just employees at this location acting shady for no good reason.

    Really enjoyed my time at circa!…read more Before coming, I perused the menu and knew that I wanted the chicken paillard. It was something I'd never heard of and looked like it had Angel hair pasta, arugula, and the chicken looked interesting. It looked fried, but not in a typical way. So when I got my meal, I was so pleasantly surprised at how delicious the chicken was. It was a light crispy, airy texture to the skin. And the pasta was delicious - so good. It had mushrooms and sweet peppers along with the butter sauce. Thoroughly enjoyed it! I also ended up getting a mocktail which was a spicy faux margarita. Not bad! It had a nice ambience for groups, and our server was super helpful. He made a lot of good suggestions and made sure to check on us. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you're in the area and looking for a nice dining experience!

    After 5 years of happiness with Circa my joyful experience came to the end with their decision to…read morechange their menu. I hope they monitor reviews and will hear my grievances. I understand that you can't as a restaurant work on the same menu all the time,but they take away almost all staples and replace them with something very questionable. So far I tried 2 items and both were with major issues. First I tried Grilled trout entree and trout was bland with nice farro side . Whole dish seems underwhelming and had a lack of bonding sauce or flavor profile to make it a dish. Second time I had Salmon salad and this was not good at all. Salmon itself was perfectly cooked as a medium rare on my liking and champagne dressing in mixed greens was good. But I salad had cold and slimy potato pieces and big chunks of blackish marinated onions,it was hard to eat and even unpleasant. I'm really disappointed,because Thai shrimp salad was absolutely best salad in DC area as well as other very popular dishes from old menu. Please bring back Thai Shrimp!!

    Coastal Flats in McClean is a fantastic spot for a casual yet delicious meal. Every time I visit,…read moreI'm impressed by the quality and flavor of their dishes. The spinach dip is a must-try creamy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. Their salads are fresh, generous, and packed with tasty ingredients, making them more than just a side. And the crab cakes?

Service is friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, perfect for lunch or dinner with friends or family.

Carlyle is our go-to (11/10), Mikes American is wonderful (9/10), and Silverado (10/10) never disappoints. But we'll never visit Coastal Flats ("CF") again. CF was pretty busy so we ordered quickly: a CF lager, a cocktail, the community bread basket, the fritters as an appetizer, crab cakes, and a grilled chicken & havarti sandwich. Based on a recommendation, we REALLY wanted to try the fritters appetizer. Unfortunately, our entrees came out after the bread basket and we never had a chance to try the fritters... our multiple servers (their operating model) totally forgot about it and we never received the item. The butter for the bread basket was half liquid when we received it. The chicken sandwich was bland. The lager wasn't anything special. Crab cakes were as good as they should have been... for the market price of $36. But how do you totally forget about one of our orders? The staff tried to fix this by offering a free round of drinks or a dessert, but we already had enough to drink and the limited dessert menu only has three items. Hats off to the staff for offering, but with so many servers/staff constantly buzzing around and checking every table, why did this even happen? Nobody is perfect. Well, Mike's American, Silverado, and (the AMAZING) Carlyle are close. Compared to those restaurants in the same portfolio, Coastal Flats in the Tysons Mall is unbecoming of a Great American Restaurants establishment. We were disappointed and won't return. We suggest to everyone who has invested the time to read my review: go to any other of the Great American Restaurants, but SKIP Coastal Flats at the Tysons Mall as they might SKIP putting in one of your orders.

I got the spicy pork soup dumplings, because I love spicy foods. The soup was savory, but I wouldn't consider it spicy, perhaps my tolerance for spice is a bit high. My wife hadbthe beef soup which was very good, the beef was very tender. My daughter had the crab meat and pork soup dumplings. Everything was very savory and full of flavor, I just wish my spicy pork dumpling had a kick to it, perhaps putting some chili crisp on the sidez but I would prefer a really spicy soup inside the dumpling. Service was fast, which was impressive given this was their soft opening. The ambiance is that of a food court, but 2 of the vendors are not open yet so I think once all the vendors are open it will become more of a bustling food hall.

Walking in, the bakery is up in middle and left & Dumpling District is to the right. Towards the right, 3 order kiosks. Or you can order in front of their menu board. My son and I were looking for a snack so we got Chicken Fried Rice & an app of Garlic Cucumbers. Took 10-15 mins to get the food cause its made to order. Thats a good thing. The fried rice came out hot and fresh. The chilled garlic cucumbers in a plastic reuseable take away box. First the garlic cucumbers. It's basically sliced cucumbers with garlic, sesame seed oil, pinch of salt and cilantro. Not a whole lot of flavor but it is cold and refreshing. Missing sour, sweet, spicy and salty. I asked for chili oil. It helped a bit but not much. 6/10 The chicken fried rice looked good. Some veggies like diced carrots, shitake mushrooms, shallots, bean sprout and slices of dry chicken breast. Again, nothing special. No wok hei and not a lot of seasoning of flavor. Although its better than a fried rice that is too salty. The seating area was spacious but not huge. It was clean though. Overall, it was kinda pricey. $15 for fried rice and $10 for cucumbers. This isn't a mom and pop shop so I expected more from a chain. Maybe chef had bad day but if this is the norm, there are better places to eat. Maybe should have gotten the dumplings? Saw the prices and cringed. Overall 3.5/5, not 3.
