We started out with some truffle fries and they were great, a must get. For lunch I had the Greek Falafel plate. Not only was the presentation gorgeous but it had a generous portion of hummus and tzatziki. It was full of crispy chickpeas to give a little crunch. The sweet peppers, rainbow carrots, and broccolini were roasted to perfection and full of flavor. The watermelon radish added a gorgeous splash of color and the feta spread throughout . The plate was served with a side of za'atar naan that was a burst of spice and completely complimented the meal. Then to top it off.... Beautiful flowers to add more color and elegance. The service was prompt and kind the entire time! Our colleague showed us around the place after our meal and the theme to me definitely is making people feel welcome and special. It's the little touches that matter, like the beautiful artwork extending from the first floor to the top floor in the stairwell. A cool place to work, collaborate, and be social offering various spaces to meet all your needs.

I was a guest at Sunset Cove on 07/10/2026, and my experience with the manager, Tabitha, was…read moreextremely disappointing. The property appeared to be having the grass cut that day, but there were no signs or parking instructions posted. Multiple vehicles were parked on the grass, and several cars, including mine, ended up blocked in. Instead of handling the situation professionally, Tabitha walked around the pool yelling for the driver of a white Toyota Camry. I drive a white Toyota Corolla, so I didn't think she was referring to my vehicle. She continued calling out "Camry" for several minutes before eventually shouting the license plate number and saying the vehicle would be towed. That's when I realized she was actually talking about my car. I calmly explained that the confusion was caused by her repeatedly identifying the wrong make of vehicle. Rather than acknowledging the misunderstanding, she was rude and dismissive. She told me that if I didn't agree with her, I could leave the pool. Mistakes happen, but the way this situation was handled was completely unprofessional. A simple correction or apology would have resolved the issue. Instead, I was met with poor customer service and an unnecessarily hostile attitude. I hope Sunset Cove addresses how situations like this are handled in the future and expects a higher standard of professionalism from its management.

This restaurant is very clean, cute decor, food was very good and the staff provided prompt and friendly service to include the groundskeeper/maintenance man who we asked to take a group picture. He eagerly agreed to take our picture. Can't remember his name, but did start with a F. Our waitress Michelle was outstanding! Currently only serving lunch & dinner on Wednesdays. They host weddings and other catered events. Soon will be having public themed events. I highly recommend this place!!

Great Spot to Hang Out & Chill…read more Conex RVA and RVA - River City Smash Burger offer a unique and beautiful venue with plenty of space to bring friends and family and enjoy a relaxing afternoon. The atmosphere is one of the highlights, with an excellent selection of craft beers and some great cocktails to complement the experience. On the food side, expect straightforward smash burgers and street food--nothing overly fancy, but satisfying and fitting for the casual vibe. Overpriced for the quality of meat and serving. Service can be a bit hit or miss, especially when the venue gets crowded, so don't expect the same level of attention during peak times. Parking can be a challenge if you visit on weekends. Remain resilient. Overall, it's a great place to hang out, have a few drinks, enjoy some casual food, and chill with good company.

It's a very nice venue, and pricing is based on lots of factors--day, time, length of event, space needed, food/beverage, etc. I'm looking forward to receiving my price quote to see the viability of having an event at Atlas 42.

On the way down from Northern VA to VA Beach, I decided to stop at Jolene's.

I can see this spot being a regular stop for any trips down that area.

There was parking available, but if you come late, you may have difficulty finding a spot. We entered the building and proceeded to the counter to check out what they offered. The staff were pleasant and patient in explaining the various wines and other beverages they offered. The ambiance was chill, as we had visited on a Saturday which also included a food truck onsite and live music. We settled on the nine-sample tasting which was only $20, a great deal in our opinion. It consisted of 3 whites, 1 rose, 4 reds, and one tasting at the end that we could choose the flavor: raspberry or peach; some chose raspberry some peach. There was plenty of seating inside and outside. There was an outdoor covering, in the event of inclement weather, which also housed a fire hearth, good for a fire roaring chilly night of wine tasting. There were also outside open seating with tables. We also noted that folks were bringing their own chairs, which was a good move given that the crowd grew the longer we were there. Our tasting was nice: we were given a metal tray that held our tastings with a paper under that identified each wine and also given a paper with a description of the notes of each wine. It was mix of dry and sweet red and white blends, which was good. We all had a favorite with one clear winner: the last peach wine of the tasting! You could also purchase wine by the glass, bottle, or to go, in addition to wine slushes. They also had snacks such as cheese, crackers, dried meats, perfect for making your own charcuterie board to nibble on with your wine. There were also folks who brought their own snacks. The food truck on site was Cousin's Main Lobster specializing in all things lobster. They had the traditional lobster roll, lobster grilled cheese, lobster quesadilla , lobster tacos, lobster bisque, etc. We ordered the traditional lobster roll with mayo (they also had one with garlic butter and one with Parmesan), lobster quesadilla, lobster tacos, and shrimp tacos. The food was ok, nothing stood out overall. The seafood was fresh and did lack seasoning, but overall, good. The winery also had local artisan items for sale such as jewelry, t-shirts, wine glasses, throw pillows, etc. We also saw that this was a family and dog-friendly winery as there were plenty of both there. The winery overlooked a lake, which was picture perfect. There was a duo playing music under an outside pavilion stage. All in all, a great afternoon sipping wine with friends and family.

Unfortunately parking is always a challenge because of reserved parking so plan ahead and come early if I have a reservation. Lots of steps leading up into the building but there is a ramp for handicap access. Kids were in town so we were visiting all our favorite places. Blue Atlas tapas style variety is always a hit with us. The only disappointment this time was the Elote dumplings. They were basically just corn gnocchi. Not a terrible flavor, but wouldn't bother ordering again. We started with some pretty fun cocktails, and a highlighted wine which I wish I could remember the name of...i think it started with N...It was a light bodied wine with mild floral notes, and a Prosecco feel without the bubbly that went perfect with all the plates. For cocktails, we got tea ceremony, la Siesta, Nicolada. I loved la Siesta and Tea ceremony for their uniqueness and smooth delivery. My son has a sweet tooth for cocktails, which the Nicolada fit but probably a little too sweet for me. For food we got the ever reliable pork belly Bao buns -a bit on the pricey side when you have to order extra to serve a table of four at $6 each, Next the aforementioned elote dumplings, -tacos de trucha which was good but not my favorite, -hanger steak, -Malaysian fried chicken - delicious and a good deal, -shish Barak; unique, and very tasty, -Vietnamese prawn toast, which was delicious , - -steamed mussels- good and enjoyed by most, and the -tortilla Española; solid but underwhelming compared to everything else. Also ordered the Brie special with toast that I loved but some of us got part of the rind which there was a lot of so wasn't as enjoyable for them but the flavors were there. Would've liked a few more heavy protein options but this did not affect our enjoyment of the meal. The hanger steak exceeded my expectations. I'm not always up for steak, but this was done perfectly and well accompanied with a marinated summer squash, cherry tomatoes, and pickled peppers. For dessert we got the ice cream sandwich and the chocolate banoffee budino. They were all out of the Black Forest meringue, so unfortunately, we could not try that. The ice cream sandwiches were a hearty serving and enjoyed by everyone at the table, but I thought the banoffee budino was the best. Unique and very tasty. Would have ordered one to have by myself if I wasn't so full lol.

Near the entrance they usually serve some drink or food with tables up front then near the back they'll have a very intimate performance space. There is plenty of free street parking nearby. This is located in Scott's Addition. It can also be used as an affordable wedding venue. I love the bathrooms here. They are fully stocked with thoughtful things like hair ties and floss. They have a women and men restroom. I last went for a WRIR fundraiser that was incredible. They opened one of the garage doors for a food truck to serve food from. I love the way the space is divided so you can have room for dancing/music as well as sitting down. I'd recommend hosting an event here.

My coworker, whose wedding we attended, blocked rooms out at the Holiday Inn on Midlothian Turnpike near Johnston-Willis Hospital just a few minutes away. The home dates back to the mid to late 1800s with a barn nearby. The wedding we attended yesterday had the ceremony in the barn. It was truly a special place with light filtering in through cracks in the wood. After the ceremony the guests made their way over to the reception area on the far side of the house. A tent connects with the house, allowing guests to travel back and forth under cover, which was important yesterday as there was a bit of rain. There are beautiful grounds including a gazebo and a fire pit. The staff was very attentive and the food was great. There were about 190 people at this wedding and it never felt crowded. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a wedding venue.

We could not view the wedding ceremony because their wedding venue is in the top of a barn with wooden steps as the only access. No elevator! We waited in the reception tent instead. During the reception, my wife needed to go to the rest room. We discovered that there is no wheelchair access to the house where the restrooms are and the restrooms themselves will not accommodate a wheelchair. We had to carry my wife up the stairs to the bathroom. When I asked the owner if he'd consider putting in a wheelchair ramp, he copped an attitude and said "Ain't gonna happen", "It's never been a problem until now." If you have anyone in your family with functional needs or are elderly and need wheelchairs or walkers, I'd AVOID this place since the owner doesn't see the need to meet ADA compliance standards. UPDATE - They now have wheelchair access to the main house.
