I had a surprisingly great experience at Flower Child…read more With such a wide variety of menu items, it was easy to find plenty of vegetarian options. I ordered an entrée with three sides: grilled vegetables, roasted heirloom carrots, and mac and cheese. Everything was made to order, so my meal arrived fresh and flavorful. The olive oil-roasted vegetables were simple but well seasoned and satisfying. The roasted heirloom carrots were unique as they were seasoned with za'atar and served with whipped feta, which added a delicious flavor. The mac and cheese, however, was just average. I'm not a big fan of gluten-free pasta, and I found it a bit too chewy. It also didn't absorb the cheese sauce very well, so it wasn't as creamy or flavorful as I had hoped. I also tried the draft kombucha, which was fine but nothing particularly memorable. The service was quick, even during a busy weekend lunch, and a staff member was friendly. The restaurant itself has a cute, welcoming interior with plenty of seating, so finding a table wasn't an issue. Overall, I had a really enjoyable meal and thought it was well worth the price. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.

Unfortunately the portion sizes are very small here and not worth the price…read more I always order the Steak entree with Mac & Cheese + Kale Salad (roughly $19). First visit I had no issues but the second time I came I asked why the serving was so small after showing a photo of my previous order and was told that I was mistakenly give a double portion. The manager and staff did work to remedy it which I was grateful for but sad to know that the average size is so small.

Remember this place is NOT a fine fining restaurant. calamari - not good soups- good 3. Drinks: okay.

Nice big tables to meet in groups and you can actually do work here. 5. Big advantage here is you can really get some work done with not just drinks but with food. I guess it is their biggest advantage.

So I took my entire family and the doggoes for brunch this beautiful Sunday morning, grabbed an outdoor seat and went in to giddily make our order. The menu is pretty limited but we all found something to have and was happy with the friendly service. My heuvos rancheros was delicious. My mom enjoyed her shrimp and grits (said the grits was a bit spicy for her taste and my brother said it was one of the softest waffles he's ever had. Looks like we found a new place to stick into our weekend brunch rotation!

The only downside is the limited parking, which can be a bit inconvenient. (The restaurant is also located on a one-way street so that sucks a bit)! The staff is always friendly and welcoming. My favorite dishes are the Steak Chimichurri and the Big Fin Salad. The steak can be a little tough at times, but the chimichurri and corn make it delicious. The Big Fin Salad is another solid choice with grilled salmon and crispy parmesan crisps. Today I tried the Spicy Avocado Salad and customized it with basmati rice, cherry tomatoes, and avocado ranch. The avocado was perfectly ripe, and the tomatoes were super refreshing. However, the tortilla chips were a bit stale, and I wasn't a fan of the cilantro-lime vinaigrette. The avocado ranch definitely made the dish more enjoyable. I probably wouldn't order this salad again, but I'm still excited to try more items from their menu!!

He actually came around from the other side of the station to help me get signed up for a honeygrow account, and then took the time to help me customize my order exactly how I wanted it. None of this was something he had to do, which is what made it stand out even more. Cesar was friendly, patient, knowledgeable, and made me feel like he genuinely cared about making sure I had a good experience. Customer service like that is hard to come by. He's definitely an asset to the Tysons location and deserves recognition for the way he takes care of customers. Thanks again, Cesar -- you made my visit a great one.

Honeygrow may be a chain, but this Tysons location feels anything but generic…read more I've worked in Tysons Corner for four years, and this is one of my most frequent lunch spots. While the food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and made quickly, the real reason I keep coming back--and why I recommend it to friends, coworkers, and anyone looking for a great lunch--is the customer service. Every time I walk in, I'm greeted with a smile. The team members at the register are welcoming and helpful, especially for anyone unfamiliar with the ordering kiosks. Even during the busiest lunch rushes, they stay calm, patient, and efficient. You never get the sense that they're overwhelmed, even when there's a line out the door. What really sets this location apart is how much they care about the guest experience. Even though Honeygrow isn't a full-service restaurant, employees regularly bring food to tables, check in to see how your meal is, and make sure everything is going well. They actively walk the dining room, clear tables quickly, and keep the space clean and inviting. It's rare to see this level of attentiveness at a fast-casual restaurant. I've also found the staff to be accommodating with modifications and special requests, and the food always comes out fresh and fast. Over the years, I've interacted with many different employees, and the excellent service has been remarkably consistent regardless of who's working. That tells me it's part of the culture here, not just a few standout individuals. I wish I knew everyone's names so I could recognize them individually--that's my goal the next time I visit. They truly deserve the credit. I've been to enough restaurants to know that great food gets people in the door, but great service keeps them coming back. This Honeygrow has mastered both. They make you feel welcomed, remembered, and genuinely appreciated as a customer. I'd love to know if other Honeygrow locations provide this same level of service, but honestly, I don't feel the need to find out. This location has earned my loyalty, and I'll happily keep coming back.

Gotta love the names and Lei'd Island Kitchen's playful motto is "It's a great day when you get Lei'd!" Now who doesn't agree with that lol. You can dine in, order to go and pick up, or you can order delivery. They also offer catering. FOOD They have poke bowls, hot bowls, island rolls, and hand rolls (sushi). For the build your own bowls, you choose your portion size, your base, and your protein otherwise you can choose from one of the many traditional predetermined ingredients bowls and you can still specialize it. They also have sides like taro or tortilla chips with avocado smash, shrimp tempura, and macaroni salad. I got a wild caught tuna build your own bowl over rice. Delish!

I had salmon, edamame, corn, cucumber salad, ginger and eel sauce. It had a little too much ginger but that is easy to fix. A step below my usual bowls for a couple dollars more. Husband ordered the Koji chicken bowl and it was surprisingly small. It seemed like a weak version of a chicken teriyaki bowl. Daughter ordered the kare-kare brisket bowl and it was terrible. We really should have said something or tried to switch it out because she basically picked at it and left hungry. The brisket was dry and tough and it has something else that was like mush. They also charge a 3% credit card fee, which I get is becoming more standard. Overall, it was probably a 2 star visit for us, but I think it is likely better than that most times.

**A Pleasant Surprise at Circa Bistro, Tysons**…read more We decided to have lunch at Circa Bistro in Tysons on a rainy Wednesday 9/23, expecting a quiet weekday crowd. To our surprise, the dining room was completely full when we walked in. The host kindly offered us seats at the bar, and we happily accepted, and it turned out to be a great choice. Service was excellent. We didn't have to wait long at all, and the bar staff were attentive and friendly. We ordered the Circa Burger and the Crispy Chicken Cobb salad, and both were delicious. The burger, made with Creekstone Farms beef and aged cheddar, was juicy and satisfying, and the Cobb was generous and fresh, loaded with crispy chicken, bacon, avocado, and blue cheese. The atmosphere and ambiance made for a relaxing, enjoyable lunch. It's definitely a place we'll be coming back to. A tip for fellow diners: if you're set on a table, consider making a reservation, since it clearly gets busy even midweek. And if Circa happens to be full, Open Road right next door is a great alternative. Both are part of the Metropolitan Hospitality Group, so you can expect the same quality. Highly recommended, give them a try!

I opted for the kale Cesar salad and added chicken on as a protein. The chicken is available in both crispy or roasted option. The salad was made quickly and I'm sure I could have added additional toppings but I will have to do my research next time. For the price of the salad, I expected the bowl to be more packed than it was. The bowl was on the light side and they add the chicken at the bottom so it seems like adding the chicken is not really worth it. I did appreciate the salad dressing being added to your liking but I don't know if I would try the kale Cesar again.

When those patrons left, while we were there, only one additional table was occupied. They aren't very busy even on a Saturday afternoon. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with a mural, colorful string lights, and decorative pillows. There is limited parking in front of the restaurant. They also have patio seating. Our server was wonderful - friendly, attentive and helpful answering questions and accommodating my friend with requests for her food. Although I love the ambience and service, I have mixed reviews on the food. The beef empanadas and flan were delicious, however, my smoked brisket mashed potatoes and potato wedges were just average. Although our server said that the brisket is popular and highly recommended, I thought it was chewy, hard, and the barbecue sauce wasn't anything memorable. It didn't really stand out and I have definitely had better brisket at Mission BBQ. My friend or mofongo, brussel sprouts, and Ropa Vieja. She she said of the three, the Mofongo was her favorite and really good. She also liked the brussels sprouts. Final thoughts: beautiful ambience, great service, but mixed reviews on the food.
