First time dining in Earl's in Tysons…read more Great restaurant, nice ambiance and feels upscale. Food tasted great and had surprisingly good portion sizes. The Crispy Sushi with Salmon is a must order for an appetizer. Our server was Mal, she was great and very friendly. Mal was able to remember everything we asked for and always made sure we doing okay. I'm not sure if my menu was missing a page but there was barely a cocktail menu, so it would be nice if they had more offerings. But other than that it was a great dinner experience and I will be coming back. I would love to try the Happy Hour offerings.

One of my favorite upscale spots in Tysons! This place consistently delivers on food, service, and…read moreoverall vibe. The menu is definitely on the pricier side, but the quality makes it worth it. Standout favorites for me over time include the sushi + steak appetizer, the truffle tortellini, the spicy Calabrian pasta, and really any of the burgers. Special shoutout to the ahi tuna, which they do well in multiple forms: poke bowls, tacos, and appetizers. Service is typically attentive and efficient, which adds to the experience. The only downside is parking...it can be a bit tricky. There is free parking in the adjacent lot, but spots are often hard to find. They do offer validation for the paid garage, which is helpful. Overall, a great go to for a nicer night out with consistently solid food and atmosphere.

Dined here last night and absolutely loved the vibes. We were able to walk in on a Saturday night…read moreat 5:30pm (despite there being no online reservations available). We ordered: - the honeydew mocktail (this was so good, I haven't had a mocktail that I enjoyed so much in a long time now) - the assortment of dips (delicious and paired so well with the bread) - a side of toum (this is an essential for me at any restaurant) - the ottoman rice (my family's favorite) - brussel sprouts - cauliflower (our server's favorite) - Adana kepab - the small lamb shoulder dish (really good) - branzino (sooo good and cooked perfectly) - pistachio soufflé (like a chocolate lava cake but with pistachio inside--soooo fab) We absolutely loved everything that we ordered and the bread that they served the food with. The service was so attentive. The vibes were really nice and not overly fancy. My family and I thought it was one of the best Turkish/middle eastern meals we've had in a while (and we thought this was much better than Zaytinya). Overall I cannot wait to return.

Unfortunately she was running a bit late so we…read moremissed happy hour foods but I got myself a drink while waiting for her at the bar- which wasn't the most comfortable set up (slightly cramped) but bearable. I got the Thyme to Bloom and it was good! We got the Mucver, Hummus, and Grilled Chicken. The Mucver texture wasn't my favorite but the sauce it came out with was yummy. Hummus and grilled chicken were good- not the best I've had but decent. The vibe was nice and I liked the decor. I'd come back to try their happy hour!

The pianist swept you off your feet as she played back to back hits. What a romantic addition to the stunning decor and ambiance that this restaurant and hotel created. We sat in the bar area, no reservations needed. Drinks: I had to try their espresso martini after reviews that it was the best around...well, let's just say that the reviews aren't wrong! The espresso was brewed strong and the liquor pairing was perfect. 10/10 easily! My boyfriend's drink of choice was the Port of Angel's envy and he raved about how excellent the Angel's Envy bourbon was, said it was worth taking a bottle home. 10/10 Bar bites: I ordered what I called "girl dinner" lol the caviar & shrimp toast, which I can best describe as AMAZING! A perfect 10/10 My boyfriend ordered the crab cake sliders which came with a side of fries and honey, those crab cakes were DELISH! Perfect 10/10 The fries had a hint of truffle oil on it, making them even more addictive. Overall, I'm in love with the ambiance, food, and drinks and whether you choose this place for amazing drinks with friends, bar bites while watching their large screen TVs, or a romantic dinner in the main dining area-you will not regret it.

Great little find before a comedy show as we were trying to get into another restaurant but it was…read morepacked! Now it was a Saturday nothing special but everyone was out and about as the weather was pretty nice. I've been to the Tyson's Corner area many times but never to this area of restaurants. So we were kind of in a rush so I decided on a lemon drop which was made really good. We only had time to eat a little of the appetizer which was a crab dip and baby it was FULL of crab and so cheesy. The pretzel was nice and soft and lightly salted. We did get entrees but to go as we were about to be late...I got the ribeye medium with the cheesy cauliflower And when I tell you the steak was cooked to perfection! Yes ma'am and the cauliflower was so cheesy the cheese pull was crazy! This restaurant was located in the hotel next door to all these other restaurants which gives you a great food choice. As they had so many to choose from! Can't wait to go back!

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!

I usually am enamored with speakeasies, but it was really hard to love this one…read more 1. Reservations - I've been with OpenTable and other restaurant online booking systems for decades but this is a first for me. They have two separate OpenTable listings (as noted in other reviews). I was clear in that i just wanted an after work chill happy hour. I booked for 4:30. After promptly showing up at the wren for my 4:30 appointment I was told, Naisho room doesn't open until 5 pm.... So why did you let me book for 4:30?!?! No explanation. No apology just "you're early..." 2. I promptly dropped $70 for drinks and an appetizer at the Wren bar to hold me and my guests over. It wasn't bad but that's not what I was hoping for... at 4:30. 3. The service to the speakeasy was great. The "gym stag" had our 4:30 and let us in at... 5:03 pm... 4. The waitress inside the speakeasy was super awkward and off putting. She really needs a class on etiquette. I ordered quite a bit right off the bat but my guests slow roll throughout the experience and she didn't seem too happy with that. Taking away our menus doesn't encourage us to order either. You charge $22 for one tea sandwhich but can't afford to print out more menus? The menus were also pretty dingy and I hand sanitized after using them. 5. Food. Was mid at best. Not at all authentic Japanese. I had the oyster shooter, temaki, Wagyu toast, Wagyu quesadilla, and mocktail. The oyster shooter was too sweet. And you could only taste the oyster and caviar at the end. Mostly as an aftertaste. There was a "too sweet" aspect to most of the food. The temaki was okay and I liked the crunchy bits but they went too far with the plastic wrap on the seaweed. The plastic wrap gave me Japanese 7-11 onigiri vibes. You do that if you aren't efficient enough to get the food out to guests at once and the seaweed will get soggy. I'm not sure if it was for a "fun factor" for people who are unfamiliar with grocery store onigiri in Asia but in a restaurant it should be done for you. The Wagyu toast was a HUGE disappointment. It was Sooooo sweet. I filet barely taste anything except the gross, sweet jam. And the toast was soggy and the texture of the bread felt prepared the day before and like refrigerator. It was not toasted at all. The star was the Wagyu quesadilla with beef tendon chips. It was the cheapest item on the menu and the most filling and delicious. 6. Drinks were very good. Expect about $20 a pop... $50 for the Japanese whiskey is highway robbery. Nothing really "rare." I have most bottles on the kitchen counter from the Virginia ABc or DC Costco. You can buy an entire bottle of the Japanese whiskey at Costco for the cost of one serving here. Overall, the Naisho room felt like all hype. For over $100 I was still pretty hungry. If the food tasted good I would have ordered more but I didn't think it was worth it. You get a nice view but it's the same from most of the capital one building. Same view from the brewery. Don't waste your money. Go elsewhere. Plenty of better happy hour spots for much much less considering if you stay for more than two hours you have to pay for parking (we did becuase, well, our reservation was at 4:30...)

After this dinner, maybe I do like Eddie V's. This time it was great!…read more The place has this sleek, polished vibe that whispers, "I am the prize" familiar words I stand on! Even the staff moved like they were part of the choreography. Honestly, the atmosphere alone could've carried the night, drama and all. Our waiter was a GEM! Let's get into it! The Lobster came out fresh, perfectly seasoned, and plated like it knew it was helping close a chapter. The steak? Cooked exactly right tender enough to remind me what standards look like. His Lamb Chops- Yummy! They are his favorite! The calamari? Crispy, confident, desired (ohhhh I love them) and not trying too hard. If calamari had a personality, this one would've rolled its eyes at the whole situation right along with me. Our drinks delicious! Eddie V's you'll definitely see me again! Cheers to a chapter closed, memories made, appreciation for what was and peace renewed! Unapologetically ME HIGHLY Recommend!

We had a 1:00 p.m. reservation and were seated promptly. The setting was lovely with a slight corporate feel but still elegant and welcoming. The service was excellent from start to finish. A complimentary cinnamon scone and a rose for Mother's Day was a thoughtful touch. The whole wheat bread was hearty and delicious and we also enjoyed a wonderful French rosé. Although there was a special Mother's Day menu, we ordered from the regular menu. The Chilean sea bass was prepared Hong Kong style in a flavorful broth with sautéed spinach and pickled ginger. The flavors were excellent, although I think the fish was slightly overcooked because it was a little tough. 4/5. The stuffed shrimp with crab was light, fresh, and not overly buttery or oily, which I appreciated. 4.5/5. The banana foster butter cake was extremely sweet. Even between the two of us we could only finish half, although it was beautifully presented with freshly prepared pistachio ice cream and whipped cream. 4/5. Overall this was a very nice dining experience with attentive service, thoughtful details, and good food.

I ordered a couple of cocktails off the menu - Lychee Martini was very boozy and didn't have much flavor. The Flor de Cana Pineapple Mojito is interestingly on happy hour, but not on the main cocktail menu. It was okay and not that flavorful. Honestly, I wouldn't mind shelling out $20+ cocktail if it packed a punch with flavor and well-balanced. These cocktails didn't measure up. The Cauliflower Taco was truly bite-size and was the teeny tiniest taco I've ever seen. I wasn't a big fan of the flavor, so I was glad that it was gone within 2 bites. After spending $60+ on 2 drinks and tiny taco, I was ready to go home disappointed. Our server was friendly. Maybe I didn't order the right drinks? I might come back to try another round of drinks, but not sure if I'm willing to dish out another $20+ cocktail.
