Einstein Bros. Bagels

Stopped at Makers Union in Reston on a rainy Sunday afternoon after taking our dog to the dog park…read more We sat outside on the patio with Onyx, and our server Kenny was great. When the rain started becoming an issue, he actually moved the umbrellas together to make sure Onyx had a dry spot. Really appreciated that. We started with a Bourbon Club and the Nitro Espresso Martini, then got the buffalo wings and she-crab soup. The wings can be grilled or fried and we went grilled, which was definitely the right call. Good char on them and I'd get them the same way again. The she-crab soup was also really good and perfect for a rainy afternoon. For lunch we had the French dip and the Reuben, and subbed the mac and cheese for one of the sides. Both sandwiches were solid, but the mac and cheese deserves a mention of its own. Definitely worth the substitution. Good food, good drinks, and especially good service from Kenny. Being able to hang out on the patio with our dog without the rain ruining lunch made the whole experience even better.

First time at Makers Union and it definitely didn't disappoint! Great atmosphere for a date night,…read moregroup gathering, or family dinner (like we did). We had Mackenzie as our server and immediately connected because she's a foodie like me. At her suggestion, I got the Grilled Chicken Sandwich but swapped the grilled chicken for fried. She had me at bacon. I mean, what doesn't go well with bacon? The chicken was crispy without being greasy and all the flavors just worked. My son had the chicken and waffles. Chicken was perfectly crispy, although the batter was a little sweeter than I prefer. I'm more of a Southern, savory fried chicken person. We asked for hot sauce to add to the maple syrup and Mackenzie upped it by bringing us hot honey instead. YES! Makers Union, add that to the menu. Promise you, it'll be a hit. You can thank Mackenzie for that one! Hubby had the fish and chips. His first reaction was, "Is that all?" Turns out, it was more than enough and really flavorful. The food was great, but honestly, Mackenzie made the experience. When your server understands food AND is a great people person, that's a winning combination. Great first visit and we'll definitely be back!

SERVICE: First time we just walk in and they couldn't sit us for about 20min, each time telling to wait and do not leave. What could be easily solved by getting us on wait list with time approximation.

After 30 min standing outside( because people were coming and leaving) we came in and asked about our table, confused hostess was trying to find reservation again, after she completed the task we were asked to wait.... Then they lead us to a table with strangers and only 2 free sits( we were party of 4)To cut the struggle I said that there are few free tables outside and we are fine to stay there, and finely were settled. The waitress brought us menus and we haven't seen her for the next 20 min... FOOD: the choice is not very wide, but there are some interesting options. Unfortunately not everything we tried there got a picture as it took time and few visits to write this review. Overall, food is good. AMBIANCE: modern interior design, big bar with variety of cocktails and draft beer. There are few areas inside : big tables ( be ready to sit at the same table with other people) , smaller tables and high tables. it can get pretty noisy inside.

Today, I ordered the Turkey BLAT sandwich for $14, only to find one single slice of turkey on my sandwich. For a sandwich at that price point, this is completely unacceptable.

Fortunately, I've had much better experiences at the One Loudoun location, which has now become my preferred Tatte. I hope management at the Reston location takes a closer look at food quality, portion sizes, and overall consistency. Tatte Reston has to do better, especially for loyal customers who have supported this location over the years.

Wish I had looked them up on Yelp first - I went in early in the morning. I asked for a breakfast sandwich, but couldn't get them to tell me what was on it. I ended up getting the sandwich plain because I didn't want whatever schmear or sauce that they put on the sandwich the last time I had it and they couldn't tell me what it was. Apparently that's a bad idea or otherwise highly offensive, as I was asked if I had even tried the items I was looking to remove. I told them I just didn't like it and went on my way. I pay for the food and am getting ready to ask for the bagels when I hear the two people making my sandwich insulting me for getting it plain. Pro-tip: if you're going to insult your customer in spanish, you should probably make sure that he or she doesn't speak spanish first. 2-stars because the bagels were still really good (and made up for the mediocre sandwich). read more

I love their bagels, but on busy mornings you guys need to maybe add more staff members to get through the line quickly. I love your bagels and cream cheese. I use to go to Herndon branch by the Elden Street for years. However, I just moved to Reston and started going to this branch for a month now... same great taste and good service. If you guys be little more quick to get rid of the morning rush quicker, I would definitely had give 4 stars rating because bagels are fresh and delicious!!

Waited a few minutes for the sandwich and they almost forgot my coffee though one staff member double checked before I left so that was nice.
