    solid spot in mclean! on the pricier side for the area but portions are huge. cane here as a very large group and the servers were very attentive. overall decent spot with a lot of variety.

    Dumpling soup
    Bella J.

    Beautiful interior, excellent service and meh food and good dessert. 1. Reservation: highly recommend. Especially during lunch and dinner peak hours. They are open throughout the day. 2. Drinks: 4 stars Cocktails: quite delicious but very sugary. Beautiful presentation. 3. Food: 3 stars I don't like to eat anything here. I tried almost every dish here and I cannot recommend anything. - dumpling soup is small portion, good if you want something very light - duck fried rice: deep fried duck was not good - spring roll: also very much deep fried to the point the skin is dark brown and I don't like that - Pork basil dish: again, it was not good - calamari: small portion, again, so much oil 4. Cafe/bakery menu is delicious. - Early grey creme brulee was great! 5. Tea/specialty coffee drinks are not only delicious but also visually amazing! However, very high in calories. 6. Interior: amazing! I love their decor. I just wish their food was good.

    Flore Cafe is absolutely gorgeous and incredibly picturesque. I tried the high tea experience for two, which featured a delicious balance of sweet and savory treats. As a first-timer for high tea, I was thoroughly impressed. The staff greeted us warmly, and we enjoyed a quiet corner for our meal. I'm definitely looking forward to returning to try the full menu downstairs! Note that the first two hours of parking is free.

    Drunken noodles with chicken

    Very cute spot and I'm glad I got to visit. It's like two restaurants in one! My friend found it online and chose it to celebrate her birthday dinner. We sat inside a room that felt like inside of a library. I ordered my go to thai favorite, drunken noodles with chicken. Although I ordered it spicy it wasn't hot enough. I did ask for pepper on the side and I got a few different options - they only helped a little. Service was good from beginning to end. They have great cocktails and a good wine selection. My friend enjoyed her birthday celebration and I was happy about that! Parking here is a bit tricky. I ended up parking in the garage for Wegmans which offers the first two hours for free and then you pay after that. I don't venture out to this part of town often but I'd visit again.

    Deliciousnessssss! Quality and quantity was served correctly. Papaya salad was served so delicately and all entrees went above and beyond for our expectation. We initially came here for the cafe but didn't realize it was inside this restaurant as well! The thai tea was also very delicate yet milky. Thai food was plated with such great care at this place :o!

    Came here for the Amalfi Coast themed afternoon tea! Reservations are recommended and gratuity is included when pre-booking. The pastries and savory bites were plentiful -- honestly more than I expected. The service was also wonderful: warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. They had a great selection of teas to try. Flore Café adds its own Thai twist to traditional afternoon tea, which is unique and creative. Overall, a lovely spot with great service and delicious bites -- just keep in mind that the afternoon tea here leans more modern and Thai-inspired than classic English. I'd definitely come back to try more from their menu!

    A bridgerton vibe, cute and cozy with delicious treats. Absolutely loved the ambiance. Felt like I was in a novel. Will definitely be back to try the high tea experience and to have some thai food.

    Let me begin by saying that this is solely a review of the Afternoon Tea at Flore Cafe. We did not try the regular menu but reserved the specialty tea for Valentine's Day. We were greeted immediately upon entering and shown to the upstairs loft area which is separated from the rest of the restaurant and appears to be reserved specifically for afternoon tea. The setting is lovely, with flowers woven into the screens, classic marble topped tables and a trickling fountain set into a wall alcove. Our waitress greeted us with the tea menu (we had the tasting tea, which meant we could have as many different teas as we cared to try), I chose to begin with The Queens Guard, organic black Ceylon tea blended with stately rose and fragrant lavender. It turned out to be my favorite tea too. Our Tea was served in courses, beginning with fresh warm scones and a choice of strawberry or vanilla cream to top them with. The scones are small but tender and delicious. The next course was a glass of pumpkin soup and a roasted root vegetable salad with blue cheese dressing. The soup was so good I probably could have eaten a whole bowl of it! Then came the 3 tier tray filled with savory bites and sweets. These included a cheese straw with truffled dip, an individual sized berry trifle and cherry rolled cake. For Valentine's Day there was also an iced brownie heart and ganache heart. Portions were ample and we were stuffed by the time we finished. Service was very quick and our waitress was wonderful. We always had full water glasses and full teapots. Overall, this is one of the best value Afternoon Teas I have had in the DMV and I would highly recommend giving it a try. Reservations are essential as seating is limited. For the holiday I reserved a full month in advance. Parking is in paid lots/garages only although on the weekend the first two hours were free so we ended up not having to pay.

    The food & drinks were FANTASTIC and one of the best that I've had in the Tysons area. The interior is very beautiful with a wall of books, paintings, and flowers. The presentation was well-done and the service was quick for walk-in guests. A great variety of dishes!

    The interior decor of any sisters location is fun. This one has a library room that felt bright and light. Service was hard to come by for some reason. Tofu and fried rice was good but the table agreed the duck and other meats were too salty. Not too many vegetarian options. Not a fan of the 2-hour free parking situation as it feels a bit rushed with a big brunch group. It felt like everyone was dressed in sundress brunch attire, which was fun.

    My friend and I dined at the cafe on a Monday, soon after they opened. I was pleasantly pleased. While I was told I couldn't just get a plane waffle, I got the mango one with sticky rice, ect. ect... This also came with two scoops of ice cream and whipped cream. Ya'll it was a lot, but it was good. I'm such a waffle "connoisseur" and the waffle was perfect! One of the best I've had in the DMV. A smidge flaky AND crispy, and soft on the inside, and delicious tasting. Everything else on the plate wasn't too bad, but really, i feel all the extras could be condensed. I did see another customer receive just a waffle, so I really hope if i return at some point, that I can order just that (knowing it would be the same price). I just don't need all that extra stuff on the plate. My friend had a croissant with Nutella, and you could hear the flakiness of it as she cut into it. She loved it. The service was kind. It's a beautiful space with nice French and Italian-sounding music that fits the ambiance. I'm interested in trying lunch/dinner there. But I'll definitely be back for breakfast sometime.

    This is all you get to eat for $79 per person

    Beautiful space and cute little high tea snacks, but that's about it. They charged $70 for tiny bites of food, even the scones were bite size, and automatic 20% gratuity included. Also charged me a $18 for a minions in a skinniest flute glass I've ever seen. The FOH was also a bit stand offish and rude. There was a miscommunication about my high tea booking. I called 3+ weeks ago to specifically book the high tea, and they put me as a regular dining. For lunch downstairs. I had to ask them we wanted the White Lotus High Tea reservation and that's why we came. The hindsight is 20/20 because it ended up being over priced and we left very hungry and disappointed. They didn't give us anything that took more than two bites. It was a very frugal high tea experience and we've been to many in the area and abroad. lame. Also the whole White Lotus was theme was just a bunch of lotus moldings they used to shape the tea snacks.

    September high tea
    Marcy B.

    I have gone here twice. The space is gorgeous and elegant, it is hard not to live. I love how clean it is including the washrooms. Once for my moms birthday and the other with my friends. The service was lovely and the attendants were super attentive. My mom's birthday was in September and for both visits I went for high tea. I enjoyed the tea it was wonderful . I preferred the September menu over the November menu. But both were decadent and delicious!

    After being lured into Tous Les Jours by Yelp (apparently the spot to check out), I decided to give…read moreit a try. There's some parking available right outside, and despite living in McLean for several years, I hadn't realized there's actually a food hall in the building. That alone makes it a decent option for teleworking or a casual stop. As for the food--it reminded me quite a bit of Paris Baguette. Cakes seemed slightly more expensive, while pastries were more in line price-wise. I tried a jalapeño cheese croissant, a garlic butter bun, spinach egg bites, and a tiramisu iced coffee. The croissant was just okay, but the garlic butter bun stood out--nicely balanced between salty and sweet, and definitely the highlight. The egg bites were comparable to Starbucks; honestly, it's hard to say which is better, but Starbucks might have the edge in both portion size and price. The tiramisu iced coffee leaned too sweet--my partner especially felt it was a bit overdone. Ambiance was pleasant, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Would I come back? Probably to try the cakes. Otherwise, it's not a place I'd rush back to--but still worth checking out once.

Growing up Italian stateside, I never knew about this light, wavy pasta dish. So pappardelle pasta is like some rare delicacy and I love it. This pasta dish is not easy to find unless it has been popularized in the Italian dining scene, recently. How can I explain this pasta? Papardelle are not thick like butter noodles, but instead they are thin yet wide. And at Dal Grano's, they must be experienced to be savoured. Do call ahead, because they might just have them made. Dal Grano's is a neighborhood place. We love how when you are dining, they actually talk to you and are friendly. There are a few other places around Mclean proper which I wish were more overtly warm and hospitable, in this way. All of Dal Grano's pasta is homemade and delicious. It's definitely great for carryout pasta or a diner-style environment with a homemade pasta lunch or dinner. I don't think they deliver or work with any of the delivery services. You just call and pickup. The butternut squash ravioli is tender and flavorful. We have probably have gotten different versions of their ravioli every time. Outside of the papardelle, I'm all in for their rich squid ink pasta when it's made. I don't go there enough to know if it's always available. They have over 50 homemade pasta combinations to choose from and a big freezer case of food to take home. My biggest issue with Dal Grano's is when I see all of the pastas in the serving bowls presented to order and cook, I want to buy them all at once. I know it sounds tacky, but they make me yearn for a pasta buffet there just so that I can taste all of the variations. Alas, if we were in town more we'd just need to go more often to taste all of their selection. There's only one other restaurant that does Italian this well and it's around 15 minutes away in Falls Church. But even that fabulous Italian restaurant does not compare with the amount and selection of homemade pastas at Dal Grano's.

As you can see, they did not cut any corners with the high tea treats, which ranged from savory to sweet. The peppery pink spread for the scone was one of my favorites.
