    I have been to the other Sisters Thai and the food has always been 5 stars but this time it was above and beyond. The location, food and ambiance was excellent. I will let the food pictures speak for itself.

    Ambience
    Jara J.

    Tried the soft veg rolls, drunken noodles, khao fried rice, and street café style dishes. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and delicious! The drunken noodles were especially tasty, and the fried rice had a great balance of flavors. The service was excellent friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The ambience was also really nice, with a cozy and pleasant atmosphere that made the dining experience even better. Overall, we really enjoyed the food, service, and ambience. Definitely a place worth visiting again!

    Great place, but service

    The experience was incomplete, we have higher expectations, but the service ruined our time.

    This is a review for the High Tea (reservations required on Resy) for the "Summer In Provence." Every three months the theme changes as well as the decor in the upstairs cafe to match the theme. From start to finish, the food is beautifully prepared and presented by a lovely server in a pretty dress. For each course, you can select a different tea from the menu which was very nice. - First course: two mini scones - apricot and blueberry with matching cream - really divine and not too big so you didn't get too full - Second course: Lavender soup with a fig and cheese salad and breadsticks - Third: The three tiered tray: one savory and two tiers of desserts. Savories include diced lobster on a large cracker, a tuna topped with salmon, and two others. For desserts, the mini creme brulee topped with berries was tart and creamy. Two madeleines - one lemon and one lavender, an orange cake, a chocolate dessert in a chocolate shell. We were seated with spacing between the tables which was nice to have more privacy and enjoyed several hours catching up without the pressure of only being allowed a certain amount of time for the tea. For the High Tea, you pay in advance ($106.80 plus tax and 20% service/gratuity charge).

    Afternoon Tea sweets

    (Pre-Booked) Sunday Cherry Blossom Afternoon Tea. Limited, but good selection of tea. We tried the lemongrass tea and a jasmine citrus tea that were both great. Some of the bites were hits and others were misses. Beautiful decor. Very good service. Expect at least 1 hour here for this experience, if not 2. Overall, we felt the price point as a bit high and a bit long, but not a bad experience.

    Smoked Salmon & Cream Cheese Toast
    Chris C.

    I came here for brunch around 11am on a Sunday morning. The place is cute. The decor of both the Flore Cafe and main Sisters Thai restaurant (Flore Cafe is inside the main restaurant) were very well done. It's a great atmosphere. There were only a few tables occupied in the restaurant. The food was very good, but I felt it was overpriced for the portion sizes. The smoked salmon toast was $22 for two pieces! The server was extremely friendly, but the service was slow overall. It seemed like she was handling all the tables in the restaurant by herself. It took forever to get refills on drinks and to get the check at the end.

    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.

    If you're looking for a beautiful café that's worth stepping out of your comfort zone for, Flore Café is it. The space is absolutely picture-perfect--bright, inviting, and full of thoughtful details that make you want to stay awhile. The food was just as impressive. I ordered the spring rolls, and while they're usually my go-to at Thai restaurants, the dipping sauce here made them stand out in the best way. For my entrée, I had the spicy basil fried rice with chicken, and I'd recommend it without hesitation. To finish, I treated myself to the Nutella croissant, which was the perfect sweet ending. My only complaint that kept me from giving five stars was the temperature! It was extremely hot and everyone at the table was sweating and passing around personal fans because it felt like there was barely any cool air flowing. Whether you're meeting friends, attending a community event, or simply looking for a cozy café with delicious food and a beautiful atmosphere, Flore Café is absolutely worth a visit. I'll definitely be back.

    Drunken noodles with chicken
    Donyiel C.

    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!

    Amanda T.

    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.

    The tower...looks are definitely deceiving on this.
    Nina P.

    We did the tea experience. The food was TERRIBLE. It was pre-made, previously frozen (it had condensation on it) and foul. There was sort of tuna sandwich thing that tasted like grass with chemicals on it. I had to spit it out it was so bad. The desserts were beautiful but tasted plastic. The service was ok. Our waitress talked so low it was hard to hear her so it was mostly smile and nod. The venue and the tea were top tier, but those two alone were not worth the price.

    Be careful of the double charge on service fees. That's over 40% on tips alone. Other than that, it was a decent restaurant.

My husband had the…read morepasta puttanesca with grilled chicken, my MIL had the sea bass special, my son had a pasta dish, and I had the chicken Marsala with a side of vegetables. Each dish tasted fresh and delicious (all of the pastas and breads are made from scratch there) and the service was excellent (shout out to Emilio for great service and for making our evening so special). The ambiance is casual and friendly- it's not a white table cloth kind of restaurant. But if you want an excellent, freshly prepared meal at very reasonable prices, in a relaxed atmosphere, with tons of free parking, this is a GREAT choice.

    I found pappardelle at Dal Grano's once and that says all you need to know. Papardelle are wide,…read moresoft, flat pasta noodles that I first had in Rome decades ago. 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.

The white glove service, super crisp clean and whimsical ambiance, mixed with an array of interesting treats made for an incredible experience. There were many people having a girls day, out with their daughters, and even having high tea as a family. Even if you don't know anything about tea, the servers there are super knowledgeable and will guide you through the process. Starting with the hand towel (so cool!) you begin feeling relaxed and refreshed. I chose to start off with the Gen Maicha, which had a delightful popcorn taste I couldn't get enough of! For my cocktail, I chose a simple bubby rose', but my friends said their cherry blossom flavored tea inspired cocktail was amazing. 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. The playfulness of the colors, perfection of the shapes, and subtle but perfect flavors all engaged the senses. I cannot wait to return. For the price point, this high tea was incredible.

The server was amazing (she politely asked not for her face to not be photographed).

After making my way through 1/2 dozen cookies, my favorites are the Brookie (brownie/cookie dairy-free cookie) and Galaxy Brownie Cookie.

It's very gooey with a nice cookie crust and can't even tell there's no dairy. The Galaxy Brownie Cookie tasted just like a brownie with rainbow chips - it hit the spot!

The Oatmeal Apple cookie tastes like a Snickerdoodle. I wasn't a fan of the Rainbow Almond cookie, it had a strong vanilla extract artificial taste. The Blue Sugar Cookie sandwich looked too tempting, but was too sugary sweet. I threw in the towel after a couple of bites. Lesson learned to try a flavor that's a bit sweet/salty balanced.
