We had a great experience at Denim & Pearls on a Saturday night! One of the first things we…read moreappreciated was how easy it was to get a reservation, which can be tough to find on weekends. The menu offers a wide variety of options, making it easy for everyone in our group to find something they enjoyed. The atmosphere was cozy, welcoming, and perfect for a relaxed night out. The highlight of our visit was our server, Drew. He was attentive, friendly, and provided excellent service from start to finish. He really helped make the evening enjoyable. Some table favorites were the pork belly and ahi tuna appetizers, the braised beef short rib farfalle and the bacon wrapped meatloaf (with local Whiffletree Farm meat). We'll definitely be back and would highly recommend Denim & Pearls to anyone looking for a great meal and outstanding service in Warrenton!

Had potential but major misses in both food and service…read more Food: my pork belly app was over cooked and rubbery. I had the flank steak and ordered it med rare and it was med to med well. Flavors/seasoning were good but major execution errors. Service: don't let them seat you upstairs. They understaff that. It took almost 10 mins to get water and drinks. We observed similar issues with other tables. My wife ordered a second glass of wine that never came. I ordered the spinach side with my steak and that never came either. Fortunately, they did not charge us for these items. At this price point these are not acceptable outcomes. Will not be back here.

INTEGRITY ....not my normal review opener, but Drew & Julie of Cast Iron went above & beyond…read more After a wonderful burger ( flavor with amazing "depth" I had to pay & rush out to take my Bride to a Swing Dance lesson with Gotaswing in Warrenton, VA. Silly me... I forgot my credit card on the table. After an evening of dancing I went to pull out my credit card for a gas purchase and found my error. Upon arrival at the Cast Iron, Drew called me by name & pulled my credit card from the cash drawer. Was I ever relieved. Integrity... a character trait that will ensure my loyalty. Not to mention an inviting atmosphere, great service & food with a depth of flavor. Thanks Cast Iron

This was by far one of the worst dining experiences we've ever had. We decided to get a table…read moreoutside as it was a nice evening and we had our dog with us. Our waitress seemed friendly enough as she engaged in conversation with us about our dog and asked if she could have a milk bone and we said . She went and got water for us, which came in a nice bottle, but was then served with two nasty plastic cups that had spots all over them and chips around the rim. It took a while for her to come back around to take our drink order but when she did, we ordered specialty drinks, my husband got the Southern Jam which, after one step I could tell by the look on his face, he was disgusted by it and I got the mocktail Farmer Tan which was spicy and hard on my throat, I guess it was the chipotle. We weren't super hungry so we only ordered appetizers. We got the melting pot fries and the hot shrimp and crab dip. I guess they're trying to be unique by using Chick-fil-A fries because that's exactly what they tasted like and you could barely taste the truffle or the Parmesan. The shrimp and crab dip came out and was a bright orange. It almost looked like it was supposed to be a buffalo dip. We've never seen any type of crab dip like this before. It had absolutely no flavor. We couldn't taste any crab it's only big chunks of shrimp, but again after three servings of it, there was no flavor and it was impossible to wash any of this food down with the nasty drinks. There were three other tables filled while we were outside, and the sun was beaming down. One of the customers got up and tried to turn the fan on with no luck. It didn't work and it seemed like the waitress had disappeared. We didn't see her in a while. I'm finally I had to go to the bar and ask for the check myself once she came out with it. My husband gave her his card and when she came back, we discovered that we had been rung up with someone else's bill, which was $30 more than ours. I then went up to the window again, and the bartender was ringing up somebody else so he couldn't help me and told me that the waitress would fix it. She then came out with the correct receipt, but we still had no evidence of the the wrong charge on our card which my husband checked his account and had already been charged for. So I went back up to the window again and asked for a receipt showing that the credit was made or avoid or something, and the waitress was getting flustered because she didn't know how to do that and had to call someone else over to help her. They said they've avoided the transaction, but couldn't print anything out showing it just said the charge has been made so now we have to monitor our account to make sure that this was indeed credited to us. After having a horrible food experience, and then being charged for the wrong bill, we will never be back here again. Oh and we never got the milk bone for a dog either. UPDATE: I see the owner has responded and I do understand how a bank works because I used to actually work for one. # 1) I have not been calling you. #2) The majority of the review was about the food, drinks and service. Get your facts straight before you do a public unprofessional response. All the more reason to not recommend this business to anyone. The right thing to do would have just been to apologize for the bad experience like any professional business owner which you're clearly not.

Omg so many thoughts on this experience…read more I'm so glad i didn't immediately know it was a restaurant located in a hotel. This prob would have deterred me, even a little bit. The Apple map directions here confused me a little due to this, but parking was really plentiful so that's a huge plus! I went on a Sunday morning and lo and behold there was a hole farmers market or pop up set up all through haymarket! Busy weekend for a brunch but haymarket is SUCH a cute little vibe and town with so many hidden gems, like this one!! Literally every single item I saw waiters bring out from the kitchen looked so scrumptious, every person around us immediately began digging in and enjoying their meals...and honestly, no crumbs were left behind pretty much every time. We started ordering a yummy cocktail. I was really in the mood for the Paloma with grapefruit juice but sadly they were out of grapefruit juice fortunately, they had plenty cocktails available that were not explicitly on the menu! I ended up having a delicious espresso martini, prepared, right and honestly, I would have had another!! Not too sweet. Not creamy. And with 3 beans. Impeccable no notes. I ordered the red House breakfast. Man those home potatoes were so delicious....they clearly cooked them seasoned deliciously and then flash fried, so crunchy!!!! Amazing. I found that their execution on their meals was really impressive. My sunny side up eggs were cooked perfectly and paired so yummy with the toast. The bacon had delicious flavor too. I ordered a biscuit because I had heard that their biscuits were really yummy but unfortunately they did not have their bacon biscuit so it was just a classic biscuit. It was good, certainly dense and clearly homemade. My girlfriend got the poutine. Looked so delicious and was really enjoyed! The gravy was thick and flavorful! We sat down and enjoyed plenty of conversation and a really nice environment. Nobody rushed us, service was just the right amount of attentive without interrupting conversation constantly, and the floor to ceiling windows let in beautiful natural light and views of the town. It was the perfect brunch spot for a low-key, but delicious meal. Just a hair out of the way without being too far. I came out with a really good friend of mine to celebrate my one year wedding anniversary with her and it was the perfect possible location. Shout out to the staff for being so welcoming and kind, and even taking a picture of us when we asked to commemorate the occasion. I'm sure they are used to people walking in to the hotel lobby looking as confused as I was looking for red House Tavern.

We had a warm welcome and were seated right away at one of the high tops overlooking the bar area. Although we sat there for quite a while before anyone came to bring water, take our order, etc., all of the servers were very friendly. I really appreciated the server bringing me a small taste of the "She Crab" since I didn't know what it was. Turns out it's a bisque-like soup with crab "and some shells in it" as our server told us. We thought that was a little odd but they were totally right. A few small shells here and there. It was surely delicious but far too rich for my taste. I'm glad to have had a few spoonfuls though! She opted for the pecan-crusted salmon with mashed cauliflower and wilted spinach. I got the Jack Daniel's shrimp over pasta. Plus we shared the beef tips fondue with Gorgonzola and crostini ~ SO good! Cute place that I would gladly return to if I'm ever again in Warrenton.

They took it back to remake it correctly. In the meantime we didn't get any water refills the entire time every one was eating. We needed ranch and sauce but the server never came back after our food was delivered by someone else. Later my steak came out with no steak knife. So I have no idea if it was cooked right the second time. None of the servers would make eye contact with us so that we could politely wave them down for a knife so I could eat my steak. And our server still didn't come back. Also, unlike other steak restaurants where if they mess up your steak, so they bring you new sides to enjoy your meal all together, they only brought out the steak. 15 min after my steak was brought our server finally showed up. Everyone else was ready to go. So I asked them to take back the untouched steak and remove it from the bill. They did but no one came to apologize or offer any kind of recompense. Please enjoy the pretty picture of the steak I didn't get to eat.

The fried fish and chips were a surprise. because of the amount of fried fish that was served. There was a generous amount of fried Cod with fries (chips) and a small amount of coleslaw. There was enough coleslaw served to make you hungry for coleslaw. The fish was properly fried and very hot when placed on our table. The fried fish had a good flavor.

The minute we walked in we were seated early and the staff was so friendly and welcoming immediately and the ambiance is very warm and chic. Multiple employees gave us friendly greetings. The Chef's tasting was tastefully prepared and there were some additional items not on the menu. The Japanese milk bread was delicious too! I really loved the rockfish and the Braised short rib. Each course was beautifully presented and the seasoning and flavors were perfectly balanced. We were really impressed. The chef came out to introduce himself and it was nice to be able to compliment him in person. He's been there just over a month, I think, and he is doing a phenomenal job! This is such a welcome experience out west in the south. I highly recommend checking it out. It was about as good as Clarity in Vienna or 2941 in Falls Church. Dress was business casual and definitely a nicer place for more of a date night or special occasion. We wouldn't bring our children here. We were full at the end but not stuffed.

The price point (145/165) is not deserved for what is served. I didn't want to leave a bad review but I didn't want people that actually go to fine dining establishments to waist their money. To be a little more specific on the food, everything was either too salty, disproportioned, frozen(deserts) , stale( bruschetta and the tuna tartar cone) or just not cooked well.

OK, I have now tried this place twice. Both orders were "to go"…read more On my first visit, I ordered the club Sandwich with a side of fruit and was given french fries and no fruit. I didn't discover the issue until I left with my food and I didn't have time to go back. The sandwich was good. They didn't ask what kind of bread I wanted, but I asked them my choices and I switched from White to Rye. There were no napkins provided in my go bag. On my second visit, I ordered the chicken and waffles. I checked the bag for my napkin before I drove off. The chicken was delicious. It was well prepared, juicy and very flavorful. The pancakes were good. I do have a problem with food service low level pancake/waffle syrup that is mostly caramel color and high fructose corn syrup. They can give people choices if they want real maple syrup or just pancake syrup. Some people may prefer the pancake syrup. I'm fine with saying we give you one packet of syrup, but you have to pay for additional if they get the good stuff- real maple syrup. The biggest problem is the rookie move of putting freshly fried chicken directly into Styrofoam. Unbeknownst to me, under the chicken was a gaping hole where all of the maple syrup drained into my lap requiring me to drive 40 minutes back home and change clothes. Although the chicken on top was delicious, I avoided the one on the bottom that melted the Styrofoam into it. I really appreciate them cooking my chicken fresh, but thoughts into their takeout container must be considered. I have not eaten inside the restaurant, so I cannot speak about service while dining in. The ambience is OK for a breakfast place but I think it could be so much more. The food is really good here so I think the ambience could step up to match the food. I really want this place to be successful. It's great to have other options for takeout other than the typical fast food restaurants on this part of the road. I'm not sure if I will go back.
