The restaurant itself it very bright and lively so it was an enjoyable spot to spend an afternoon. As an appetizer, we shared the monkey bread which was delicious. Do not miss out on that! For my main, I had the smoked salmon lox and I shared the strawberry shortcake pancakes. Both were fantastic! The smoked salmon with the capers was savory and not too fishy, which I don't tend to like. The pancakes came with real strawberries and were very sweet. I probably would not have them as a meal in and of itself, but it was a delightful side. Overall, this was a very easy place to meet up with a big group and the menu had many different options so everyone found something they liked. I recommend it for a weekend brunch spot for small and big groups a like!

It took some time to get actual service, starting with an ask for iced water that took 15 minutes and then just got ice in a cup, red flag number two. This then followed multiple food issues, poorly prepared, cooked, and bused tables. When I brought up undercooked food a manager showed up 4 minutes later and said that the kitchen was under prepared and asked if I wanted anything else. They tried to correct it but brought out the same side again that was again under cooked. It took time to ask for the bill, and anticipated some kinda financial apology for the service and food quality, there wasn't, in fact I saw on the receipt that they were tracking how many times they filled my water glass, so weird. I wouldn't go back here if the meal was free. Beyond the atmosphere the restaurant really has nothing much to offer in comparison to its competitors in the area. Unclear how it's achieved 4.2 stars on yelp.

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.

Unfortunately, I've…read morenoticed a significant decline in the quality and consistency of the food over the past six months. 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. Customers should expect reasonable portions and consistent quality, especially from an establishment like Tatte. It's disappointing because I genuinely used to enjoy visiting this location. 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.

We were seated promptly and attended to just enough to allow conversation & timely feedback to our hostess. Ordering was easy, time from ordering to receiving the food was minimal. Items came out at the right temperatures, hostess was prompt if you needed any other items. I ordered the Cali turkey burger with french fries. Since I'm not a fan of ketchup, she provided me some bbq sauce for dipping my fries. There is a ramp to the bathroom, so walk carefully. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked with no issues. There was street parking with 15 minute limits. There are a few parking garages within walking distance. There is parking enforcement so do the right thing. Breakfast is served all day so if you're an all day breakfast kind of person, this is the place. I had an enjoyable experience and would refer others and return. Try the pop-tarts that they make.

Always good to find a place that serves breakfast all day and has traditional comfort foods. Yes, the portions are large, but the prices are high. The seats are hard; having some cushions would improve the comfort level a lot. After 90 minutes, I just could not sit anymore. The service was just OK. After taking our order, the waiter just disappeared. I was finally able to flag him down to pay the bill. From this experience, no need to rush back. It is just borderline acceptable.

This location used to be a regular…read morefavorite of mine before COVID, so a friend and I decided to visit again for old times' sake and see if it was as good as we remember. Unfortunately, it was a very disappointing experience. During our visit, we noticed the restaurant was nearly empty - for breakfast on a Friday that should have been a red flag but we marshaled on. The place was clean and the fireplace was roaring and inviting so, we felt good about this return visit. The young man who took our order behind counter was not too friendly and looks like he'd rather be somewhere else but there. We ordered the prime rib sandwich with a Caesar salad, as well as the avocado toast with a side potato cake. The quality of the food fell far below expectations: - The Caesar salad had a runny watered down dressing and was missing Parmesan cheese shavings. - The prime rib sandwich was very small, containing only two thin, flimsy slices of beef. - The potato cake tasted stale, as if it had been reheated multiple times. Additionally, the atmosphere was disrupted by a female staff member clearing nearby tables who was recklessly throwing dishes into a bin. The loud crashing sounds she made while busing the tables were so irritatingly loud that my friend and I had to shout to hear each other. The only positive aspect of our visit was the fireplace, which was warm and comforting. However, based on the food quality and poor customer service, we were extremely disappointed with our experience. BOTTOM LINE: a hard no on this LM. I am just surprised this location has not closed based on low ratings it continues to receive. A takeover by a new management maybe its salvation. Or go somewhere else.

The one blip was when we first entered, the young-ish man at the host desk looked at us with a "What are you doing here?" grimace. I was stunned since the hosts are usually very happy to see patrons come in. Beyond that, though, we had a lovely time. Our server was quite friendly and got hubs customized Cuban order just right. I had the killer tomato basil soup and tasty grilled cheese. I also got an order to go of the Buffalo Chicken wrap. It was yummy the next day for lunch. We hadn't been to NYAJ's in years.

Once opening the door, you just head to the right side to the grill.

I was super excited to try the ube waffles since I'm a fan of most ube flavored things. My husband got the more traditional silog bowl which I ended up liking more since I'm actually not big on breakfast food. The spam fries had a cute presentation with the canister but were extremely salty. Water and condiments were self serve. I noticed there were booster seats and high chairs in the corner so you could bring the kiddos. Restrooms were also off to the side and had cute birdie themed decorations courtesy of the Herndon Ladies Golf League.
