I'm native Floridian so I'm probably biased but this place is a little piece of Florida in Falls…read moreChurch. Only downside is the owners are Gators I think so there's no FSU stuff in the entire place! I always enjoy coming here and having a tasty beverage or two on the patio and listening to some live music while enjoying some grilled shrimp tacos. I've had other items and enjoyed but the grilled shrimp tacos are my go to here. Food and drinks are just as good in the winter but it's not quite Florida weather so I'm eating inside when it's too cold for flip flops. The margaritas are always enjoyable as is everything else I've ever had to drink. The grilled shrimp tacos are also always just right and they bring the shells and tortillas separately so you can fill the shells yourself make them just how you want them. I usually choose corn tortillas and black beans but they also offer flour tortillas and refried beans as options. Service is always fast and friendly here, even when they're crowded on a weekend. This place is a must try if you're a Floridian in exile or just want to enjoy the beach bar experience in Falls Church.

I was in love when we walked in and fell progressively less in love as we ate more of our food…read more Tl;dr - come for drinks, vibes, and simple shit that is good fried. Do not come expecting a solid seafood dinner. We came here after a nearby event. There was live music in the very sizable back lot area. People were actually up and dancing and having a great time. The vibes were stellar. I don't know if I would be into tbis place in the winter if I had to eat inside because the inside is kind of dingey, but outside in the summer is pretty paradisiacal. I did notice that they were doing karaoke in a weird little side room and it did not seem crowded on a Saturday night so that might be worth checking out. Servers were also all super nice. Pretty sure we entered the wrong way and kind of just let ourselves in through the back lot area and then we had no idea where to go to find a host(ess). So we asked the first server we could find where to go and she went "oh I can seat you" and grabbed two menus. Excellent. She also gave us our choice of wherever. The place is huge. Our assigned server was also nice and really knew the menu, which is not small. The menu had a ton of options including some really interesting tofu options and I had a hard time picking so I got excited. Also very customizable where you can choose your preparation. The beer list was not exactly artisinal...a lot of like...michelob ultra. And they had those island slushy kind of drinks. So at first I was like...this is my new weekend hangout. Then our drinks came. They were small and in little plastic cups. Wuhoh. Then our food came. I should have known it wouldn't be fresh. The price wasa little *too* good. When I asked about the catch of the day it was like four different things. I ended up with a buffalo grouper sandwich (grouper was one of the four things). I have had a fresh buffalo grouper sandwich in Clearwater before and that was in 2019 and I still remember it 7 years later. This buffalo grouper sandwich? Oh no. First of all it was this thin, flat battered fried cutlet thing. The breading absorbed the buffalo sauce so I couldn't taste it very much though they did bring me a lot of Bleu cheese dressing. The fish was bad. I bit into it and it tasted fishy and it was dry. Honestly if I hadn't been super hungry I would have just not eaten it. On top of that, I paid an extra dollar to upgrade from fries to hushpuppies. These were legit hushpuppies, but hushpuppies are small and how many did they bring me? 5. Are you kidding? Again, in Florida these are brought free by the basket. They're literally just fried up balls of corn meal. I think that may have offended me more than the bad fish. My husband went witb BBQ pulled chicken and fries and said both were good. So. Here are my thoughts. Would I come here again in the summer for fun vibes and good service? Yes. Would I set low expectations for my food and drink? Yes. Would I probably just order a softdrink and stick to something simple they can't screw up like a quesadilla and fries? Yeeeeeeeah.

This restaurant is fantastic. My husband booked it for our second wedding anniversary and it was a…read moregreat treat. The service is wonderful - they brought us a complementary glass of Prosecco, anniversary note, and everyone was lovely. The food is delicious, you really cannot go wrong with anything. The pineapple bread is AMAZING. Chicken was really fresh and good. Chocolate cake dessert was also wonderful. One really nice thing about this restaurant is that you could order from both the happy hour menu and the à la carte menu or just one person in your party can do the prefix option without making everyone else do it. The flexibility is really nice and it allows you a lot of different options to enjoy the food. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a good restaurant. I have a feeling this restaurant will reach a Michelin star one day so definitely good to try it now while you can!

It's a great, chill and lowkey vibe if you're not looking for a loud and crowded bar. Their food selection is so good with a wide range of grilled cheeses as well! They have a rotating menu of drinks that they do at the bar and the service is great. The bartenders are personable and kind and always open to giving you a sample before you decide on a drink. Definitely worth a visit! There is a small lot in the front, I've never struggled to get parking before but would be cautious if you're going on a Friday or Saturday night!

There are tasting menu, prie fixe, and a la carte options and you can mix and match at the table. Don't sleep on the cocktail/mocktail situation, and my friend who did the wine pairing did compliment the pairs. They do drinks well here. They are also very generous with the DELICIOUS bread and butter for the table. The highlights at our table were: - yuzu mocktail - crab tostada - branzino (one of the best fish dishes I've ever had) - katsu wagyu beef (never had anything like it, GET IT) - chocolate tart Service was grand. We were a bit of a rowdy bunch compared to the other clientele (this place is pretty classy, but no strict dress code or anything -- would recommend looking nice-ish, however) and they made sure we were taken care of. I would absolutely return here to try more of the menu and not hesitate to recommend it! Excellent!

The pace in which we were served was perfect for such a setting. It really let us enjoy our meal without feeling rushed. Our primary waiter was personable and fun.

Kindred Cafe demonstrates exactly how simple breakfast items should be prepared. I stopped in for a…read moremid-morning weekday breakfast and ordered the veggie egg scramble with toast and potatoes, alongside an oat milk vanilla latte. While a scramble sounds simple on paper, it is easy to overcook the vegetables. This one was executed perfectly, with every vegetable done just right. The thin-sliced potatoes were highly seasoned and stood out, moving away from the standard, heavy breakfast spuds you get at most places. The presentation across the board was excellent. The latte arrived with a nice touch--a small side cookie and a club soda to cleanse the palate, which shows a level of intentionality you don't always find. The staff members were incredibly friendly and gracious from start to finish. With fast Wi-Fi and a comfortable environment, it is an ideal spot to get some quality laptop time. It's a great addition to the local lineup.

I've wanted to try this place for a long time, and honestly, it was a letdown…read more I walked in with one other person--so a party of two--and while it was busy, there were clearly open tables. We were told we could sit at the bar or outside, but when we asked for one of the open tables, we were denied because they were "reserved for parties of three." That just doesn't make sense. We're still paying customers, ready to order food and drinks. Denying service like that--especially with empty tables in plain sight--feels unnecessary and rigid. I even asked twice, hoping for a little flexibility, but the answer didn't change. I work in the service industry, and this is exactly the kind of situation where you make an exception or use some common sense. Instead, it felt like policy over hospitality. Really disappointing experience for a place I was excited to try.

The Casual Pint is a great spot for beer lovers! They offer over 30 beers on tap plus 5 wines (two…read morewhite, a rose, a red, and prosecco). They also always have NA root beer, and ciders on tap for gluten-free folks or those who just don't like beer. You can get a crowler (can) or growler to-go of any beer on tap at any time. They also have two large coolers of canned beer, ciders, NA beer, NA beverages, and more that you can take with your or enjoy on site. There is a 40% discount for 6+ beers to go. This place has a large and established regular scene. They also have a Mug Club membership which gets you more beer per pour and some other perks. There is both indoor and outdoor seating and dogs are welcome outside. There's also several TVs for sports, and a ton of board and card games you can play. Jeff does a stellar job every Tuesday with trivia. There are themed trivia nights (Disney, Harry Potter, Marvel, etc.) sometimes that tend to get PACKED. So if you're planning to go, plan ahead and go early. The kitchen staff rock and are efficient at getting food out quickly. Everything is cooked in an oven. The pretzel and beer cheese is very popular and yummy. The food overall is average, but Darren does a good job of rotating specials throughout the year. Some of my personal favorite items (note some are specials) : Philly cheesesteak eggrolls, BBQ chicken nachos, German brat, CBR flatbread + drunken onions and peppers, the Apple pie quesadilla and the Elvis dilla. If you're looking for an amazing sit down dinner, this probably isn't your spot. But if you're looking for a great beer selection, awesome people, and a bite to eat this is definitely for you! The staff are all friendly and knowledgeable on beer. A few of them have the level 1 Cicerone certification. Admittedly, I bartended here for a year and just recently left due to moving. I frequented this place before I started working and I will return from time to time now as a customer. This is my honest feedback.

Been wanting to try this place for a while.

We stand there for almost ten minutes, still no greeting and my son notices a sign that says "order here". Fine. Skipping a lot of frustrating banter with the woman at the register, who I hope has an excuse like it was her first day... The beer list was good, the pours were nice, temp was a little colder than room temperature, which I'm fine with but some people don't love it. The food was just ok, with the tots being the clear winner. I would go back for the beer (they have "to-go" in addition to draft) and it seemed like the bartender was friendly if you were sitting at the bar. But I wouldn't bring the kids or sit for a meal again.

The online system for…read morereservations was smooth and easy to use couple clicks and my reservation was confirmed even when booking after hours arriving at the restaurant, it took us about 10 minutes to get our table. This delay was understandable given the holiday itself. Upon meeting our waiter, Tim B. he guided us through the menu and made us feel at home with the service. The waiter was very courteous, very reserved and very well dressed in mannered. Despite this, he was also very entertaining and fun. He recommended we give the Father's Day special a try which included a select few meals along with appetizer and dessert options all for one price. There was also a special cocktail available only for Father's Day: a maple bacon and bourbon whisky. After placing our orders, I went with the crab bisque, which was okay, I'm not normally a fan of seafood and was attempting to try something different. I ended up with the 6 ounce filet mignon which included a rosemary glaze along with grilled asparagus, a loaded baked potato, and creamed corn with bacon. I also added the blue cheese butter topping to my steak, which was very great. The overall meal was amazing. The steak was nice and juicy and very tender. Finishing it off with a berries and cream dessert I was left feeling fully satisfied. Overall, a wonderful place for celeberating Father's Day.
