Smash burger sliders
Evbu O.

I've been to The Locket probably 3x since it's opening. I really like it. It's beautifully decorated located in the Hilton hotel with large open windows. The staff is always so friendly and attentive. Especially the first waitress I had, Mercedes. Onto the food. For appetizers I've ordered: -The oysters, 8/10. -The burger sliders, so good and pretty filling for an appetizer 9/10 -calamari, tasty and very seasoned . 8.5/10 For entrees I've had: - The 7 Oz filet mignon. It is good and despite its oz it keeps you full. Although a bit expensive. - Friends had mussels, they loved it. - I also tried the salmon which was good but not amazing. - I don't recommend the crab dip. It was a bit bland. For brunch I've tried: - the eggs Benedict, astounding. The asparagus was cooked perfectly. But the ham was a bit too salty and The French toast was good too. All in all, i really like this place. The staff is magnificent, the drinks are fantastic and the food is pretty good.

4.5 for certain! Stopped in for the $55 special for Thanksgiving. Menu included a starter, two selections of meat, three sides, and a dessert. I had the butternut squash bisque, stuffing, mac and cheese, and whipped potatoes, as well as the filet mignon and salmon, with pumpkin cheesecake for dessert. The salmon was a bit rarer than I expected (with perfectly crispy edges) and the steak a bit less rare (and I wish it hadn't been sauced). My cocktail was similar to a bees knees and it was delicious. I also ordered a decaf Americano to have alongside my dessert. I wouldn't say the decor was surprising for a hotel, nothing much to write home about. There was some food left under my table including some french fries, possibly from lunch. There was a bit of a snafu with my water - either being a dirty glass or the pitcher having flavored water by accident - it was quickly remedied. All things considered, it was an absolutely delicious meal and a wonderful alternative to cooking. Total with included gratuity came to about $96. Btw service was fast, kind, and attentive.

As everyone else has mentioned, Locket is on the first floor of the Hilton in Rosslyn. The good news is that you can park in the hotel garage, and the restaurant validates parking! Unfortunately, for me, it was downhill from there. I had their Caesar Salad and the New Frontier Bison New York Strip. There was so much dressing that the salad was more like Caesar soup. When I mentioned it to our waiter, he smiled and nodded in agreement. Unfortunately, for me, it was downhill from there. The steak was tough and tasteless. The toughness was surprising, as it goes against the purpose of a NY Strip cut. The tastelessness explains the need for all the additional flavorings that came with it. They didn't help. I noticed that someone at the table to my right ordered a burger, and someone to my left ordered a pizza. Both of those looked pretty good. I would order either of those if I ever come back.

Salmon and quinoa. Very good.

We were skeptical from some reviews but staying at the hotel made it so convenient so we tried it and glad we did. I really enjoyed the Cobb salad with lobster. The dressing was very good also. Husband had the salmon which he also enjoyed. Went back for breakfast. Coffee is superb. Husband had scrambled eggs with potatoes and French toast and said was all very good. I had 2 poached eggs and toast and was perfect. We will be back again before our trip ends. Service was also very good and management che,ked in on us each time. We felt welcome and we're recognized upon our return.

penne pomodoro + grilled chicken

very grateful that there was space at this hotel restaurant for my party at the last minute! after finishing the marine corps marathon, i planned to have a post-race celebratory lunch with my family & friends, i.e. my supporters/cheer squad, nearby. mom found this restaurant on a day's notice and booked 13.00. unfortunately, i wasn't able to reunite with them post-race until closer to 13.30, hence we pushed the reservation back, but we were still a bit late, but they still took us, THANK YOU!! we saw many other marathon finishers here, and their people, in the lobby, in the restaurant, in the restrooms. the hotel was spacious...hmm, maybe i should have stayed here the night before the race, lol! it was only a couple blocks from the finish line, and very close to the rosslyn metro station. although i wasn't super hungry (after running 26.2mi, it usually takes some time to get the appetite back) i knew i wanted to put some good carbs and protein back into my body. i chose the penne pomodoro and added a breast of grilled chicken on top. this was the perfect post-race meal for me, pasta with roasted mushrooms, english peas, tossed in marinara sauce and extra virgin olive oil. the chicken was made perfectly, if anything, a little too much b/c i couldn't quite finish it! but the pasta was perfect, not too heavy, and definitely filling up my stomach that had been thru a traumatic 42km for 4+ hrs! service was great, quick, but calm, and they let us sit there a while without being disturbed. staff even took a photo for us at the end so that i could remember this meal.

The food and service were very good; the waiter and manager knew all about gluten-free options. On a busy evening after the Marine Corps Marathon, service was pleasantly efficient. Worth a return visit.

Called ahead and was surprised by the quoted wait time. Once we arrived we waited maybe 10 minutes…read more I expected it to be way more packed on a Saturday at lunchtime. Service was ok. The hostess was friendly but our server was kind of cold. No greeting or checking in during the meal. Just took our order and then didn't comeback until we flagged her down at the end for our check. We came here specifically for the vegan options offered. Good portion sizes and we were happy with how everything was cooked. Nothing tasted greasy or too salty. I took home half of my California omelette and sides. I liked the classic diner interior. The dining area and restrooms were clean. I would definitely come back here again.

I definitely would say I ordered the wrong thing, so that could be on me. I ordered the gluten free…read morequinoa and coconut pancakes. They were nothing like what I expected. I thought they would be light and airy and delicious, but they were very thick and heavy and overly sweet. I thought it would have perhaps coconut flour and/or sort of a delicate tasty coconut flavor. But it was full of lots of large amounts of big shredded coconut within the pancakes, which overwhelmed them. The texture was not appealing, and the flavor and experience wasn't what I expected. The service was great, and so was the coffee. The menu looked like lots of good options. I'd likely give it another try, but probably try ordering an egg dish or something.

This location is more spacious than the original one at Columbia Pike. It has high ceiling and…read morebetter lighting. Went here on a Saturday morning for brunch. We sat ourselves as usual. Just like it's other branches, Bob & Edith's Diner serve breakfast food anytime of the day. They have omelets, sandwiches, burgers, subs, fried chicken, waffles, pancakes, steaks, etc. I got the specialty hotcake (chocolate chip) with 2 eggs and sausages. You have a choice of chocolate chip hotcake, blueberry hotcake, pecan waffle or waffle with blueberry toppings. Like my review of its other location, their food was good and reliable. Our server was distracted though. When I ordered my food, he did not say that I had a choice between bacon, sausage, or ham. He said, "It comes with bacon. Is that okay with you?" To other customers who do not know that they have options, they would probably just say yes or no. Since I knew, I had him change it. When it came to payment, we were offering 3 credit cards to divide the check. However, he initially just got one of ours but before he reached the register he realized he only got one of our cards so he went back. He then gave each one's check one at a time with only a pen for everyone. Nevertheless, would still give this spot a 4/5.

It's a breakfast joint. The food is fine, but nothing out of the ordinary. It's fast and…read moreconvenient. And if that's what you need, then that's what you'll get. Parking is a challenge, so you may need to find a spot in one of the adjacent buildings.

Nothing that matches my home throne. *4.0 out of 5* for the mens restroom. I was told women was just the same that day. Now regarding the actual restaurant! Walking in felt normal and I noticed nothing that would make me upset. Walking in I am lucky to get the pancake smell take over :) About the spot. It felt like such a breakfast joint for sure. The vibe was great and the bar made it seem like I would go there for a shake when my wife isn't down for a breakfast lunch. *4.2/5* The mirrors made it feel nice and spacious for me. The food was awesome! It was exactly what I wanted from a place like this. The chicken waffle and bacon is what I want. Cooked well. Not to dry. Not to wet. Not burnt. Not undercooked. Not under cooked. Maybe I was lucked. Much better than IHOP. *4.5/5* for Chicken Waffle with bacon. Very happy. The syrup they use went very will with the food they cooked.Overall I like this breakfast house. It ended up to an average 17 per person for my multiple trips. So do as you will with that.

My personal favorites include their Belgian-style waffles and hash browns. The waffles are perfectly crispy and airy and any topping is delicious. The hashbrowns are always hot and crispy, a perfect accompaniment to eggs, bacon, sausage, and usual breakfast foods. The staff here is really nice, friendly, and warm. It really the experience even more special. I always have a bunch of questions about the menu and the servers are always patient and helpful. Lastly, I like that the place is always clean! Sometimes, diners can be divvy or downright dirty, but not Van Dorn Diner.
