This is a cute little restaurant. It's sorta like a diamond in the rough. The outside I think should be little more updated. You really have to be on the lookout for this place, it's really easy to miss. The inside is very quaint, nice lil ambience. It's only about 8 tables seating 2 or 4. The menu is very small but I think it has enough of items that people would be happy with. Very unique all around. The waiter was very nice and seemed very cheerful. He was the only one there. They had a set 3 course meal for $35 which was great. I had the empanadas as the appetizer (it centre with 2, presentation was nice), green gnocchi as my main dish, it was just ok; nothing to write home about. It was on the side side and I would have preferred to see the gnocchi a lil more form. Lithuanian honelayer cake for dessert, it wasn't terrible but I wouldn't get it again. Overall the place is nice, try it atleast once only because it's different. read more

Edit: following the comments of the business owner I would like to add some things. 1. The appetite of someone in their 50s or later is naturally going to be less than that of someone that's below 40. Everyone there was older than us. 2. As one of four courses really all four were tiny. I'm sure anyone of sound mind and body can say that a single empanada as one of the courses and two ice cream balls that are 1 inch or less in diameter with a pastry 1 inch or less in diameter would not be to the average person. 3. The name of your restaurant does not reflect anything about your passions in your food that you're making. 4. When I can compare all of your food to places that are much cheaper and don't need a reservation I'm definitely making some legitimate points there. A. The ice cream from your ice cream balls was not of a better quality than Häagen-Dazs across the street. I can get 3 scoops for under $10. B. I can definitely appreciate that you value your childhood street Food. However, you just give one empanada and splash some sauce on the side that does not make it fancy or filling. Empanadas de Mendoza which is about a seven minute drive from your place makes b etter vegetarian empanadas. And I can get two for under $10. Street food is not fancy if you're charging a $59 price tag for a meal and it's based on street food, that food should be elevated for a high price restaurant. Street food should be for the food trucks or fast food places and the snack food you love won't necessarily appeal to the pallet of a paying customer expecting a gourmet meal for a gourmet price. C. The lamb with pasta dish was not very good and a place like tasty kebab in Boro gives you lamb rice and salad with at least 5X quantity of food for $13 and better taste. 5. As I said, the waiter was not very attentive. I did not feel compelled to make a scene and ask for the manager, or go back to the kitchen to complain. If you don't directly open up that line of communication with the customer or make them feel like they are welcome to say good, bad, or ugly. If you want to get a hold of me to make it right? I'm happy to do that. 6. I would suggest you follow the model of Patsy's American nearby. They hate even a four star review. They will do what it takes to make things right with the customer. 7. This meal was the most expensive meal for two my wife and I have ever paid for. I frankly have eaten better with her for $70 less in the Tysons Ritz Carlton restaurant with a much better ambience and better service. You guys should frankly give at least ree more courses or increase your portion sizes. If I spend that much on a meal, I really expect to be swept off my feet and neither me or my wife felt that way. The food should be so good that it distracts us from the ugly surroundings of the street right in front. 8. I mean this as respectful as possible, and I'm not out to target your business for some grudge but I do feel robbed for what we paid. The food cost me and my wife, each a day of pay from our job. I don't care what category of restaurants it is whether it's a corporation or mom and pop. When you charge the prices that you charge, your business should be prepared to handle upset customers. I am upset with the food, service, ambience, and price. 9. If you want to ensure that a customer doesn't report their experience on their social media platforms, etc. you should give your customers a card with maybe a website and a QR code where they can see if they had a bad experience or good one and if they had a bad experience, you could promise them to respond within 24 to 48 hours before they leave a bad review. If you feel your business is as great as you think, make customer satisfaction a guarantee. 10. I stayed within the factual as possible in my review. I gave you plenty of things that you can fix. I don't think in my entire 37 years of life I have been given so many things a restaurant has done wrong that they can fix but especially the location/ambience It screams "leave!" the moment you see it. I am just but one reviewer. I'm sure if you ask 100 people what they think of the location there would be a common consensus right there. I do hope you can grow from this review. 11. Invite Gordon Ramsay to your restaurant. I'm sure you'll see that he will agree with me. Show him my review too if you do get a hold of him. Have a good day. I hope you grow from this. read more

Wow. The food was insanely delicious. We started with the Beet Soup, Empanadas, and Pork Belly with Octopus. Main course was Lamb Ragu and Pork Confit Steak. The Pork Belly and Lamb Ragu were the winners--you must get theseeee. Now. The food is really top notch--some of the best I've had--but the place definitely needs a facelift to match the quality of the food. Pretty cool it's only about 10 tables though. read more

Truly enjoyed my dining experience here. The food was exceptional and the service spot on. I'll definitely be back to do the 4 course tasting menu again read more

This was such a disappointing dining experience. We want to this restaurant on Mothers Day and had to stop at a nearby Greek restaurant on the way home for food. The menu choices on the price fixe menu (the only menu available) were much too limited. The appetizer consisted of a root cake, an egg square thing, and a tiny empanada. Only the empanada tasted good. For the main course, I ordered the pancake and received one sad little pancake that had a teeny dollop of crème fraiche and jam in the center. Oh, it had a bunch of fried potatoes and one strip of mushy bacon. For dessert, I received 1/4 of a macaroon (seriously), some sort of purple mousse, and a dried out little pastry with a drop of chocolate in the middle. One member of our party had ordered the eggs as his entree and, although he loves truffle, the voluminous amount of truffle oil used by the chef made the eggs entirely inedible. The server was also not great, but that's another story for another day. Finally, the kicker to this awful meal came when the bill had preprinted amounts for 20%, 30%, and 40% on the POST-tax amount! Insane. I've traveled the world and eaten at places of various calibers, but today's experience is easily one of the worst. read more

Cute little spot in Vienna. Charming ambiance and great quality food! We got the crispy broccoli, truffle gnocchi, chicken wings (special of the day/week?), barsotto, and empanadas. The barsotto was basically risotto except with barley. Wasn't my favorite, but that's because I'm just not a fan of barely. Definitely great for those health freaks out there though. Empanadas were perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside and good ratios of meat/potatoes/peas on the inside. Crispy/fried broccoli was amazing along with the minty sauce that came with it. My friends were a big fan of the truffle gnocchi but I think it was a little heavy on the truffle flavor. Chicken wings were average. I feel like the wings were small and didn't have a lot of meat on them. Could've been crispier and wish the buffalo sauce had more of a kick. Overall a very satisfying meal and good service! read more

It's been almost a year since my last visit...and I still feel about the same. 3.5 stars...but I normally round up for small businesses. Better than a-okay, but not a fan yet. Came here for the Bottomless Brunch. That ONLY refers to the bottomless mimosas for $15. The brunch menu features small plates. Two small plates are recommended and roughly equates to one main plate. The favorite seemed to be the Beer Battered Shrimp ($16), but with only 4 shrimp on a small bed of fries, that was some expensive shrimp. The Chicken Noodle Soup ($12) looked like chicken noodle soup but the soup base tasted unmistakeably like Pho. The girls really liked it. The Suki Yaki Shrimp ($8) was alright. The coconut makes this dish taste more Malaysian than something evocative of Japanese cuisine. The Truffled Eggs ($7) was delicious and my first time deciphering the taste of truffle oil. Very unique. Considering how small this place was, I was delightfully surprised they had a high chair! Bottomline - Don't come here if you're hungry, unless you don't mind leaving with an empty wallet. Come here to relax and enjoy the food. read more

On our way to NOVA from VA Beach we decided to check out Maple Ave for lunch. We arrived around 12.30 and had to wait about 10 minutes before a table cleared up for us. The restaurant is extremely small; it sits about maybe 30 max and has about 10 or so tables. The waiter and host is one and the same and was very nice and knowledgeable about the menu. I got the braised pork belly with sunny side egg, and rice. My wife got the omelette and our two other friends got a chicken sandwich and mussels in a tomato broth. I completely destroyed my dish and wiped it clean because I was so hungry but also because it was delicious too. I wish there were a few more pieces of the perfectly seasoned pork belly but I left content and not overly fully. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their meal and the home fries from my wife's plate were very good (I could have eaten a whole plate of that). The price were a little bit high but I guess everything in NOVA is a few dollars more for the same meal elsewhere. Our friend complemented her bf's chicken sandwich so much that I want to try it on my next visit up here! SN: there's only one bathroom down a long hallway and if there's a wait you may just want to wait at your table until they come out b/c the hallway is very narrow. read more

Wow this place is tiny!! Conversation is amplified by 10 in this place! Just FYI. There are probably about 12 tables. I ordered the Shrimp and Grits as an appetizer. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and the plate itself was a good portion. I would highly recommend this dish. Then ordered the Rice Bowl. Wow how disappointing. I thought the spam and pork belly were going to be chopped up next to the rice kimchi and fried egg. It was separate almost like a bento box. It was very overpriced at $16 and had to cut up everything, kind of defeats the purpose of it being in a bowl don't you think? Also had the kimchi burger. Bread was really dry. Kimchi was cooked well so that was pretty yum. I ordered the burger medium but it just tasted pretty dry and was really odd with the fries, I think they need a better side that goes with it. Then ordered the funnel cake and chocolate dumpling for dessert. Both were gross and definitely not worth $6 each. I would stick to something they don't cook, like mochi ice cream. The chocolate dumping tasted like it had regular hershey's syrup in it and the dough wasn't pastry dough it was the type of dough you used for wontons. I almost had the urge to dip it in soy sauce. I was really looking forward to eating here because the menu sounded amazing but left disappointed and definitely not returning again. read more

I wanted so badly to love the food. Everything was just ok. One reason I might not have enjoyed it as much as other people is because I like my food really hot- like, straight out of the oven, hot. It's not that the food was cold; I'm pretty sure the temperature that I received my food was the way it was intended. Fusion flavors were o.k., nothing I'd dream about. It's worth going to if you want to try something other than GAR in nova. Have an open mind, a glass or two of wine and don't expect fireworks. N O T E S/ S E R V I C E -It's an ideal place for a first date. If you're taking someone out, it makes you look thoughtful because this place is so unique to other chain restaurants in nova. The food is moderately priced and the vibe is sophisticated-chic without being pretentious, so it looks like you're willing to spend money without actually having to spend too much. People come in dressed anywhere from casual to dressed up, so it's not stuffy. -Service is awesome. Staff is knowledgeable about their food, wine selection and pairings. I guess it's hard to mess up in a restaurant so small, but for the number of plates and things ordered to the ratio of servers, they do a great job. -This place is shockingly small, from the outside and even moreso from the inside. I've driven by this place a million times and never noticed it until I came here for dinner. It didn't bother me being inside. Actually the compact-ness gave this place a quaint, cozy feel. I can't imagine what it's like when there's a long wait and I definitely do not suggest this place for large groups without reservation. F O O D My friend ordered the creme fraiche wings, braised beef cheek, and bread pudding; I ordered the shrimp and grits, seared scallops and mochi flight. Grits and beef were the best. Can't say much about the beef though because I only had a bite. W I N G S Definitely not your average fried chicken wings, and not in a good way. Oversauced and weird flavor. Cooked well, nice and crispy, but the creme fraiche kinda threw me off. In case you've never had creme fraiche, it's like sour cream, but a little sweeter. S H R I M P + G R I T S This was good. One of my favorite parts of dinner. Not good enough for me to come back though. S C A L L O P S I was looking forward to this dish the most- it was a hype. Scallops were fresh, cooked perfectly, and well seasoned. Risotto was nice a creamy. I liked the hint of basil from the ice cream, but didn't like the ice cream in the dish. The whole dish didn't taste "cohesive" (I sound snobby), it tasted like scallops and risotto with a scoop of ice cream in the middle. It might've worked if the ice cream was slightly more savory? I didn't like the strikingly cold ice cream while eating warm food, but I might not be imaginative enough to appreciate it. Anyway the experience fell short for me, especially compared to what other yelp reviews said. D E S S E R T Between the mochi sampler and bread pudding, the bread pudding was the clear winner. read more

Modest appearance hiding great food and friendly service. Risotto was perfectly cooked. Will return for brunch.

Have been here for both dinner and brunch and it's always a delight. The menu is great and the service is wonderful. I also enjoy how intimate this place is. Highly recommend! read more

Expensive but fully worth it. Intimate dining with wonderful service. Sweet desserts.

The restaurant is a good restaurant and worth a visit. Food, service and ambiance is average but worth a try.

This is my go-to favorite restaurant in the area! The have my favorite carbs, gnocchi and spaetzle. Don't expect them to have the same menu every time you come. I recommend to call for reservations. I remember showing up when no one was there and almost all the tables were reserved. In an instant, the tables were filled. The parking area is small and has one lane for entering and exiting. I recommend have a Plan B to park elsewhere during peak hours. The place is small and quaint. Maybe a little crowded for some bc the tables are close together. They have one small unisex bathroom so I recommend using your facilities before arriving if possible. read more

Cute little restaurant where I met two of my best friends for brunch. I'm glad we made reservations since this place was so little but so charming :) We sat down immediately and my friend and I decided to do the 38$ brunch for two :) First we had granola with honey and Berry compote. So delicious! The berries were tart but the honey balanced the tartness out really well. Next was the truffle eggs and bacon. You can def. Taste the truffle oil in the eggs which was an interesting touch. Next is the beef empanadas. Yum yum yum! It's been awhile since I had really good empanadas. We then got a platter with various spreads and bread. That was okay dish out of all the other outstanding dishes. The potato hash with pork belly was amazing but I wish there was more then just one piece of pork belly. The finishing touch to our meal was the chocolate pie tart with ice cream. We we're so full and satisfied :) our waitress was also really great and made sure out glasses were full of water and our coffee was always coming :) Overall great dining experience ! Can't wait to come back again ! read more

Delicious food, perfect intimate ambiance and service. It is very small so reservations are a must! Parking lot is also small so be prepared to park across the street and walk over if no parking. But, it worth the trouble! read more

Wonderful brunch with my sister, and here's why: - We got the Brunch for two and every course was just to die for. Preparation and presentation were tops. - Bottomless Poinsetta's (cranberry juice, cava, triple sec) -- We definitely drank "our $'s worth" and with the added triple sec kicker, these little beauties taste great and get you where you want to be and FAST :D DO NOT MISS: BEST. MAC & CHEESE. EVER. I tried to convince the server that he hadn't brought out the mac&cheese course so we could have another foodgasm -- perfect balance of cheese and baked top, and the noodles are actually spiral (I think fusilli) so they really capture the flavors very nicely. I posted a pic, but as you can see, by the time I snapped the pic, it was already half disappeared, lol! FRIED GREEN TOMATOES. WOW. Very lightly fried, but still very crisp on the outside. Also posted a pic to give you an idea...just fantastic. WHAT I DIDN'T LOVE: Location. Hate the traffic on Maple Ave - luckily, however, they do have a little parking lot. Chairs were not super comfy. I feel like plush chairs would complement the decadence of the food while letting you kick back and relax - just a thought :) Most of all, it was wonderful to find a friendly local place in Fairfax made by and for foodies with great service. Truly a rare gem! Save a table for me - I'm coming back whenever I can make it down south again! read more

As a vegetarian, I didn't find too many options at this place. But whatever I did order, I liked it. The restaurant is very small so make to make reservations before going. We were a group of 5, and it did get a bit tight. Here is what I ordered: - Crispy Broccoli: Delicious. This is really good and I finished off the plate. - Ricotta Pancake: I am not a fan of ricotta but they couldn't make this without it. It was decent and you may like it if you don't care for ricotta. - Fries: the fries are seasoned well and taste yummy. Overall, the experience was decent. I definitely wish it was more veggie friendly and a few more options to choose from. read more

I came here with my husband for Restaurant Week lunch. This is a super small restaurant with very limited decor. But there are big windows and makes the place super bright, which I enjoyed seeing that it has been quite a dreary winter. Our waitress was ok. She was nice and was attentive enough. But she also did not know her menu. My husband is vegan and she was very confused by this whenever we asked questions about a menu item. She kept running back into the kitchen (granted it's not far since this seriously is a small restaurant) to ask the chef our questions. It kind of did not give us much confidence about the establishment if their front end staff don't know what vegan is. I started with the squash nuggets, which was actually seasoned well and the herb yogurt was excellent. However, the carrots looked sad and limp and my squash weren't cut uniformly so some nuggets were a bit undercooked. My husband started with the beet soup, which you would assume would be pretty darn vegan. But because all the other accompaniments weren't vegan (it was suppose to be topped with some cream) the chef on a whim added an herbed oil or something to make it more flavorful. Thank goodness they did that because the beet soup on its own did not taste of much. For our mains, I ordered the pulled pork sandwich because I am a sucker for pulled pork. They schmeared so much truffle aioli! It was a bit excessive. The pork was nice and tender, but the bbq sauce was a bit ho hum. Nothing really stood out about the sandwich. It was adequate, but certainly not something to write home about. My fries were seriously the frozen kind that they just fried and topped with fresh herbs to pass off as if they were real homemade fries. If they weren't, they sure tasted like it. My husband ordered the gnocchi, which was probably the best plate from our lunch. The gnocchi were perfect little pillows of goodness with a great sauce. It certainly did not need any cheese. I regret not ordering this myself. As for dessert, I ordered the cheesecake mousse. The actual mousse part tasted great; a very lighter version of a cheesecake. The crumble was more ginger than coconut. And even those flavors really overpowered the softness of the mousse. There was no balance to this dessert. Overall I wasn't really impressed by this restaurant. I really wanted to like it. But it failed to hit the mark and I'm not sure if I want to come back. read more

The most delicious and creative meal we have eaten in a long time! Between my husband and I, we ordered every choice available and each bite was scrumptious. Highly recommend this small gem of culinary Heaven. Hats off to the chef. read more

I had my third 6 course brunch for 2 this past week and as usual I'm very happy with my meal. The 6 course brunch for 2 is $38 total (so $19 per person). They change it slightly every few months, so sometimes you'll get something new mixed in with your old favorites. I loved every course every time I've been, being surprised with things I've never tried or thought I didn't like. My favorite, which has been on every menu I've seen so far, is the truffle eggs and bacon. The eggs are super fluffy and not dry, and the truffle flavor is something special. I also love the brunch cocktails! Their sangria is my favorite sangria, and I just tried the poinsettia cocktail, which is prosecco (champagne?) and cranberry juice with a maraschino cherry. I love prosecco + cranberry juice so that was a treat for me. I highly recommend this place for brunch, but I also recommend making a reservation since the restaurant only has about 8 tables that seat 2-4 people. read more

Highly recommended this place! They are doing take out and they are doing well!! We just got the empanadas and two of the mojito sangrias as an appetizer before dinner elsewhere. The mojito sangrias were odd to be honest, but not bad. I don't think I would get them again, but it was fun to try something new. The empanadas were next level delicious though. I can't wait to try the rest of their menu. read more

Atmosphere: Small, very small, like max capacity of 18/20 guests. It seems very casual, almost too casual, if it weren't for the upscale quality of the food. Food: All so very delicious! Small Plates: Grits and Shrimp-comes with a bit of sausage too so I liked that a lot. The sauce in it made it very tasty. I was surprised that it wasn't warmer... I would've liked it to be warmer. Fried chicken with a very very delicious sauce--gobbled that right up. Entree--maroccan chicken-flavorful and a nice cream sauce. BF was disappointed at the portion... it did look a little on the small side, too bad he wasn't filled up by it. My entree was the Scallops with Risotto and ice cream--that was delicious. Really. The basil ice cream really complimented the creaminess of the risotto nicely. The scallops were of course cooked to perfection. They change their menu every week or so, add a dish or so. Definitely go back and check out their ever changing menu. I wasn't super enticed by the dessert menu this time, I do hear they have good pie--key lime wasn't my thing--will be back to try others. =) Parking lot in the back. Service was nice. read more

Writing an update because I forgot how delicious this place is. I am a fan of Tim Ma's restaurants (water & wall, maple ave, kyirisan - have not tried chase the submarine yet), and there are a few dishes here that are also served at kyirisan. The place is tiny, like 8 or so 4 top tables. Very small dining room and tiny parking lot. The service is extremely attentive and food doesn't take too long. As far as food goes, everything I've had here is delicious. Most recently, went with: creme fraiche wings - these are delicious (also served at Kyirisan) mussels with chinese sausage/coconut broth - also very good (and also served at Kyirisan). Need to order extra crostinis though to get all of the delicious broth bone marrow - 3 large bones, crostinis, very rich and tasty braised beef cheek - perfectly tender, served on top of semolina which is like a super thin, creamy mashed potato with a demi sauce. duck confit - duck leg cooked perfectly, the brussels that are served with this are seriously amazing. gnocchi - this was a favorite of mine, perfectly cooked gnocchi with asparagus, pesto, mushrooms, and shaved manchego. delicious bottom line, the food is on point and the service is good. Make a reservation due to the small size. You won't be disappointed read more

The food here is very high quality. The place doesn't look the part but the food will blow your mind. It's very small inside so best option is to do a takeout. We liked everything from the menu and hope to order from here again. read more

I was debating between 3-star vs. 4-star. I wish I could give 3.5 or 3.75 stars. Maple Ave Restaurant offers the eclectic, American, fusion cuisine. We visited on Tuesday evening with the three courses for $35 per person. This place is small with probably no more than ten tables. The service was excellent and friendly. The atmosphere was casual, comfortable with dimmed lights at night. The value is reasonable. However, for the 3-course meal setting, I expected more in the quality, rather than the quantity. For appetizers, we had crispy broccoli (Pablo breading, picked sun-dried raisins, caraway spice with herb yogurt sauce), and chicken empanadas (roasted free range chicken, mixed greens, smoked paprika sauce). The taste was good, except we didn't expect the deep frying taste/part. The crispy broccoli was hard, rather than crispy. For the mains, we had PEI mussels (smoked tomato broth, caramelized onion, herbs, and baguette (note: I requested not to include the Black Forest ham because I don't eat meat). The mussels still tasted delicious, except for the little sands. That's why I removed 1/2 star. My friend had the char salad (sustainable fish, greens, soy brined egg, taggiasca olive with cream waster vinaigrette). Good presentation. For deserts, we had pumpkin cheesecake mousse with graham crumb and whipped cream, and Lithuanian honey layer cake with cinnamon, allspice/ caramelized honey, whipped sour lemon cream. We like the deserts because they were perfect and not too sweet. read more

Five stars without a doubt! I can't even tell you how many times I must have passed by this restaurant in the past without even considering it. It's super tiny and simple with an equally small parking lot in the back, which is why it's imperative to make reservations. Even though my friend and I didn't know to make a reservation for brunch one Saturday morning, we were lucky enough to get a table. And boy am I happy we did! We were greeted by a friendly hostess and all throughout our visit there, helped by a very pleasant and accommodating server. We ordered Man-mosa and Currant Affairs to drink and Almond Ricotta Pancakes and Braised Pork Belly to eat. My friend enjoyed his Man-mosa which was a mix of IPA, orange juice and triple sec. I'm not a fan of beer, so I can't speak to the taste but I think it's cool to have a male version of a mimosa (lol). I normally drink black currant tea, so I figured I wouldn't be disappointed in the Currant Affairs drink which is black currant and sparkling wine. I wasn't disappointed, but the drink was a bit too sweet for my taste. Now onto the food (drooling just writing about it). The pancakes came with house fries, but forget about those fries. My pancakes were beyond delicious! The ricotta cheese and almonds were mixed in in the batter and it tasted oh so good. The pork belly was freaking yummy! It came with rice, bean puree, sunny side egg and adobo BBQ sauce - perfect mixture. As a matter of fact, it was so good I ordered one to go and had it for lunch hahaha. Overall very pleased with the brunch. I can't wait to try it for dinner! read more

I hosted my best friends Bridal Shower Brunch at Maple Ave this past Sunday and I was blown away! We were able to reserve pretty much the entire restaurant for 3 hours all to ourselves. We brought in our own decor, floral arrangements and favors. The delicious food was the cherry on top. Many of our guests ordered the Truffle scrambled eggs which is perfectly seasoned with a side of crispy house fries and a salad. We all shared sides of the mouthwatering ricotta pancakes for dessert. Everything was perfect. Thank you Maple Ave! Special thanks to Chef Juste for your hospitality and amazing staff! See you soon :) read more

A perfect date night! My bf and I finally decided on going to Maple Ave and were able to snag reservations for dinner. With that being said, make reservations on Resy or call, the restaurant itself is small and usually packed. MapleAve had a bunch of lunch specials, three course dinner options, and happy hour deals. They had a great Mother's day deal, 3 courses each and a bottle of wine for $55 per person, but since we dont drink wine we passed, but a great deal nonetheless. The food is SPECTACULAR. For the appetizer we got the octopus with pork belly, green beans and fingerling potatoes, and it was to die for. The octopus wax extremely tender, and the the pork was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. For the entrees I got the braised beef cheek with beets and carrots. The beef was like eating the most luscious beef roast of your life. It honestly couldnt have gotten better. Except for the demi glace sauce, which was also outrageous. My bf got the pork steak confit with a sweet potato purree. The sweet potato was the best sweet potatoes we've ever had and we're still talking about it. The pork was tender and flavorful. The dessert we got the chocolate bread pudding and the fried apple pie. Both exactly how they sound, and both delicious! I just wish they put a little more icecream on both the desserts. All in all, an outstanding meal. The service was great! The restaurant is small so it can get extremely loud at times, and as for waiting space, it's easier to wait outside. I dont recommend sitting on the bench outside because some of the wood is a little loose. Asfor parking, CARPOOL IF YOU CAN. There's about 10spaces, and limited room to just turn in and out. read more

I have to give it up for the brunch!! I've been to brunch 2 times recently and I have to say I lovedddddddddddd it. The first brunch experience, I did the 6 course tasting menu for 2 for $38 dollars: wild mushroom soup warm house bread, shiitake crisp, crème fraiche truffled egg scramble with applewood smoked bacon beef empanadas with salsa creolla meat and cheese board with accoutrements, crostinis hash polyface pork belly, scallions, pimento fried apple pie warm dulce de leche, lavender honey, vanilla bean ice cream Everything was bomb but especially the truffled egg scramble, I need to re-create this at home. The truffle oil brought this fluffy scramble to the next level! This tasting menu is a brunch must, if you're hungry and ready for a feast, go for this option. The second brunch experience, I ordered a la carte: THE crunchy broccoli (jeez if this was a health food, I would eat this for breakfast, lunch, and dinner unti I turned green) I love fried anything, and the green sauce and the pickled raisins elevated this dish to the next level. Like the fool I am, we ordered the persimmon salad not knowing it was the side salad that came with both our main courses...what can I say except it's a salad with nice shavings of Parmesan cheese, but the persimmon was dry (it's not persimmon season though). THE vanilla ricotta pancakes- MAMMA JAMMA, can someone make me these pancakes every morning, these had the perfect crunchy edges, and were so lightly sweet that my only complaint is that they were too small. THE truffled eggs- these eggs were egg-y perfection. I loved these. No dessert this time because I was busting at the seams, but definitely brunch here, and do it often. read more

Prix fix lunch menu for two on the weekend was such a great deal ($38). The food was surprisingly delicious and every meal came out and surprised us. We enjoyed the eggs and truffle and bacon, empanadas and pork belly hash the best! Fancy food in a down to earth restaurant. Kids got prank chicken tenders which came with the crispiest fries ever. Going back next time we're in Vienna! read more

Wild and wonderful! ‍We snuck in at 2:30 on a Thursday when we found our usual place could not get an afternoon cook and closes at 1:45 as a result. Now I really regret not coming here for a while. Wonderful selection of dishes and now lunch special pricing too good to pass up. At this time quietly sitting in the sun watching traffic crawl by sipping wine with my field greens salad with incredible vingarette and crispy artic char. The wife even loves her lamb dish and is so picky. Oops should have taken pictures but I put my face into the sights and smells in front of me! Then the tastes blew me away! Ha! So much fun to beat the usual full small place. Happy hours sound super and now an intimate locale to enjoy with my wife on her days off during the week. Now something great to look forward to! read more

One of my favorite hidden gems in NOVA. This restaurant made me like pork loin, because they cook it in such an interesting way with a delicious sweet potato purée. read more

Came to this restaurant in Vienna for the first time today. Cozy restaurant with not that many dining tables. The service was one of the best I have ever experienced. The sever was extremely personable and it almost felt like you were being served in a relatives home. Ordered the panco chicken sandwich, omelette, pancake, and French press coffee. The food was very high quality. Everything we ordered tasted incredible. Easily 5 stars and one of the best overall dining experiences in the Vienna area. Highly recommended! read more

I went here for restaurant week brunch and had an exceptional time! $22 for a 6 course meal that fills you to the brim is unheard of. I enjoyed the technique and the care they took to serve the food, and the freshly sourced ingredients. Their coffee also comes from another Vienna favorite - cafe AMouri. Funny thing is that I really enjoyed their meats and cheese board with their house pickled raisins! The place only has very 10 small tables and very limited parking so come early! read more

It's a blink and you missed it kind of spot but it's so worth the effort. My friend and I had dined there before and been really impressed so we ventures back, dreaming of having this chicken liver paté the was so dreamy. Of course, it wasn't on the menu but we asked about it and the waiter asked the chef who not only prepared the paté but a whole tasting plate of deliciousness that they typically only serve at dinner. It's a great spot for a date or an intimate meal and always impeccable service. read more
