    Victoria's Filet Mignon*
    Tammy J.C. D.

    Good value. Victoria filet won't blow your mind, but for the price it's a great option for a night out for steak that won't completely break the bank. The seasoning on the sear really is good, and cut was tender. My son gambled and went for the sirloin and realized he really is a filet man through and through. Our server Nick was super friendly and attentive. Place wasn't too busy, dimly lit with lots of seating. It took me way too long to find the "koala in the walla" - but it was great entertainment for the whole fam.

    After a long day, I stopped by Outback Steakhouse for their Happy Hour -- and it did not disappoint! The specials are very reasonably priced, especially for this area. Today, I tried the Boomarita -- a fun and flavorful flight of four margaritas: classic house, blackberry, mango, and watermelon. Each one had a unique twist, and it was the perfect way to wind down. The bar area was busy and full of energy, but the service remained attentive and friendly. A great spot to grab a drink, relax, and enjoy a casual evening. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a solid happy hour without breaking the bank! Cheers!!!

    Victoria's Filet Mignon with Roasted Butter Garlic Topping and Seasoned Rice

    I have been to this location a few times and always had a great experience. Our favorite waiter is Chase, he is so friendly and welcoming. We usually start off our order with the new Fried Mozzarella Boomerang. They are so delicious! The seasoning on the coating is so good. They fry it perfectly where the coating is crispy and the cheese is perfectly melty on the inside. Got the Filet Topped with Garlic Butter and it it also delicious. Ordered the steak medium well and it came out as requested. The steak was tender and the garlic butter topping is flavorful and makes the steak so tasty. For my sides I usually order the seasoned rice and a caesar salad. No complaints with the salad. It is tossed well and comes with a generous amount of parmesan cheese which I appreciate. Seasoned rice is good as well, they are generous with their serving amount and I was unable to finish it all. We love coming here for dinner!

    12 ounce prime rib... big enough to share

    Typical outback dinner.... Nice waitstaff... dinner as expected! Did the seasoned and seared prime rib and overall tasty... would have liked a little darker sear. Sides we just did fries and sautéed onions.

    I've only tried outback one other time and this time wasn't much different than the last, i was craving steak so we hit up outback after a long day, we were seated right away.I decided to get a Gingerbread Fizz, it was not good personally i think a Regular Coke would have been better. The Aussie fries were very salty but i did appreciate how the server brought us lots of Ranch! The steak was good, The Burger was not-it was also very salty. Although the Mac n Cheese made up for it. Overall, i don't think i will come back anytime soon but the server was great and they did bring the food out quick!

    Service was awesome. Also had a couple of the Aussie fruit punch's.-yummy! Stepped outside my comfort zone had the AHI TUNA with wasabi and peanut sauce and a side of asparagus. Everything was great. The ambiance was typical outback but the new decor of the skyline was beautiful and did spark conversation of our family vacation to Sydney Australia.

    We enjoy Outback Steakhouse! Our sweet friends gifted us a gift card and so here we are. We are very grateful! Decided to order takeout and placing an order online was simple and straightforward. Everything was ready in a timely manner and neatly wrapped to go. Employees are friendly and helpful. It is clean and organized inside. We enjoyed each dish, it was all seasoned well and the portions are generous. Overall, we are fans!

    3/15/2025 Aussie 3 course-see $14.99 selections.

    3/15/2025 We went to enjoy the $14.99 Aussie 3 course meal. It was delicious. Sam and other staff were on point with the timing of their service. The restaurant was still empty because it was early so the atmosphere was very relaxing. I have attached pictures of the food, very beautifully presented except hubby's food. I LOVE their potato soup it was so warming on this chilly day(I forgot to take picture of this masterpiece). Shrimp was delicious with right amount of spices. The dipping sauce was a little too spicy for me. The meal was reasonably priced and we asked if we could use our AARP discount and they allowed it. Yay. After a previous experience at another Outback we had vowed not to eat at Outback again but this has renewed my trust at Outback. We are only visiting here but what a way to welcome tired travelers.

    We visited Outback on Friday evening. Great service from Chase our waiter. Hadn't been inside of an Outback in over 10+ years...I wouldn't have expected this from a family restaurant!! The manager actually stopped by each table more than once to check on us and to see how we were doing! Great steak and other delights! We surely will be back!!

    Cheese burger

    The new Outback in a new building across from the old one is nice and airy. Great decor and very welcoming. Outback is a hit and miss place. Usually food is mediocre at best but here it is good. Service is great and they don't bother you. I sat with my friends yesterday for 3 hours catching up and never had a problem. Ok it wast busy but Nick our server was great. The blooming onion is great but quite expensive for a breaded onion. Loaded baked potato was really good with real bacon and not just freeze dried bacon bits. Very tasty. I go there with my friend almost every Saturday and the food and service is consistent and reliable.

    Aside from the steak (and everything else) being almost inedible because of seasoning, the service here is terrible. No reason to dine here.

This was number one on the list when I searched best restaurants in Reston and it did not disappoint! Heirloom is tucked away in the distillery and has a cozy speakeasy feel with green velvet booths and an eclectic seafood forward menu. Cocktails : Manhattan - top notch My sweet side piece - fun presentation with table side bubbles! Feels a bit like a fall drink. Warm spice. Very tasty and too easy to drink fast lol Apps: We got the baked shrimp and the beef carpaccio. Both outstanding and so flavorful. Just needed some bread to soak up the sauce in the baked shrimp. The lemon rind in the shrimp was a perfect compliment to the sauce and the carpaccio was perfectly seasoned and the thinnest slices I have ever had which made it delicate and delicious. Entrees: We got the sea bass and the short rib bolognese. Blown away by how good both of these were and so very different. The short rib bolognese had a rich but not heavy flavor with fresh pasta and a delightful velvety spiciness - not heat though. The sea bass was crispy on the outside and perfectly cooked with a carrot ginger puree that was sublime with the spinach and fish. We loved both of these entrees. Really wanted dessert but sadly not more room which was better for our stomachs and our wallets. It's not a cheap endeavor here but worth the cost for a fabulous meal out and a very cool vibe.

This was a business dinner and when we first entered I was amazed at how big and beautiful it was inside. The bar area was large, oval, and really upscale and nice! They also offer valet here, which is helpful given the area, it's tough to find parking! Our server was great! She offered many good options, offered up very helpful insight, and did a great job keeping an eye on our table. Their wine list is large, with so much to choose from, whether Italian or New World - They have a nice selection of bottles! They even have their own label (not sure who makes it) which I tried and it was decent, but we opted for something else. It was tough to select a salad, an appetizer, and an entrée, as we wanted to be able to eat everything and there was so much to choose from which looked so very appealing on the menu. I started with their arugula salad and it was excellent! Such a simplistic salad like this has to be made with fresh greens and this definitely met that mark! I did ask for a side of balsamic to drizzle a tiny bit in - but it really didn't need it. Dinner consisted of their braised short rib - AMAZING! So very tender and flavorful... YUMMM!!!! A nice balance of flavors, sweet and savory in this dish. Their pasta menu looked so very nice that I wanted a pasta too, so prior to the mains, I split their smoked chicken pasta with a colleague and that dish was crazy - so smokey and flavorful! The pasta was spot-on al dente too! Definitely a rich dish, creamy, flavorful, and very powerful - but tasty! We were all too full for dessert, so a couple of us just chose some Sambuca to sip as we ended the dinner and that was great, served perfectly chilled with the coffee beans. Highly recommend giving them a try, I'll most definitely return!

However, we were disappointed by the strict policy regarding outside wine. We were prepared to pay a corkage fee so we could enjoy a bottle we had brought for the occasion, but the manager explained that it was a firm policy set by the owner and could not be overridden. While we understand the need for policies, a bit more flexibility for special occasions would have gone a long way. Overall, the experience and food were very good, but policies like this can impact repeat business. Parking nearby is somewhat of a walk. Alternatively, valet parking is available at the nearby JW Marriott, which may be more convenient. I think the restaurant may have its own valet parking although I did not see it being offered the day we came.

    Recently, Eater DC published a list of what they considered the best steakhouses in the DMV…read more Randy's made the list. We were looking for a place to have our anniversary dinner. After seeing the list, we chose Randy's. Randy's is a Great American Restaurant, and I must say it's so good to go to a GAR with a menu different from the others. In the past, I've written about how one can go to Coastal Flats and get pretty much the same menu as, for example, Jackson's. We made a reservation for 5 p.m. on a Saturday. We arrived about a half hour early, so we asked if they could seat us right then and there. The people at the host stand said "yes". We were seated at a 4-top booth. Thus, there was plenty of room. The booths, which have mohair seat coverings, were a shade of green and quite attractive. The environment clearly says "upscale steakhouse." Our server was prompt in getting to us and asked if we wanted some water. We chose tap water. He gave us time to look over the menu. We decided to not have any appetizers as we didn't want to get too full. To drink, my husband got a glass of Catena Malbec while I got an Espresso Martini. Our server asked if we wanted some bread. We said "yes". The bread basket had 2 flaky, buttery croissants, plus a slice of white bread and a slice with raisins. For our main course, we both got the 7 oz. filet mignon cooked medium rare. We chose to try two sides. One side was "roasted asparagus" which consists of: "poached egg, parmesan (we asked for no cheese and our request was honored), truffled Bernaise aioli". The second side was "Honey roasted organic rainbow carrots," which were "dusted with candied walnuts". As for the food --- We both thought our steaks were properly cooked, However, my husband said his was on the dry side while mine was just right. We both really enjoyed the side dishes. The asparagus was unconventional, to be sure. Never did I have a poached egg with asparagus. I ate the egg, and it was properly cooked. Looking back, I should have thought to put some salt on it as there was none. The truffled sauce was creamy and added nice flavor. The carrots, to me anyway, were a pleasant surprise. The honey added a nice flavor along with the candied walnuts. They, too, were cooked perfectly. As for being "rainbow" carrots, most were orange, with some white and yellow ones. We had some room for dessert, so we decided to share "Tressa's crispy meringue filled with lemon curd and finished with passionfruit coulis". Since it was our anniversary dinner, a dollop of whipped cream was added to the plate. In that dollop was a lit candle, which was a nice touch. I found the coulis to be on the tart side. The lemon curd was mildly flavored. Service was excellent, though dessert took a while ,to arrive. All in all, a nice splurge and we're glad we came here. (Well...we didn't care for the traffic on Leesburg Pike, but the dinner made it worth the trip).

On this occasion, we returned specifically for the calamari--which is truly outstanding--and decided to explore a few additional menu items. We ordered the California rolls, goat cheese salad, and crab and corn chowder, and each dish was phenomenal. The quality, flavor, and presentation across the board were impressive. Despite being a popular and often busy restaurant, the service remains efficient and welcoming. The staff is consistently courteous and accommodating, and we were seated promptly without issue. Their ability to maintain a high level of hospitality, even during peak times, speaks well to their overall operation. The atmosphere strikes a nice balance. There is a comfortable, family-friendly environment inside, complete with menu options for children, while the outdoor seating area offers a more vibrant, metropolitan feel--ideal for small groups or those looking to enjoy a lively setting. From a value standpoint, the pricing is reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food and the overall experience. Additionally, the location adds to its appeal, offering a pleasant setting that is perfect for an after-dinner walk with family or friends.

    It's a beautifully done restaurant - lots of dining space. Our favorite is the bar area. The…read morebanquette allows us to see all the sports on the tv screens, and it's a great place for people watching. The service was great & the food was delicious. 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. It had somehow fallen off our dining radar. We'll be back more often after our recent terrific dinner.

I meet some old friends at this restaurant fairly often and we are always well taken care of. We often have Caesar as our waiter and he has been there a long time, and always does a great job. He is polite, friendly, professional and attentive. The food is good. I don't know if I would say there is anything fantastic about it, but I have never had a bad meal there. I've had the chicken parm, the Cuban sandwich, burgers, and salads and everything had been tasty and freshly prepared. I love a good Cuban sandwich and NYAJ's is a good one, and they are one of the few restaurants with a Waldorf salad on the menu, so I have ordered that several times. My only critique of that would be, I wish it had the candied pecans that are listed as an ingredient on the menu, but the last 3 times I have had that salad, they have been missing. I also love the French onion soup there, as well as many of the appetizers. You really do not have to worry about getting a bad meal at Not Your Average Joe's, it's very reliable.

    Brazza on Steaks is such a solid place for good Latin American cuisine. The owner seems to be very…read moredevoted to the quality of the food and the steaks really could not be any tastier. I do think that a mix of the steak and other dishes is a good balance but it would've been great to have more greens as an option. But then again, this isn't something that is unique to this restaurant alone or the type of cuisine. I would love to watch a great soccer game or other sports event here to root on a local team. It is the perfect combination of solid food, genuine vibes, and great service.

    I first heard of this place when Yelp sent an email with suggestions on where to eat in the area…read more Having never had Venezuelan food, I was curious about it. I looked at their menu, then set out to learn about their various entrees. My husband agreed to give it a try. Before going, we settled on trying "Pabellon Criollo" which is considered the Venezuelan national dish. We were here on a Saturday around 5 p.m. and were surprised to see a few large parties dining in. Also, people came in to get their takeout orders. Not sure as to how the ordering worked when dining in, we made our way to their counter. The owner, Carlos, spotted us and got 2 menus. We confirmed that we wanted to dine in. Carlos is very friendly and welcomes customers with a smile. He also was our server. To drink, I had a lemonade while my husband had a can of Coke. We let Carlos know that we were both having the Pabellon Criollo. This dish consists of black beans with a bit of shredded cheese on top, white rice, carne mechado (which was shredded), 2 arepitas (small arepas) and some platanos maduros. When the food came, it was obvious that the platanos were freshly made. Carlos also brought a bottle of brazza sauce (also called "salsa de amor). He told us we could put it on any item we wanted. It's a mild sauce which is mayonnaise based with cilantro. We enjoyed this dish. Everything was mildly seasoned yet still well flavored. Nothing went to waste! When it was time to pay the check, Carlos rang us up. We both say we would like to return and try their steaks. From start to finish, we had a great experience.
