    Pork tacos & instead of the corn - subbed a side of duck fries
    Kalina T.

    I absolutely love this place. The food is phenomenal. I haven't ordered a single meal that wasn't delicious !! Great prices as well. Their outdoor seating area is beautiful when the weather cooperates. The inside seating is just as lovely though. They have a rose sangria and it is to die for!! The service has also been fantastic the last few times I've been.

    Pear and prosciutto flatbread and peach rose sangria

    Fantastic place and service, food is delicious and a variety of options are impressive. The prices are very nice for the quality and quantity of food - we'll definitely be coming back to try everything on the menu.

    This is such a great spot for a casual get together, happy hour, or a date night. I believe they have two different entrances, once for where the whiskey tasting/room is and other for wine/dining (I could be wrong...). Vikki was our server, she was super attentive and kept coming by to see if we were ready to order or needed anything else. We ordered a couple drinks and some food to share. They were reasonably priced and tasted great. We asked for burger to be cut in half, and they did...even split the fries, which was perfect! When ordering the wine, I asked Vikki for a recommendation based on my favorite reds and she brought me a sample. Once I finally looked at the wine list, I asked for a sample of the Cigar wine and she brought that as well. Drinks ordered: -Avia Pinot Grigio ($6) -Cigar Bourbon Barrel Cabernet ($10) -Dealer's choice mocktail drink ($8). Food ordered: -Double Parallel Smash Burger (no bacon jam, w/duck fat fries) ($18) -Burrata Bruschetta & Red Pepper Hummus ($14) I would definitely return and want to try the other side. I do think this place is worthy of 5 stars, but knocked off one because the live music was just too loud for such a small space. Also, while the minimal lighting set the mood, it was a bit too dark.

    Bacon lollipops and deviled egg's

    If you are in the area and don't stop here you're REALLY missing out. Thick cut bacon, wagyu sliders, and the banh mi is INSANE. So good that I had to order the butter chicken to go because I KNOW it's gonna slap. Seriously. Not kidding. This place is incredible. I don't want to leave but I have a flight to catch. And that thought brings me to tears. By the way, all I got was a picture of the bacon and deviled eggs because that's before I knew my taste buds would be blown to smithereens.

    Came here for a private party. Got to sample a lot of their food, which overall I thought was excellent. Sliders, deviled eggs, flatbread. Chicks and waffles, charcuterie, and a wonderful slab of fried pork. Beverages were also quite good nice draft beer. And a white sangria that was tasty.

    Located at corner-unit within a typical shopping plaza; parking is ample and the ambiance is upbeat. Outdoor seating / music is great here in the warmer seasons. We ordered the Stuffed Portabella Mushroom Cap, Allen Brothers Farm NY Strip Steak*, mushroom flatbread and the spicy chicken burger. Going to be completely honest here - all the menu items had an average taste. While the flatbread merited itself a 7/10, everything else a solid 4.5 - 5/10. Not necessarily grotesque or inedible, yet not quite tasty enough for you to associate great taste with this spot. Service is very friendly though, and proactive. If looking for a fun spot to reserve for an event, or to just socialize and grab a few drinks, this place is a 5/5. If you're a foodie like me, and want some good found, it's a 3/5.

    First time at Parallel and we entered on one side, but they seated us in the other building across the walk way which seemed to be quieter. Maybe it was because we had a bigger party. The drinks and food were outstanding. We ordered a bunch of things to try and share and everything was tasty. The steaks were cooked exactly the way we wanted. All of the dishes were great to accompany wine or a drink. We definitely want to come back and check out the brunch menu.

    This is one of my favorite happy hour spots in Ashburn. There is a crazy happy hour from 3-4 PM and then a regular happy hour from 4-6 PM. The food is incredible and so is the service. All of the staff I have encountered are courteous from the moment you enter. In nicer weather the patio is open for customers and it's the perfect way to a Friday afternoon. I've gone to work from there for a few hours and enjoy some food. I've had a handful of their main entrees and again, everything I've had is very well done.

    Bacon lollipops are incredible!!

    We had my dad's 80th surprise birthday here on one of their busiest weekends in September and it was fantastic. The owner even customized our main menu for us!! I wish I had photos of the beef Wellington main course!! It was absolutely perfectly cooked and delicious. But these are just a few of the apps.

    Chicken and waffles
    Tony S.

    Today's brunch was amazing. We had the corn beef hash, the steak and eggs and the chicken special. Each plate was amazing and we shared among each other. The deviled eggs and the maple bacon treats were also a great appetizer. The bake server was just ok and not very attentive. He was more interested in the all girl parties in the restaurant. Also I think the restaurant needs some lite music playing like jazz to cut down the room chatter. Food was 5 stars, service was 3 stars and atmosphere was 4 stars

    Food is always a hit. Service can be slow at times. You can never go wrong with the bourbon mimosas flights

    A cute wine and whiskey bar that will damper your pallet. And they have good food. We had shareables then we ordered entrees followed by desserts. Danny our waiter was awesome. The bar is very cute and quaint. What a perfect way to celebrate my birthday.

    Finally crossed off my bucket list after a year of waiting--and it absolutely lived up to the…read morehype. We had a 3:45 dinner reservation and arrived a few minutes early. After checking in, we were quickly guided upstairs to a cozy, rounded booth--an intimate and perfect spot for two. Our server, Katie, was fantastic--attentive, knowledgeable, and refreshingly honest when helping us choose between dishes. We started with the deviled eggs and fried green tomatoes, paired with the Black Sheep Mule and a watermelon cocktail (wish I remembered the name!). For our mains, we ordered the short rib rigatoni and the steak bulgogi bowl. To finish, we shared the weekly dessert special: an Earl Grey tres leches. Everything was exactly what I hoped for and more. The starters were standout, the entrees were packed with flavor, and the overall aesthetic of the space was just beautiful. We'll definitely be back--next time for brunch!

It was also my first time at The Black Sheep but I had always heard wonderful things - all of which turned out to be true. The loft area is beautiful and overlooks the entire restaurant. Also when you reserve the loft, which holds up to 16 people, you order off the regular menu. I loved this as other places I checked into were much more restrictive with a higher minimum spend and fixed menus for groups larger than 8. We had 12 in our group. We started with a bunch of appetizers for the table and cocktails. Appetizers included the bacon tower, fried green tomatoes, hushpuppies, crispy chicken wings, and Mediterranean garlic shrimp. Dinner entreés were jambalaya pasta, the American wagyu burger, pulled short rib rigatoni and branzino almondine. There were zero complaints. We enjoyed EVERYTHING!! The bourbon butter cake with vanilla ice cream for dessert literally took me over the top. My belly was ready to burst :) Our waiter was attentive throughout the entire time and everything we ordered came out perfect. I must go back soon. It is a distance from where I live but there's so many things on the fabulous menu I want to try.

My…read moreboyfriend brought me here for an early Mother's Day dinner on a Saturday night, and we really enjoyed ourselves. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing. The lights were dimmed, which gave the restaurant a cozy vibe I almost fell asleep lol. Since the restaurant is still fairly new, it wasn't too crowded, which made the experience even better. One thing I really liked was that the menu is chef-curated, so the dishes are served as-is and thoughtfully put together. You can really tell there's intention behind the flavors and presentation. For drinks, we ordered a smoked Old Fashioned and a chocolate martini for me, which was absolutely delicious. For appetizers, we tried the Wagyu sliders, and they were juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. For our entrées, my boyfriend ordered the lamb shank over mashed potatoes. The meat literally fell off the bone, and the mashed potatoes soaked up all the lamb juices, giving them so much flavor. I ordered the salmon with broccolini and added chimichurri and garlic butter sauce on top. I loved that they asked how I wanted my salmon cooked. I ordered mine medium well, and it came out perfect. The skin was crispy, theand the broccolini was soft and cooked just right. Our waiter was fun, attentive, and really helpful when it came to choosing drinks and entrées. Overall, we had a good experience.

Server was great but have bugs to work out, as it was a soft opening. Ordered toast and the server came to tell us that they don't have rye. I also thought he would have offered the liquor menu, as I had to ask for it. Was brought our food but was missing our hash browns. A few minutes after apologies, received our hash browns. Steak and the eggs were perfect. The place is absolutely gorgeous. Really like the atmosphere. Maybe a while to return as I live in CA, but I definitely will be back with hopes to upgrade to 5 stars.

So is the Vegetarian platter and tasting menu, aushak, quroti, and turnovers. You cant go wrong with saffron rice or the rice with carrots and raisins. Enough reviews already mention the four dips and soft bread, a cross between middle eastern bread and focaccia. Non alcoholic drinks are not an after thought, the sour cherry rose lemonade is liked by kids, adults, and seniors. Service is warm and welcoming, the Rumi quotes on the walls and turkish lamps add to the ambience, parking is easy and aplenty. A few tips: 1. Go for the lunch menu if you are feeding a large group. It is cheaper. Or consider making the trek to where it all started, Afghan Bistro in Springfield. 2. Ask for the daily selection of cakes. The pistachio and cardamom are the best, not too sweet, light, moist, and fragrant. Of course we devoured the food before taking pictures but a couple attached.

The pumpkin dumplings and pan fried veggie filled dumplings were great as well. I thought my salmon wrap and the chickpea side was ok. Interesting flavors for sure. As for the service, there was always someone filling up our waters and our waiter was very nice checking in every now and then. The only downside of the experience is at the end when the waiter was boxing up all the food for us. Very sweet that they do this but when boxing up my partners food, they only boxed up the rice and they got rid of the lamb that he was looking forward to eating more of later. So that was kind of a disappointment for us. I think if we go again, we would request to box our food ourselves since I'm not sure why they decided to get rid of all of his lamb.
