    Caesar salad with grilled chicken

    Excellent food with live bands on certain nights. Friendly staff. Hidden gem in Springfield. Older crowd that like to dance. Bo the bartender is super cool and makes everyone feel welcomed. I went there 2 nights in a row. Lots of different bands to enjoy.

    Definite gotta go to place. The outside doesn't properly reflect the beautiful inside which is fresh, clean and upbeat. We went on a Friday night, and we're pleasantly surprised with great rock music, perfect acoustics in the place allowing for conversation with room to dance! Great beer selection, wine and full bar. Service was excellent. Three of us had salmon which was cooked perfectly no kidding! Husband had a steak sandwich with fries, all fresh ingredients - he gave a thumbs up and will be back. Full bar, great food, excellent service and live music - what's not to like?

Everything came out in big portions, so you can definitely share everything at the table. The nachos were really good. Huge portion and perfect for sharing. I would suggest that you ask for extra sour cream. The buffalo boneless wings were good and I loved that they came with a skewer so you don't get messy. Very date friendly appetizer. The tenders were cool, just nothing special. Fries were good but the honey mustard was watery. The burgers were mid. Just a regular burger with no seasoning. The spinach dip was edible but not seasoned. I've had better spinach dip from the grocery store. The ambiance is the same as your typical bar, loud, fast paced, with many tvs. Overall I regret ordering the burgers and spinach dip but I loved everything else and I'll definitely be back! 8 appetizers and 2 drinks only came up to $80!

The atmosphere: The restaurant is spacious, and I like it when the outdoor area is open since it has a shaded setup and a fire pit. Otherwise, there's still plenty of indoor seating. The food: We started with the Korean Fried Chicken in the soy garlic flavor, which was probably my favorite part of the meal. It came out hot and crispy. We also ordered two rolls, the Double Toro Roll and the Double Salmon Roll. Both were drenched in a Japanese dressing or soy-based sauce, which caused them to fall apart almost immediately after picking them up. The flavor was overly sour and salty, making it hard to taste the freshness of the fish. Overall, the balance of flavors felt completely off. We also tried the Spicy Crunchy Tuna Bites, and to our surprise, the only crunchy element was a small part of the outer rice shell. Everything else was chewy and overloaded with mayo, so it wasn't a favorite for us. The service: The service was a bit touch-and-go throughout the meal.

It was easy to purchase the reloadable card at the self service kiosk upon entry. Unfortunately, a lot of the games were not well maintained. For example, many of the basketballs were removed from the basketball shooting game, so we didn't have as many balls to throw. I saw a few kids playing with them around the room. When playing the Flappy Bird game, the machine completely shut down and I didn't get tickets for what I had completed and I didn't get point reimbursement. When playing Mario Kart, one of the wheels was loose. When playing Skee-Ball, half of the balls were missing. Basically, you can tell that the machines are not monitored or maintained on a regular basis. Overall, I had a 7/10 experience. You definitely can have fun, but don't expect the quality of the machines to be great.

I accompanied my friends with their teenage nephew and niece and we decided to make this experience into a whole evening with dinner and [weak] drinks and games. The service at the bar was slow despite it not being too particularly crowded. The slow service actually created the crowd so that was annoying. The bartenders and servers and possibly a manager seemed to be having several heated arguments amongst themselves. The food was not very good. The fries were even more particularly disappointing. Yeah, don't go here.

These venues include church halls, basements of people's homes, lobbies of Arlington condos, a Falls Church bike store, and other community recreational space. Audiences are offered an unmatched experience of getting up close with top talent artists drawn from the nation's premier musical centers (Nashville, New York City, Austin, Athens, etc.). Artists perform acoustic style sets (bigger sets with multiple band players are also offered) to audiences who seek genuine music beyond the teflon machine-generated radio pop, and love to support independent musicians. These artists are tall on talent yet short on big name music industry commercial fame. Offering exquisite, heart-felt music and passion, their performances make for stirring musical soirees. Many of the acts are from the folk/bluegrass field, who have jazz and pop influences, extending sometimes to motown and gospel. Audiences can buy tickets online, via the Web site (stoneroomconcerts.com) but can also walk in to the venue on the performance night and are encouraged to donate to the artist. The host of the venue typically provides snacks and drinks for attendees. This non-profit is run with a lot of heart by David H. who does an impeccable job curating the numerous acts he brings to northern Virginia throughout the year. I highly encourage all music afficionados to attend one of these "house concerts" for the true feeling of shared musical spirit just as it has always been in history, through pure voice and unfiltered performance in a small gathering.

As of July 31, 2014, Stone Room Concerts was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Virginia, and has received 501(c)3 nonprofit status with the IRS, also effective as of that date. Additionally, Stone Room Concerts includes as part of its mission support for charitable causes, including acting as a fiscal sponsor for the Niñas Arriba! college scholarship fund for young women in El Salvador.
