My wife ate their on Saturday, March 28th. We started with Mac and Cheese bites and the Brussel sprouts. The Mac and Cheese bites were delicious. Crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. There was a tomato dipping sauce on the plate which was very tasty. My only criticism is that the Mac and Cheese needed some salt. The Brussel sprouts were cooked in balsamic vinegar. They were cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious. The onions were a nice addition to the plate. We both had smash burgers. Mine had the fried egg on it and my wife's had BBQ sauce. The burgers were wonderful. Very tasty. Possibly the best smash burgers in Loudoun County. My only critique is that the meat itself needs more seasoning. My tater tots were nice and crispy, although they weren't hot, only warm when our plates came out. Our server was wonderful. She came by our table often to check on us. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. I highly recommend the Smash burgers. read more

This is one of my favorite pizza spots in NOVA! I highly recommend the saucy sausage - it's amazing! The crust is perfectly chewy. Their happy hour menu is great - good price on drinks and food. I also recommend the smash burger, it's so cheesy and good!! There's ample outdoor seating and frequent live music. The patio is very dog friendly and even had pools for the dogs. Cute little cabanas with TV's are available adding to the cute outdoor vibe. Service has always been good, quick and attentive. read more

I was excited to try this place after seeing it was close to our hotel. When we arrived there was a band playing and we sat at the bar. I got a dozen wings and my wife got steak frites. Her fries were cold. We asked for new ones and they came back only slightly warmer. My wings were ok. Not as flavorful as I would've liked. Service was ok. I don't think I would go back if I was in the area, which is too bad. read more

Food just wasn't good. I really think what they are going for is a bar first and foremost and then a place for social events. Other than that the food is an after thought. Chips tasted stale, sauce for Mac and cheese bites was horrible, and the cheesesteak egg rolls felt more like the filling of the other offered egg roll. Just unimpressed but the trivia was nice. read more

My sister, niece, and nephew took us here for a late night outing on our last night of our last visit back in VA. It was fun spot to hang out for a late night. We sat outside and enjoyed the less busy ambiance. It was a little busier inside. I just had dessert, which was yummy. read more

Food: Decent bar food. I had the trash nachos which was HUGE!! Service: It was very busy the night I came because of a show but once everyone sat down, the servers were very good about checking to see we got what we needed. Ambience: It's a bar. There's a stage for entertainment. I think they have karaoke. I was there for Magic Hunk. They also old school archaeology games. read more

Came here after a ride around for a bit of an escape from the cold! We got a meat pizza which was nice to share! The service was very nice and I had loved the atmosphere!

Rai's Rendezvous Kitchen + Bar - Double Smash-Burger Shrimp - Sports Bars Near Me - Ashburn, Virginia

We came for happy hour (goes 'til 7!). Neely was our waitress and she was terrific - attentive without being overbearing. Jerry (one of the owners) sat and talked with us a while. Despite the music and decent crowd, it was easy to converse with my friend. My friend had the Pretty Little Liar and I had sangria (yummy). We ate: heirloom carrots - good but not as memorable as the other dishes Fried halloumi- absolute perfection Short rib-zaa - really, really tasty combo of flavors on delicate buttery crust Lobster deviled eggs - I enjoyed the tempura lobster and my friend loved the deviled eggs. This dish was on the house (thanks!!). They had lots of other dishes that sounded delicious and we will definitely be back! read more

Went with the wife in october 2024. Place is definitely more of a sports bar vibe than restaurant. Thave have outside seating and large TVs all around as well as comfy looking sofas. Inside is dark and the first time I went there was line dancing going on, which can be fun to watch. This time I had an OK smash burger, but my wife ordered the blackened shrimp and it was brought out by a man who was probably the cook. He seemed a bit 'off'. The shrimp looked like it was not fully cooked and when she asked the server, was told that is how it is served. She gingerly ate 1 or 2 before deciding it was a bad idea. Lets just say things went decidedly downhill after this and we had to make a hasty ride home as the shrimp were definitely not properly cooked and probably not fresh, resulting in some stomach issues. If she had eaten the entire dish she probably would have had to to to ER. Not cool. Prices are somewhat high, but the focus seems to be more on the booze than the food. Their beer selection is good, but I can say both of my visits had me regretting the food. read more

This was the only new spot we tried while in town visiting my in laws and it was so good! The lobster pj&j is something I'll be talking about for a while. The short rib pizza was also something special. Glad they had some pinball & virtual golf since they seemed to be short staffed. While the food & drinks came out quickly the wait for the check dragged on a bit. Other than that slight delay, everything was amazing and we'll probably add this to our regular rotation when we're in town. read more

FOOD/DRINK: 4/5 SERVICE: 5/5 EXPERIENCE: 5/5 Well, helloooo to the revamped Bungalow Alehouse! The vibe is totally different from the Alehouse, which is welcomed. It is more hip hop/90s vibe and more high top seating instead of the pool table. There are also pinball machines. The renovations were quick! LoCo definitely needed this - we were starving for a tapas place! Service was great! Our waitress, Emi, offered suggestions on what to get and even made a drink I wanted into a mocktail! They also have a few mocktails under the "sober curious" section of the menu. The owner's wife stopped by at the end to ask how everything was as well (I didn't know until I saw on Facebook when she commented!). I got a butterfly pea flower lemonade (mocktail of "pretty lil liar" drink), while hubby ordered the fallin' off cocktail ($10). We ordered the grilled halloumi cheese ($9), chicken lollipops ($15), blistered shishito peppers ($9), and rounding out with the halva blondie ($16). FOOD/BEV: -butterfly pea flower lemonade / mocktail - very good and refreshing! more lemonade than anything but it was fun. AND they only charged us $3! -fallin' off cocktail - hubby deemed it as "really good" - I had a sip and deemed it as too strong but I rarely drink -grilled halloumi cheese - this is such an unexpected combo but the grilled cheese with the pomegranate seeds was really great. the chef really thought about textures! -chicken lollipops - we didn't particularly care for these. the sauce was too sweet and some of the lollipops were too fatty. a steep $15 price tag deemed it not worth getting again -blistered shishito peppers - wonderful rendition of a classic app - the green goddess dressing and the walnut dust really elevated the dish. dipping them into the dressing was hands-on, too. both of us drew a spicy one this time! -halva blondie - the STAR of the show! we did get it without the whipped cream, as i am lactose intolerant, but it didn't really need it (or rather, it was great without it). the blondie had a peanut buttery taste and the coffee anglaise matched it perfectly. hubby STILL talks about this dessert and it was a week ago. NOTE: they have since changed their menu - the shishito peppers are no longer on it and they have pizza and sammies now! They also have a DJ on Saturdays but it wasn't too loud. Even though the chicken lollipops weren't great, I've bumped up this review to 5 stars due to everything else. We can't wait to come back. read more

Been hearing some things about this new place and today I got my chance to check it out. They are now open for lunch, which worked out great. Very bright "graffiti-like" paintings on the walls, lots of TVs going to catch all the sports action. My far the most unique menu options in Ashburn, blend of Mediterranean, Greek, and more. Items like lobster PB&J to a variety of small plates and handhelds. Andre was our server and was on top of everything, made some great recommendations and answered our questions. My wife had the hummus, that Chef John came out and talked to us about, a long time family recipe from Greek, it was the best hummus I have every had. I had the Arayes Burger, think of sliders in pita, outstanding! The only knock I would give them, and it's small, is the music, too loud Beyonce, Katy Perry, pop junk. I will be back soon for dinner. read more

Delicious and refreshingly different type of place in Ashburn Village where Bungalow Alehouse used to be! The service is phenomenal (they try to locally source their ingredients) and it's a really cool vibe! Let's start with the food...So they have some great small plates to try with a seasonal rotating menu. I was with a couple of people and we tried so many plates (at least 8)! My favorite thing about their food was an overall well-balanced and well-seasoned menu. There's a lot of flavor in most dishes without being too salty or strong. The seafood was all cooked perfectly from the tempura shrimp to lobster. I thoroughly enjoyed the deviled lobster eggs and the yellowfin tacos!! Soooo yummy! We were regulars when it was Bungalow Alehouse and the layout is pretty much the same but even more screens! It's a good place to watch football or other sports. The staff are so friendly and helpful. They go out of their way to make you feel welcome and always on top of refills! Andre is great as is Jerry. The decor is very unique for Ashburn with a casual vibe. Graffiti art everywhere is really cool with old school hip hop playing when I was there. For REALLY good REAL food in a cool atmosphere (not stuffy) with good people you should definitely check it out. The place is big and open, has plenty of seating (pool tables gone), and lots of outdoor seating. I cannot say enough good things and hope people go check out this new place!! read more

Had a very large group for a birthday dinner. I initially did have some trouble getting confirmation making the reservation, but after sending an email, the staff quickly reached out and answered all my questions and got the reservation squared away. It was pretty busy when we came in but got a nice spot tucked away from the outdoor party, so we were able to have a nice dinner without being overwhelmed. Towards the end, the band moved indoors due to the rain so it did get louder but it was at the tail end of dinner. They were sweet enough to do a small birthday bit weaved into their song as they were playing. This place has a very casual vibe but can be a bit loud. Lot of party vibes but chill and welcoming for guests to mill around, have a good time with the music. Some of us went around to browse the selection of games. Service was slow as they seemed to be understaffed since our waiter was manning multiple stations of the restaurant, but they were able to provide everything correctly. Food was a tad pricey but exceptional! We will return again soon! read more

Having been listed as a top five Reuben in the DC Metro area I had to put it to the test. Rai's passed with flying colors! The meat was plentiful but the surprise was the sauce! It really gave it a punch most restaurant Reuben's lack. Now for the kicker...the Rai's happy hour starts at noon and rivals the best deals in the area. Got to glimpse a burger and pizza delivered to another customer and it looked great. Service was fantastic. Sides were plentiful and the offered multiple options. Loved the bar area. read more

Service was fine, beer was cold, trivia was fun, but the food was not good. Fish and chips were a bad rendition of overcooked Mrs. Paul's fish sticks and fries were meh. In addition, the server asked how I wanted my fish sticks done - medium, medium well, or well. That was a new one for me! They seem to be trying a little too hard to be "gourmet" but failing badly. No one at my table was delighted with their food. The food really needs to be more of a focus. read more

Visited for a late dinner on Friday. We decided to have a couple drink and sample some appetizers. Food was bad and small portioned. Beer we ordered was out but on the menu. Expensive and loud to boot. Won't go back. read more

Came in during lunchtime by myself. I hadn't heard it had changed from the last place... kinda quiet, only 1-2 other parties here. The staff was friendly and eager (though they could probably benefit from a "please sit where you would like" sign at the entry as there was no host during the day. Their menu is great! They offer an extensive tapas-style menu as well as sandwiches, pizza, snacks, and deserts. I was also pleased to see they have mocktails as well! I ended up ordering the wedge salad and the braised short rib which came with butternut squash puree. The food was pretty fast. The wedge was very nicely portioned and perfectly executed. Braised rib was fall apart tender (as it should be)... the puree tasted fresh and consistent. Overall I was very pleased with the great service and lovely menu; I'll be returning for sure! Edit to add: they sent out a complimentary blondie from their desert menu and it was AWESOME! Layers of flavor blended together smoothly. Highly recommend! read more

I am extremely disheartened and disappointed by this establishment. I will say the staff was amazing, but the food quality has gone down hill, and the ownership is extremely unappreciative of the people that help support the business. I was at this location with my girlfriend and we ordered drinks and some food at the bar. The staff was amazing and on point. We ordered beverages and placed our food order. The food was below average and very disappointing. The supposed hype and buzz surrounding the food at this place was not close to being met. We had the Hummas, a Pizza with sausage and pepperoni, and the steak frites. All were way below average. The staff noticed our disappointment and tried to help however they could. Interestingly enough the owner was present sitting at the bar with a laptop. He did not notice or seem to care about our lack of satisfaction with the quality of food. Shortly after a group of Indian Americans came into the restaurant and I noticed a sense of "damn, now we have to deal with them" on his face. The owner went on to say to one of the regulars "these brown people come in, they are extremely demanding, and they never tip". The more I heard the most disappointed I got. I had high hopes for my time at this establishment, especially with reviews and what i had heard, but seeing how little they care about the quality of food, or what people are coming into spend money and keep the business open is disappointing. I honestly wish this place the best, but hope that they one improve the how the think of patrons and understand who is spending money to keep this business open. Next I hope that the food gets back to the point where everyone raves about it. read more

Outstanding! Beginning with service -- Andre was exemplary. Provided excellent overview and details of the different plates! The food spectacular. We nearly had the whole place to ourselves for an office going away luncheon. Would I do it all over again--in a New York minute. I'm positing pictures, but of empty plates. Give this place a try--you won't regret it. Oh so good. read more

Kayla was our bartender/server and she was fantastic. She was bubbly, personable and attentive. We plan to go back, mostly because of her!!

I was floored by the quality and complexity of flavors used by the chef. It was something more like what I'd expect at a fine dining spot. Had the small plate asparagus, mushrooms, shrimp scampi, and chicken wings. Asparagus had preserved lemon to amp up the flavor which was complemented perfectly by the sliced almonds. The mushroom were a mix which gave great variety of texture. The scampi was fantastic and the bread served with it brought out amazing flavors. The wings I was septal on because I got old bay with ranch. The ranch had a super high dill flavor which I wasn't into at first, but the more I used on the wing the more addicted I became. Would eat all of it again! read more

The service was friendly and the menu had nice choices. The tapas/small plates were about $20 and under and larger plates more. I ordered the roasted beets with goat cheese and walnuts (asked for no oranges) - delicious; and the Arayes burgers - juicy and full of Mediterranean flavors. The sangria was good as well.

Simply fantastic and unexpectedly delicious. My colleagues and I were visiting the area and found the review's for Rai and assumed they were "cooked" or too good to be true. Nope. Every menu item was fantastically prepared as if coming from a gourmet kitchen all in a very hip bar scene. The drinks were incredible (old fashions) and we reordered many items. Try the pizzas, deviled eggs with lobster and the hummus was the best I'd ever had. Lamb lollipops were incredible and the Brussels sprouts did not disappoint. Not sure when I'll make it back to the area and when I do you can expect an update to the review. read more

We tried Rai's for the first time today for lunch and it was absolutely amazing! The decor is so nice with graffiti stylishly painted on the walls and a very cool vibe in general. The selection of small plates is great and there are so many wonderful options on the menu. Our waiter, Andre G, was excellent and seemed so well versed on the menu that we felt as if he was the cook himself. Besides telling us about the dishes themselves, he went through the inspiration behind the dishes! The other staff were also so welcoming and came to our table to make sure everything tasted great. We were not disappointed with our selections -- they were out of this world. We had the brussels sprouts, hummus, lollipop lamb chops and PB&J lobster (seriously -- how creative!). All of these were incredible and tasted so good. We are so excited to go there again soon and try four or more new dishes because we know everything will be tasty! The music videos playing on the huge screen added to the atmosphere as they were really interesting and went with overall vibe of the restaurant. In Ashburn, we don't really have a place like this and I am so glad they decided to come here. Definitely try it out and you won't be disappointed! read more

I have to be honest- this is a tough review to write because I wanted so badly to like Rai's Rendezvous (RR) for a couple of reasons: 1. The owners seem like great people, and 2. Their other restaurants are very good. However, after trying RR for a second time, I just find myself thinking this version of the restaurant may not make it. I know the owners are trying for something unique, but I just think this concept will not work. The restaurant is confusing, as if it doesn't know what it really wants to be. When you walk in there are tvs everywhere, including a huge one in the main dining area- which is awesome for watching sports. So, you immediately think this is a sports bar, so let me get some wings, a burger or food like that, but that's not this concept. There are small plates (think Tapas) that are frankly, pretty unimpressive. We've tried many of them including: The wedge salad (ok), the chicken lollipops (eh...to dry, not enough chicken), the tempura shrimp (all tempura, no shrimp it seems), the crispy cauliflower (again, eh...kinda boring honestly) and the baby gem salad (yuk). Can you imagine yourselves eating any of that while watching a football game? Me neither. Also, there are so many small plates on the website that were not on the menu at the restaurant. The menu also included a $54 NY strip steak. Seriously? That kind of price in that atmosphere? That is going to raise a lot of eyebrows. I tried the chicken and fawaffles and the chicken was okay, but man, that fawaffle is terrible. C'mon, just make a regular waffle so there is something that is not overthought on the menu. I think the reason there are so many "wings and burgers" types of sports bars is because they work. People know what to expect and a $54 steak and a "fawaffle" are not pleasant surprises. We won't be going back, but we will visit Rai's Pizza and Rai's Pourhouse. By the way, the service was pretty slow and both times we went there were not many other guests, but I know the restaurant is new so I do not hold that against them. It was a little irritating to have our server ask if we were ready for our check and when we said yes, she "Okay, I'll be right back" and then she went and talked with the bartender for 10 minutes. Anyway, I like to end on a positive note and I'll say that I have faith that the owners will figure things out and I hope to be back when they do. read more

If you like food and have an extensive pallet then this is the place for you. Scratch kitchen, nothing frozen and Chef John is one of the best in mixing unique things that go well together that not the average brain would even attempt to try. Lobster PB&J, Chicken lollipops, braised short ribs and the hummus and tahini sauce is off the charts. Of course they carry incredible pizza and burgers....even those are unique. Their Sat and Sun brunch is everything you are looking for. I challenge any foodie to test this place out. Full bar, games and live music tie everything together for a great outing. Highly recommended. read more
