    I've never seen such a disgusting sandwich.
    Tetyana G.

    This was one of the most disappointing experiences I've had. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. The photos online are not what you actually get. When I stopped by this morning, the display case was almost empty. I ordered two croissants and a hot bacon-and-egg sandwich to go, and paid $25. Honestly, $15 for that sandwich felt very overpriced compared to other places. When I opened it at home, the only accurate part of the description was that it was hot. The bread was dry, there was no mayo, just one egg and a strip of bacon, and no cheese. It left me completely shocked that this is what they're serving for $15. The bread wasn't fresh either, which made it even worse. I'll be leaving reviews so others know what to expect. Unfortunately, I can't recommend this place at all.

    I was craving a breakfast sandwich and found Starnut Gourmet, a cute café with gluten-free options! I ordered the everything bagel egg sandwich with turkey bacon (no cheese), while my husband ordered a croissant egg sandwich, also with turkey bacon and no cheese. The gluten-free bagel tasted good, and I appreciated that it didn't crumble. However, there was something missing in both sandwiches (probably because we asked for no cheese). If I had known they would be so bland, I would have asked for a side of guac. I'll keep this in mind for next time. To drink, we ordered an oat latte and a chai cardamom, which were really good as well! Staff is really nice. The restaurant has a lot of indoor and outdoor seating available.

    Latte is the face of Starnut! Love it when that cute shih tzu comes out to say hello to everyone, especially our shih tzu! The food is, quite honestly, A-ok. More of a 3.5. Nothing to sing home about but it's nice to have in rotation for brunch with the family outdoors, given we always have our dogs with us. I will say, if you have a larger party than 3, call ahead to reserve an outdoor table. They won't let you move the tables around to fit your needs and that's fine. Pricing is par for the course in our neighborhood. Coffee has always been fine but no family member has ever asked to go back here- it's usually my pleading from running out of other options. Nothing bad, nothing terribly great. Parking is easy and there's always a nice breeze going on.

    I met a friend for coffee and breakfast and it seems the rest of McLean already knows Starnut is a great spot! We visited on a Monday morning and there were quite a few other groups. I ordered a latte and breakfast sandwich on the and really enjoyed both. The service was great, I look forward to visiting again soon!

    The coffee is always delicious, the restaurant is always clean and it has some of the friendliest and kindest workers in McLean! Our family (including our dog!) has been coming here for years and always feel welcome and at home!

    Huge delicious croissants
    Nancy R.

    I've been to Starnut many, many times to enjoy their wonderful biscotti and coffee.  It's a super place to meet friends and relax with good food.  This was the first time we went for their high tea and it was wonderful.  Starnut set up a table complete with a white table cloth and china in a quiet corner beneath a watercolor mural.  We each received four little sandwiches, three pastries, a huge delicious croissant with butter and jam and a selection of chocolates and little cookies.  We did not go home hungry.  We especially appreciated that we could tailor the selections to the dietary needs/wants of our party.  Starnut offered a selection of teas and was very good about stopping by the table to offer more hot water or to see if there was anything we needed.  When the table became full with tasty treats and tea, we could use the two pedestals to the side to hold the carafe of milk or the dish with the honey, sugar etc.  We also appreciated that we could pick a day and time of our choosing rather than being limited to a couple of days a month.  Who knew that this neighborhood delight could be even better?  Thank you to Starnut for an even more special afternoon with friends.  Parking is available right outside.

    First time visitor, I felt welcomed AND appreciated, everything in Refrigerator display case looks amazing. Good coffee, excellent bacon egg & cheese bagel,

    Spanakopita Sandwich - Spinach and feta panini
    Aarti B.

    Cute cafe - wish they had more vegetarian options and a tad expensive. The Spanakopita sandwich wasn't quite what I was expecting. There was no phyllo dough and just a spinach and feta grilled cheese panini and the mixed greens on the side were okay. While the service was nice and doing their best to keep up with bustling orders, it was a bit unclear whether the tip on the tablet (which I left $3), went to the servers or to the restaurant (I really hope the servers got it!). The bussing was a bit confusing too as I didn't realize that I was supposed to bus my own table. While it was nice to sit under the veranda with some shade, I got scorched from the sun and umbrellas would be more effective. It was nice to try the cute cafe, but don't plan on returning.

    Rude service. The staff member pressured us to buy more food and prioritized food over coffee. We will not return.

    One of my go-to date night spots, and overall, I've had consistently good experiences here. One…read morething I really appreciate is the farm-to-table aspect. You can genuinely taste the freshness in the food, and the menu has a lot of variety, which makes it easy to come back and try something new. If you ever catch their fried okra on the menu, GET IT. I cannot recommend it enough. It's that good. I also usually start with their spinach and artichoke dip, which never misses. I've been wanting to try the fried green tomatoes next, so I'll definitely be back for that. They used to have a vegetarian burger that I loved, but since they took it off the menu, I've been trying their other options like the beet/apple-style burger. My go-to move now is swapping the standard bread and getting it on a potato bun instead, it's chef's kiss!! The sauce they use ties everything together perfectly and the fries? I love them every single time . For drinks, I usually go with the hibiscus soda or their soda or the day. It's refreshing and a nice change from the usual options. For dessert, their apple pie is a 10/10. I've had it multiple times and it never disappoints. The key lime pie is more of an 8/10 for me, but still solid. My husband swears by their chocolate cake. The ambiance is another reason I keep coming back. It's alm, cozy, and perfect for a date night or a relaxed dinner. Service can be a little hit or miss. Most visits have been smooth, but the last time we went, things were a bit slower. Our waiter was delayed, and our fries came out a little cold. That said, when it's not busy, service is usually quick and attentive. All in all, I'd give Founding Farmers a solid 4 out of 5. Great food, great vibe, just slight inconsistency with service at times. Definitely still a spot I'll keep in rotation.

    First time dining in Earl's in Tysons…read more Great restaurant, nice ambiance and feels upscale. Food tasted great and had surprisingly good portion sizes. The Crispy Sushi with Salmon is a must order for an appetizer. Our server was Mal, she was great and very friendly. Mal was able to remember everything we asked for and always made sure we doing okay. I'm not sure if my menu was missing a page but there was barely a cocktail menu, so it would be nice if they had more offerings.

The menu is definitely on the pricier side, but the quality makes it worth it. Standout favorites for me over time include the sushi + steak appetizer, the truffle tortellini, the spicy Calabrian pasta, and really any of the burgers. Special shoutout to the ahi tuna, which they do well in multiple forms: poke bowls, tacos, and appetizers. Service is typically attentive and efficient, which adds to the experience. The only downside is parking...it can be a bit tricky. There is free parking in the adjacent lot, but spots are often hard to find. They do offer validation for the paid garage, which is helpful. Overall, a great go to for a nicer night out with consistently solid food and atmosphere.

We ordered: - the honeydew mocktail (this was so good, I haven't had a mocktail that I enjoyed so much in a long time now) - the assortment of dips (delicious and paired so well with the bread) - a side of toum (this is an essential for me at any restaurant) - the ottoman rice (my family's favorite) - brussel sprouts - cauliflower (our server's favorite) - Adana kepab - the small lamb shoulder dish (really good) - branzino (sooo good and cooked perfectly) - pistachio soufflé (like a chocolate lava cake but with pistachio inside--soooo fab) We absolutely loved everything that we ordered and the bread that they served the food with.
