Wow... where to begin... this was disappointing to say the least. We stood at the door and the…read morehostess came from behind us in the door and then told to sit anywhere we'd like and i'd understand if they were just opening but at this point when we visited they had already been open for hours so not quite sure why she walked in behind us. The actual hookah was mid at best for D.C I was expecting a lot better. Then when it came to the bill we were charged $4 for each bottle (of which we were not even told there was a charge at all for water, and no we did not specifically ask for a sealed bottle all we asked for was water the sever never said tap or bottled, she just automatically brought us sealed) when on the menu they were priced at $3.50 sure it's .50 but when there was five that .50 extra could have almost bought another bottle. Also when she brought the bill she did not even show the itemized bill at first all she showed was the tip screen which upon doing the math from what we ordered vs paid we realized the amount was way higher than what we got and so we asked for the copy of the receipt only to find out there was ALREADY a service charge on there of which was NOT a credit card charge because we paid in cash and when asked what the cash total was she told us $60.31 yet the copy showed the cash price was $57.91 also they charge for charcoal, what am i suppose to do bring my own charcoal? i've never had to pay extra for charcoal they just include it with hookah price, absolutely ridiculous. Not to mention the vibes in this place is like an absolute funeral, all the pictures made this place look so fun and great, but no it was worse than funeral. I felt even more so like i was at a funeral after I realized how badly my wallet was robbed. I will never come back here.

So far, the spring rolls, the pho-nomenal, and caramelized fish are all 5/5 taste wise. Wow! The place is quite polished ready to serve business lunch and dinner dates. The decoration is quite modern. I like the overall vibe. The price of the menu reflects this but everything I ordered so far is so good that the price tag may be worth it. The staff is really nice and friendly and I already know what to order for my next few visits. Parking may be a challenge but it's not really a busy area. If you cannot get street parking, there are parking lots within walking distance either to the left or right side of the restaurant.

The owner was there by himself and he was frantic which really bled into the experience. He was running around and a little panicked. I'm just not sure if the pho broth had much flavor. It didn't have that rich depth of umami flavor that makes a place stick out to me but it certainly wasn't the worst. Curious to try other things on the menu here.

It's more popular during the week but nicely filled whenever you go. I like to walk into the hotel lobby then through their awesome hallway to the front desk.

I love that they clear the crumbs and baby wipe before desert. They did it unobtrusively. Food is great but I wish they had lighter fare options. I love the Cesar salad but needs much less dressing. Just a light mix would be great. Hush puppies were a great hit.

We came here twice for dinner; once as a couple, and another time with another couple who said their food was also really disappointing. First time, I got muscles and they didn't taste fresh; I did not finish. Second time could've been great, but simple things from pairing foods together in thoughtful and tasty ways to preparing sauces so they don't separate... and appropriately seasoning foods... these things missed the mark. The food should measure up better for what they're selling and the price tag.

He was our waiter and, even though it was a really busy evening (my friend and I were there on Halloween), he made sure we were always attended to just enough. Not only did he have excellent knowledge of the menu, he was also incredibly personable and kind. He made me want to come back! Aside from the incredible service, this is a beautiful restaurant with good food. I really loved the ambiance; the booth seating and dim lighting in particular made for such a wonderful time. And despite how packed and buzzing it was throughout, my friend and I were always able to hear each other -- no competition with the music or neighboring tables required. Plus, their bread is really good! Thanks for a great time and look forward to being back in the future.

Unfortunately, our recent experience at Jackson's in Reston was extremely disappointing, especially because we were celebrating my mom's birthday. Our server, Lindsey, was unfriendly from the start, inattentive throughout the meal, and did little to make us feel welcome. One of our drinks took over 10 minutes to arrive, she barely checked on us, and she never acknowledged my mom's birthday. While the birthday dessert was a nice touch, it was brought out by another team member who made more of an effort than our own server. Equally disappointing was the lack of any management presence or follow-up, despite managers being visible in the restaurant. Having worked in the hospitality industry, we understand the importance of good service and are typically very generous with our tips. This was the first time we genuinely questioned whether the service warranted one. Great American Restaurants has built its reputation on excellent food and hospitality, which is why our family has continued to support the group. Unfortunately, this experience fell far below those standards. Management should address the lack of professionalism and attentiveness, as guests celebrating special occasions deserve better. We will continue to visit other Great American Restaurants, but after this experience, we will likely avoid Jackson's in the future.
