Choros a la chalaca must must
Lauren C.

The service was amazing, I'm not too sure what the previous reviews are about. Also, to the yelper who gave a one star for a waitress not speaking English, if the waitress doesn't speak English, you don't have to be a jerk about it if they use a translator. I've been to authentic high end and family ran restaurants where the menu isn't in English, doesn't mean you give shit to them or complain about. Learn to be at least a decent human being. Anyways, this spot is fairly new, and needs to be exposed ASAP. Pero, the service like I said, the waitresses are so sweet and offered suggestions of their favorites, which now I found my favorite Peruvian dish; lomo con huancaina. The mussels were so refreshing, a little bit salty but still refreshing. Aji de gallina was soooooo good, pero there wasn't enough of it! The chicken fell apart and the sauce was smooth and buttery, ask for the yuca on the side!! Will not regret it.

Salad dressing for my nachos because there is no salsa here
Chantal B.

Waitress does not speak English. She's using translator on her phone to communicate with me. She brought out complimentary nachos with cocktail sauce. I asked for salsa and she came back with ranch & some other salad dressing. I had to Google a picture of salsa for her. Well let's just say, they have none. What kind of Latin restaurant serves nachos with no salsa. And even with a picture she still did not recognize what I was asking for. The bartender has to be one of the most unprofessional and rudest people I've encountered in a long time. He apparently speaks English but will not speak to me. Each time I walk up to the bar he points to the waitress. He has not said 1 single word to me.

Jalea Mixta

Very friendly service. I liked the Jalea Mixta which is a fried seafood platter with fish, shrimp, calamari, yucca and Peruvian corn. This restaurant has 2 large bars with seating as well as a dining room. Lots of TVs. Nicely remodeled.

I went here for drinks late at night with a friend - the drinks were okay. I wish there was a drink menu. The server was really nice and attentive. I also thought the decorations were cute and on them. I may come back here for food! Who knows

I stumbled across this restaurant and was pleasantly surprised! Food was delicious and Oscar the manager made me feel at home. Nice ambiance, great local place!

OMG I hate having to do this review. This is the third time eating food from this restaurant. First time was great, second time not so good, this time never again. Had the seafood rice, some grains of rice were hard and some overcooked. I hadn't eating all day and they say that when you eat hungry everything tasted good, well today I found out that is not correct. One of the worst experiences I've had in a long time, simply nasty.

Seco de frijoles con carne .

I've been there twice , and it's a nice place to hang out with friends. I got SECO DE FRIJOLES was really good . All personal are friendly, specially Lili and Vivian .

My experience was very good!!! The delicious food and the A1 attention, I would definitely return without thinking. Exquisite chicken rice!

the food is delicious, it's a trip to peru when you close your eyes. The rice with chicken is very tasty, it's the second time I've come but this time with my family and we're not wrong, we had an incredible time since they almost always have live music, the attention is very good.

Estuve en restaurante The Sea y la mesera se llama Frescia estuvimos 45 minutos esperando y la comida nunca llegó tuvimos que pagar las sodas de los niños y nuestras bebidas y la mesera cuando vio que yo fui a pedir la cuenta ella vino a preguntar si todo está bien y por eso cobran los típs de una vez porque saben que son malos meseros si no no les dejan nada. no lo recomiendo! La verdad que falla la frescia en el servicio!

Much better experience today for an early dinner. We sat for about 5 mins (uh oh) before our server…read morecame over. He did bring 2 waters with ice when taking our order. My son wanted beef medallions (sold out) so opted for 9 oz sirloin, salad, baked potato & bread. I felt like getting the full rack of ribs ( Glory and bbq sauce on side) slaw, mac n cheese & corn bread. The salad came out first. Cold, crisp and fresh. Yummy. The sirloin came out medium rare. It was soft, a little chew but tender with a very beefy flavor. The steak was seasoned perfectly. The baked potato was good. A crust of salt on outside skin and soft inside. Not an Idaho fluffy potato but still good. The ribs came out as half (I ordered a full rack). They were naked but char grilled. I wanted both glory & bbq sauce on side to dip the meat. Dry but tender and flavorful. I love that char grilled flavor. Bbq sauce nothing special but glory sauce had that NC vinegar tang plus sweetness to cut through the heavy pork meat. Mac n cheese & slaw were good. Nothing special. Corn bread was average. The warm/hot buns/bread was awesome. Unfortunatey, we had to ask for them except on the menu, it said buns came with steak dinner??? A few hickups today but overall, well done Glory Days.

I like how Glory Days uses bigger buns so the burger fits on it. We get our fries without seasoning and they were perfect and hot. The side of crispy thin onion straws were so tasty I couldn't stop eating them! Yasminth is an awesome server. She greeted us with the biggest, brightest smile and checked on us regularly. Everything was clean with TVs everywhere to see sports and news at every angle. We chose the Merrifield location as the one near our home isn't up to par. So glad we came here - it was a great experience! This is our new location going forward! Thank you!

It used…read moreto be a dive bar ... ok fine, it's still a dive bar ... we won't speak the name here ... and it's maintained and even perhaps increased, uh, "quality," if that's even a word we can apply to such a place, since then. I go here regularly. Typically once a quarter, though I'll admit I paused during the dark times. So let's talk about what works: The pool and the darts. They work. Sure, the cues might be a little bent here and there, but for the most part they're straight, there's plenty of chalk, the tables are leveled. The basics are good. The darts are even better. None of that cork dartboard crap. Nope, packed hair. What kind of hair? Not clear, but in any case not mine. Aaaaand, the quality ends there. If you're actually *into* playing darts, bring your own. The plastic, bent, crap they have available is almost entirely unusable. That's not to say I'm some expert dart player, but I do aim and I like the darts to follow the path I throw, even when I throw poorly. Very confused about positive reviews about service. When playing, it seems hard to get a server's attention. When I do, things work out fine - and things get better when the loaded tots get there ... but it's the attention I think is fundamentally lacking. But whatever. I'll go back. Again and again. Because where else would I go for that pool hall vibe?!

Men and women working here are incredibly accommodating and personable. Tables are good quality…read more House cues are house cues but whatever.. I played fine with them. I didn't have a chance to try the food but beer selection was excellent and inexpensive! I would 100% come back to this spot if I were in the area. Oh and ambiance, everyone was very friendly and place is upscale. Lots of room between tables and darts seemed to be the same. I played for 3-4 hours and drank tons of beer - my tab was close to $50 so you cannot beat that anywhere. Great job folks!!

The…read moreservice has been very good on every visit, and the bathroom has always been exceptionally clean. The Bloody Mary was good, but the avocado toast was the real standout. It had an incredible combination of black beans, charred corn kernels, feta cheese, and a flavorful kick from the chili aioli. It is the best avocado toast we've ever had! We also tried the salmon avocado toast and added two eggs, and it was delicious as well. The capers and combination of ingredients worked beautifully together. What really makes the avocado toast special is the bread. It is grilled until incredibly crunchy and perfectly toasted. They really know how to build an avocado toast, from the crisp, grilled bread to the creamy avocado, chili aioli, feta, and other flavorful toppings. Every bite has great texture and complexity. The steak and eggs were good, too. The steak was grilled to a perfect temperature and had a simple but flavorful seasoning of salt. The challah French toast was delicious--the French toast flavor was infused all the way through the bread, making every bite flavorful. The crispy corn flakes, macerated berries, and citrus cream on top added wonderful texture and extra complexity. We also love the complimentary popcorn. It is super tasty and a fun snack to enjoy while waiting for the food. The Cobb salad is another delicious choice. Everything tastes fresh, and the grilled chicken makes it hearty and filling. The grilled shrimp salad was also very good, with cashews, edamame, and jicama. The chili bowl is another good option if you're looking for something hearty. For lunch or dinner, try the filet tip pasta. It has a delicious lime flavor and is very tasty. The salmon with warm salad is another good choice. The coffee is good if you like a bold cup. And for dessert, the bread pudding is a perfect finish. It comes in a small muffin-sized portion topped with a dollop of whipped cream and a mint garnish. There are so many good choices here, and everything we've tried has been fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. We've had consistently good experiences here and look forward to coming back!

Drinks from the bar took quite a while to arrive, and there was also a long wait for our food to come out of the kitchen. I ordered the chicken fajitas, and they were definitely the highlight of my meal--hot, sizzling, nicely grilled, and very flavorful. Others in our group also enjoyed the generous portions of wings, fresh salads, and the jambalaya, so the food overall was very good. The restaurant has a fun, energetic vibe, but it was so loud that it was difficult to carry on a conversation at our table. One other downside was parking. The lot is fairly small and shared with three different restaurants, so finding a spot was frustrating. I'd come back because the food was good and the staff was genuinely friendly, but I'd hope for faster service and a better parking experience next time.

There is outdoor seating. Two large bar areas are inside and two dining areas, each with their own vibe. While the back (err side facing the street) has more tv's and a larger bar, both areas are kid and family friendly. There's a variety of mocktails and adult beverages to choose from. I was delighted to see a Pimms Cup! The drinks are vasty and well put together, not just with a thrown together mix. The servers are super friendly and appropriately attentive. Ours made really good recommendations. There's a very good beer selection and wine choices as well. We ordered A LOT of food (no judgment!) because trying new things is fun! The French Dip sandwich was DELISH! Perfectly executed and the roll was homemade and perfect. The best were the fried mozzarella cheese sticks - they're absolutely enormous and provide the perfect cheese pull. Don't skip the lump crab dip - the homemade baguette was the perfect compliment and the flavor was perfection. The pimento smash burger was good, but I would choose other items over this. It didn't eat like a regular smash burger and was way too overly saucy for me.

The food was really good! I loved my steak and eggs which came with two crispy, garlicky hash browns. My husband thought the chicken in his dish was better than usual, juicy well seasoned and crispy chicken thigh. I didn't grab a photo, but the upside down pineapple cake was so good. The menu has a lot of choices and the prices are reasonable. Service was a tad slow. Despite signage, it was really confusing on where to enter.

Word of advice: make a reservation! When you step through the doors, you're greeted by that lively hum of a packed house with every booth and table full. Scored a parking spot right outside, which was a great start to the night. Bread Basket: Outstanding start. The little round fried dough breads were incredible, and the artisan loaf (seemed like an olive bread) paired with the butter was fantastic. Calamari & Onion Strings: Fried to absolute crispy perfection without being greasy. Since my wife has a lobster allergy, they accommodated us by putting the lobster ginger sauce on the side for me. That sauce is killer, and the calamari and onion strings stood strong on their own, too. Side Salad: Came with the steak and was generous enough for my wife and me to share. I can't recall the exact dressing name from the menu, but it was seasoned and balanced completely on point. Drunken Ribeye & Loaded Baked Potato: Hands down one of the best restaurant dishes I've had in a very long time. First off, I loved the humor on the menu under the meat temperature guide, under 'Well Done' it literally says "Order chicken." Hilarious! I ordered mine rare, and they executed it flawlessly. Tender, high-quality cut of beef, great char, and deep, phenomenal flavor. The loaded baked potato had the exact right ratios of all the fixings. Portions were so generous that half went home for lunch the next day. Jambalaya Pasta: My Wife (My BFF) ordered this for her entree and thoroughly enjoyed every bite. The high ratings and reviews for this place did not lie. If you are in the Northern Virginia area, or looking for a meal that genuinely justifies the trip, do your stomach a favor and check out Artie's. 5 stars all the way!

They seemed a little short-handed when we arrived with one waitress covering about 7 or eight tables and manning the bar. She was awesome and had a great attitude as she hustled to serve guests. She got reinforcements which helped a lot. My wife and I each had the Sojourn Dwell IPA and it was out of this world. For food, we had not one but two portions of the house made pickles because they are so darn good! We also had the pancake which my wife loved but I thought was so-so. The pork belly bao was delicious! We also shared an order of the Three-Cup Sauce wings. They were sweet and well-cooked. The place has a very minimalist vibe with excellent music playing while we were there. It's not everyday you get "You're The Best" from Karate Kid playing in the background! It got VERY crowded around 6:30 when a bunch of people all showed up at the same time and it got pretty loud too, mostly due to a big group of mildly drunk people standing in the bar area.

Decided on this little spot in Fairfax town center after having a quick weekend day trip to DC. Really pleasantly surprised with the whole atmosphere of the place. It's a true fusion of asian bites but still a legitimate dive bar. The space is small, patrons are merry, and the whole place is an absolute vibe. I ordered some pilsner and some other lager on tap from local breweeies. Delicious. Ordered popcorn chicken, pork belly, and some 'real food' - a quick rice bowl with chicken. The fried bites were wonderfully crispy. They have good oil management and felt quite light especially with a swig of a cold lager. The rice bowl was tasty too. Construction was indeed very Taiwanese, and yet... I still felt like I'm in a dive bar complete with all its grunge. So cool They sell 4/6 packs of craft brews here too. They've got stuff all the way up from some Vermont and Maine (true craft beer land IMO)
