    Inside

    My friend and I ate at the restaurant and the restaurant was clean. There were several patrons in there at the time. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We ordered several tacos and they were just OK. Probably will not order from here again, but not sure yet.

    Carne asada fries

    Was in the area and craving some tacos so dropped in. We came around lunch time on a weekday and was pretty empty so a good spot for a quick lunch if that's what you're looking for. Inside is a large seating area with a bar in the middle which I'm sure gets pretty busy around happy hour. Service was quick and personable and have no complaints there. As for the food if you try nothing else I would suggest the carne asada fries. Of the items we tried they were by far the best. The tacos were also very good with a good blend of flavors. Not the most authentic tacos but they'll get the job done.

    Delicious food as always - and the beans have lots of flavor now - great job, chef! Fajitas, tacos and churros are what dreams are made of!

    Legit this is probably the best tacos I've ever had!! I'm not one to just say this. Homemade corn tortillas and hot sauce. Bartender says chef is big on freshness and it showed. Enjoyed every bite!!

    Was really hoping to like this place more than we did. Let me start with the service, because that was the highlight of the evening. We ate at the bar and had no trouble getting drink refills and replenishing water. Food was quick to come out. We ordered the guacamole appetizer, several different tacos, and the chicken nachos. The guacamole did not have much flavor and the chips were way too salty. The tacos all had decent flavor, but they were very lukewarm. It's almost like they have been made hours beforehand. Same thing with the chicken nachos, I would have thought that the chicken would've been warmer to have melted the cheese on top, but that did not happen. Great beer selection. Great prices. I would probably return to give them another chance and get a full entree meal to make it true decision on this place.

    Everything had so much flavor! Fan of their sister restaurant in Woodbridge, glad they opened something closer to us. Will be back.

    Game Day Specials

    This is an perfect spot for sports fans! We initially visited to watch the games, though the seasonal menu was the real highlight. Their holiday and game day specials are decadent! They had fresh oysters on the half shell, and surf and turf holiday specials which were truly indulgent! The Chicken Quesadilla was fresh and the chicken was cooked to perfection! The Carne Asada Nachos were seasoned well and delicious! This is definitely our new favorite place!

    Mango margarita

    Just tried The Taco Shop and loved it.. it was clean and inviting. They have a huge bar with lots of tvs. I'm looking forward to spending some time here during football season. The margaritas were fresh and not from a mixer and the food was delicious. The shrimp taco was my favorite. I can't wait to go back and try more dishes. .

    The trio

    A warm cozy place for great Mexican food with a twist! Our server, Jr, took care of us with endless drinks and made sure the food ordered was to our liking.

We made reservations since we were a group of 6 including 2 infants, and these were warranted as the restaurant progressively filled up as we got closer to peak brunch hours. We were offered a large booth, which was appreciated as we needed space for the babies. The food here tasted quite good. My wife ordered the Pork Belly Benedict, which offered tender-crisp, thick slices of braised pork belly atop soft, buttery focaccia and coated with well poached eggs and creamy hollandaise. We both highly enjoyed my Broadlands Breakfast Sandwich, a clever take on a standard bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich swapping crispy, perfectly sweet French toast for standard bread. The breakfast potatoes served alongside were crispy on the outside with fluffy interiors and good seasoning. Our friends enjoyed their sandwiches as well. As the name alludes, the drink program is strong and offers something for everyone. In addition to wine and whisky, a solid selection of both cocktails and draft beers are available. Prices for both food and drinks were quite reasonable given the quality of what we received. I do dock a star for just so-so service. Our waitress was a bit MIA during the first part of our meal when we were trying to order, and then kept checking in on us every 5 minutes once our food arrived. We also had to remind her a few times to get a high chair for our little one. Fortunately, the food and drinks all arrived accurately and within a timely manner once ordered. Service woes aside, the creative fare satisfied our taste buds and we look forward to returning soon for to sample more of the brunch menu and libations.

We were slightly nervous because no reservations were available online. However, upon check in we were seated immediately. Parallel offers seating at tables or the bar with a low light upscale vibe. The menu was quite impressive with a wide variety of options available. We tried a few of the appetizers and desserts which we found to be delicious. Our meals were decent portions with stunning presentations. I will say service was on the slower side, and that our waiter did have to be reminded about a couple requests. All and all a great spot for a night out with friends!

Got to check off eating here as it's been on my list of places to try for years. The fresh flowers are a nice touch. We received complimentary treats from the kitchen which set the standard for what was to come. Could have eaten a million more. Our tuna tartare arrived and upon eating our first bites, the taste was off-putting. The staff was so kind to compensate by removing this item from our bill. The mussels are a good dish shareable for two; we asked for soup spoons to enjoy the broth. My friend typically does not order protein as her main entree (coming from a family who is skilled at grilling meats), though I was able to persuade her to share the pork chop. The staff offered to split this into two separate plates. I enjoyed the fact that were were supporting a local fresh pork farm based out of Mount Jackson, VA known as Baker's Farm. All of the dishes were plated creatively and we left feeling full. +Yellow Fin Tuna Tartare-saffron aioli, house made kimchi, crispy tuile +IPA Steamed Mussels-bacon, cherry tomato, basil, grilled sourdough +Smoked Local Pork Chop +Espresso Martini Although my friend mentioned that this is typically more than she would pay for, she would come back for the mussels. I would agree the price point falls short of the flavors.

The cozy atmosphere, stone hearth, and warm decor make it the perfect place for a date night, a special occasion, or just a great evening out. The food is outstanding. The crab dip, the housemade pasta, and the burger are all incredible -- clearly made with real care and quality ingredients. The cocktails are equally impressive and keep pace with the food perfectly. The variety of seating -- dining room, lounge, patio, rooftop, and fire-pit areas -- means there's a perfect spot for any vibe, whether you want something intimate and quiet or lively with live music on the weekends. Service was warm and attentive, and the whole experience felt genuinely special without being stuffy. This place has become my go-to recommendation for anyone visiting the area.

It projects an English modern cabin vibe, but with a touch on whimsy (see mustache coat hangers on booths!). The fireplace is centrally located and gives off an essence of coziness. Complimenting the ambiance, the service was great! The server was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, making great recommendations. We came for brunch and ordered the breakfast burger and pork belly breakfast sandwich. We also split the avocado toast as a starter (we were starving!). The avocado toast was perfectly prepared - toast was cripsy on the outside and chewy and thick on the inside. Ample smattering of smashed avocado with the fixin's. The burger was very good and my friend said they would totally order it again. The pork belly breakfast sandwich held together perfectly despite the inside being heavy. Pork belly remained perfectly crunchy and it had a heavy helping of melted cheese that was not overpowering. Brunch was amazing and we want to go back and experience the patio when it's warmer and also some live music! Such a great vibe and good food!
