Yassssssssssssssssssssssssss!…read more Yassssssssssssssssssssssssss! And MORE YES! For Valentine's Day my sweet friend asked what I wanted to do and what would make me happy. I said I wanted a staycation, good food, spa day and shopping. He asked where I preferred to eat. I chose a few places where I could dress fancy and dress all the way up! He chose a restaurant near this location because I dislike driving, that was super convenient. I love a man that leads, yes to this place and plan! When I arrived, of course the first thing to do was examine the room and head "straight to the bar". I cannot express how delicious this place was! It's a crime to be this delicious! It felt like the chef was whispering, 'You don't need that fancy place tonight... I'm all you need, baby.' And honestly? He wasn't wrong. The AKB was contemporary, reminded me of NYC, and service was great! Let's get into it! Margarita Please! Wow these were good! Maybe too good! One down, two, did I really order three? Geeesh Spanish Shrimp Scampi - I can't describe this at all, it was super freaking delicious and portion size was HUGE! Mind you we had dinner reservations and he ordered this appetizer just to have something to nibble on but my goodness, this was way too much food. We canceled Friday dinner plans because I was so full! Full but so content. The food was sooooo yummy. Highly recommend this little bar as a pit stop before going to any restaurant around the area or just coming here to indulge! Way to go chef! Talk about steal the night and the show!!!! Love, love, love this hotel bar! The absolute BEST!

It's not the first time that I stay at The Archer but it is the very first time that I dine at AKB…read more I was a bit skeptical to eat here based off of previous reviews but this morning the restaurant looked so inviting, so I gave it a go. My waitress was Maritza. She was so sweet and very attentive. I ordered the sunrise breakfast and a few mimosas. I asked for my eggs to be scrambled soft and they were done to perfection... This may seem like such a simple yet straightforward breakfast but you'd be surprised how many fine dining establishments can't even scramble eggs or get the bacon just right! My breakfast truly exceeded my expectations and the service was top notch! My mimosas were on point! A lil on the pricier side but well executed.

Every time I return I find myself loving this place more and more. As an out of town visitor, it is…read moreabsolutely lovely to feel as if you have an easygoing place to grab a drink. Regardless of who is tending to us, we have never felt anything but welcome. Michael, Kylie and Danny go beyond what is expected of them and create a wonderful friendly atmosphere for guests to converse. The variety of events hosted by Starr Hill have me marking my calendars and excited for my next return!

All three were very tasty, but I went down the middle with Jomo. For food, I had a Steak Sandwich, which was on a very nice roll, with potato salad, that was very well made. Not overly mayonnaised at all. Service was quick, although it was not really busy at the time. I do intend to return there when I get a chance, and will try more foods and beers.

Really enjoyed my time at circa!…read more Before coming, I perused the menu and knew that I wanted the chicken paillard. It was something I'd never heard of and looked like it had Angel hair pasta, arugula, and the chicken looked interesting. It looked fried, but not in a typical way. So when I got my meal, I was so pleasantly surprised at how delicious the chicken was. It was a light crispy, airy texture to the skin. And the pasta was delicious - so good. It had mushrooms and sweet peppers along with the butter sauce. Thoroughly enjoyed it! I also ended up getting a mocktail which was a spicy faux margarita. Not bad! It had a nice ambience for groups, and our server was super helpful. He made a lot of good suggestions and made sure to check on us. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you're in the area and looking for a nice dining experience!

After 5 years of happiness with Circa my joyful experience came to the end with their decision to…read morechange their menu. I hope they monitor reviews and will hear my grievances. I understand that you can't as a restaurant work on the same menu all the time,but they take away almost all staples and replace them with something very questionable. So far I tried 2 items and both were with major issues. First I tried Grilled trout entree and trout was bland with nice farro side . Whole dish seems underwhelming and had a lack of bonding sauce or flavor profile to make it a dish. Second time I had Salmon salad and this was not good at all. Salmon itself was perfectly cooked as a medium rare on my liking and champagne dressing in mixed greens was good. But I salad had cold and slimy potato pieces and big chunks of blackish marinated onions,it was hard to eat and even unpleasant. I'm really disappointed,because Thai shrimp salad was absolutely best salad in DC area as well as other very popular dishes from old menu. Please bring back Thai Shrimp!!

Hosted a private room event here the other night. We did a tasting menu with optimal wine or…read morewhiskey pairings for each course. The food quality is high, the service has dropped a bit since last year, but still above average. You won't leave hungry, with huge portions for a 4 course evening, plus amuse bouche. We had giant tiger prawn, Hawaiian Ono, and Venison & Pork belly for proteins. The Ono was slightly overcooked, but not enough to ruins the dish. The chosen wines paired perfectly with each dish, and the bartenders choices for the whiskey pairings were fantastic. A good selection of Irish, Japanese, and American whiskies . If you're looking to do a private party/room with them, go for it.

10/10 experience! I was definitely skeptical because of it being a chain restaurant... however I…read morewas pleasantly surprised!! Johnny was our server and was super positive, informative, and quick. The food came out quickly but well presented. We ordered two appetizers- the Cheese Curds and the Poke Nachos. Both EXCELLENT. The poke nachos were absolutely delicious- light, crunchy, and yummy. I got the Cumin Chili Shrimp tacos- they were crunchy and yummy. Good seasoning. I got corn tortillas. I ordered the Downeast Blackberry Cider which was also delicious. It was definitely very sweet but in a good way! The booth was spacious and TVs were playing. It wasn't too loud- you could hear each other talk, it was a good mix of sounds. Would definitely return!

Food: 8/10 - - 5/10…read moreThe onion rings were okay but they weren't hot like they were fresh out of the fryer . The sauce was good with them though, but I only ate a few because I felt like it was starting to my stomach queasy. I probably wouldn't order them again. My friend also was not feeling them. - 8/10 The lobster garlic noddles were great but I felt like it needed a sauce like some type of soy garlic flavored sauce or similar to bring some wetness to the meal. But the flavor was good! - 10/10 Broccolini was great! I can't tell by the smell and taste that it was charred on the grill which was how I like it cooked. It was well seasoned too. Service: 8/10 Had great service! The hosts and waitresses were welcoming and kind. I do feel like the tables should already have silverware so I had to request it in order to eat my food. Ambiance: 8/10 I like the vibe here. My friend calls it an "upscale Friday's" lol. Prices were not too bad tho. Overall: 7.8 /10 I will be back but try something different

Came here for weekend brunch and it was delicious!…read more The food here is top notch and I would recommend coming very hungry. To drink had their ube lattes, which were delicious.

This has become our favorite place to dine. The food is always fresh, delicious and well timed…read more We've had nearly every entree on the menu. No choice is a miss! The service is perfect, we are regulars and have our favorite corner table which makes dining here ever so special. Idylwood Grill feels like being teleported to Italy with the music and decor.

We ate here for the first time last night, and it definitely won't be the last. Thank you to the…read moreInKind app for leading us to this restaurant. The food and drinks were terrific. We were impressed by our meals: the flounder, seafood spaghetti, calamari, chocolate mousse cake, and key lime pie. In fact, my husband said it was the best key lime pie he's ever had. He didn't use the marinara sauce that came with the calamari for dipping, but he ended up eating the sauce separately with a spoon because it was that good. He had a shiraz (okay, two glasses) and I enjoyed a prosecco (also two glasses). This place is a gem tucked away in an unassuming strip mall and absolutely worth seeking out. The service was efficient, friendly, and welcoming.

I went to the side to order my meal - Shaved Pastrami Melt. The sandwich took about 10 minutes to come out which was probably because of how busy the restaurant was at 3:15 PM. There was a steady stream of people coming in and out, some to place take out orders. The sandwich was good. There was plenty of pastrami. The fries on the side were ok. They have a few tables outside where I was able to eat my sandwich.

She suggested Patsy's and I'm really glad she did. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed. The staff was welcoming, friendly, and clearly on top of everything, which immediately set the tone for a great experience. The food was excellent definitely top-notch, though a bit on the pricey side but worth it overall. What really stood out, though, was a young man named Henry, who was working as a food runner. As someone who's naturally outgoing, I struck up a conversation with him, and he left a lasting impression. For just 18, he carried himself with confidence, warmth, and professionalism. You can tell he has a bright future ahead of him. Places like this should hold on to people like Henry he truly elevated the entire experience. Thank you for a memorable evening.
