I tried a Carnegie Diner in NY a few years ago, so it was cool to see that one opened in VA. The…read morerestaurant was very bright and spacious inside, with a classic American vibe. I was intrigued by the pastrami sandwich options on the menu and really appreciated that gluten free bread was an option, so I had to try it! I was not disappointed at all. The sandwich was hefty - packed with meat, and flavorful. I'm not sure I liked the pile of salad that comes on the side - it's a lot to finish for one person and seems a bit wasteful. The service was good, but the sandwiches did take a bit longer than expected to come out. That might not be the case for other dishes though. I would certainly visit again!

We've been to both Carnegie Diners in Midtown Manhattan and like them very much, so we wanted to…read moretry the Carnegie Diner in Vienna. But driving by on weekends, and seeing the crowds bursting out the door, we deferred visiting the Vienna Carnegie Diner. Instead, on our first time, we came midday on a weekday and there weren't that many people and we were seated immediately. Overall, service was fine, though a bit in disarray because we had two different servers ask if we were ready to order. We both ordered the very good Chicken Salad sandwich. It's huge and really makes for two meals. It comes with very decent fries and an excellent side salad that has been drizzled with two different tasty dressings. We saw lentil soup on the menu, and if it's like the lentil soup at the Carnegie Diners in NYC, I highly recommend it. We absolutely will be back.

If you're hesitant about it being gamey, don't be! It had a perfect balance of sweetness from the caramelized onions and a distinct, smoky flavor from being torched. For the main, I had the Pan Seared Wild Petrale Sole, which was beautifully cooked and fresh. My friend loved the chicken, and we ended the night sharing a delicious dessert. Bonus: Parking was a breeze--we found a spot on the street right in front of the restaurant. We will definitely be back!

Maple Ave is a small, no-frills bistro in Vienna that serves higher end modern European options ran…read moreby two people! They offer a prix-fixe menu that changes seasonally (?) for brunch and dinner. The ingredients here are high-quality and well prepared and cared for before serving. I've heard great things about Maple Ave from a friends, so I took my family here for dinner this past Wednesday. We really enjoyed the creativity of how the dishes were crafted and plated here and the execution was also phenomenal. This time around, it was 59.00 per person for a 4-course prix-fixe dinner (two appetizers, one entree, and one dessert). Since there were only a couple options per section, we were able to try all the options they had. FIRST: APPLE HAZELNUT SOUP Creamy, pale colored soup with a thicker consistency similar to butternut squash soup. It was lightly sweet, yet savory at the same time. There were some pickled apples and toasted hazelnuts delicately sprinkled on top that added a bit of a crunch. The soup was unique and we enjoyed it. FIRST: ROOTCAKE Between the rootcake and the apple hazelnut soup, the rootcake was my favorite. The vegetables were caramelized and made into a patty, topped generously with almonds with some umami aïoli and pimenton sauce. The rootcake was so good. Each bite was hearty and rich, and it's such a unique way to prepare vegetables. The sauce enhanced each bite and the almonds provided a nutty texture. I would recommend the rootcake as your first option. SECOND: CRISPY SQUASH NUGGETS I didn't think I would enjoy the crispy squash nuggets as much as I did. The roasted squash is breaded with panko crumbs, sitting in some dill yogurt sauce and topped with some raisins and radish. The squash were perfectly seasoned and crispy with a soft interior that left my taste buds wanting more. The dill yogurt sauce was a good complement. I'd definitely recommend this option if you're not a fan of mushrooms and/or you want something more crispy. SECOND: WILD MUSHROOM RISOTTO One of the best mushroom risottos I've ever had. It's rich and creamy, filled with truffle flavor. The shiitake mushrooms had a dry, crispy texture. The manchego shavings on top were a great plus. The squash was used for coloring and probably some flavoring? Not sure. The whole thing was really good and memorable. I'd definitely recommend! THIRD: SHRIMP I'm not a huge fan of shrimp, but my family loved it along with the citrus braised fennel. I was a fan of the creamy semolina, though! Overall, it wasn't for me, but that's more of a personal preference. THIRD: PORK CONFIT STEAK The pork they used was pork belly (?) and seared very nicely, topped with perfectly crispy potatoes, mangoes (?), brown butter sweet potato puree and chimi churri sauce. The pork belly melted in my mouth but as someone who's not the biggest fan of fatty pork, I wish it was a leaner cut. The potatoes were so good and went well with the sweet potato puree. Even though I didn't love the pork confit steak, I'd recommend this entree over the shrimp. FOURTH: MOCK FRIED "APPLE" PIE It was zucchini instead of apple and you can't even tell. I loved the crispy pie exterior which was lightly topped with cinnamon. The vanilla bean ice cream was my favorite as it was creamy and smooth. The dulce de leche and lavender honey were nice touches. Very nice way to end the meal. All the food here were so rich with lots of complex flavors. Each dish was so beautifully plated with many vibrant colors. We were quite full after all the food we ate. I would recommend coming here with another person to try all the options they offer here! The food here is unique and well-executed, and I'd be open to come back to try a different seasonal menu.

Everything was going well until an employee began sweeping directly in front of our table while we were eating. She continued sweeping aggressively with no regard for the fact that we were in the middle of our meal. My father politely asked her to stop, and she responded in an agitated tone that she was "just doing her job." Her response was rude and inconsiderate. What made the situation more frustrating was that she was not sweeping near any of the other patrons in the restaurant. The only positive after that interaction was that our dessert, which we ordered to go, was prepared quickly and brought out without any delay.

There is no hostess here, so find your own spot. Once seated, we were quickly given menus and silverware. The Inn is known for its chili dogs, so we both got a chili dog and a single side of fries to share. We each got a draft beer, too. While enjoying our beers, we chatted with our table neighbors. Some tables are long and seat eight, which can be shared like ours. There are a couple of TVs showing college games and lots of lively conversations going on. Our fries came out early, straight from the fryer. We enjoyed those while waiting for the main event. The chili dogs were excellent. It's impossible to keep all that chili on top of the dog, and so extra napkins are a must. Service was super friendly the entire evening. We enjoyed our dogs and will be back again.

Came with cauliflower & a side salad. I asked for balsamic vinaigrette, but they gave me ranch. -chicken tenders (kids menu): Came with fries. This was probably the best tasting thing, so kudos to where they source their frozen chicken tenders. -grilled cheese (kids menu): the bread was crisped nicely & American cheese was melty but the whole thing tasted old. like it was left out in the fridge without a container & absorbed the "fridge" taste...not sure how else to describe it. -spaghetti & meatballs (kids menu): the tomato sauce was spoiled & sour. We were the only ones there at 6:30 pm on a saturday evening. Space is huge & there is a stage for live performances. I can see how this place could be popping 20 years ago. Sadly, its just dated now. Also, I want to add that we are not overly picky eaters, even my kids. They'd usually devour pasta & grilled cheese in a second, but they refused to touch any of it. We really wanted to love this place & support this small business. Unfortunately won't be back.

Food wise: - For my husband: Wings were generous, grilled, and delicious with interesting flavors - For me: Fish and chips were light, flakey, and came with some of the best house cut fries I've ever had. - For the kiddos: Although they had a kids menu, my daughters decided to split some pancakes (basically crepes with raspberries and cream sauce, scrambled eggs, bacon, and potatoes.
