    Stopped at Vibrissa twice while visiting Front Royal! The first night we went for dinner and drinks and we both enjoyed our meal and beers. The next day we went back just for the stout - so good! Fast, friendly service - worth checking out

    We've visited the Winchester location numerous times so I wanted to check this one out. There's a few things different in the menu. The nachos got were huge and could feed 3-4 people. The atmosphere is nice. It's helpful they have outdoor seating too. The waiting staff were very good in keeping tabs on us.

    We sat outside here on a Saturday and had a great time! We stayed with the dry rub wings, and I ordered a burger with a GF bun. The wings were incredible, and the burger was good but I would probably try something different next time as the bun wasn't the best GF one I have had. The sweet potato fries were also great! This place has plenty of gluten free options and even has a dedicated fryer! The service was really quick and Patrick was an awesome server.

    Hip, fun, beer spot that sells AMAZING chicken wings!! On our way to Rileyville, we visited Vibrissa for a quick beer & appetizer and was quite surprised how good their food was. Came with a dog & a kid, so seated outside. Thought the place was spacious and cute. Service was great, fast, attentive. Ordered a variety of food and everything tasted amazing, may I say, even better than some spots in DC. Beer was alright, not the best not the worst but they were fine enough to drink, and did its job! We'll certainly be coming back if we're in the area. It was such a fun pit stop!

    This is a great little spot in the heart of downtown Front Royal. The brewery has plenty of seating inside at the bar, tables, and booths along with plenty of outdoor seating. They also have a really big menu and full kitchen! We got the wings and they were amazing. Crispy, no breading, and plenty of sauce on them. As a wing enthusiast, these were top tier and large wings. It seems like they might bake them and then flash fry to get them crispy. Well done! The backs were just okay. They cheese sauce was a bit bland and they left a lot to be desired. The main issue was the backhoes weren't layered with toppings so once the top layer was eaten, we were left with just plain tortilla chips. The staff was extremely friendly and the beer selection was fantastic. Their hazy IPA "Floof" was very refreshing.

    We needed a local 'pet-friendly' restaurant. Found this place: good food, very friendly staff, comfortable atmosphere, near to the center of town. Fro-Ro has done a good job of recapturing the small-town ambiance missing from so many communities. The staff were engaging and accommodating (we had three children under 3 with us, plus a pup) and we were afforded comfortable seating outside under heaters. Definitely a return trip for dessert next time in town

    We shared the Chesapeake Fries, crispy tofu bites, veggie potstickers and the roasted beet/goat cheese salad: all delicious. The Crushin' on Whiskey cocktail and the Pucker Punch beer were great compliments. Waitstaff were attentive and friendly.

    I had the pimento smash burger on sourdough with a side of fries. Service was excellent! The tallow fries tasted great but could have been a little crispier.

    Great place, loved the beer selection. Looked like a great cocktail selection, though we did not partake. Service was perfect, everyone took care of us and was very nice. Special thanks to Abigail R, our server. Wife had a Reuben and onion ring, said it was great, she shared a ring, I agree. I had the Korean meatloaf, broccoli and mashed potatoes, so good, a little extra Korean flavor, phenomenal! We sat outside on a perfect night, loved the overall feel of this place. Are traveling, so can't say I will get there again, but highly recommend

    We stopped in on our road trip on the suggestion of a local when the BBQ restaurant we targeted was closed. Vibrissa is located on the quaint Main Street with convenient public parking around the back. If you enter the front, walk through to the host station. There is indoor and outdoor seating. We sat outside in the evening of a 90+ degree day. It was super pleasant. All the staff was cheery and pleasant. We got the pork belly sliders, jalapenos (cheesy and stuffed with crab), and fried pickles. All were delicious. Don't miss the beers! The stout was smooth and creamy: a real winner. The Pilsner was light and delicious with no aftertaste. My husband recommends the IPA (twice!). For dinner we got the ramen (not traditional Japanese, but delicious nonetheless. Good noodles), buglogi style beef (generous and good flavor), cheese steak sandwich (not just good, really good). I got the Greek salad and added fried tofu (I know, not a traditional choice, but o recommend: crispy and creamy), and kids Mack. The salad has tons of delicious olives, pickled onions....so good! I would definitely go again and again!

    Pork bellies
    Jennifer S.

    Omgosh! Is the first thing I can say about this place! I was VERY hesitant but.im so glad we decided to visit. Hubby got pork bellies, he LOVED THEM! I got the collard green melt with pepper jack cheese and it was probably the BEST SANDWICH I HAVE EVER HAD! Hubby had Bacon Me Crazy burger and we both said best meal we have ever had! Michelle was an awesome server. Very attentive, friendly and personable...I wish I lived here, I would visit often. If I'm ever back here, I will definitely visit. Amazing ...

    Ask the Community - Vibrissa Beer

    Is smoking alowed on outside patio?

    No it is not. But a few steps away is ok.

    Do you have an outside patio area and do you allow dogs?

    Yes we do. Because of the small area, we allow only a few dogs in the outside beer garden. It is always at the discretion of the manager on duty.

I don't like spinach so I got it with a side of green beans. -Green beans: good but cooked and seasoned unevenly. I still liked it -Grilled mahi tacos: I enjoyed this the most. The taco shell isn't a taco shell, more like a flatbread or naan toasted. It has a variety of textures and flavors - pumpkin seeds, jalapeño slaw, avocado sauce, and pico. It's bright and punchy and delicious. Comes w fries -Sweet potato fries: so yum. Crispy outside fluffy inside Cheese pizza: a lot of cheese- a little too much for me. The restaurant itself is lake themed with beautiful wood paneling, floor to ceiling windows, centered around a cozy fire place. I made a comment that it'd be perfect for baby/ bridal showers and my friend said people actually have weddings here. The interior is matched by an even more beautiful view. They offer outdoor waterside seating on their deck. It looks to be screened in/ have windows so you're not exposed to the weather. Service was great/ attentive.

    I went into dinner at The Inn at Little Washington with very high expectations. I've been fortunate…read moreenough to dine at multiple Michelin two and three-star restaurants around the country, so I'm familiar with what that level of dining can deliver--and, more importantly, what I believe the experience should feel like. There were certainly some excellent moments. The egg course was fantastic, the caviar addition to the lobster was a great touch, and the lamb was one of the strongest courses of the evening. The cheese service was also outstanding and probably one of the highlights of the entire meal. The service, setting and attention to detail are all what you would expect from an establishment with this much history and reputation. Unfortunately, the meal was ultimately undermined by the wine pairing. The reserve wine pairing was disappointing. We paid $750 per person for the wine pairing, which consisted of just four very small pours. At that price, I expected an extraordinary lineup of wines--rare, compelling bottles that elevated the food and made the pairing an integral part of the experience. Instead, the wines struck me as fairly mediocre, and the tiny pours made the value particularly difficult to understand. The pours were about 1.5 - 2 ounce pours of wines that are readily available online and some even available at discount wine sites. The first wine was sweet and a $65 retail wine, second was a mid-level Sauvignon blanc, followed by a mid-level Chardonnay. The pours were about 1.5-2 ounces so you barely received a taste of the wine. The last wine was very good but the pour was even smaller. For 1,500, my wife and I could have had a top tier bottle of wine. They should feel embarrassed about this offering. The wine pairing pours equalled about 1/2 - 3/4 bottle of wine for the two of us. Having experienced multiple Michelin star restaurants, this is where The Inn at Little Washington fell short for me. At the very highest level of dining, I'm not simply looking for good food. I'm looking for an experience that feels exceptional from beginning to end. The ingredients, creativity, portions, wine program, pacing and overall sense of occasion should all come together in a way that makes the moment feel magical. There were many times during the meal where we had no wine and no food. This has never happened at any of my experiences at other Michelin restaurants. There are plenty of diners who absolutely love the Inn, and I can understand why. There are also reviews from other guests who have praised the food, service and overall experience while others have questioned the value and portion sizes. That divide is understandable. The restaurant clearly has its devoted following, but my experience left me on the more critical side. To be clear, this isn't a bad restaurant. Far from it. The egg, caviar-enhanced lobster, lamb and cheese service were all excellent, and the Inn remains an impressive destination with exceptional service and a beautiful setting. But when you've dined at multiple Michelin star restaurants, you develop a pretty good sense of what separates a very good restaurant from an extraordinary one. For me, The Inn at Little Washington didn't deliver the level of food, wine or value that I've experienced at other three-star establishments. Three stars from me. The food has moments of brilliance, but at the reserve wine pairing was simply too difficult to overlook. And considering the restaurant's recent fall from three Michelin stars to two, I think the downgrade is understandable.

    A must try at least once. Wonderful experience, would definitely be doing back. Makes you feel that…read moreyou are in a different era in a different place.
