    The new Chicken Parmesan at Clare & Don's is a must-try!…read more I had to give their new Chicken Parm a try, and it did not disappoint! The chicken was crispy and flavorful, topped with a generous amount of marinara sauce, melted cheese, and Parmesan. It was served over a big portion of creamy tomato pasta that was absolutely delicious. The portion was huge, the flavors were on point, and everything came together perfectly. Definitely the kind of comfort food that leaves you full and happy. Great job, Clare & Don's! This new Chicken Parmesan is definitely worth ordering. 5 stars all the way!

    I was in love when we walked in and fell progressively less in love as we ate more of our food…read more Tl;dr - come for drinks, vibes, and simple shit that is good fried. Do not come expecting a solid seafood dinner. We came here after a nearby event. There was live music in the very sizable back lot area. People were actually up and dancing and having a great time. The vibes were stellar. I don't know if I would be into tbis place in the winter if I had to eat inside because the inside is kind of dingey, but outside in the summer is pretty paradisiacal. I did notice that they were doing karaoke in a weird little side room and it did not seem crowded on a Saturday night so that might be worth checking out. Servers were also all super nice. Pretty sure we entered the wrong way and kind of just let ourselves in through the back lot area and then we had no idea where to go to find a host(ess). So we asked the first server we could find where to go and she went "oh I can seat you" and grabbed two menus. Excellent. She also gave us our choice of wherever. The place is huge. Our assigned server was also nice and really knew the menu, which is not small. The menu had a ton of options including some really interesting tofu options and I had a hard time picking so I got excited. Also very customizable where you can choose your preparation. The beer list was not exactly artisinal...a lot of like...michelob ultra. And they had those island slushy kind of drinks. So at first I was like...this is my new weekend hangout. Then our drinks came. They were small and in little plastic cups. Wuhoh. Then our food came. I should have known it wouldn't be fresh. The price wasa little *too* good. When I asked about the catch of the day it was like four different things. I ended up with a buffalo grouper sandwich (grouper was one of the four things). I have had a fresh buffalo grouper sandwich in Clearwater before and that was in 2019 and I still remember it 7 years later. This buffalo grouper sandwich? Oh no. First of all it was this thin, flat battered fried cutlet thing. The breading absorbed the buffalo sauce so I couldn't taste it very much though they did bring me a lot of Bleu cheese dressing. The fish was bad. I bit into it and it tasted fishy and it was dry. Honestly if I hadn't been super hungry I would have just not eaten it. On top of that, I paid an extra dollar to upgrade from fries to hushpuppies. These were legit hushpuppies, but hushpuppies are small and how many did they bring me? 5. Are you kidding? Again, in Florida these are brought free by the basket. They're literally just fried up balls of corn meal. I think that may have offended me more than the bad fish. My husband went witb BBQ pulled chicken and fries and said both were good. So. Here are my thoughts. Would I come here again in the summer for fun vibes and good service? Yes. Would I set low expectations for my food and drink? Yes. Would I probably just order a softdrink and stick to something simple they can't screw up like a quesadilla and fries? Yeeeeeeeah.

But let me back up..... The atmosphere was incredible, sitting outside on rooftop bar in the early summer evening! The service was TOP NOTCH!!! We were a little complicated w questions & unable to make up our minds PLUS I asked them to change my drink a tad & take out all the chocolate, reluctantly he made it and my GOSH it was the BEST espresso martini I've ever EVER had in my life AND it looked the very best too!!! The food.....ALL FOUR of us said it was delicious and the very best we've had!! I only got pictures of my supper and their dessert but it was ALL delicious!!!! I extend my HIGHEST recommendation for you if you're ever remotely close to Washington DC. It's not in DC but worth the drive across the river! We NEVER eat at the same place twice on a trip, but guarantee ya we would be there tomorrow if we weren't going to NYC!!! Stop by Dogwood Tavern & say hello to Ronnie & Haile and the other bartender but didn't catch his name! They were all PHENOMENAL!!!!

    Four stars because they have outdoor seating and a tiny bit of healthy food. You don't go to a…read moreplace like Dogwood Tavern and expect to eat healthy, you go with other folks who enjoy bar food. Had the steak and cheese egg rolls. Came out piping hot, which is wonderful, but the cheese dip tasted spoiled to me. I've had it there before and I think that's just the way they serve it. It was too viscous and I think tasted off. They had a chicken chili. I don't know what made it a chili, but it was a delicious soup. I'm so glad they didn't make it spicy. I don't know why everything has to be spicy these days. Staff was friendly and they do their best at making the environment look nice. Our waiter and subsequent service staff were very good. It looks like they hire local teenagers also--hat's nice.

    This place open until 1AM!!…read more I went around 10PM on a rainy day. The pho soup quality was still super good even though it's almost closing time. The texture of the noodle itself is really soft and a little sticky. That's how I like my noodles. I have not come across this noodle type at other pho. The quality of the beef brisket was so tender and fresh. The soup base is so good you could probably finish drinking all of it. You order at one of the three touchscreen kiosks or with a staff. The waiters are friendly and work fast. Note, you have to clean up on your own. The tables aren't the best tbh but I like the lighting. It's not fancy but it was working for me. The food taste great but you're definitely paying Tyson prices at $20 pho. The smallest, tinest drinks are $5 At night, the parking outside has plenty of spots. I imagine they'd be full during the day. No sweat though. There's a parking garage to the left of the restaurant. Oh and I built my own pho with beef brisket because I didn't like all the ingredients that are in the signature ones.

    The food was delicious. They source all their food from a local organic butcher in McLean -- you…read morecan immediately taste it when you take your first bite! This location is built mostly for take out orders, so the dine in option is limited and small, especially if you have a group larger than 5 or 6. However, easy garage parking that is free. They also have a ton of promotions on Uber Eats so highly recommend you take a look at ordering via that platform.

    Thank you Marco for making our experience so welcoming!…read more You were able to give us recommendations and help us decide what to order from the menu. Even that we were asking for lime, extra sauce, gloves, etc. You were always so patient and attentive. We also enjoy the music! Thank you, we are definitely coming back!

    I am a Hot N Juicy Crawfish loyalist. This location is terrible. I've eaten at the two original Las…read moreVegas locations over 40 times, and the Connecticut Ave (DC) location 5 times. Something is very off with the (lack of) protein quality at the Falls Church location. The head-on shrimp were smallish - some were 21-25 count, some were 26-30 count, and all had an off-putting *green* poop line. The clams were inedible and tiny. Half of the clams were missing from their shells. They shouldn't be sold. When I showed the poor quality of the clams to the server, they offered a 20% discount - clearly they don't get it. What keeps me loyal to the brand is their signature Hot N Juicy Special sauce (mod: extra garlic). No other Viet Cajun (even in Houston or wherever) comes close to the depth and complexity of the Hot N Juicy Special sauce. For now, the winning move is to order a some sausage in a cup with Hot N Juicy Special medium sauce w/extra garlic TO GO, and sautée it with a bag of defrosted Costco head-on 16-20 count shrimp, or a few dozen live Cherrystone clams from HMart. There is so much potential here. The sauce is boss. Solve your protein problem!
