    Food was amazing. Loved the different rolls and the sashimi but my favorite were the oysters. Everything was fresh and tasty and our server was great. You get a view from the 11th floor.

    Happy hour is still pricey. Why get a non alcoholic drink if it's only a few dollars less than with alcohol? It's also all canned lychee juice products. At least they've increased the portion size. Especially if the fried chicken.

    We came here for a date night, and overall it was a really enjoyable experience. The service was exceptional--attentive without being intrusive--and the ambiance felt elevated, making it a great setting for a night out. The food and drinks were both good, with everything well-prepared and satisfying. That said, nothing quite stood out as unforgettable. It was a solid meal, but not one that felt especially unique compared to similar restaurants. Without a standout dish, it's hard to rank it higher--but still a great choice for a polished, easy evening.

    The awesome staff signed a card and brought us a rosé toast for our anniversary; amazing hospitality!

    Love this place! Celebrated my anniversary with my husband here on a weeknight. Service was awesome and we loved our server Aisha. The decor is sexy and sheek. Every single dish we ordered had such amazing flavor and the texture is perfect. I expected to spend much more but the price is great for the experience and the incredible food. I can't wait to come back!

    A dining experience to remember... if you have a special day to celebrate with your loved one or close friend. The dining experience and the omakase experience will be very different. I'll speak to the omakase experience. Right off the back, you get led into a special elevator into the workout room. Found it strange that there is no one working out... then you're led into the sauna room... the speakeasy entrance to a whole new world. The chef is thoughtful and attentive to every detail and what is fresh and especially the temperature and texture/firmness of the sushi rice. Every bite offered is beautifully created and the wasabi is ground right before your eyes. But you. Expect that at this level of sushi. The attention to detail and even the sake pairings offered by the waiter is spot on. The crisp, fruity, refreshing sake pairs perfectly with the umami and subtly sweet bite of every course. You must take a bite of ginger and cleanse your palate with sparkling water before your next course. If you have an anniversary or a birthday celebration with a loved one, come to one of the best experiences you'll have in the NOVA area.

    Interesting Asian spot in a hotel, cool vibes but also could be a work dinner spot. Needed a reservation to get a table so sat at the bar. Fried chicken had a nice kick and crunch. Sushi was small portions and pricey but tasted super fresh. Some very special ingredients that elevate cocktails I've never seen before.

    Came here with a couple friends, I had the wagyu burger and it was excellent, the bread had a perfect crunch/texture and the meat was cooked perfectly. I enjoyed the fries immensely :) their cocktails were also delicious l. We sat at the bar so service was quick and everyone was very attentive and friendly. Nice views as well.

    Quite an impressive space with lounge area and very expansive dining area. The menu was not as extensive as it could be and the selection was tasty. I just wished there were more to the menu and a larger print menu. The drinks were half the menu and the large bar area definitely was very busy as the night went on. The Omakase dinner is on a different floor and only available during certain times. We chose the Izakaya hand picked menu which is chosen by the chef and changes daily. The choices were really good and the portions were enough. We enjoyed not having to pick and choose and loved the surprise element of this. We enjoyed the evening and liked the vibe of the dinning area, especially the views.

    During winter restaurant week, I tried the $55 option, which consisted of 4 courses. Complimentary: edamame Starter 1 : Hamachi crudo was 7/10. The radish and pickled onion didn't add anything to the dish. I also didn't get any of the jalapeño flavor in the soy sauce. Starter 2: Tokyo Chicken was 10/10. There was so much food. Chicken was well cooked and not dry. The sauce was coated evenly and was sweet and rich. Main: Akebono roll was 8/10. I liked the torched salmon, but the sauce on the top didn't come through for me. Bonus Main: I tried my friend's wagyu burger, which we just couldn't tell if the meat was American or Japanese wagyu meat. But it was still juicy and tender Desserts: Bloody Mary was 10/10. The bitterness in the citrus was light and the texture of the ice cream was creamy. Date & Fig Sticky Toffee Pudding was 2/10. There were too many flavors going on. It was too sweet that I was drowning myself with water Service: Loved that they explained the menu in detail and kept checking i when we would like the next course. However, we had to request for more water couple of times & the Wagyu burger took a long time to come out. We did receive an apologize for that.q

    Ambiance: beautiful modern vibes. Japan inspired foods and drinks Service: host/hostess greets you before you enter the bar/dining area. Our waiter was excellent and was attentive without being pushy. Food: we only had drinks before heading up to the Naisho room for another reservation. This is an upscale dining/bar experience. With that comes the price - it's up there so be prepared to pay a little premium. You pay for the ambiance and the vibe as well. I think the cocktails are decent but not outstanding. I would like more creativity to an Old Fashioned if I'm paying $23 a glass that looks 1/2 full even when it's neat...I know they can do it but would like to see a little more and I'll end coming here rather than hop next door to another bar.

    This spot is a hidden gem located on the rooftop of Wegman's in Tyson's corner. You have to enter through the door labeled "The Perch" to gain access to the rooftop. Great for socializing after work. The atmosphere is relaxing and the ambiance is beautiful, they have a pool table available for use, and a few other games if I'm not mistaken. Drinks were cute, tasty as well. I didn't get any food, only drinks The bartenders were professional and very knowledgeable.. I believe it may be connected to a hotel, however I entered through the rooftop.

    Had a really enjoyable night at Wren in Tysons. We did the omakase, which takes place inside their speakeasy that is accessed through a sauna in the fitness center. It gave the evening a low-key, secretive vibe that was fun without being over the top. The bar setup was relaxed and set the right tone for the meal. The sushi leaned traditional: clean cuts, minimal garnishes, and really fresh fish. Favorites for me were the shima aji and kin madai, but everything was solid across the board. After the omakase, we ordered temaki, which came with a film to keep the nori crisp until you ate it. That little detail gave me some nostalgic Tokyo conbini onigiri vibes. It's the kind of thing you don't think about until you experience it and realize how much it helps. Dessert was a pleasant surprise: the hojicha pudding with genmaicha tea was simple but hit the mark, especially if you're a green tea fan. We weren't quite done after dessert, so we ordered a few more things off the speakeasy menu. The Yo San mocktail was especially good, not overly sweet and had complexity to it. Also appreciated that the staff offered top-offs of pairings we liked, which was a nice, low-key touch. Overall, it was a well-executed, chill experience with good food, thoughtful details, and a setting that made the night feel a little different in a good way. The staff was very friendly and helpful taking time to clearly explain every dish and answer any questions you may have about it.

    I came here to celebrate my birthday, and unfortunately it was a very disappointing experience. Our server was rude, passive-aggressive, and inattentive throughout the night. We tried to give her the benefit of the doubt and assumed she was just having a bad night, but the service never improved. We were also overcharged on our bill, which only added to the frustration. The most upsetting part was how my birthday cake was handled. I brought my own cake that I had already purchased myself, yet I was charged $40 just for the restaurant to cut it. I even told them I wanted to cut my own birthday cake, but they refused. They said the cake-cutting fee included soft serve for everyone with dessert, but when it came time to serve it, we didn't receive what was promised. We had to go back and forth with management just to receive half of the soft serve they originally said would be included. Overall, this was not the birthday experience I expected. Between the poor service, the billing issues, and the way my birthday celebration was handled, I left feeling disappointed. I hope management addresses these issues so future guests don't have the same experience.

    Cocktails: Singing in the rain (which is like lychee martini) and Tokyo Girl (which is like lavender gin fizz). 10/10

    I usually am enamored with speakeasies, but it was really hard to love this one…read more 1. Reservations - I've been with OpenTable and other restaurant online booking systems for decades but this is a first for me. They have two separate OpenTable listings (as noted in other reviews). I was clear in that i just wanted an after work chill happy hour. I booked for 4:30. After promptly showing up at the wren for my 4:30 appointment I was told, Naisho room doesn't open until 5 pm.... So why did you let me book for 4:30?!?! No explanation. No apology just "you're early..." 2. I promptly dropped $70 for drinks and an appetizer at the Wren bar to hold me and my guests over. It wasn't bad but that's not what I was hoping for... at 4:30. 3. The service to the speakeasy was great. The "gym stag" had our 4:30 and let us in at... 5:03 pm... 4. The waitress inside the speakeasy was super awkward and off putting. She really needs a class on etiquette. I ordered quite a bit right off the bat but my guests slow roll throughout the experience and she didn't seem too happy with that. Taking away our menus doesn't encourage us to order either. You charge $22 for one tea sandwhich but can't afford to print out more menus? The menus were also pretty dingy and I hand sanitized after using them. 5. Food. Was mid at best. Not at all authentic Japanese. I had the oyster shooter, temaki, Wagyu toast, Wagyu quesadilla, and mocktail. The oyster shooter was too sweet. And you could only taste the oyster and caviar at the end. Mostly as an aftertaste. There was a "too sweet" aspect to most of the food. The temaki was okay and I liked the crunchy bits but they went too far with the plastic wrap on the seaweed. The plastic wrap gave me Japanese 7-11 onigiri vibes. You do that if you aren't efficient enough to get the food out to guests at once and the seaweed will get soggy. I'm not sure if it was for a "fun factor" for people who are unfamiliar with grocery store onigiri in Asia but in a restaurant it should be done for you. The Wagyu toast was a HUGE disappointment. It was Sooooo sweet. I filet barely taste anything except the gross, sweet jam. And the toast was soggy and the texture of the bread felt prepared the day before and like refrigerator. It was not toasted at all. The star was the Wagyu quesadilla with beef tendon chips. It was the cheapest item on the menu and the most filling and delicious. 6. Drinks were very good. Expect about $20 a pop... $50 for the Japanese whiskey is highway robbery. Nothing really "rare." I have most bottles on the kitchen counter from the Virginia ABc or DC Costco. You can buy an entire bottle of the Japanese whiskey at Costco for the cost of one serving here. Overall, the Naisho room felt like all hype. For over $100 I was still pretty hungry. If the food tasted good I would have ordered more but I didn't think it was worth it. You get a nice view but it's the same from most of the capital one building. Same view from the brewery. Don't waste your money. Go elsewhere. Plenty of better happy hour spots for much much less considering if you stay for more than two hours you have to pay for parking (we did becuase, well, our reservation was at 4:30...)

There wasn't even enough information on what all was to be offered, nor what entree selection there would be. I reached out via social media to ask but never got a response.

The place is clean, modern, has clean bathroom which is always a plus. Negative is the parking situation, which is common in that area. The chair's were the most uncomfortable I've ever sat in. The back support is so low, when you lean back to feels like its going to snap your spine in half. I couldn't even lean back as a result. As for the food, it was mediocre at best. Definitely not worth anywhere near the $95 price tag. I don't eat fried foods, which made up most of the starters. The rolls were underwhelming, the nigiri was decent but there was only 4 options, shrimp, salmon, tuna, yellow tail. How many of those can you keep eating before it gets boring. The oyster's were very good. The wagyu dumpling I didn't eat due to being fried but they super gimmicky. One of those instagram foods that looks good on camera but doesn't deliver. Those who did eat them said they were not good. I couldn't wrap my head around how small the main entree portions were. It was like 1 big bite or 2 small bites. The positive was they kept refreshing all the food keeping it fresh. End of the day, I walked out unsatisfied, feeling like I got ripped off.

I stopped in for a…read moremid-morning weekday breakfast and ordered the veggie egg scramble with toast and potatoes, alongside an oat milk vanilla latte. While a scramble sounds simple on paper, it is easy to overcook the vegetables. This one was executed perfectly, with every vegetable done just right. The thin-sliced potatoes were highly seasoned and stood out, moving away from the standard, heavy breakfast spuds you get at most places. The presentation across the board was excellent. The latte arrived with a nice touch--a small side cookie and a club soda to cleanse the palate, which shows a level of intentionality you don't always find. The staff members were incredibly friendly and gracious from start to finish. With fast Wi-Fi and a comfortable environment, it is an ideal spot to get some quality laptop time. It's a great addition to the local lineup.

We were told we could sit at the bar or outside, but when we asked for one of the open tables, we were denied because they were "reserved for parties of three." That just doesn't make sense. We're still paying customers, ready to order food and drinks. Denying service like that--especially with empty tables in plain sight--feels unnecessary and rigid. I even asked twice, hoping for a little flexibility, but the answer didn't change. I work in the service industry, and this is exactly the kind of situation where you make an exception or use some common sense. Instead, it felt like policy over hospitality. Really disappointing experience for a place I was excited to try.

The professional kitchen was a clean and roomy enough environment for eight people plus a chef to whip together a fun communal dinner. We look forward to taking other classes soon

I was impressed by the size, cleanliness and functional layout of the community center. There was convenient & easy parking and a large lobby area that draws you back towards diverging hallways with a series of large adjacent rooms for holding community activities and events. For the 2023 Chocolate Festival there was a whole hallway of rooms where the vendors were displaying their delicious chocolate candies & treats that they had for sale! It was a very organized event. All purchases being made with tickets that you bought from the cashiers at a long table in the lobby just around the corner of the hallway. Down the other hallway was a special room set up as a children's game room with arts & crafts and Legos for the kids to build with. My grandchildren loved it! There were benches for relaxing on conveniently placed by the bathrooms. We sat there and shared some of the chocolate treats that we bought! That same day a flute quartet was providing music for the visitors. This was a super fun event. I would gladly return to this venue for other family themed activities. The spirit of volunteerism was also clear for all to see from the high school students in the game room and the adults selling the food and raffle tickets! until next time be kind to each other. #mccleancommunitycenter #familyfun #mccleanchocolatefestival
