Best Restaurants for Anniversaries in McLean

Food was great! Service/logistics were off as we had reservations but ended up getting seating 50 minutes after our reserved time. Didn’t help some of our mains were forgotten as well. Must have been an off night as we’ve been here several times and service is usually on point.

Yet another lovely evening celebrating the holidays at chez Francois! A Christmas tradition in our family; we look forward to it every year and are never disappointed. Indulge in the Christmas specials (the Wellington is to die for), and enjoy the festive and perfect service and atmosphere. 10 out of 10!

Thank you, Ryley and Trio Grill for helping us celebrate our son’s birthday. The food was delicious and the service was beyond excellent.

I had a wonderful experience yesterday evening with a friend at the Capital Grill,in Tysons Corner. The food was excellent. The ingredients were of a high-quality and well prepared. My friend and I started with the calamari with cherry peppers. It was so good that I could easily find myself returning to the restaurant for that alone. The calamari was lightly fried and spiced with the most delicious peppers. The serving size was generous, but not oversized. The filet mignon was cooked just right and impressed us as also being of the highest quality. We also enjoyed very much the side dishes of potatoes, asparagus, and corn which were also carefully prepared and which complemented our filets perfectly. We skipped wine for this meal, but did enjoy their signature cocktails. Although I don’t usually order a restaurant signature drinks, as they are too often gimmicky and overpriced, these were just the opposite. I certainly intend to order them the next time I go to the restaurant. But as good as the food was, the experience was taken to the next level by the superb wait staff and their support team. We were extremely fortunate to be served by Jose G. who really set the bar for how to provide the very best restaurant,service. He was prompt, helpful, genial, and never overbearing. We had the feeling that he was nearby if we needed him for anything, but he was never in any way intrusive. José truly made it a wonderful dining experience for us. I could go on about the beautiful interior design, of the restaurant or how every employee that we interacted with was friendly and eager to be of assistance, but suffice to say this is a restaurant we look forward to returning to in the very near future.

We visit The Melting Pot with our friends every December as a Christmas tradition. This evening our food was outstanding (as always) and the service was excellent. I also received chocolate covered strawberries when we departed.
