Best Restaurants for Birthdays in South Riding

Everything was great EXCEPT the music was way toooo loud. We asked if it could be turned down and they did lower it a bit but said that “corporate” required them to play it that loud.

Long time lover of this restaurant. We now live in San Diego, and every time we visit our families in Virginia we dine here. Daniel was outstanding and fun to talk with. I always get the crispy flounder which is exotic and super flavorful. It is a whole fish which you will have to navigate, but so worth it. Get the sauced on the side so you can control the heat. The oysters were delicious last night too. Save room for the key lime pie. Only minor suggestion is to serve the after drinks before the dessert. We will see you again on our next trip East.

We have been royal customers since its launch, regularly going over the weekend. Yesterday we had lunch at 6:15 and it was busy. Food was good as usual and we ordered our usual ceviche sampler and loved it. We tried out two new dishes: seasonal seafood soup and sirloin on linguine, both well done and yummy. The new waiter forgot to put in one of the three entrees and it didn’t come till after the other two entrees were consumed. We were put off a little bit but didn’t complain. But the store manager came on her own and apologized and explained the waitress was new and she waived the charge for the delayed entree, which was a very nice gesture. We highly recommend this place for the delicious food and superb service.

The food here is always very good. The service is hit or miss. Last night we had a wonderful server. It would be nice if they could keep that consistent here. 

Amazing food, great service & awesome wine pairing! Thank you, Anthony, for the wine recommendation!! Manager Jason is a great guy too! Don’t think. Just go to North Italia & have a great time!!
