Best Restaurants for Foodies in McLean

This was our first visit. We started with the four gras and the beet salad, both delicious. We had the lamb for two, prepared with Meyer lemon. It was perfectly balanced, the lemon added to the dish instead of overpowering it and the meat was a perfect medium rare. The staff was attentive and friendly, especially the bartender. We would like to go back on a night when they have their tasting menu available. The only thing that was off was that it was very smoky. I think one of their exhaust fans is broken.

Had the best time celebrating Valentine’s Day here. Everything was delicious. Steak cooked perfectly and the halibut was the best I’ve ever tasted.

We really enjoyed our Valentine’s dinner at the restaurant. From the appetizer to the desert, the meal was excellent. The service was a little slow at times but it was packed with people!

Claudio's Table is an Italian restaurant in the Palisades neighborhood of Washington, DC at 5441 MacArthur Blvd. It is owned by the fantastic Chef Claudio Pirollo, who also owns the French-Belgian bistro Et Voila. Claudio's Table serves great Italian cuisine, including pasta, meat, fish and pizza. I have eaten almost everything on the menu and love it all. The restaurant also has a great wine list and cocktails. Claudio's is known for its lively and cozy atmosphere. It is a very popular spot for lunch and dinner. We like sitting at the bar where you get to talk with patrons from the neighborhood and get fantastic service. Additionally at the bar, you can catch a glimpse of Chefs Claudio and Stephane preparing exquisite dishes. The staff provides excellent service with charm. The food is delicious! Claudio's is a neighborhood gem! Patrick

Awesome experience at lunch today! Food was fresh, tasted great and they worked with my dietary constraints. Server Dominick was outstanding. Room music was pleasant but not so loud as to drown out conversations. The only thing I'd suggest if they would please calculate the carbs in each, (or a few) of the selections, it'd make it easier for diabetics to eat there.
