Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Rosslyn

Our party of four arrived a bit early for our mid-day seating after the White House Christmas tour and were seated immediately. Our waiter, Raoul, went above and beyond getting my grandson some off the menu chocolate milk. His hamburger and our meals were served in timely fashion and the young one declared it the best hamburger ever.

As usual, the service was phenomenal and the food was perfect. An excellent anniversary dinner in a great atmosphere! Filomena continues to be one of my favorite spots for a special occasion

Mele rivals all top rated restaurants. Small plate of trout and asparagus featured perfectly cooked items with delicious, delicate, savory, light and creamy sauce with ginger on the side. My husband’s steak was superb and our first-time-at-Mele guests were delighted with their four cheese ravioli, with special kudos to the spinach on top. Carlos is a lovely, skilled waiter, our long time favorite. Mele wins the prize.

Expansive menu, reasonable prices, amazing food and service! The freshness could be tasted in every item we ordered. House-made biscuits with a toasty twist, crispy fried chicken served with white gravy on waffles, pork chop and mashed potatoes, with a selected side of roasted brussel sprouts, and finally a generous slice of coconut cream pie for dessert. The entrees passing by our table looked just as amazingly delicious. Highly recommend!

Reuniting with a former colleague, I felt satisfied that the menu (gluten-free, etc.) would please her—and it did. The thoughtful wait staff members were attentive but not hovering. We both enjoyed the soups and salads and even lingered over cups of cappuccino. The week prior, I enjoyed a similar experience with another out of town friend. Well done!
