Best Fun Restaurants in Merrifield

Rashad’s service was amazing! He has a welcoming personality, knew the menu, and offered great suggestions. Through his recommendations we had the espresso martini, lobster, shrimp, crab stuffed tortellini, the garlic bread. Everything was amazing and we would love to the Valentine’s Day pasta on the full menu, it was all we could talk about that night. Thank you for a delicious experience!

Palette 22 is now our go-to restaurant. Each dish is well-prepared, flavorful, and represents the country of origin. The service is always polite and responsive. Tip: you can order a few dishes at a time. You do not need to place your entire order at one time. This allows you to enjoy each dish more slowly. We like taking turns ordering 2 items at a time. From last night, my top picks were the Sesane Steak, Lebanese Tacos, and the Funghi Flat Bread.

We had an amazing evening. The food was amazing. Thank you to Fernando, who made the night unforgettable. His attention to detail and warm hospitality made us feel like we were the only people in the restaurant. He anticipated our needs, made thoughtful recommendations, and added a personal touch that elevated the entire evening. It’s rare to find such genuine service these days, and Fernando truly made us feel at home. We can’t wait to return! Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food and an even better experience.

Hands down the best Italian restaurant in all of the DMV (DC, Maryland, and Virginia)!!! The food is so amazing and so many menu options to include numerous daily specials. The waitstaff and the owners always make each our visits extra special. Claros is our go to server and he never disappoints with top notch customer service!

we had an afternoon date experiencing the Coffee flights. It was great. Service is great. The experience was great. It was awesome to try new ways of experiencing coffee.
