Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Lorton

Outstanding French cuisine at a price commensurate with the quality and portion size of the food. Our reservation allowed us to be seated immediately, the service was superb (we have a favorite waiter), the meal was unhurried and delightful. This is a first class restaurant. Do not expect to be rushed while dining nor for the cost of excellence to be cheap. A great place for a special evening.

Filomena has always been our go-to restaurant, and it never fails to exceed our expectations. The moment you step inside, you’re greeted with a warm, inviting ambiance that sets the tone for an incredible dining experience. The food, as always, was absolutely delicious—each dish crafted with care and bursting with flavor. What truly elevated our evening was the outstanding service we received from Nebil. His professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine friendliness made us feel truly valued as guests. Nebil anticipated our needs effortlessly, provided thoughtful recommendations, and ensured everything was perfect from start to finish. It’s rare to encounter such exceptional service, and it made an already great meal even more memorable. Filomena, once again, proved why it remains our favorite dining spot!

Zaytinya is one of my go to places to take friends, family, and out of town people because the food is great and the price is great! Our waitress took a while to take our order but the food came out fast and the drinks were great!

Nothing short of exceptional. It's a small space that has comfortable seating and attentive wait staff. The menu has so many choices and I hope to eat my way through most of it. The food & beverages are full of warm, melt in your mouth, flavors.

Our server was kind, professional and had a great knowledge of the menu. She was very quick to attend to us and make our team feel comfortable. Would recommend her and this restaurant any day to anyone.
