Best Casual Restaurants in Annandale

The Falls at any time is one of our family's "happy spots." And, today @ Thanksgiving with its special menu was even more so. The menu choices were varied with a lot of emphasis on vegetables. We ordered the fixed price menu: lobster bisque and the crab croquettes, then the grilled pork chop and the trout, both with fixin's, wrapped up with chocolate flan. Our meals were delicious from start to finish and good value. we had the prosecco and draft Virginia cider which both went well with the food. Service was prompt and helpful, even at this busy time. The bartender gave me excellent advice on a smooth bourbon to finish. We couldn't ask for a better holiday meal - - and no dishes to clean after!

I had thr chicken, the prices are higher then the last time we went, a few years ago. The chicken was fine, but I should have gotten the trout. Creme Brûlée was not freshly torched, right out of the refrigerator.......ok not great, better when warmed up a little.

Great place, great location, great food & superb service! The only negative is that it’s a spec building so the acoustics are HORRIBLE! The super high open ceiling without any sound insulation makes it super loud. The one in Annapolis (Parole Town Center) doesn’t suffer from this poor acoustics problem. Delightful dinner experience - just needs sound work 😃

The food is good food. The service is good service! But it is very noisy.

We luckily picked a slow time, 6:00 PM on Wednesday. Service was prompt and courteous. Everything came on time and as requested. My chicken Milanese was done to perfection. The garlic bread was fresh and just toasted. My wife’s gnocchi with mushrooms was incredible. My picky teenage daughter ate every bit of her spaghetti and even the meatballs. Our guest ate all his spaghetti and chicken. Everything was made from scratch; nothing tasted premade.
