Best Family Style Restaurants in Mount Vernon

We were able to sit out on the patio under 2 space heaters with our party of 10 (family from OOT) - it was great to hear each other and enjoy the wonderful food and service! The hummus (mushroom and lamb) and kebabs are amazing!

Our brunch experience was delightful and Troy made it extra special. He was attentive, cheerful and very thoughtful during our dining experience. The food was delicious and such a great value. The ambiance was vibrant yet sophisticated. Will definitely be back.

We had such a delightful experience at Estuary! We were in DC for business/vacation and wanted to try somewhere special and romantic. We were seated near the corner so had views out both windows of the pretty Christmas lights and the beautiful water feature below. The service was incredible--Lauren took such good care of us! The food was fantastic and it all tasted very fresh. We had the crab cakes and I may be spoiled forever because these were simply outstanding--lots of whole, sweet crab chunks and little if any filler. Loved the green sauce and the tiny veggies it was served with! I had the mushroom risotto and husband had the NY strip steak. Both were delicious. All of the dishes were plated artfully, which enhanced the experience. For dessert we had the chocolate bar which is like a layered mousse and was sweet and decadent while still being light. One thing we noticed--because the kitchen is open, we could see food coming out that wasn't on our menu (burgers and other sandwiches and fries, and I think a large slice of chocolate cake?) Those are for the adjoining lounge menu but I wonder if diners could order those as well? We would absolutely return to Estuary to dine again. Everything about it felt special! Kudos to the chef and all other staff members for such a job well done!

If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience that perfectly blends incredible flavors and a cozy ambiance, look no further than The G.O.A.T Room. The food was nothing short of spectacular. We started with the masala fries, and they were an explosion of flavor, crispy on the outside and coated with just the right amount of spice. I could've drank the tikka dipping sauce through a straw! We also had veggie samosas, tandoori wings, chicken tikka masala, and garlic naan. I want to highlight them all but I'll leave it at everything was exceptional. Highly recommended for anyone who loves bold flavors, excellent service, and a cozy yet chic dining spot!

Tapas were so good. Service so good. Enjoyed our night out with friends.
