Best Seasonal Restaurants in Fairfax

Very good food and good wine list. Friendly, attentive and efficient service. Comfortable ambience.

This was our first visit. We started with the four gras and the beet salad, both delicious. We had the lamb for two, prepared with Meyer lemon. It was perfectly balanced, the lemon added to the dish instead of overpowering it and the meat was a perfect medium rare. The staff was attentive and friendly, especially the bartender. We would like to go back on a night when they have their tasting menu available. The only thing that was off was that it was very smoky. I think one of their exhaust fans is broken.

Amazing Experience at Texas de Brazil! Texas de Brazil is hands down one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a perfect blend of upscale elegance and a relaxed, welcoming vibe. The service is top-notch—attentive, friendly, and always making sure you have everything you need. And the food? Absolutely incredible! The salad bar is fresh, diverse, and packed with delicious options, but the real star of the show is the endless parade of perfectly seasoned, expertly grilled meats. Each cut is juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Whether you love filet mignon, lamb chops, picanha, or Brazilian sausages, there’s something for everyone. The experience feels indulgent yet refined, making it perfect for special occasions, date nights, or simply treating yourself to a fantastic meal. If you’re a fan of quality meats and exceptional service, Texas de Brazil is a must-visit. Can’t wait to go back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Our food was delicious, fresh, generous portions. We had roasted half chicken and avocado toast. We both asked for substitutions/add-ons which were accommodated. I was offered an alternative add-on because the one I initially requested was seasonal. Drinks and desserts were also good regarding taste and serving size. Our waiter was very pleasant and regularly checked on us without being intrusive. The manager also stopped by our table and other customers to check that everything was ok. It’s a diner, so noise levels are what one might expect, but we could easily converse without raising our voices. It has a retro diner vibe with posters/photos/vinyl of iconic performers at Carnegie Hall (original diner in New York is near the concert hall). It’s becoming a favorite neighborhood spot so it’s always busy and the one negative is that parking in this popular local shopping center is relatively limited so it can be hard to find a space during peak hours.

Always an excellent meal to be had at Our Mom Eugenia! Last night I had the mussels, shrimp and calamari over orzo with a tomato Ouzo sauce - awesome!
