    Coming in DC from another state , we wanted to gather somewhere to eat and gather together on my Birthday week with our family. We were told that it was 90’s - 2000’s music. At first we were a little hesitant concerning the younger crowd, but our Server gave us one of the best experiences that made us have our own personal party within The Party. She was phenomenally Great. I can’t recall her name but she was Beautiful with top notch service.

    This used to be one of our favorite restaurants when they had one in Lansdowne … now we schlep to Reston maybe once every 2 months. We practically had the whole place to ourselves 6pm on a Monday … which is a little concerning. No one likes to see that. The food was very good - we had the $50 for 2 special - and the service from Evan was excellent. We did find the food a little over salted, and when we asked for the bread to be warmed up it came back to us hard as a rock (that was new). Almost all of the prices are much higher than we remembered. And the really bad news - We drank Arnold Palmers, which at $5.95 made us feel like we won’t be back for a while (iced tea is only $3.95)
