Delicious place! And perfectly positioned in the Reston Town Center. I highly recommend you go for a wonderful meal with fantastic service. The food was astounding and our waiter was very attentive. Can't wait to host an upcoming event here!

I visited late morning on Easter Sunday hoping to enjoy a satisfying brunch. After settling at the bar, I figured I would take a sampling of a few dishes: “Gin-ger cider mule” drink, eggs Benedict with smoked salmon, steak sandwich with fries, a special shared by the bar as ham steak, potatoes, and asparagus, and French toast to finish. The positives for the food were fewer than the not-so-positives unfortunately. The salmon portion was generous and tasty, the sandwich baguette had the proper crisp exterior and chewy interior, and the steak was well cooked and tender. The French toast was a highlight, cooked well and sauced with blueberries well so I did not need the traditional syrup. On the other hand, the mule was heavy on gin that I could not taste much more than gin and served in a chipped copper cup that had seen better days. The eggs were mostly over cooked so yolks were not runny as they should be for that dish. Potatoes needed more seasoning. Fries came cold the first time and slightly warmer the next time. The sandwich had a thin layer of meat and more bread and a stray arugula garnish oddly placed on top of the sandwich. This garnish also appeared in the same manner on the special which was light on ham (not really a ham steak as cut and presented) and much too heavy on mashed potatoes. Service throughout was professional snd reasonably attentive, and the bar area looked clean overall. The value lacked significantly for me, as I felt a bill a third less would have been more appropriate (especially for the special which I learned cost $30 — a reminder for me to ask prices before assuming). I would not return, as out of over 50 reviews of places to eat this one easily and sadly ranks in the bottom 10%.

The food was not at all meeting the expectation. Pate was a big disappointment, it doesn’t have the texture and taste that it should have and it accompany with weird jam that it taste doesn’t go together with pate at all. The steak with peppercorn (Steak Au Poivre) was another big disappointment, even though I enjoy salty food but this one was too much and the peppercorn sauce was just another weird sauce with black pepper, it wasn’t even a proper peppercorn, I was shock. Our waiter wasn’t doing good job but service got rescued by the manager, who I appreciated so much and for that reason I will come back for a drink. Overall, the atmosphere was comfortable, the background music goes along the vibe if they make adjustment to food and service, I will give more stars in the future.

Loved it...great atmosphere...had a private section and we were well taken care of. Waiters were on top of it, the food was delicious, and the bartenders were certainly mixologists. Located in a great location...parking garage near if you cant find street parking. Won't be my last time here. Definitely worth checking out.

Do you have happy hour Saturday,and,Sunday?and what time?

No happy hour on the weekends just the BEST brunch in town. They have a Make Your Own Bloody Mary Bar that's out of this world with toppings like Pepper Bacon and Bleu cheese Stuffed Olives. They have the usual brunch staples (my fave is the Nutella Waffles) but the head Chef always has a special breakfast dish for the day. I believe Brunch lasts until 3 or 330pm Saturdays and Sundays.

What are the Covid safety practices like here?

It's hard enough for restaurants to survive with all those "Covid Safety Practices", as you call it. If you're that scared, stay home and cook your own meal.

What's the dress code like here? Fancy Jean's Casual?

That's about right. I would feel underdressed in shorts/t-shirt - but we ate at the outside tables this summer in Chino shorts and a collared golf shirt.

We have been there many times with our two kids and a stroller and have not had any issues. They were very accommodating.
