The food is mediocre- some dishes are just good- for those prices they should be very good. It's a loud place and service is poor- if not horrible. Management is just as bad. It seems to have potetial- but under new management- and new chef.

It is great to see fine dining establishments return to downtown Vienna after flights to traffic-ridden Tysons. His location comes within walking distance for many, worth a long drive let a alone a springtime stroll. As for all Vienna establishments on Friday or Saturday night definitely have reservations. The food, decor and service may lead to filling up on other nights -- it is that good.High quality food at a variety of prices with choices of American, continental and seafood dishes. Although he has featured dishes at French Culinary Institute gala events the less adventurous can feel secure they will find something of pleasure on their plate. The Iowa Pork Chop is formidable as are the crispy oysters like a Rockefeller. Even the sauces are memorable by themselves - no bread goes wasted. The atmosphere is elegant and causal at the same time ? service is warm and friendly.Come see for yourself is all I can say! Dishes change from time to time and sensible pricing too!

What a lovely restaurant. The food is exceptional, the owners are incredibly friendly and the atmosphere is refined and relaxing. Highly recommend!
