AWESOME! I lost track of them when they moved away from Clarendon and just found their new location a few months ago. I grew up on the Gulf Coast of FL and these true Floridians know how to create the…

Man i really dig this place! First of all, it totally feels like a place you would wander in to at the beach in your cover up and flip flops, still trailing sand and half sun stroked from too long on…

I was surprised to find this place next to State Theater in Falls Church, but its laid back vibe is a welcome addition to the historical community. The decor is festive and the waitresses friendly.…

...was alright. Friendly, helpful staff. Good beer selection, cold drafts. Food was forgettable: the home-made guac was small and bland. The chips that came with it were cheap and fragile. The…

I'm still looking for amazing fish and chips within a 15-minute radius of me. Clare and Don's was 3rd on my list. But while they were pretty good, I'm still on the prowl for great fish and chips.…

This place has moved to Falls Church, right near Argia's (on Washington St., I believe). They are a seafood restaurant primarily, but they have a surprisingly nice veggie menu! There are even a few…

Good draft system. The food was forgettable. Lump of cream cheese and over-toasted bread @6.50 was sent back but billed for, the grilled tuna was cooked "med-rare" to a level of dryness that is…
