Best Restaurants with a Vibrant Bar Scene in Fairfax

Great place to eat with kids, our waiter was very attentive and paid special attention to joking around with our kids.

We had a lovely lunch with excellent service by Kinsey and others.

A wonderful place to go with a group to experience as many of the tasty dishes as you can. Sadly, I was solo, but treated so well I felt like a queen. But you can only eat so much!! I would have liked to try it all, but the tasting menu option was still too much for one person. Highly recommend the eggplant - deep fired puffs of eggplant heaven with Garni of apricots and candied walnuts and yogurt. YUM!

My family of 4 (two kids 14 and 12) and 3 good friends ate at Texas de Brazil in Fair Oaks mall last night. There were 7 of us total in our party 5 adults and 2 kids. The kids were charged the adult price. The service was great, and the food was great! However, our server attempted to up charge is at every angle, and didn't mention the additional costs. We ordered desserts with the meal. When going to a different Brazilian steakhouse in the area, desserts were included. The additional cost was NEVER mentioned to our group. Also, my daughter got a chocolate cake for dessert, and the server asked if she would like ice cream with that. $2 extra! Never mentioned that to us until we received the bill. My friend who went with us only ate the salad bar, and we had to get our bill fixed because she was charged a regular dinner. Overall, the servers were very attentive, but wished that they'd been upfront with us on the cost. For our family of 4, our dinner was over $350!!! We definitely did not eat enough food for that amount.

We had a great time. Food and service were excellent!
