Best Historic Restaurants in Clifton

Food was good and so was the overall ambiance, it was just a but cold and loud.

The atmosphere was very good, food is very tasty, pleasant to spend time for any occasions. Definitely hight rated!

Took my dad here for his 80th birthday. The restaurant is lovely and staff were incredibly nice and attentive. Our waiter was so kind and patient with my dad who is a bit high maintenance. We started with the oysters Rockefeller, pork belly and salads, which were all very good. Waiter kept bringing me rosé instead of vinho verde which was not a big deal. I had the veal scallopini, which I found a bit chewy and greasy for my taste. The gnocchi served with it however, was delicious. My husband had the vieras del minho which was good, but a little bland. My dad didn’t like his mahi mahi, but the staff was very accommodating in getting him another piece of fish that was more to his liking. I should have left more room as the dessert menu is extensive. My dad had the chocolate brownie which he said was excellent.

A long time lovely gem in Fairfax City. We’ve been going there for years.

This was my first visit here and I chose it because of its gluten free options, which they had more than average. Everything we ordered was delicious. The fire shrimp appetizer, the lobster bisque, the lamb chops, the crab cakes, the potatoes au gratin, and the star, the flourless chocolate cake. I didn’t have high expectations but was pleasantly blown away and I can’t wait to come back here the next time I am in town. The service was a little spotty and slow but like I said, I’ll be back and can’t wait to try more gf items! What a gem in the middle of Fairfax!
