Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Merrifield

Our waiter was PHENOMENAL! He anticipated needs and offered excellent service.

great food, healthy food, very well presented, highly recommended!

An inviting space with fewer than a dozen tables; two tops and four tops. Several tables have wonderful views of the kitchen, which dominates the L shaped room. Excellent cocktails. The dishes come out very nicely paced with no feeling that you're being rushed, indeed, few tables turned over during our several-hour meal. Dishes are artworks with flavors just as gorgeous and that are explained in detail. I think it's great that chefs (and they're all chefs, no 'line cooks') often present their dishes and love talking about them. Service at 22% is automatically added, which is fine by me. What wasn't fine by me is being taxed on the tip as well as food and wine. The menu you are given when you leave is too light on details, in my opinion. A wonderful, if not inexpensive, experience, the value of which I remain uncertain.

Haven’t been in a few years until recently for a friend’s birthday dinner. I was instantly reminded how great Clarity is. My whole party agreed that the food is amazing. I specifically loved the shrimp and salmon. We all appreciated the sleek ambience and the staff is exceptionally attentive. I’ll definitely be attending the restaurant on a more consistent basis to share the experience with more loved ones.

Had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious and the service was great. We sat at the counter and were able to watch the chef make everything. Since we went on a Monday, wine was market price, so we enjoyed the salmon special and pork chop with a bottle of wine. Too bad they're closing the restaurant portion, because we would definitely go back. Looking forward to taking some cooking classes there though!
