                          Amazing experience indeed. A variety of mocktail choices and the food was delicious. Food options galore with many of my favorites. The staff was extremely patient with our zillion questions. Definitely a special occasion pick.

                          Very unassuming from the outside. Magical inside. Mid-century with rich colors and lush texture. Feels like a secret garden. Beautifully created menu, meaning both the food options and the visual appeal of the menu font and icons. Small bite, entree, dessert and cocktails were delicious! Waitress was attentive and offered a perfect balance of service and distance to enjoy food and conversation in between plates. I really liked that when the entrees were presented we were given a quick overview of the ingredient combinations. For the record I had the Tamarind Margarita, small bite “nuggets”, curried risotto entree and yucca cake dessert. Probably a top 5 meal for me ;) I will be back.

                          This is a restaurant that cares and values guest experience/feedback. Think there might have been a few new menu items which we ended up ordering unknowingly, and managers/servers asked our opinion on them which was nice. They took the feedback extremely well. The ambiance of the restaurant is great too. Quaint and vibrant. I love me a limited menu since I see it as the chefs being able to focus more on flavor and quality which they definitely hit the mark. We went for a special occasion and our server recognized that with a lovely card (seriously, the card and the envelope were great quality) with a quick hand written note. Would I go again? Absolutely.

                          My husband and I went to dinner at Nue on Father's Day. The summer menu at Nue was delicious with a Capital D. The ambience was great. The service staff was attentive and had great drink recommendations. The management staff stopped by to see how we were doing a couple of times. Our family definitely recommend checking out this hot spot in Falls Church. It won't disappoint!

                          This restaurant is incredible on every level. The food is very high quality, the decor is lovely and calming, and the staff is always above and beyond nice. It's a go-to for me to take friends who visit or for special occasions. It's not cheap, but high-quality seafood and immaculate cooking techniques aren't cheap. Here, it's well worth the money.

                          Rarely do I leave a review without at least one constructive comment — but not this time. Our dining experience was just perfect, and that’s not easy to come by these days. Succulent food, beautifully presented, and service that truly stood out — thanks to Jeff, who was attentive, personable, and impressively knowledgeable. Yes, it’s a bit on the pricey side, but absolutely worth every bite.
