    Fairfax Capital Grille never disappoints. Remarkable service. Shayla was outstanding. Every employee in the restaurant is sincerely happy and friendly. The food was excellent. Filet was cooked as ordered with a porcini rub that didn’t overwhelm the meat. The lobster and crab cakes app was practically a meal - delicious. Wine list is fabulous and the wine is served at the perfect temperature, and isn’t priced outrageously like a lot of other high end restaurants.

    We went for Father’s Day and had a wonderful time. The food was top notch and we left very full. The service was supreme. We highly recommend this restaurant and will be back.

    Arrived and seated on time. Great cocktails and very tasty salads and entrees. Our server was overly chatty but personable. They remembered my wife’s birthday with a special desert. Overall, a great celebration.
