- SSaraWashington, D.C. Area •16 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoWe had a really lovely experience dining outside. While the food wasn't perfect, our waiter, Sheriff, was. He was very attentive, but not overly attentive, extremely personable and a lot of fun to talk to. We had beers and a mule cocktail ...the latter being very nice, albeit a bit expensive, as was the wine. Two of us ordered the flatiron steak...very nice, one ordered the salmon entree and one ordered the Mediterranean salad with chicken, which was fine but nothing to write home about. We were sitting outside, but still found the music inside to be quite loud. It was a nice spot for friends from McLean and Ashburn to meet halfway, but Sheriff is the main reason for 5 stars rather than 4.More infoMakers Union RestonPrice: Moderate• American• Reston•4.5
