Best Wineries in Reston

Had brunch with six friends at Cooper’s Hawk today. It was my first time there, and the whole experience was lovely. Our server, Destiny, was very attentive and accommodating, and the food was great. I shared two entrees (chilaquiles and avocado toast) with another person, and both were excellent. Others around the table also enjoyed their food, including a slice of key lime pie. I did not try the pie, instead having the truffle of the month, delicious dark chocolate and peppermint. Lots of menu choices for vegetarians! As a bonus, the restaurant is very close to Next Stop Theatre, where we went to a fabulous Shawshank Redemption matinee. And one last comment - Destiny kept my iced tea glass full at all times, without my having to ask, which is one of the most important things to me at a restaurant, whether it’s iced tea or water - a personal quirk, I guess…

Despite the Tday crowd, the wait was short and the food was great. We had the Thanksgiving menu and it was both delicious and filling. Enough for takeaway I’m eagerly anticipating. Traditional ingredients with a twist, juicy turkey, slightly sweet but traditionally flavored stuffing, cream soup. Only disappointment were the glazed carrots and green beans, either overcooked or still crunchy. By the way, the cranberry sangria was wonderful! Tart and smooth.

This was my first time going to this location and I wasn't disappointed in the least. The ambiance was cozy and festive (loved the decorations), staff were pleasant and had approachable dispositions. Furthermore, my request in the reservation to be seated by a window was honoured without me having to remind the hostess. The food was tasty and portions copious. The calamari, the lamb chops, cheesecake and creme brulee were our faves. The turkey was the tastiest we have had yet in a restaurant so we were happy we got to take home the leftovers. Our waiter, Korey, was personable, professional and patient. He didn't vanish for long periods and checked in regularly. He didn't grimace once when we asked him to repeat the specials a few times (sorry Korey)! The icing on the cake was the maitre d''s friendliness and first-class customer service. Kevin F. stopped by, greeted us warmly and wished us a Happy Thanksgiving. He definitely caught my attention - I was impressed because as many times as I've been to the Fairfax Corner location the maitre d' there has never stopped by my table. When one of the dishes we ordered was not served as we had requested, and a specific ask was forgotten, Kevin came and apologised profusely and then went all out to ensure our full satisfaction. He served us himself and checked to see whether the chef got it right the second time around, supervising the staff who rallied around us to give our new plates. Another thing that stood out was Kevin's support of his staff, praising Korey and taking full responsibility for the blunder, not throwing him under the bus as I've witnessed in some instances. Kevin's leadership skills are exemplary and his personality on point, so he has a following! :) We were really touched by his attentiveness and appreciative of his determination to ensure our Thanksgiving celebration was not marred in the least, and it wasn't. We will visit again. Thank you Kevin and Korey, and Happy Thanksgiving!

This was our first time dining at Clarity. A perfect table, delicious food with such amazing flavors, and the outstanding and welcoming server made this Thanksgiving special for us.

Raul was an excellent server. He was very friendly, courteous, attentive and personable. There was also a tremendous team effort from the entire staff, including the young man who brought us bread and the young woman who refilled our water glasses. Raul’s great customer service attitude along with delicious food made for an outstanding pre-Thanksgiving dining experience. Thank you all for a job well done!
