Best Restaurants for Quiet Conversation in McLean

We had a celebratory anniversary dinner at the Tabard - which was outstanding in every way. First, we were seated promptly and in the quiet corner we had requested. Secondly, the place simply drips with a warm and comforting atmosphere. Thirdly, our server was friendly and super attentive. Fourth, the manager came over twice to make sure all was OK. Fifth, to help us celebrate bubbly and super delicious limoncello arrived on the house. Sixth, our food was simply delicious - frisee salad, hangar steak, rockfish, a side of carrots, bread with mushroom butter, and earl grey creme brulee - all super tasty and beautifully plated and served. This was not inexpensive but was a superb value for the money. We were visiting Washington - if we lived here we'd be regulars!

Good vibe good ambiance and delicious food . Staff cordial and service very good. Price point moderate on most menu items. Noisy but not intrusive.

We enjoy dining here and generally speaking everything is as expected. Tonight was extraordinary because of our waitress Wilma. We had never had her before and we were impressed with her friendly personality, her attentiveness and her overall desire to make our dining experience enjoyable. She excelled in every sense of the word. Our dinner was excellent, from the Beef Wellington to the Crab Cake entrees along with the shrimp cocktail and goat cheese appetizers. The cornbread was fresh and warm ( not rubbery) and the peach green tea was to die for. Wilma surprised us with a complimentary piece of chocolate tort with a candle where she thanked us for being good clients of Wildfire. This was completely unexpected but was warmly received. Everything was wonderful but we missed seeing management during our trip tonight.

Our go-to family dinner! It's so family-friendly and a wonderful way to kick off the weekend.

It’s a concise menu, but it is always phenomenal! My wife and I have been visiting Härth for more than eight years, and we never had any issue with food or service. It is one of the finest places around.
