Best Healthy Restaurants in Manassas

Pre fix was on point the onion soup was great all the food was perfect

We went all in for the chef's tasting menu with wine pairing. It was excellent. Our waiter was charming and available. It is a loud, vibrant space. I wish it was a little less loud and a little more intimate but that is of course prefernce. The support staff is everywhere, dropping off and picking up plates, filling water, replenishing bread. Only once did they mistime pick-up to remove a plate before we were done. Particular favourites included the cretan dakos salad, hommus, garides saganaki, saffron pilaf, steak mishwi, and lemony potatoes. Tapas can be tough if you're not sure what to get. The tasting menu was great. After a full day of being very thoughtful and on our feet at a couple museums, we only had to be mindful when enjoying each plate, not choosing it.

Our server was amazing, so kind and happy and made the day special

The four of us went to celebrate the retirement from federal service of a spouse. I'd been once before but before the restaurant was greatly expanded. I do want to return to sample the short ribs which my best friend enjoyed immensely. The greeters at the front were great and enthusiastic. Once seated though, we had a new waitress who admitted as such and she did not know the menu very well. That's ok and we understood. Once looking at the wines, I was dismayed at the prices. Virginia wines I know well were 4x prices I usually buy at and the cheapest Pino Grigio was $51 per bottle. I settled for a CA Chardonnay that was ok, but with a terrible pour. Served a giant glass, it barely covered the bottom. My buddy had a good German beer and the wives had cocktails that they seemed to like ok. The Brie and Crab Dip appetizers were very good. No complaints there. The menu was interesting and diverse, although an item or to on the combined dinner menu would have been better if we could order them al a carte. Two of us ordered the schnitzel, probably the cheapest thing on the menu, and at least I regretted it. The dill german potato salad was not quite up to dill standards... a little bland and the schnitzel was flakey and perhaps little overdone. I managed while my buddy loved the short ribs which I really wanted! My mistake. My wife loved her pumpkin butternut squash and it was gone in a flash. The wives shared a chocolate dessert and shared a bite with us that was delicious. The bill was $331 and we had a good time and most of the food was very good, with vastly overpriced wine. Still, I would go back again, drink the German beer, have the short ribs and still refuse to pay $6 or $9 for bread. Its a wonderful town, very scenic, but the prices and atmosphere were geared more to tourists than regular loyal local customers.

Food was fresh, hot, tasty and nicely presented. Lots of options. Servers were pleasant and attentive. Very enjoyable experience.
