    WHAT A spendid surprise it was at Chasin Tails tonight. My girlfriend and I went for Happy Hour and had excellent appetizers and cocktails at the bar, with the exceptional bartender there. We both loved the yellowtail appetizer as well as the crispy shrimp. We had great Manhattans and Chardonnay with our dinner after Happy Hour, sharing the crabcake dinner and brussel sprouts, both of which were excellent. Chasin' Tails shares a kitchen with NUE which is a great Vietnamese Restaurant in Falls Church. I can't wait to go back to Chasin' Tails and to try Nue for a more fine dining experience. Parking is a bit confusing but is plentiful underground in the retail parking lot entrance off of Broad street. Just go up to the restaurant to have them help you and to get the 3 hour free discount. It's quite simple after the first visit!

    Wonderful, fresh, inventive seafood dishes for very enjoyable evening out while traveling. We will definitely be back. Kenny was a very attentive server without excessive hovering. Lots of locals were there for happy hour. Their happy hour offerings must be very good! We were reserved for the dining room, and the service was wonderful even though we were on the early side of dinner. Loved the daily specials that seemed super fresh. Red Snapper tartare was amazing. The ahi tuna and crab cakes entrees were also fantastic. Drinks were well prepared and portioned. The cranberry orange crème brulee had a refreshing flavor and was just the right touch for a shared dessert. Thank you.
