Best Seasonal Restaurants in Falls Church

I love the redo of the old Liberty Tavern. The smoked baby back ribs were excellent. I didn't go for Happy Hour but heard it was one of the best around. I will definately go back.

Great food, but the highlight was Sophie who was fantastic.

Sometimes the greatest luxury is when something simple is done absolutely flawlessly. Our anniversary dinner at Black Salt fits that description. The service was attentive, but not intrusive. The restaurant is open to individual preferences and tweaks. The food was extremely fresh, cooked to perfection, and delicious. Portions were not huge, but satisfying, and beautifully plated. We had oysters, steamed clams, red snapper and fried Ipswich (belly) clams. The oysters were fresh and they had about eight varieties to choose from. The clams were served in a nice garlicky tomatoey broth. The fish was perfectly grilled and lightly seasoned to bring out the flavor. The sides were delicious in themselves. Every vegetable in a medley of mixed vegetables tasted exactly like that vegetable should taste. I suspect they had been cooked and seasoned separately and then joined together at plating. A purée of turnips and parsnips was light and tasty with a nice parsnippy sweetness. A simple salad was fresh and perfectly dressed with a light house vinaigrette. A cranberry orange flan served with a fresh fruit salad completed the meal. Both of us thoroughly enjoyed our dinner.

The omakase experience was delicious! I’ve never had coffee that tastes that good before. Each course is presented beautifully and the barista gives an explanation of the flavors and how to enjoy the various tastes in each course. Arrive hungry, and without previous caffeine if you’re sensitive to it. I was energized all day 🤣!

The pizza and the calamari were outstanding. Definitely will be going back.
