- MmaraWashington, D.C. Area •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe had an amazing experience today for my husbands birthday! Chris was our server and did a great job. The food was delicious and so were the drinks! The oysters were great and for the shrimp and grits were the best my husband has had. Means a lot coming from someone who only rates food pretty good! Chris also did a great job staying calm and managing a completely rude and disrespectful customer who is why I gave the ambiance a 3. It’s not at the fault of the restaurant but the fault of a horrible customer! Chris continue doing great things and way to remain calm and kind even when someone was over the top! Thank you Kelly’s for a great lunch! We will definitely be back and will spread the word to our Herndon Village! Totally worth the drive!More infoKelly’s Oyster House and BarPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Fairfax•4.5
- CChristineWashington, D.C. Area •28 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoThis was our first visit. We started with the four gras and the beet salad, both delicious. We had the lamb for two, prepared with Meyer lemon. It was perfectly balanced, the lemon added to the dish instead of overpowering it and the meat was a perfect medium rare. The staff was attentive and friendly, especially the bartender. We would like to go back on a night when they have their tasting menu available. The only thing that was off was that it was very smoky. I think one of their exhaust fans is broken.More infoClarityPrice: Expensive• French American• Vienna•4.4

- TTonyWashington, D.C. Area •6 reviews4.0Dined 4 days agoService was great. BBQ Meats were very good. Sides were plentiful. Seems like a typical Korean BBQ, only a tad better. Location isn't great with the 7/11 and other stores right next door.More infoMeokja MeokjaPrice: Moderate• Korean• Fairfax•4.9
- AAliWashington, D.C. Area •5 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoThis is a really great place with fantastic food. The price is reasonable, actually less than many other French type restaurants. My steak was great and my wife and our friends loved their food. Our red wine was great and very reasonable in price. Fresh flowers all over the place, really beautiful. We had fun and stayed for almost 3 hours.More infoCafe RenaissancePrice: Expensive• French• Vienna•4.7
