    We decided to celebrate Christmas Eve with our friends, out to a lovely restaurant, and we are so happy that we chose Ruth's Chris Steak House. We were greeted (along with all of the other diners) by a festive front entrance & immediately I knew we made the right choice. The bar was busy but fun and we had delicious wine while waiting less than 10 minutes for our table (but we were 20 minutes early). We had multiple servers and the manager greet and wait on us. We felt very well taken care of from the Staff. The food was just as I expected, AMAZING! We had everything from Filet Mignon to Sea Bass to Crab Cakes to the wonderful sides of Creamed Spinach, Sweet Potato Casserole and Au Gratin Potatoes. Everything was excellent! We had a few bottles of the Quilt Cabernet, and it was very reasonably priced and delicious! The atmosphere was energetic and we felt good being in this beautiful setting on Christmas Eve. All in all, a fantastic time! Highly recommend this restaurant for being consistently great; this is on the heels of having not so great an experience the week before at Eddie V's. I will not go back there for quite some time.

    We wanted to dine out on Christmas Eve this year and decided to check out Bellissimo in Old Town Fairfax. It was the perfect spot! Parking was easy, the menu had a nice variety to choose from, the waiter (the owner's son) was cordial and eager to please. The butternut squash soup was smooth and creamy, the seafood pasta was luscious, and the cannelloni a perfect ending. We will be back!

    I ordered from the Christmas menu. I had the lobster bisque (very creamy and delicious), scallop dish (scallops were sweet and tender), and the chocolate lava cake (best ever). This is one of my favorite restaurants in the area.

    The food was good, and I have no complaints. It is about what you expect from Red Lobster. We had the Crabfest special, which is overpriced for what you get for $38. I got one cluster, and they were out of crispy potatoes. What made the experience most pleasant was our waiter, Laura. Even if the food were terrible, which it wasn’t, I would have given my dining experience 5 stars, just for how she cared for us and her other tables. Her service was superb, and it made for an enjoyable dinner.
