Best Restaurants for Quiet Conversation in Merrifield

This was Christmas Eve and although the restaurant was very busy, the service and food was excellent. This restaurant really knows how to cook and prepare fish. The Rockfish and Dorado were perfectly cooked and flavorful. One of these days we will have to order a more traditional greek offering, but those fish dishes are so good!!!!! We even had a pretty decent Greek Chardonnay. Not Napa, but paired well with the food.

Nice night for Christmas Eve. Our service was great! Especially for the holiday!

The manager was great, the food excellent and we had a great night of friendship

I had lunch with a native of Lebanon on 12/18/24. He said he grew up on grape leaves, and said Seray's were just like his mother made -- he absolutely loved them. He also thought that the level of spice in other dishes (yogurt with bread , chicken shwarma, meat pies), was a little mild, probably that way for the American palate. He4 said, overall, American palate= A; Lebanese palate = B. I have to say, I really liked all the dishes. For us older folk (that's me) with hearing aids, the noise level was bothersome -- turn up my hearing aids to hear my friend across the table and suffer the background noise, or turn them down to reduce the noise and have trouble hearing my friend. Go figure. Dino was our waiter and was perfect! Attentive, but not intrusive. My grade = A minus, only because of the noise level. Mike.

We had a lovely pre Christmas lunch there today. The food was excellent and the wait staff were really very nice. We had chicken entrees and both (parmigiana and marsala) and both were excellent. Lots of food so we had leftovers for the next day. Definitely putting this on our repeat visit list.
