Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in South Riding

Classic Clyde’s experience! Always good year round but especially during the holidays!

Filomena has always been our go-to restaurant, and it never fails to exceed our expectations. The moment you step inside, you’re greeted with a warm, inviting ambiance that sets the tone for an incredible dining experience. The food, as always, was absolutely delicious—each dish crafted with care and bursting with flavor. What truly elevated our evening was the outstanding service we received from Nebil. His professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine friendliness made us feel truly valued as guests. Nebil anticipated our needs effortlessly, provided thoughtful recommendations, and ensured everything was perfect from start to finish. It’s rare to encounter such exceptional service, and it made an already great meal even more memorable. Filomena, once again, proved why it remains our favorite dining spot!

This scratch kitchen was a great dining experience. The server was attentive and the food was flavorful and cooked perfectly. Enjoyed the ambience and decor. Will definitely be returning.

Our server was kind, professional and had a great knowledge of the menu. She was very quick to attend to us and make our team feel comfortable. Would recommend her and this restaurant any day to anyone.

Four of us, three of us were Veterans, came to experience the Veteran's Day Special and we were not disappointed. Two of us had the complimentary Ribeye Steak, which for me was the best I have had to include Capitol Grill, Morton's and Ruth Chris. My wife had the salmon and it was also delicious. Live music, $2 Eagle Rare Bourbon, absolutely fantastic food with top notch complimentary Veteran's Dinners, this was a Thank You I will long remember! I truly appreciate the generous gesture and I guarantee I will be back many times. Thank You!
