    Outstanding!! I normally do not like to go to restaurants on days they have special menus. However, the Valentine's choices were wonderful! The lobster and tuna appetizers were delicious, as were the Branzino entree and the luscious raspberry tarts! Julio's service was so refined and helpful, as usual. And James opened a lovely burgundy and provided a delightful evening surprise!! I love going here. I wish I could enjoy the cuisine and service more often. My go-to spot for top flight dining and service in the region.

    Awesome experience at lunch today! Food was fresh, tasted great and they worked with my dietary constraints. Server Dominick was outstanding. Room music was pleasant but not so loud as to drown out conversations. The only thing I'd suggest if they would please calculate the carbs in each, (or a few) of the selections, it'd make it easier for diabetics to eat there.

    Nostos is already very popular, it is the best restaurant in Northern Virginia. You need to make a reservation to get a table. It is a quality restaurant. The food is excellent, everything fresh and perfectly prepared. It is a pleasure to just enjoy great food. Add to that the perfect service; and the family who owns the restaurant, is always on site managing all the details and greeting guests. It is a taste treat of the first order. You will love it.
