    Clarity must be the best restaurant in all of Tysons and Vienna. This place has got it all. The cocktails are handcrafted and prepared superbly. The food is gourmet and made from scratch using the best and freshest ingredients. The place is not loud like most other restaurants! They may be more expensive than other locales but it’s the money well spent. Hands down the best.

    It was 32 degrees outside, but it was warm and welcoming inside! Capri Ristorante is your local Italian restaurant that you can come on week nights casually dressed. Yet it is a sophisticated, classy restaurant to bring a first date on a Friday or Saturday night. It was my sister's birthday, so my husband and I brought her to her favorite Italian restaurant, CAPRI. Each of us agreed that we had the BEST meal - each of us ordered the Rockfish with Shrimp and vegetables (which we done perfectly). Every bite was delicious. I mentioned the noise level - only because we were seated right beside four seniors who had to talk very loudly to be heard - by everyone. But, Bless their hearts, they were having fun. We will all be there someday. To end a perfect meal and time at Capri, the waiter brought a piece of cake with a candle for her birthday. Very thoughtful. Excellent all around.
