Restaurants near Holiday Inn Express Fairfax-Arlington Boulevard

This was my first visit here and I chose it because of its gluten free options, which they had more than average. Everything we ordered was delicious. The fire shrimp appetizer, the lobster bisque, the lamb chops, the crab cakes, the potatoes au gratin, and the star, the flourless chocolate cake. I didn’t have high expectations but was pleasantly blown away and I can’t wait to come back here the next time I am in town. The service was a little spotty and slow but like I said, I’ll be back and can’t wait to try more gf items! What a gem in the middle of Fairfax!

Our grilled octopus was terrific and Alonzo behind the bar was a delight to talk with. Dolce Vita is a gem

Excellent food and gracious service; however, they only serve one size of wine glass, which I consider large. I’d appreciate them offering a 4-oz glass of wine.

Our first time at Draper’s in Fairfax and it was awesome! Had a family of 8, and everything was managed really well. Our server(s) were on point and very nice, and the food is outstanding. Highly recommend Draper’s, and we will definitely be back regularly.

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.
