    I had another fantastic experience at Cafe Colline! As always, the service was top-notch, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. Our server was attentive and super sweet, making our visit even more enjoyable. I took a friend there to celebrate her birthday, and she loved it just as much as I do. I’ll definitely keep returning and highly recommend this charming spot to anyone looking for a great meal and a warm, welcoming environment!

    A group of 4 wanted to split a lot of our lunch choices...plus the checks. No problem. Not only were they accommodating of all of that, our choices came to us already split. Not all restaurants would do that. Staff is charming and knowledgeable. Prices are good. Et Viola is one of my go-to restaurants for good reason. We had mussels, salads and French Onion soup by the way.

    As always, going to Lyon Hall is special. In addition to the lovely food, drinks and atmosphere, we get treated with kindness. Every time we go there. Thanks to the staff who took care of us this time: Edwin and Yulia. And all the others that usually do. It's always appreciated.

    2941 is not only one of the best restaurants in Falls Church, it is one of the best restaurants in the DMV. The food and service are both always beyond compare and last night was no exception. The Tuna Tartare appetizer is wonderful and our main courses--Ribeye and Duck--were both cooked to perfection. The only minor suggestion I would have relates to my Caesar Salad appetizer. It was more or less a deconstructed salad. While it was visually appealing and delicious, I prefer my salads (including Caesar) to be mixed. Our server (Julio) and his staff were great and the restaurant took pains to recognize our anniversary with a special menu and dessert. Thank you for a wonderful evening.
