Best Lunch Restaurants in Merrifield

Ali was our server and he was amazing. On a rainy raw day his suggestion for the hot specialty tea was brilliant (and friend thought it was too and happily had one). The basil, honey and ginger was perfect!

Great service. I had the boneless half chicken that was moist tender and flavorful. It came with Greek green beans.

Ordered three dips, kale salad and the veggie shindig. More than enough for three people and all was delicious. It was a Monday night, so the bar was mostly empty and not all tables full, but it had a very nice ambiance. Booth seats are padded, the nice music was in the background, so there was muted quality…not loud, which made for a very pleasant experience. No shouting to you dinner companions in order to be heard.

Ted’s Bulletin’s food is always good. Our experience was pretty good this time as my wife and I were able to discuss menu options with the manager who was very candid with us regarding our choices and also provided his recommendations. Both choices turned out to be delicious. On the other hand, our waitress wasn’t good at all. She was very forgetful as we often had to remind her of specific requests that we asked for. Other times, we had to look for her for refills, and we had to ask one of the other managers for a side of ranch that we asked for with our fries. That was the most frustrating part, but everything else was good.

We greatly appreciated the consideration of the staff. The walk to our table for two, both of us elderly and using canes, was difficult. The young host was apologetic and, unbidden, took the price of our soft drinks off the bill. We waited a bit long for our meals, but to be fair, it appeared that many dinners arrived at once. The food, a smash burger, and the salmon en croute, was very good.
