Best Date Night Restaurants in Merrifield

The cocktails and beer selection were both top notch. The food was also really tasty with their own take on some pub dishes that raised the bar and elevated the experience. And it’s amazing inside. We will definitely go back regularly!

I made the reservation for the wrong night. We showed up Thursday (instead of Friday) and they were able to take us. It was our grandson’s 1st birthday. The staff could not have been nicer especially our waiter. I wish I could remember his name. He was younger and had dark hair. He was wonderful. All the food was delicious. We had the chicken nachos which were amazing and the queso was flavorful. The chips were light and crisp. The fajitas were delicious and the chicken quesadillas were just right. A few of us had the burritos and my shredded beef burrito was the best I ever had. The refried beans have pork in them and were so tasty. We will definitely be back because of the food and service.

We luckily picked a slow time, 6:00 PM on Wednesday. Service was prompt and courteous. Everything came on time and as requested. My chicken Milanese was done to perfection. The garlic bread was fresh and just toasted. My wife’s gnocchi with mushrooms was incredible. My picky teenage daughter ate every bit of her spaghetti and even the meatballs. Our guest ate all his spaghetti and chicken. Everything was made from scratch; nothing tasted premade.

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.

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.
