This was our first time at the Tysons restaurant and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. With only one of our party of 4 being a beer drinker, it wasn't an obvious dinner choice. The service, however, was pretty awful. One person had their salad arrive much earlier than the rest. And another dinner was served a good 10 minutes before the rest of the party. He finished by the time the others were served. Dirty plates were not cleared away. We had to flag down the waitress several times to get her attention for more water, iced tea, ketchup, etc. And it wasn't even busy.

Service was a little less than average. Server didn’t come by much, and food was so so. Bathroom was dirty, which made me look more closely at the restaurant when I walked out, and realized that the entire restaurant was dirty (6:45 PM). Our table was next to the bar area, but if you are seated in the restaurant area, you are not entitled to the happy hour drink specials.

Great for a business lunch. Easy to get separate checks -- no hassle at all with the waiter to do it. Good timing on ordering, receiving drinks, receiving meals, and getting checks -- efficient but didn't feel rushed. Tasty food -- love those garlic fries!

The good was great, as well as the service. Our server was very nice and took his time to answer our questions and make recommendations. He was thoughtful to double check with me on how spicy I might like my food based on what I ordered and recommended I get the sauce on the side - which was a great idea. The beers they brew there were also great. Finally, this was a great value for the price - so glad to find a reasonably priced restaurant in the area. We will definitely comeback again.
