Best Romantic Restaurants in Fairfax

We decided to celebrate Christmas Eve with our friends, out to a lovely restaurant, and we are so happy that we chose Ruth's Chris Steak House. We were greeted (along with all of the other diners) by a festive front entrance & immediately I knew we made the right choice. The bar was busy but fun and we had delicious wine while waiting less than 10 minutes for our table (but we were 20 minutes early). We had multiple servers and the manager greet and wait on us. We felt very well taken care of from the Staff. The food was just as I expected, AMAZING! We had everything from Filet Mignon to Sea Bass to Crab Cakes to the wonderful sides of Creamed Spinach, Sweet Potato Casserole and Au Gratin Potatoes. Everything was excellent! We had a few bottles of the Quilt Cabernet, and it was very reasonably priced and delicious! The atmosphere was energetic and we felt good being in this beautiful setting on Christmas Eve. All in all, a fantastic time! Highly recommend this restaurant for being consistently great; this is on the heels of having not so great an experience the week before at Eddie V's. I will not go back there for quite some time.

We had an exceptional dining experience on Christmas Eve. Our three main courses of cod in parchment paper, veal with mushrooms and lamb shank were all outstanding and perfectly prepared. In addition to a great wine selection, the cocktails hit the mark. And a very special finish with Irish Coffee created at the table with finesse and flair! We were personally greeted by the owner as family and will definitely return. Thank you so much for making this a special and festive occasion.

Food was extraordinary...convinced my wife to try the Wagyu A5 duo (there was a stiff supplement) -- I went with the Confit/Foie Gras app. My app was simply brilliant. Her app made us swoon (yes, I got one taste, but I feared for my life if I tried for more). Main of Dover Sole was very good for me, but the truffle risotto for herself...outrageous! Desserts were masterpieces worthy of photography -- but we don't do that. As always, front/back of the house were top-notch. Recommend Julio and Mark as great servers.

Truly amazing, from the service to the food to the atmosphere

Food was delicious, service was great and nice ambiance
