    My wife and I enjoyed a Valentine’s dinner at Wildfire. The special menu was great. We shared the bacon wrapped scallops and the Caesar salad. Both of us chose the petite filet mignon then shared the berry crisp dessert. The food was well prepared and delicious. The service was good but there were several delays between courses. Paired with nice wine, we enjoyed the evening out.

    We enjoyed dining at Aracosia on Valentines Day. Our only concern was we ordered cocktails that didn’t arrive before our food.The server reported the bar was very busy. We cancelled the cocktail order and requested a glass of wine to have with dinner. The server delivered it promptly.

    This was our first visit to J. Gilberts in McLean. The food was delicious and the service was great. My only complaint was that the booth seating was too low. Apparently, they did some work on the floors and even the booths themselves, but the seat in our booth was so low that it felt like that table was at your chest. Hopefully, they can resolve this issue. Everything else was great!

    The food and service was absolutely amazing. The calamari is a must try. It's prepared with an asian zig, but watch out for the hot peppers. Our waiter was very knowledgable and provided top notch service.
