Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Merrifield

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.

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!

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.

The waiter was nice, food was good. Overall, a good dining experience.

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.
