    Hadn’t been to Morton’s in Reston Town Center in years. Went for our Anniversary on Valentine’s Day and had the $179 dinner for 2. It was FABULOUS. Steak was melt in your mouth, lobsters were perfect size, au gratin potatoes and creamed corn delicious and the hot chocolate sundae dessert was phenomenal. Service was top notch. 9 oz pour of wine at $25 was disappointing price-wise. All in all we loved it and will be back soon.

    We dined in for Valentine’s Day and took advantage of the 3 course pre fix menu. The flavors were excellent, but the portions for both the appetizers and desserts were barely more than a mouthful. I’ve eaten here before and enjoyed everything about the experience. Maybe shrinkflation?

    I’ve never had a bad experience at Cooper’s Hawk, my husband and I absolutely love it there. The servers are always so knowledgeable about which wines to pair with each dish and we’ve never been disappointed. We always get the Over the Border Eggrolls and it seems like they might’ve changed the recipe on that. They’re still good but a lot cheesier. We celebrated my husband’s birthday last night and they treated us to complimentary chocolate truffles that were delicious! Overall, a great experience with great food and service!

    This was our second vsiit and we had another great dining experience, the service and food was great! We ordered the focaccia, burrata, baked shrimp, and short rib and loved each dish. The drinks were great as well. We visited the day before Valentine's Day and they had this strawberry pistachio dessert that was so good. I am not a dessert person so that says a lot. Overall, would highly recommend. Great restaurant, speakeasy vibes, very loungey and dim atmosphere. We will be back again!
