Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in South Riding

Once again, Old Ebbitt Grill was great! Even though crowded due to Xmas, they were super organized and handled reservations well. The food, steak frites, stead salad, and bowl were perfect and the brownie sundae couldn't have been better. Our server Alexa made it even more fun with her efficiency and adept handling of the many things going around us.

Great luncheon today. Lots of menu choices for winter warmers. I had the beef stew. Tender and tasted great, with a small salad and some bread. Just the right size portions, not to big and not to small. My wife had the chicken stew, and equally as satisfying. Our server was very attentive. We've been here before-sometimes good, sometimes not so much- and this is the best experience we've ever had.

I ordered a salad with grilled salmon. The salad came without the salmon; two people came over to apologize and to tell me they comped the salmon. I was floored. This place exceeded my expectations in food and service. Wow. Can't recommend highly enough.

Always enjoy dining here. Tonight was the first time that we were disappointed in our food. The Parisienne Gnocchi were great but were barely warm when served. They did reheat them and they were definitely a keeper in the menu. My beef stroganoff was very minimal on the meat and heavy on the pasta. It should have been the reverse. The salmon was not cooked as requested but good. The fare was bland and all the vegetables were barely cooked. This is a first there. We attribute it to maybe extra staff brought on for the holidays. But we still love it here!!

We had a table for 7 and service was terrific, and he made sure to tell me what had my allergens in it. We ordered the small flight plate, charcuterie board and calamari. Rave reviews for the calamari - crisp not greasy. Charcuterie was pretty good overall - love that they had braseola not prosciutto. The cold shrimp cocktail, chicken wings (not buffalo) ribs on the small flight were all flavorful and delicious. So easy to overcook shrimp but these were perfect. The only item not fantastic was the bone marrow. The Wagyu Coulette filet was the best - very tender, very flavorful, and lean.
