Best Lunch Restaurants in McLean

I think my overall feeling about J. Gilbert McLean is gratitude. In stark contrast to a trendy (former) favorite restaurant in the District where we dined the night before, we were welcomed with warmth, shown to a comfortable fireside table, enjoyed enough privacy to enjoy our conversation without being jostled, were taken care of by a conscientious , competent and endearing server, and enjoyed excellent quality food and drink meticulously (if not wildly inventively) prepared that arrived promptly and at a comfortable cadence. A relaxing, satisfying, gratifying meal and environment for those more interested in each other than in a trendy scene. We felt valued and well cared for, which is exactly what we needed after an opposite experience elsewhere!

We always love our meals at Capri…a homey and warm place with consistent food. Excellent place.

From the beginning, service was very professional, efficient and courteous. The food was AMAZING!!! One word to change your life: Salted Caramel Cheesecake. An experience all on its own. Definitely on our rotation! So many choices to try! We will be back VERY soon.

The food, wine, and service are all consistently very good here. Fantastic neighborhood gem.

My husband took me there for a birthday lunch today. Though they were very busy, the service was excellent and the food outstanding. I'm a vegetarian and especially loved the vegetarian flight lunch. Great bread, wonderful veggies, and delicious spicy chickpeas.
