Our experience here with the food has always been amazing. The burgers are especially good but everything else we've tried has been really good too. Highly recommended.

A group of 4 wanted to split a lot of our lunch choices...plus the checks. No problem. Not only were they accommodating of all of that, our choices came to us already split. Not all restaurants would do that. Staff is charming and knowledgeable. Prices are good. Et Viola is one of my go-to restaurants for good reason. We had mussels, salads and French Onion soup by the way.

First time at the McLean Match Box, but a fan of the Mosaic and downtown DC locations for several years. My sister and I were greeted by a very friendly receptionist and seated in a booth as requested on my Open Table reservation. Our waiter was also very friendly and attentive without interrupting our conversation. We shared a simple salad, which was divided in the kitchen as requested. The pizza order of half one kind and half a different one came out at a good time and was delicious! We'll be back because we enjoy Match Box, we weren't rushed and it is great to have another Match Box closer to where I live.
