Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Tysons Corner / McLean

We had a reservation and were seated within a few minutes of our arrival - just enough time for us to get a view of the buffet. The buffet was well staffed and had a wide variety of items to choose from. Since this was our first visit, the hostess who seated us gave good description of buffet and explained the menus and beverages. Our waiter, Aaron, was just as good, introducing himself, explaining and taking our drink orders, and keeping track of the needs of our table and I'm sure, the others he was responsible for. A manager, Dean, stopped by to answer our questions about Founding Farmer and to make sure we had what we needed and our expectations were being met. Both he and our waiter Aaron were very pleasant, helpful, and met our needs in the midst of a very busy environment.

I loved this restaurant. Will definitely return. Went for a date night before a show. It was fully booked. Noise level was moderate. Not loud but not quiet either. Didn’t have to scream my order to the server. Food was excellent and so were the cocktails. My only negative is the dress code. I wished they didn’t allow athletic wear - tshirts, sweatpants, hoodies; a collared shirt dress code should be enforced. Being a 5 star restaurant, the attire of the patrons should also be of 5 star standard.

We enjoyed dinner in the car/lounge with my elderly father whose hearing is limited. It was a terrific suggestion by your seating host! The waiter and wait staff were--always are--exceptionally friendly, informative, and attentive. Thank you for always providing us such delicious and memorable meals!!

We usually celebrate our Christmases at Chima. The service is exemplary. If ever we experience a hiccup, the Manager immediately walks around to listen and within minutes jumps into action. There are times especially Christmas Day when the restaurant is in full swing and depending on the seating, the selections are not brought around to the back of the restaurant as timely. Once we told our waitress, who immediately brought the Manager to our table - we had the freshest, most seasoned and hottest selections, and it made for a wonderful experience

This was Christmas Eve and although the restaurant was very busy, the service and food was excellent. This restaurant really knows how to cook and prepare fish. The Rockfish and Dorado were perfectly cooked and flavorful. One of these days we will have to order a more traditional greek offering, but those fish dishes are so good!!!!! We even had a pretty decent Greek Chardonnay. Not Napa, but paired well with the food.
