Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Haymarket

Filomena has always been our go-to restaurant, and it never fails to exceed our expectations. The moment you step inside, you’re greeted with a warm, inviting ambiance that sets the tone for an incredible dining experience. The food, as always, was absolutely delicious—each dish crafted with care and bursting with flavor. What truly elevated our evening was the outstanding service we received from Nebil. His professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine friendliness made us feel truly valued as guests. Nebil anticipated our needs effortlessly, provided thoughtful recommendations, and ensured everything was perfect from start to finish. It’s rare to encounter such exceptional service, and it made an already great meal even more memorable. Filomena, once again, proved why it remains our favorite dining spot!

Beautiful experience from the friendly hosts, to the delightful server, to the food all of which was perfectly delicious. We ordered the skillet cornbread, spinach dip, vegetable sandwich, goat cheese burger and fried chicken sandwich. Absolutely no complaints and they got us in and out in a little over an hour so we made it to our event right on time.

Zaytinya is one of my go to places to take friends, family, and out of town people because the food is great and the price is great! Our waitress took a while to take our order but the food came out fast and the drinks were great!

Our server was kind, professional and had a great knowledge of the menu. She was very quick to attend to us and make our team feel comfortable. Would recommend her and this restaurant any day to anyone.

It was Veterans Day so the place was packed but even with a packed house the service was excellent. My steak was juicy and tender bad well as delicious. It was perfectly cooked as were my wife’s ribs. It was wine night so half priced wines. If you are having a special occasion I’d say have it at Fire Birds in Gainesville, VA you can’t do wrong.
