Best Live Music Restaurants in McLean

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.

Et Voila continues to be a welcoming restaurant with quality food and wine/bar choices. I appreciate a restaurant with a good chateauneuf-du-pape by the glass! The carbonnade and our other main course selections were excellent, with the fries always outstanding. My mom loved her baked escargots. The floating island and chocolate mousse are our constant go-tos that never disappoint. The interior room was a bit hectic for an early seating but we put that down to it being Christmas Eve.

Bashar and the Wren staff were incredibly tactful and considerate during my fiancé’s birthday dinner — the izakaya selections were superb and the ambiance was immaculate, especially when paired with drinks that reminded us of our appreciation for the artistry of bartending once more. I agree it can be cumbersome to reach, but it’s a minor gripe I can forgive such a gem in Tyson’s worth seeking all the same — thanks again for the birthday card!

The meat quality at this ingle staek is truly exceptional, showcasing a level of tenderness and flavor that surpasses expectation. The staff's professionalism is commendable. They are not only knowledgeable and attentive but also create a welcoming and refined atmosphere, enhancing the overall dining experience with their impeccable service.

First time at this restaurant-located in a small and crowded strip mall (parking was a bit of a challenge), we weren’t sure what to expect. The restaurant is also relatively small with two sections, one a few steps down from the other. About 60 percent of tables were filled. The interior could use a refresh, but the wine (excellent) and meals were very good. My husband and I shared a Caesar salad - very fresh and well dressed - and two had the filet and frites, the other two the salmon almond (also excellent) and the scallops. Everyone enjoyed their meal and started that they would come back. It’s a bit of a neighborhood gem.
