Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Lorton

First time, and will not be our last! From entering the restaurant and having our coats taken, to attentive wait staff ensuring our eating area was well kept. Truly felt we were dining with royalty. The Ceasar salad was so exquisite and flavorful, followed by the swordfish entree and lava cake finish. The experience was worth the value.

I can’t get over how incredible our server was. Elvis immediately acknowledged that we were vegetarians and had accommodations made for even the fixed Valentine’s Day menu. We truly appreciate it. And not to forget, but the food was incredible. I would go back and eat an entire bowl of the beet salata

We really enjoyed our Valentine's Day dinner at Afghan Bistro. It was my husband's first time there and he really liked the food. Both of our entrees were delicious; lots of flavor and food arrived hot at our table. The service was perfect, the servers working together smoothly. Looking forward to my leftovers today! 😋

We had an amazing evening. The food was amazing. Thank you to Fernando, who made the night unforgettable. His attention to detail and warm hospitality made us feel like we were the only people in the restaurant. He anticipated our needs, made thoughtful recommendations, and added a personal touch that elevated the entire evening. It’s rare to find such genuine service these days, and Fernando truly made us feel at home. We can’t wait to return! Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food and an even better experience.

They have had since 1856 to perfect the art of service. They have not wasted a bit of that time. We had a server and he was fantastic. With that, the entire brigade worked as a fantastic machine and supported the goal of quick and perfect service for the guest. I have never had apps arrive so quickly at a restaurant before. I even threw another order in while ordering our main course and it was on the table 2 minutes later. The quality of the food is top notch as well. The roast beef sandwich had a bit of bite on it that was unexpected but definitely not unappreciated. As I was dinning with my 13 year old son tonight, I also appreciated the non alcoholic options on the drink menu. It was great to have a delicious option that wasn't a soda. Overall, this is a MUST for any visit to DC.
