Wren, a vibrant cocktail bar & restaurant, is a fun place due to its unique menu items, lively atmosphere, and great service. As one reviewer put it, 'Surprising and unique, Wren combines gastropub style Japanese food with an elegant open floor hotel lobby setting and somehow it works really well.'

Waitress was absolutely wonderful. We had a birthday luncheon for a friend and she was given extra care. Waitress couldn’t do enough for our table of four.

The decor is very pleasing and the servers very accommodating. The downside to this restaurant is the parking. I have mobility issues and could not find a parking space close to the restaurant, let alone handicapped parking.

This was probably my fourth time at the restaurant. Love the ambience today and the service was about as good as it gets today. The food is slightly high in pricing but the rustic theme and energy tied with reliably good food makes it a place your can repeatedly enjoy and rely on. I just had a burger and ceasar salad but that along with a great double IPA from a large on tap selection made it just right for lunch with a very good friend. I was seated immediately and the staff led my later arriving to me without a fuss. Parking was ample and access from the beltway was a breeze. Will be coming back.
