Best Historic Restaurants in Herndon

I had a wonderful experience here. The food was delicious and the service was extraordinary. It was my first time and I will definitely return! It is my new town favorite!

I love the comfortable, cozy ambience at Clyde’s Willow Creek. So many places around this area are loud and crowded, but the spacing and furnishings in all the different rooms at Clyde’s make it a treat to relax and enjoy great food and service while spending quality time with friends and family.

This was my first visit here and I chose it because of its gluten free options, which they had more than average. Everything we ordered was delicious. The fire shrimp appetizer, the lobster bisque, the lamb chops, the crab cakes, the potatoes au gratin, and the star, the flourless chocolate cake. I didn’t have high expectations but was pleasantly blown away and I can’t wait to come back here the next time I am in town. The service was a little spotty and slow but like I said, I’ll be back and can’t wait to try more gf items! What a gem in the middle of Fairfax!

La Bonne Vie provided an absolutely superb Christmas Eve dinner program that took away all of the stress of the holiday season. The prix fixe menu was very thorough and provided many fine options for all tastes. The wine and cocktail lists were excellent. Having a special Christmas Eve dinner was a stroke of genius and the owners of La Bonne Vie are to be commended for thinking about the adults during Christmas time. One of the many fine parts of the dinner experience was the "quiet" in the restaurant. The joy of having a sumptuous meal with your loved one in a place with the proper ambiance cannot be overstated. We cannot wait for our next dinner at La Bonne Vie!

Everything is wonderful: atmosphere, cuisine, service
