Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in Annandale

Came for the AYCE to celebrate my husband’s birthday. We arrived early and let the host know that we were fine waiting for our reservation time. Staff was lovely and greeted us immediately, sat us before our reservation time and made sure to tell my husband happy birthday. They auto include a 20% gratuity/service charge which gets split by all the servers. I loved that. It promotes a great workplace of cohesive customer first teamwork and makes sure servers get sufficient tips. All the servers work really well together helping all tables, but our main server Adrian was phenomenal. Because of that, the 20% seems almost low because of the great service, so we chose to include an additional tip as well. On to the food, we ate so much and it was all delicious. I loved the smaller portions of additional items during the AYCE because not only did it help eliminate waste but it allowed us to try so many items off the menu. Gumbo, snow crab, shrimp and Australian king prawns, crawfish, mussels, ribeye, all fantastic. We chose different heats and flavor combos and enjoyed all of them, our least favorite being the pineapple chili one and our favorite being the medium and hot heat Oh Dang flavor. Can’t wait to go back.

We had the best time!! Tom was amazing and finishing the meal with his famous cinnamon/sugar balls really brought the meal together. Tom’s balls were so good we took them home to enjoy the next day

Delicious meal. Excellent service. The cassoulet was absolutely perfect!! The rack of lamb was succulent and perfectly cooked.

We love the seafood at this restaurant. The wine is well-priced too

The food was great, service was pretty much non existent. The staff seems to not make eye contact with customers, they just glaze over people. You literally have to raise your hand to get someone's attention. No one comes by to ask if you need anything, like even water, or how the food is. Needless to say, we won't be going back. The food is great but it's the same at the Tysons location and the service and ambiance is much better. We will stick with that location.
