Best Seasonal Restaurants in McLean

Delicious food made from scratch - love it! The brunch has tons of options - there are even single dishes that are part of the buffet that you can order to the table - for example - I had a very yummy chia seed pudding with fresh peanut butter and berries. No-el did an awesome job as our professional customer service ambassador!

Great service and was immediately seated upon arrival with reservation. Quality Italian food. Came for Valentine’s Day 3 course meal special and really enjoyed it.

This is our favorite place in the DMV to get a high quality seafood meal. BY FAR! Offerings are extensive and preparations range from simple classics to highly creative combinations. We love their fried clams, oysters Rockefeller, and clam chowder. Their fish specials are superb. Last night I selected a specific fish from the market for them to prepare. Room in front usually high energy while room in back better for a quiet meal. Why this restaurant is not in Washingtonian Top 100 is bewildering.

This was our first visit to J. Gilberts in McLean. The food was delicious and the service was great. My only complaint was that the booth seating was too low. Apparently, they did some work on the floors and even the booths themselves, but the seat in our booth was so low that it felt like that table was at your chest. Hopefully, they can resolve this issue. Everything else was great!

The food and service was absolutely amazing. The calamari is a must try. It's prepared with an asian zig, but watch out for the hot peppers. Our waiter was very knowledgable and provided top notch service.
