    Overall a pleasant experience at this relatively new restaurant. Nice ambience, and it was very lively and busy. The food was nice but not extraordinary. My dining companion was very unimpressed by the orecchiette pasta with scallops. I very much enjoyed the seared salmon, though I wished the squash puree, which was delicious, had been warmer. Very nice staff. I might return on my own to sit at the bar and try other dishes.

    It was our first visit to the restaurant. Colleagues who had gone there all said it is an amazing restaurant. The restaurant is advertised as a "Franco-American cuisine". We had expected a French style restaurant. In fact, the atmosphere is more that of an American café. The tables are basic bare metal tables, with no tablecloths. The noise level was loud but not high enough that it would interfere with conversations. We could hear each other. The prices on the menu were on par with other good restaurants in the area. We did not find the menu particularly French, but it was an interesting menu, with many choices without being overwhelming. The quality of the food was excellent. It was extremely good. A++ In fact, it was one of the best restaurants we have visited in the area. The service was excellent as well. Our waitress was wonderful, very attentive and helpful in addition to being very nice. We were pleasantly surprised by the entire experience. We will definitely revisit the place. I highly recommend it.

    The waiter was the only highpoint of the evening. The host was grumpy. The food was fair. The price for the value of the meal was high. We will be taking Maison Cheryl off our list of favorite Northern Virginia restaurants. Save your money and a dining experience and try someplace else. We will.

    Really cool restaurant with modern vibe, clean sophisticated decor. The service was excellent and the cocktails and whiskey selection was very good! The escargot was super tasty and the main dishes we had were very nice: Bay Scallop & Shrimp Orecchiette, Duck Breast, and Swiss Au Poivre Burger. Really enjoyed our first visit!

    Sunday brunch, salmon omelets were delicious. Usually don’t come to Clarendon from the burbs, worth the trip.

    Food was very good. Ambiance not so much. Decor was unappealing. Music varied from decent to bad. Blasts of cold air from the front door made the room cold, particularly at our table. We liked the food quite a bit but don’t think we’ll rush to return.
