If I could leave 0 stars I would. We just left this place. When the two of us arrived for Sunday Brunch the hostess was extremely strange about seating us and acted like she didnt want to do it. Then we were walked past several clean tables and seated at a dirty one that still had a glass on it. We were given menus and sat there for 10 minutes. And then after that we were finally given empty glasses. 5 minutes later a server silently poured us water and walked away. We waited at the table for 20 minutes without a single person asking to take our order or letting us know how long it would be before someone would be able to. We left, never again. Will definitely be telling my friends in the area to avoid this place.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in the area. Being able to eat out and trust that my food wont make me sick (gluten-intolerance) is extremely important, but having that food be delicious and carefully prepared is a wonderful plus. Their Sunday brunch is very good. We love their burgers, fried chicken, and steak salad, among other dishes. My husband really loves their Reuben sandwich--its his favorite version of that dish (hes not gluten-intolerant). The decor is quaint, but the rooms can be noisy when theyre full. My one and only criticism is that we have had to wait a long time for our check on several occasions, but otherwise the service is good.

Please dont trust the fake reviews, the management is horrible, they treat you like crap. the owner should seriously sell to someone who knows how to run a busniess and has any people skills. I have no idea how this place stayed in business, it may have been great a few years ago, but its now runing into the ground. dont expect service they treat you like a order at mcdonalds. the waiters will never come see if you need anything. its a cute idea, but delt with so poorly. DONT GO HERE go to hard times down the street.

Food was fantastic. My girlfriend has celiac disease, on top of a beef/pork/corn allergy. They already have a great gluten free menu, but they went out of their way to make sure the rest of the ingredients for their foods were safe when we ordered. Our server was very polite and friendly. The pricing is more then say Applebees or Outback, but not too much more. Its definitely worth the value. The building, a historic house, has a wonderful charm and atmosphere to it as well, only adding to the experience.

While waiting to be seated for our reservation, the hostess said out loud "oh make make it stop" every time another person came in. She kept grabbing her face. The hostess and the busboy were annoyed with each other. When we got seated the hostess told us she didnt know if she had a server for us. She said if she didnt, she would wait on us as she walked away. We sat there for a few minutes and thought they must have been understaffed. We got up and left.

The food is wonderful. They offer a great selection of entrees which are designed to help those of us with food allergies. Their gluten-free bread has to be the best in the state. I have gluten sensitivity and much of the so-called bread I buy is akin to chewing on cardboard. Not this bread! Get the Angus burger with the gluten free bread and it is a delicious lunch. Their duck dinner is superb. Love it! And they are always friendly and helpful.

Phenomenal food! Loved the appetizer, entrée, and the dessert. For appetizer, I had a fried green tomatoes with mushroom sauce and coleslaw, for main course I had roasted pumpkin risotto, and for dessert I had a vanilla maple and blackberry ice cream. Everything amounted to about $35 with taxes. Everything had a lot of flavor, which is unusual for fancy restaurants. Will probably take my partner there for a date next time.

This is such a cute place to meet up with friends or go on a casual date!! the food is good too, its a simple short menu, waitresses are so pleasant! You can eat inside in one of two cute dining rooms with harwoode floor, or eat out! I hate going to chain restaurants and this place along with other local restaurants are a dying business due to competition. Will definitely go back when its warmer and eat outside!

Stellar food, atmosphere, and service. Ordered a Canada Dry on the rocks, and it came in seconds! I then moved on to bless my palate with the delicious fried chicken, which, let me tell you, was probably the best fried chicken Ive had in years! This is the hottest spot in Fairfax, and no other restaurant can compare! Id just like to say, this restaurant makes some great Choices!

We went there today for brunch hoping for the best. My husband and father-in-law both found black short curly hairs in their eggs. The steak my husband ordered had been cooked in some sweet sauce that my husband said tasted like maple syrup. It took over thirty minuets for our waiter to take our order and when we finally did get our food an hour later it was a disappointment.

Took my girlfriends out for a bday dinner to this restaurant and cant say enough positive things about it! The waitstaff was fantastic, the food was amazing, and the ambiance is terrific! The owner, Bill Hamrock, kindly made a tasting plate of desserts for the bday girls as an unexpected surprise! We will be returning frequently to this place -- it is my new Fairfax fav!

A family owned and run restaurant in a lovingly restored historic house in downtown Fairfax. Recently changed hands, and I think the new ownership is an improvement. Still a widely varied menu, with lots of "choices" for people with special dietary needs. The food is excellent. Attentive staff. Reservations are advisable, especially on weekends.

Awesome Easter brunch. Blueberry muffins were fantastic. Omlettes were light and cooked to perfection. I had the Greek and others had the taco. Mozzarella and vegetables were a table favorite. The chicken and shrimp got high marks. Desserts included cookies, Brownies and ice cream. Servers were attentive and friendly. A new Easter tradition.

Wow, just wow. Stellar food, environment and service. The decor gave the establishment a very warm vibe that I would recommend to anybody. The chicken and fries are to die for, and the pop-overs are a must! If you havent tried this robust restaurant, you have been missing out! Consider it next time your going out and you wont regret it.

Very good food and reasonable prices. Service was a little bumpy initially, with no table ready initially despite a reservation and confusion over which server was responsible for the table provided. Once that was ironed out however, service was excellent and server went out of the way to apologize for errors and make up for them.

Food was excellent and attention to food allergies/sensitivities made it a safe choice to bring my wife. The wait staff is attentive but not very interactive, so the experience is about your company and the food, not a chatty waiter. I like that, but not everyones cup of tea. Overall a wonderful place we will visit again.
