I'm a local here, whose mother remembers the this place from the 40s. The 'nice' people in old Loudoun County have always liked the Red Fox Tavern, but everybody knew it was for tourists. LOL Its a darling old stone building with low heavy-beamed ceilings, and dark aged wood. People love the atmosphere and the comfort of sturdy thick stone walls. In the winter the table near the fireplace becomes 'hot' property. Over the years the food has improved and now is quite good - now Nouveau American with a bit of fresh, maybe local, produce thrown in. I have enjoyed the meals there. And because I'm a local with old roots here, I will tell you: do not believe the sign on the building that says 'est. 1728' or whatever the year. Back in the day, the owner put that up to make fun of the historical hysteria of Loudoun wannabes and all the locals knew it was a joke. Back then Loudoun had the likes of the DuPonts, the Melons, Symington/Harris, [the Kennedys in the 60s], and other family names you might not recognize. Extraordinarily wealthy folks, the kind that never flaunted wealth because that is gauche and unkind - in other words the really rich and powerful. Well 60 years later, everyone is dead and no one remembers the silly joke about that sign. Now that IS funny!

I've been only for brunch or a Sunday meal. i get the impression these guys are from New York/New Jersey area. They are characters! The food is really well-prepared and delicious. They don't scrimp on ingredient quality and careful cooking technique. Apparently, the first time I went there, the regular waitress had left and a new girl waited on us. Okay, she is very friendly and nice, but she just doesn't 'get' it when it comes to service. I wish these guys luck - the food is good, but the service needs improvement.

Pacific-Rim closed awhile ago. We loved this place so much, we had our wedding reception here. They also hosted several New Year's Eves with music and great, great food. Eventually though, something happened and the place got kinda filthy and the food quality sank. I think this coincided with Tommy the very excellent manager's illness, and his absence for day-to-day management. On top of that the proliferation of restaurants increased the competition, then the economy sank. And the owner suffered through a costly divorce. By the time they closed, we had stopped going - but we had many many happy memories of the good times and fantastic food.

We almost always go to Nagoya for sushi, which is adequate. The sushi is fresh and reliable. If you have ever been to a restaurant serving bad fishy-tasting sushi, you come to appreciate reliably fresh sushi. We have been going since Nagoya first opened so we are greeted warmly. Jin, the owners' son is a bright guy and often sits with us at the sushi bar to discuss finances, technology and yes, even politics. The salad dressing is soooo good that I have purchased it to take home. The steakhouse-style dinners I don't like as much as sushi, but we will sit around the grill for a grandson's birthday or special occasion - we've seen all the tricks with the eggs, smoking-onion-volcanoes, and fiery flashes, but its a nice evening as a treat for others. The meals are reasonably priced and the chefs are always good-natured. Beware, there will always be a birthday or two that will be announced, and you will be expected to sing along. No, singing is NOT their forte LOL. The place is popular because the food and service is adequate.

We have frequented the Fleur de Lis several periods. The "Main House" has amazing wood and is designed with amazing items. The stairway alone is value going to see! We remained at the bungalow next entrance, also possessed by the Fleur de Lis. It accomodates a big household or team that wants to remain together and prepare some of their own meals.

Very silent, but within easy reach to city. Tom is the perfect coordinator. Morning meal was delightful all 3 days. His understanding of the area was beneficial and entertaining!

So I listened to the reviews at I think you're all on drugs, they
said it would be 45min for delivery which ok it wasn't that big of
a deal an hour and 15min later they showed up with cold pizza and wings.
I'm guessing I was last on the delivery stops because our box was
crushed. They used canned mushrooms which is NOT authentic NY style
pizza and it did not stand out. Maybe if it was warm I could tell better.
The wings I ordered hot and they were mild at best. This NYorker was NOT
impressed! I lived near Buffalo my whole life and then NYC while in college
so maybe I'm hard to please when it comes to wings and pizza but I
doubt we will try it again. If someone finds good pizza please let me
know! This was our third pizza joint and it failed along with the other
two!

Worst restaurant I've ever been to. They don't even deserve
one star. The food is terrible and was not cooked all the way. The fried
rice was soggy... yes, soggy... and the veggies were still pretty raw.
Totally gross. My friend tried the sushi and was also disappointed.
He had one peice and complained that the fish was bad. Save yourself
the time and money... I highly recommend trying somewhere else.
