Went for lunch, like we have done many times in the past, but we found it not to be open for lunch. This place is very historic and I am sure that the dinners are exceptional. Why they are closed for lunch escapes me.

This is a happening place in Brambleton. The food and service is good. It caters to couples and families especially those who are panning to catch a movie next door. It's a busy place over the weekends so get there early to be seated right away.

This place is so cute! They have so many types of pies, and some savory items as well. The store is small, but they really make the most of the space for the pies and other treats!

Had a great ham and cheese sandwich with a root beer. Lots of choices and a nice selection of local drinks as well as standard ones. The service was very quick and the place was really clean. They have outdoor seating as well. It beats the high prices at the Salamander resort and only a 15 minute walk from the resort.

Ford's receives good ratings on Trip Advisor so we were lured to the restaurant. They were very busy on a Friday and do not accept reservations, but you can call to be placed on a 30 minute wait list. We still arrived at the designated...MoreThank you for taking your time your great experience. Hope to see you soon! Jorge M.

We love this place! The food is great and the ambience is good. We come almost every week for breakfast and we love the spinach, feta and egg on flat bread. The coffee is excellent. Nice outdoor seating area.
8. Brassicas

Reviewed By jetsetMar - Miami, Florida
After a day of winery hopping, my friends and I were in search for a cool place to have a late lunch. Thanks to the many positive reviews, we discovered Brassicas. This roadside café is quaint and charming. The sandwiches were fresh and delicious. We ordered the chicken salad sandwich and roast beef and goat cheese - both solid choices. The potato salad is not your typical salad. It had a spicy spin to it and it was yummy. Our vegan friend was happy with the selection that suited her too. There are outdoor picnic tables which makes the place dog-friendly. Overall, we enjoyed our visit and highly recommend this local café.
9. Ciro Ristorante

Ben and Mrs Too took a very enjoyable day trip to and about Loudoun County, Virginia this past weekend, and had an excellent lunch at Ciro Ristorante. The restaurant is another of the pearls we have come across which, though located at the anchor end of a large shopping mall, offers surpassingly good food. Ciro's offers various Italian dishes, as well as a full variety of popular pizza pies. The owner is Neapolitan, and serves a very extensive menu of Italian favorites shaded with a touch of his native Naples.
The restaurant is quite modern in design, and features a revolving door entrance. The weather was bright and seasonal when we visited, but on a windy January day or a sweltering August one, I am sure the advantage of that door would be quite apparent. The premises are extremely well maintained, and the staff are uncommonly welcoming.
Mrs Too had an unsweetened iced tea and rigatoni with hot Italian sausage and peppers. Ben asked for his usual old fashion cocktail to go with an order of saltimbocca, one of his favorite dishes. Our entrees were delicious, but Ben must state that traditional cocktails are not Ciro’s strong suite. His drinks were not unpleasant by any means, but decidedly not true old fashions. We ate and ate and ate, then went home with enough leftovers for dinner.
Elmer, the host, and Diana took great care of us, checking back to see that we had everything we needed, but not often enough to pester us.
All in all, an exceptional meal at a moderate cost in a comfortable setting, presented attractively and served admirably. What more is there to expect?

As an american ex-pat living in Europe, I occasionally visit this restaurant while visiting my mother in Mburg. You could categorize me as a real foodie and wine lover, as I always try to seek out the finer gastronomic treats in any part of the world. The wine list at the Goodstone has always been impressive (in my opinion one of the finest in Virginia and has won a Wine Spectator award the last two years) but now the food has been taken to a new level of culinary excellence. The young chef (I believe his name is Eric) in his early 30s is extremely talented and every dish of the 4 course menu was cooked to perfection. The presentation was beautiful and matched the beautiful flavors and colors carefully displayed in the dishes, and the ingredients were absolutely top notch (he tries to source the ingredients locally). I was very pleasantly surprised about the vast improvement over the past year and am much looking forward to our next visit at the Goodstone restaurant!
