We're known for wood-fired pizzas, mini burgers, fresh salads and chef-inspired entrées, like pan-seared sea bass and oven-roasted filet mignon. It's American bistro fare, crafted from high quality ingredients with a chef at the helm in every kitchen.

Went there for happy hour. The drinks were good, the food was "just okay" and the service was practically non-existent. Worse, they got our order wrong and it when the replacement didn't come, we had to hunt down the manager. Three stars may be generous.

We stopped in for a lateLunch and had very attentive service at one of the bar high tops. We split a spinach salad and a pastrami Rueben sandwich. Both were fresh tasty and well presented. We live in Reston so are no down here a lot but there any a number of great happy hour specials to make a Vivian here worthwhile. Thank you so much for joining us! We are so glad you enjoyed everything and hope to see you again soon!

Like another reviewer said, this is more of a sports bar than a restaurant...but a very nice sports bar. We stopped in for a late dinner and didn't have to wait to be seated. There are some very good local beers on the menu. My wife and I had the DC Corruption and a Hoppy Place IPA...both were excellent. The Buffalo Chicken Sandwich and Margarita Flat Bread pizza were good as well. But what we really liked was the Funnel Fries! A must try. Prices were about what you'd expect: $10-$15 for the food, and $7 for the craft beer. All in all, a very good experience.

Stopped in this restaurant on a whim for a cold beer and lunch. Learned from the waiter that after 9 years, this restaurant will close July 31 for good. Shame, because the brewed beer was very good and the burgers phenomenal. We didn't have one bad lunch item the day we were there - 5 perfectly cooked burgers. Fries could have used an additional 2 minutes in the fryer, but other than that, great stuff. Get there before they close end of July!

Came here around 1100 for Sunday brunch. Able to be seated right away inside, good number of people seated outside as it was a pleasant morning. Itâs important to note that only the brunch is available, there is no alternative breakfast menu. We opted to stay although I donât think we ate our value/cost of meal. Omelette station employee was kind. She was able to prepare two omelettes at a time and we were next in line so it wasnât a long wait. Decent choice of veggies to choose from. Omelette was quite large and filling although somewhat simple in preparation. Long line for rest of food choices. Few choices in salads/dressings. I thought I was getting a Waldorf type salad and disappointed when I got to table as it was potato. Just not what I expected. There were scrambled eggs and bacon, some potatoes, fresh melon. They also had some fried chicken and Mac and cheese. I went through the line twice and each time they were out of the salmon/lox. They werenât very quick and replenishing items. The selections were okay but I wouldnât return. For people who have more of an appetite, it may be worth the visit.

Crowded and loud, but thatâs to be expected in such a popular place. Iâve been happy with my dogfish visits in the past, but was disappointed in the Friday fish fry. The fish was only so so, and paired with Mac and cheese, fries and corn bread, it was a bit of a carb overload. Others in my group had the fish tacos and the shrimp tacos which were excellent.

It's a new place that has just opened. I just got back from dinner and wanted to rave about what a great addition it is to our county.

Sigh - Iâm underwhelmed and disappointed - but it wasnât bad to be clear. Is it a Nola food hangout? Not really. Is the food bad? Gumbo was not good (light colored roux was the first bad sign). Rest was fine - but not memorable. if you want a fish bowl sized drink and decent shellfish steamed in a bag - want to connect with friends and laugh - decent place. If you are pining for good authentic, good Nola food - I feel u will be disappointed. Iâd need to try a few more items to definitively say no - but I wonât be going back. Did not try the crawfish, etouffee, jambalaya (only had chix and sausage) or beignets (served with a strawberry sauce - what?). I know.....if those are outstanding - Iâd try it again but my spidey sense says nooooooReview gives pluses and minuses. Went on Mardi Gras as Bayou Bakery in Arlington closes after lunch and Acadiana in dc closed for food in November (whyyyy?). Had hoped for some related food and or bite of King Cake (none. Zippo. Sad face). Theyâve served in the past our server said so that was a puzzle. Place was packed. Upbeat atmosphere. Nice servers. You can talk at a normal volume which is great actually. Tables covered in paper. They provide - bibs - buckets for shells - tons of napkins and handi-wipes. Restaurant was Clean too which is not always the case in Nola. Ha. If you sit near the windows in the winter you will get cold - feel like a grandma saying that but it is true....folks were putting jackets back on...Beer selection is good - about 20 beers in bottles (lots of Abita) and two cheap beers on tap and one Abita which was fine. Some mixed âfish bowlâ-sized mixed drinks - sigh - thought about a margarita but I really donât need a fishbowl. Iâm guessing this might be a draw though for those reminiscing the seamier side of Bourbon street. Only non-fried vegetable is a side salad. Had gumbo (not special - do not order). Sigh. I ordered boiled shrimp - side of sauce, rice and sliced, grilled andouille. Three types of spices and you can order it mild - medium, etc. big shrimp. You can only order by the pound so I took half home. They were good. The shareable boiled shellfish options looked interesting and you can share. Five options where you can get 2-5 types of boiled seafood (not MD crabs to be clear) - but good choices. Option includes sides like corn- potatoes boiled in the bag. Started in the -$60 ish range for shellfish options and 3-4 sides (split). You can order with three different spice combos and mild to extra spicey. Nice. They offer crawfish, shrimp, two types of crab (king crab) and sausage. Hope next year theyâll add king cake at least. Sigh.

Nice atmosphere, but definitely more open/loud (thus "cafe" I suppose). The wait staff is polite and helpful while the sandwiches/subs are fantastic! I'm a big fan of the New York Yankee (which hurts just to order) and their reuben, but there have been others that I've enjoyed tremendously. It may be difficult to choose (I think there are over 50 options), so consider previewing the menu online before you go. Does get crowded, so consider avoiding the peak hours if you'd like more space and less of a wait.

My daughter and I came for lunch. Parking available in the back. She had the grilled shrimp wrap and I had the fried oyster po-boy. We both had onion rings. All very good. Key lime pie for dessert was delicious and the right size. Will try again with my wife.

American casual restaurant with a micro brewery serving western inspired food in a fun and relaxing atmosphere.
Reviewed By DrRuthK1
I have found Sweetwater Tavern an excellent go to restaurant for outstanding salads. I especially like mine topped off with their territic marinated salmon. Except for one unpleasant evening the service has also been very good. On the particular evening in question we had a waiter who seemed to not want to be bothered with serving and made mistakes in our orders, a very unusual occurence for this very good chain of restaurants which takes pride in service. A chat with the manager gave us a coupon to cover one meal, but of course, while a reasonable thing to do, that doesn't make up for a wasted evening. However, going back after that resulted in much better food and service. It is a favorite of ours for dining out on a patio, although the wait for a table there can be a bit long. This is one of our go-to restaurants.
