Luau Gardens Restaurant
Sep 2, 2009 by Maccini Pete from Herndon, V

Overall Rating: 8
Food:[8] • Service:[8] • Atmosphere:[8]

• Great polishing.
• No Karhumaa sauce!

“The combination fried rice is off the roof. Years ago it used to be fried cat, but they have since cleaned up their act here. I miss the brown bread which was white bread sprayed with a little brown sauce, get the Luau Garden Special drink, definitely one of the best.”

Luciano's Restaurant

Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[10]

• Nice atmosphere.
• Wish it was larger.

“It had the best seafood. I was hesitant to get seafood at first because of it being an Italian rest but I am so glad that I did. I even met the owner- he is very friendly and may I add he is nice to look at too!”

Matsutake Japanese Restaurant

Overall Rating: 5

• Service.
• Fatty food.

“I was a huge addict of the Matsutake because of the great Hibachi-food (very light prepared without much oil, mayonnaise, etc.). Since yesterday I cannot recommend it anymore: Now the Matsutake is one out of many Japanese steakhouses where you get this very fatty style Hibachi. The service is still great - therefore it is a shame!”

Matsutake Japanese Restaurant

Food:[10] • Service:[9] • Atmosphere:[9]

• Very inexpensive, great value, great quality for the price.
• Lunch is buffet-oriented; don't order off the menu during lunch.

“Please believe me, when I tell you Matsutake is a well-kept secret in Nova. Don't confuse the buffet with what you've experienced elsewhere at all-you-can eat sushi restaurants; Matsutake's sushi is fresh, delicious, and great quality. It's not premier sushi, but it certainly is great sushi. The selection is incredible. The price is extremely low. If you want proof just go to Matsutake during the lunch buffet--you'll be hard pressed to find a seat! The service is fine; I've never had a rude experience. (If you are a small party during the lunch buffet, don't expect to get a big table.) Great sushi, great value, you'll be back.”

Cantina D'Italia

• Wait staff and food.
• None that really warrants mentioning.

“This is one of those place you just feel comfortable in. We probably eat here every two weeks and I frequently bring business groups here for a meal. Have always found the service to be excellent and the food the same. Would highly recommend the Cantina.”

Russia House Restaurant

Overall Rating: 7
Food:[7] • Service:[9] • Atmosphere:[8]

• Lovely atmosphere and decor, with a very friendly staff.
• Over-priced food, cramped tables, more emphasis on vodka than food.

“Lovely atmosphere and decor, with a very friendly staff. Food was good, but very over-priced and the tables were too small. 20 kinds of flavored vodka were on the menu.”

Food:[4] • Service:[5] • Atmosphere:[3]

• Live music if you get there at the right time.
• Smelly, dirty, people have obviously thrown up there, bad food and service.

“This is a place for college students to listen to bands and drink. The food was terrible, the atmosphere black and dirty feeling and smelled of puke. Not attractive for an adult. There service was slow and there was not music to make up for the dimal surroundings the night we went.”

Food:[4] • Service:[6] • Atmosphere:[9]

• Great games, fun atmosphere.
• Too crowded, lousy food.

“This place is great fun for kids. Games galore! The place is a bit too crowded and the pizza is too greasy, but it is a fun place to take the little ones or the bigs ones for lots of games. Eat somewhere else first and go for the games.”

Food:[9] • Service:[6] • Atmosphere:[5]

• Chicken Fajita Quesadilla.
• Can't get some to-go items in the restaurant, but the menu brags you can!

“I'm used to lots of good Mexican food, since I'm from the Left Coast. The Chicken Fajitas Quesadilla I had rocks. I came here looking for something better than the fancy hotels I'm stuck in. It met the challenge. Atmosphere? Not much. Service? Pretty good. Food? Near the top. Price? Great!”

Matsutake Japanese Restaurant
Aug 16, 2007 by Laura from herndon

Overall Rating: 8
Food:[8] • Service:[7] • Atmosphere:[8]

• The sushi was good and reasonably priced.
• When busy, our table was somewhat neglected (our water glasses ran low a few times).

“After reading the negative review left by the other patron, I wanted to let people know that I have been to Matsutake several times and I will continue to return. Service has always been friendly, and the food is always tasty. Perhaps the best time to go is around noon when they have a buffet going on, where they offer a wide selection of fresh made sushi, some salad, various Tempura vegetables, and other delectable selections. Please try Matsutake for yourself instead of taking the word of one bad experience.”

Tortilla Restaurant The
Apr 6, 2007 by HHSGrad from Herndon, VA

Overall Rating: 10

• Price, selection.
• It can be very busy at night during the weekend...

“I grew up teething on the tortilla chips here, so I¿m probably biased. I love this place. Once you've eaten there a few times, and spoken with whoever's running the register depending on the day, this place is just all around comfortable. Great food for the value, great selection, and they're always willing to do special orders. It's not really authentic Mexican food, but mores Americanized taxmen. Try the Manchaca beef Nachos!”

Cantina D'Italia

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[9] • Service:[9] • Atmosphere:[10]

• Love the food!
• Booths need to be replaced; you sink in them a little.

“Cantina's food is consistently very good. For lunch you can definitely get in and out during your lunch hour. 99.9% of the time the service is excellent when all their staff is present. Even the owners will pitch in. I once ordered a pastry for a business function (coming from their vendor) and it did not arrive on time. The owner went overboard to provide me with an in house substitute that was more than adequate for my needs. To me this was above and beyond the call of duty. I will be going back for a very long time. ”

• Loved the pasta.
• Wish it was more spacious.

“Loved all the pasta... I recommend going with a date or family and everyone getting something different so you can have a little of everything. The food woke up my taste buds.”

Food:[5] • Service:[6] • Atmosphere:[8]

• In the past food great.
• Slow service.

“At lunch the service was slow. Ordered an appetizer and the waiter brought it with my salad and the main course all at the same time. I had them hold the main course till I was ready and when served it was hot but the breading on the veal was soft.”

• It's Location?
• In Summary, "Ugh"

“I don't understand why this place is so popular. We gave this joint 3 chances & all 3 times it was a major disappointment. The food tastes awful, looks awful and smells awful. An added bonus: if you like dining under bright, fluorescent light with no atmosphere, go here. Never again will I subject my digestive system to this fare. ”

Mr Pepperoni
Apr 16, 2005 by Dianne B . from Cleveland, OH

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[8]

• A superior pizza, also the best greek dining in the area.

“I have been to many pizza restaurants and I must say that Mr. Pepperoni has a perfect blend of subs, wraps, unique and customized pizzas, Greek meals, Italian meals, and salads that few can resist. I took my family to dinner there many times, and each visit was an absolutely satisfying experience. We were treated expertly and courteously, and were able to customize our meals to our own liking because the food is made fresh all the time, every day, as it is ordered. I recommend Mr. Pepperoni because I took a recommendation from my friends who go for lunch there daily, and are never unsatisfied. Both quality and affordable, Mr. Pepperoni is an excellent restaurant for everyone.”
