Goodstone lived up to its reputation as a both a wonderful culinary experience with exceptional service. Our sommelier walked us through the thoughtful wine pairings, enhancing our experience by picking up flavor cues. Each dish of the chef's tasting was artfully plated. We look forward to our next evening at Goodstone.
Great find, cocktails are great went for the Lobster Crab Bisque loaded with meat yummy then the Pork Tenderloin Roulade with Lamb sausage stuffing sooo tender delicious closing with Caramel Apple Cheesecake good night
As usual, the food and service were superb. I had the lobster pasta and my companion had the mushroom risotto. Both were perfectly prepared and presented. One of the things the Goodstone does particularly well is bread. I don't normally eat the bread at restaurants, but I do here and I'm never disappointed. The amuse bouche was a cheesy biscuit that was delicious. Desserts are also a specialty. We had the chocolate mousse, very uniquely prepared in a torus - not the usual pot. We started the evening with a glass of wine in front of the fire before moving to our table. There is no place like the Goodstone in this area.
Dinner was so delicious - we called it light-French, meaning Fresh herbs, cooked perfectly, beautiful presentation, and creative. Some French restaurants can be loaded with butter and cream and salt. Not here. The flavors were from the herbs, fish, hen, pasta etc. we didn’t want the meal to end. The sea bass and hen were both amazing. And both desserts were delicious.
Absolutely delicious and well worth a visit!!
The service and decor here are wonderful. Everyone was incredibly friendly and the conservatory is a beautiful place to have a romantic dinner. The food we had was also very good, but we weren't overly impressed by any of the dishes, despite the cheapest option being a two course menu costing ~$80. In addition, the wine list here is not well balanced in terms of price. Unless you're willing to spend $110+ on a single bottle, you will have a very hard time finding a suitable option (there were very few $60-80 bottles in general, with some specific categories lacking these options entirely). Overall, for the price of the meal here, I would have expected to enjoy the experience a bit more.
Wow. I've been twice and the chef's tasting menu with wine pairing is nothing short of incredible. Generous pours of delicious wine, perfectly paired with awe inducing food. This place is amazing. Shout out to the sommelier, who raised the experience up a level.
The food is great! Truly one of the best French restaurants you can eat at. It is good, clean eating. The wine pairing is exceptional, along with the wine itself. My wife hates red wines and they were able to find a red that she liked. Though it is not well known, it is definitely better than any restaurant in DC.
Awesome meal! We were the only ones there, but staff was wonderful and food was phenomenal. Highly recommend!!
They have the most amazing food in all of Northern Virginia and their service is deficient. If the food was not so good we would have written them off.
