Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant- Reston

Honestly the best place to eat in a 25 mile radius at the very minimum. We take the sauces home to use in our cooking. Service is great. The chicken is bar none the best you can get in the state in its category. Sides are also unique and tasty to boot. I would say the drinks are underwhelming but literally everything else is 10/10.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Nando's Peri-Peri, and I must say their grilled chicken is truly amazing. From the moment the plate arrived at my table, I was impressed. The chicken was perfectly grilled, with a tantalizing aroma of Peri-Peri spices that had my taste buds dancing with anticipation. The first bite confirmed my expectations. The chicken was tender, juicy, and infused with a delightful blend of smoky, spicy, and tangy flavors. The Peri-Peri sauce added a unique and zesty kick that elevated the dish to another level. Whether you prefer mild or extra hot, Nando's offers a range of spice levels to suit your taste. The side dishes, from their flavorful coleslaw to their crispy fries, complemented the chicken beautifully. The restaurant's vibrant and welcoming atmosphere added to the overall dining experience. The attentive and friendly service at Nando's Peri-Peri made me feel right at home. If you're a fan of grilled chicken with a twist, Nando's is a must-visit. Their commitment to quality and flavor is truly commendable, and I can't wait to return for another mouthwatering meal.

The PERi-PERi sauce brought me here! I've had PERi-PERi sauce before, as a free giveaway from an embassy on Around the World Embassy Day about five years ago and FINALLY made it to a Nando's location. They have different spiciness levels that you choose when ordering your food since everything is cooked in PERi-PERi sauce. It all comes with 25+ choices in beverages inside one of those awesome coke product dispensers. The intererior of the restaurant is interesting with all the colors and cool ceiling design. There's some pretty neat story murals on the walls too. If you get there early enough, you may be able to grab a table outside because there are only a handful of tables available.

I love Nando's in DC, so I had to try the VA location. The food was excellent, however they had no fountain iced tea (which the team neglected to tell me when I was ordering). Also, it took some time for them to bus tables even though it seemed like there were enough people working. Having said that, food = excellent, staff = friendly. And there was so much, I couldn't finish everything, but I left there very happy and very full.

Really delicious appetizers, dinners, and desserts. Great and attentive staff. Clean and easy to order from the menu. They have a QR code menu or a physical one that you can use. We had the pita and hummus with peri Peri sauce which was perfect and the bread was warm for an appetizer. I got the chicken Caesar wrap which was so fresh and flavorful and rich that I could only eat half, and the kids meal was perfect for our daughter with grilled cheese, apple slices, and a brownie.
