"Stuck in Mickey-land for a convention, a group of us were looking for a Sunday brunch spot. Oscar's at the Waldorf sounded like what we wanted and off we went. Although I'm not a lover of buffets, this one looked amazing, with more variety than usual, including a smoked salmon bar, prosciutto bar and honey dripping from a honeycomb! There were a lot of family's with kids, so it was a bit noisy, but that didn't really detract...everything the group of 4 tried, we loved. Only 2 things that were a little strange were that the cost of the buffet only included Mimosas, not **** Marys and there were no Eggs Benedict on the buffet??What impressed me most though was the commitment to making the customer happy. When I got to the salmon bar, it was empty, although two staff members I asked told me it would be restocked. When I mentioned it to our waiter, he came back and said they'd run out, which was disappointing. The manager came over an apologized, said they'd even sent over to the next door Hikton but they were out til Monday...not what I wanted to hear. 15 minutes later the manager appeared with a plate heaped with the best smoked salmon I've had in a long time....THAT is service."

"I recently had what might be the worst dining experience of my life at Lost Dog Cafe in McLean. Even a school cafeteria could serve better food. If it were possible to give zero stars, I would, but the friendly and attentive service earned the restaurant a single star. That kind lady might very well be the sole reason this place remains in business. **Atmosphere:** This cafe is conveniently located next to a Safeway in a mall, with plenty of parking available. However, the overall vibe felt run-down and gloomy. **Food:** We were looking for a dog-friendly cafe and had heard mixed reviews about Lost Dog, so I had high hopes—especially since it’s a chain. We ordered the Crab Dog Dip, The Fat Molly, and the Philly Philly, alongside some Dog Collars (their onion rings). Our total was around $48.18, and that turned out to be a pricey lesson in why certain places should be avoided. The crab dip was excessively oily with barely any crab present; it was just a mushy, greasy cheese blend. The garlic bread was dry and tough. The Dog Collars were poorly breaded, some were burnt, and the accompanying sauce was mediocre and greasy. Both sandwiches were a disaster! The meat was so dry that it could’ve been mistaken for jerky from medieval times, and the funky, gamey smell only added to the experience. The pitas and baguettes were stale and tough, the veggies looked discolored and old, and everything was under-seasoned—I felt like I was eating hospital food meant for low-sodium diets. Even more puzzling, the sandwiches were so greasy that oil dripped onto the tables and our laps. We found everything to be inedible. My boyfriend and I managed a single bite from each dish before we left, as our appetite had completely vanished. **Service:** The only redeeming aspect of our visit was the service. We dined on a Sunday around 2:30 PM, and our server was incredibly warm and caring, which included being very welcoming to our dog. Thank you for that! They do provide milk bones and water bowls for furry friends, so if you’re inclined to spend almost $50 just to sit on the patio with your dog, this might be the place for you. Overall, it was a terrible experience. I should have just opted for Subway and enjoyed a meal in the parking lot instead; their sandwiches actually taste like food."

"I just called to order a gift card for my father for the holidays. I spoke with a gentleman I believe named Chris and he was fantastic. While they usually do not take charges over the phone and normally do E-Gift Cards I let him know the circumstance of me living in California and my father not having active email that an e-card was not likely going to work. At every opportunity him to say no he found a way to say yes. At the end of the call he then lets me know that instead of mailing this out he or someone from his establishment would drop it at my father's residence. I have been in the hospitality/restaurant business for 30 years and this gentleman that represented TPR today is an amazing representation of hospitality and superior customer service. The next time I am back east I will be sure to come in and enjoy a meal at your establishment."

"This is a lovely old world Italian restaurant that reminds of another time. It was a snowy day and the restaurant wasn't crowded for lunch, but the food was great. The bread was fresh and delicious. The homemade minestrone was light and fragrant. The shrimp were excellent. It was my girlfriend's birthday, and our waiter, on his own initiative, brought a delicious dessert with a message in chocolate. We will come back in any case."

"We were warmly welcomed at the door by Paul, who introduced himself with a friendly demeanor. Rocky and Rob also greeted us, making us feel like we had known everyone for years, despite it being our first visit. The food was exceptionally well-prepared, and every dish we tried was delicious. The gnocchi was incredibly tender and practically melted in our mouths, the bolognese was outstanding, and Nonna’s ragu tasted just like it came from my grandmother's kitchen. The prices were very reasonable, offering great value. Many dishes even had suggested wine pairings on the menu, which we always appreciate. We can't say enough good things about this restaurant, and we’re certain we will be returning many times in the future. Thank you for a fantastic experience! Karen and Martin Aschner"

"We came for my friend's birthday. It was extremely disappointing. The food was awful and overpriced. There was also a limited choice. The Caesar salad was awful and full of yellow salads that made it bitter. I haven't been to the restaurant in years and it's clearly gone downhill. I spoke to a friend and he had the same opinion. Service was ok but slow. Actually the busboy forgot to give one of us water and when we asked for it, he argued with us and said he had given it. It was really a waste of Moey, but more importantly, ruined the birthday party."

"Went with the family for dinner before a movie across the street. Got the pull apart cheese bread and fried calamari as appetizers and they were excellent. Ordered 2 pizzas, a simple sausage and pepperoni and an Italian beef and giardinare which was absolutely amazing! Everyone had their fill and the entire experience was very pleasant. Service was great and atmosphere is what you would expect from a higher caliber pizza establishment. Top that off with soft drinks and draft beer to put the cherry on top of a wonderful evening. Highly recommend this as one of my favorite local pizza places. Parking: Plenty of free parking in this free standing building's lot Wheelchair accessibility: Close spots, ramps and accessible doors"

"After giving us only the options of 7:15 or 7:45, not 7:30 as we wanted. When we arrived for our 7:15 reservation they kept us waiting half an hour. Although they were apologetic, they did not offer us a free after dinner coffee or any other sort of tangible apology. That kind of service does not encourage a return visit. The rest of the service was good, other than the waiter trying to suggest the Dom Perignon Champagne for $350 (he didn't tell us the price)."

"I have been going to Frank’s since I was a kid when it opened in the early 80s. My friends and I used to love to get a slice and sit in the booths before they expanded and renovated. So many great memories!Now I live far away but spend the summers in PC. One of my favorite things to do is ordering from Frank’s. The lunch specials are amazing, and they always give wonderful garlic balls with the specials. And I just ordered a salad pizza with roasted red peppers. It was so amazing that I ordered the same thing the next day. Now I can’t wait to try the salad pizza with gorgonzola because their Gorgonzola salads are delicious. If you like supporting local establishments, Frank’s will not disappoint!Thanks for staying open all these years!!!!!"

"Horrendous customer service. I spent over $50 for a salad and a pizza and a side of spaghetti for my kid. I asked for salad dressing on the side and parmesan on side for spaghetti. No dressing. No parmesan. My kid refused to eat the pasta and well who eats a salad with no dressing. Called the restaurant and they said sorry, we can 't bring your dressing. I asked if I 'm expected to eat a plain salad after spending $18 on this salad plus close to $10 in delivery fees, service fee and that 's not including the tip. They still said ummm sorry. I asked to speak to the manager and he said he was the manager. It was like speaking to a teenager. Ummm sorry. This is ridiculous. I spent over $50 and couldn 't even enjoy my dinner with my kids. No salad dressing for my $18 salad. What kind of restaurant is this???Update: The manager said he would try to get a driver to bring my salad dressing. They never showed up."

"Wow! At first glance, I thought this was hole in the wall and was skeptical to try it but I am so glad I did. The food was excellent!! My husband ordered the double decker turkey BLT and it was huge. The picture might no do it justice. My husband normally does not have an issue finishing his meal but he struggled with this and left half of the fries. He really enjoyed the sandwich. I ordered the Capri salad because I wasn't super hungry and wanted something on the lighter side. It was so much bigger than I expected. I thoroughly enjoyed it and my only recommendation would be to put a little more of the balsamic dressing on it. We also ordered garlic balls for an appetizer. Again, the portion was large. They came out with fresh grated parmesan and had wonderful flavor. We had to take them back to the hotel room because it was too much to finish. This place is only 10 minutes off the strip and I would highly recommend anyone stop by. The food and service were excellent!"

"This restaurant is fantastic—it's so much more than just a café! Almost the entire menu is gluten-free, and their gluten-free pizza is exceptional. The carrot ginger soup is incredible, and the pasta with stir-fried vegetables, including portobello mushrooms and baby spinach, is delightful. The chef is accommodating and prepares dishes to your liking, and he truly knows how to cook!"

"Nello Restaurant is Delicious Cool. Nello Restaurant on Madison Avenue in NYC is located in the heart of the world's best shopping district. It is across from Hermes. The people watching from the sidewalk cafe is out of this world as is the views from inside the elegantly decorated decor. I had the lobater ravioli which as heaven. The lobster was so fresh and there was so much of it! My boyfriend had the sea bass (we love fish). For the appetizer we shared the chicken liver dish which was a meal in and of itself. We sipped on Bellini's and enjoyed the cool vibe of the restaurant. People were beautifully dressed and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. The music was cool. The waiter was knowledgable and friendly. The drinks were heavy handed pours. We dined and lingered and laughed and let satisfied. The owner, Nello Balan, introduced himself and check in on us to make sure everything was ok. He was friendly and well spoken. We loved our meal. We would definately go back!"
