The Grilled Salmon Salad was good, with three reservations: (1), although it was a large, fresh salad, the amount of dressing that came with it was way too little. One tiny tub of dressing isn't enough for a good-sized dinner salad. (2), there wasn't nearly enough salmon. The portion of salmon was about the size of a 3 Musketeers candy bar, or about 1"x1"x3". (3), I also had to pay extra to get a little sliced cucumber, shredded carrot, and a few bite-sized pieces of avocado.
So although the salad was fresh, tasty, and big enough for a meal, it was kind of pricey, and needed more dressing and salmon. 3/5 stars.

I am HOOKED (pun intended) on this Salmon! Fo me, I pref it with rice or mashed potatoes. It is simply savory. This restaurant is not only affordable, but it is my new go-to restaurant for Broiled Salmon!

This was a waste of money. Had strong fishy smell and the pasta was dry and barely had sauce. Lots of pasta with little shrimp. What a disappointment.

My favorite place in Fairfax!
Food is delicious always, never had a bad meal there, strongly recommend the calamari, fried zucchini, chopped salad, scampi, chocolate mousse ...or anything on the menu, really..!
Been going there for over 15 years, always great, and almost panicked when they had to close over Covid lol
I adore this place!!!!
The owners are darlings and fuss over you once they know you and the place itself is just cozy and familiar and you can pick bar for casual, outside for air and games, dinner section for more formal and they have a private party local downstairs.
Just pick your section based on mood!
And the Moscow Mules in the bar... !
I love this place. Love love love.
