Fantastic Food - Great Service
DESCRIPTION: Jaleo is one of the best places in the area. I've gone at least a half-dozen times. If you don't mind the wait, try the paella - but make sure you come hungry! Lot's of seafood and saffron - the rice is creamy and perfect. They also have one of the best selection of tapas you will find anywhere. I highly recommend the steamed mussels. They also have a smoked salmon dish that is incredible. If it is cold out, you can also try the fishermans chowder - it is a great starter any time. The waiters and waitresses treat you very well and the service is top class.

RECOMMENDED DISHES : pear and sherry dessert

DESCRIPTION: We have visited this establishment several times and thier service & food have always been outstanding. Thier live music (similar to Gypsy Kings) Friday & Saturdays is great! Although, the dance floor is a bit small for the crowd that attends.

Nice Change
DESCRIPTION: Finally a cool bar and lounge that has personality and not a Reston Town Center feel. The Bar has a warm feel and the dining room is a nice change from the previous Il Cigno. Can't wait till the patio opens! I think their target market is 25-45 crowds...It will rock!

Superb
DESCRIPTION: The revival of the former restaurant with the same name and same owners in a new and spectacular location. Terrific cuisine, way above the average at an value price. This is "Gourmet Chinese" at its best. Cozy atmosphere, and superb food preparation/presentation and service. A place to take your "best girl" or maybe the boss. Reasonable but not cheap.

Smoking and non-smoking sections amply separated. Large and beautiful bar area. Private dining rooms for small and large parties. Front entrance for bar/smoking section. Rear entrance for main (non-smoking) dining room. By far, the best Asian/Chinese dining in Hampton Roads.

Excellent Food, Heavenly Dim Sum
DESCRIPTION: We were delighted to find authentic dim sum here while on vacation. We have eaten dim sum in New York City, Philly, San Francisco and Vancouver and this place is definitely a competitor for places you will find in those cities (and beats many of them for quality and for the number of items). It was so good we came everyday during the week we were here and we left with one large and two small coolers filled with dim sum. If you have never eaten dim sum, you really must try it - in a superior restaurant like Forbidden Cit
