Glory Days (Fairfax)
After being forced by my friends to come check this place out, I was actually really impressed! I have a personal rule: DO NOT DINE IN CHAIN RESTAURANTS! After being convinced, I decided that I should break my own rule for once and try this place out! And I am glad I did. My friends and I were extremely hungry. As we walked in, we were immediately greeted! That was a good start! Then, we were taken to our booth. As we were walking to our table, I noticed that the restaurant was extremely clean which you normally don't see chain restaurants. Shena, our server greeted the table and brought our drinks right away! We ordered the prime rib steak with steamed broccoli and carrots. The steaks were cooked perfectly and thy were very tender. The presentation looked really nice and overall, the experience was amazing! One of the managing partners came over to the table and introduced himself which shows that this restaurant emphasizes on guest relations! They have wings night which I need to check out. Im a huge diehard Redskins fan and they broadcast just about every game at their sports themed bar.
Definitely worth going back and I hope the experience will be the same next time I go back!

Martins Tavern (Georgetown)
My friend and I went to Martin's for dinner. We were immediately greeted by the hostess. We were sat in the famous booth 3 where JFK proposed to Jackie which was pretty cool. And as soon as we were sat i noticed that the NBC news Anchor Chris Mathews and his wife were sitting in the next booth over.
The place has a great atmosphere and it is often that you might just notice someone famous there.
As far as the food goes, we ordered three apps and two main courses.
The three apps were the mussels, Pan seared Sesame Tuna and Lump Crab Cocktail that was were amazing. As far as the entrees goes we ordered the Meatloaf and Chicken Marsala. I was not impressed with the Meatloaf hence why i gave them only 4 stars on other sites. As a chef, I have seen many types of meatloaf I know other places can make better meatloaf. The Chicken Marsala was sensational and plenty enough for us to take home.
The service was on point and our server Alejandro made sure that everything was delivered on time. Our drinks were filled as soon as they were empty. This place has been around since 1933. Its been passed down from Grandfather to Grandson. Its the oldest family owned restaurant in DC. And just about every American President has dined at Martin's since the 30's.
Their consistency with their food and service that's been around for that long, Is impressive.
This is one of my top favorite restaurants in DC ranked at number 10.
Always make reservations. They are a very busy restaurant.
I will def go back.

My first blog about food!!
Hello Everyone. My name is Sebastian Oveysi and I am the Executive Chef and Managing Partner of Amoo's House of Kabob In Mclean VA. My family has owned Amoo's since 2007 and we have come along way since then. Currently, Amoo's is ranked one of top five restaurants in McLean on yelp.com and tripadvisor.com. Amoo's was also awarded the best restaurant in McLean by The Greater Mclean Organization last month.
The restaurant is doing really well and that is the result of dedication and devotion that my family gives to Amoos. Starting with my fathers golden touch to my mothers lip smacking recipes.
We are continuing to grow through our delicious food and unforgettable service along with intense PR and marketing strategies.
But as much as I love to talk about Amoos and how well we are doing, I think I will dedicate this blog to talk about other restaurants in the area that I really enjoy. I will leave Facebook, Instagram and yelp to talk about Amoos.
Most of the blogs you'll see I post here will not be about places that I am welling to try or because they are new, but rather about restaurants that are very established and have been around for a long time. I will talk about why these restaurants are still operating and successful and what's my favorite of their selections.
And Finally, other blogs I post will be about recipes and dishes that I personally love to cook and share with my friends and family. I will always make recommendations and suggestions.
looking forward to see everyone on here reading my blogs.
P.S Im completely open to ideas on how to write better. So if you have a suggestion, please feel free to write me, as I have tons of room for improvements.
