Fdb Eatery - Falls Church

Unfortunately, there was a disconnect between OpenTable and the restaurant, which meant our 12:30 reservation was not honored due to overbooking. We had to wait 30 minutes for a table, but I do appreciate that the restaurant took our order promptly, so we didn’t have to wait long for our food. However, I noticed other guests waiting for at least 30 to 45 minutes for their meals, and it seemed like the staff was quite short-handed.

The brunch menu was the only option available, but the French toast was thick and delicious, accompanied by a lovely berry compote. The breakfast pizza, topped with ice and speck, was a unique idea, and the crust had a wonderful texture. My mother-in-law ordered the Eggs Benedict, which was a generous portion. Unfortunately, our meals didn't all come out at the same time. I hope this place can address its service issues because it definitely has potential.

This was one of the worst experiences I've had in a long time. We made a reservation for Mother's Day, but we were left waiting for 15 minutes before anyone acknowledged us. Once we finally sat down, it took another 20 minutes to receive our drinks. To make matters worse, my tea was incorrect, my coffee came without sugar, and they only provided one glass of water for the three of us. We requested more water but never received it. It took nearly an hour for our food to arrive, and my 3-year-old was getting increasingly restless (all he had was one slice of French toast). We arrived at 11:30 a.m. and left completely dissatisfied by 1:30 p.m. When I tried to express my concerns to the waitress, she simply stated that it was busy. However, there were only about 14 tables occupied in the entire restaurant, and being Mother's Day is no excuse for such poor service. I will not be returning.

Food was good, burgers were average but the frozen custard was amazing! Will return sometime just to eat dessert. One can order ice cream cakes there too. Was a decent find for 2 families with teens.

This was a return visit for us on a Saturday at lunchtime. We had been here just a few months before and really enjoyed our meal. What a disappointment! They have switched over to a Saturday brunch menu in the afternoon. If you wanted to select something from the regular lunch menu at 1:00, you were out of luck. We didn’t want to go hunting for another place to eat, so everyone in our party of four agreed to order from the brunch menu. Our meals were delivered one at a time with only one server who was host, waiter, and server, we wondered if he was back in the kitchen doing the cooking too! When I asked for a bit of cheese on my scrambled eggs he said sure, we can do that, but when the order arrived, no cheese. I ordered challah toast, it arrived regular toast. To be fair, the others in our party were very happy with their meals that were served as ordered. Now that we know they only do brunch on a Saturday afternoon, if we are craving a sandwich we’ll go somewhere else. The food was good and fresh but the service was so so. I’m not inclined to recommend this restaurant.
