Beautiful and very accesible for families to enjoy. There are good stores but not too many however, it’s a great place to walk outside in a safe environment. Good places to eat specially for a quick coffee break.

Beautiful and clean area with plenty of great restaurants and shops. The atmosphere is lively but still relaxed. Parking is easy — there are several garages nearby, and it’s well organized. Perfect spot for a walk, shopping, or dinner out.

Great place to live. Has everything: shopping, dining, grocery, drinks, parks, entertainment, hospital, hair salons, etc. It’s clean, safe, walkable, has a metro stop, and is along the W&OD trail.

I love Reston. Walkable with multiple high quality restaurants - hard to decide between them. Always something going on in the square.

Very nice town center. I have been coming here for years. There is plenty of parking in the garages. A wide variety of restaurants to dessert places and retail as well. Located right off the exit this is a safe place to bring children as well. They block off the roads and there’s plenty of policeman around.

Visited on a Friday afternoon. Free 1 hour parking. Reasonable parking prices for the garages. Quieter than expected for a city-like area, like not too many cars or people out and about. Pretty and clean--you can tell it's newer construction. Very walkable with plenty of eats and shopping. Nice place to visit for the area.

I’ve been a frequent visitor to Reston Town Center for years, and it always delivers something new each time. It’s become the heart of modern Reston, with its lively mix of shops, restaurants, and gathering spots. Every visit feels different—sometimes it’s a quick coffee, other times a long evening with friends. 🛍 Shopping & Dining One of the biggest draws for me is the variety of shopping and dining. From big names to smaller, unique spots, there’s always something to explore. The dining scene is strong—you can do anything from a casual bite to a full night out. I’ve had plenty of great meals here, and it keeps me coming back. 🎭 Evenings & Events RTC works well for dinners and evenings out, but it’s not a late-night party destination. The energy comes more from its restaurants, wine bars, and seasonal events—like concerts, festivals, and even ice skating in the winter—than from traditional nightlife. It’s lively enough without ever feeling overwhelming. 🚶 Walkability & Atmosphere The setting is clean, safe, and very walkable. I like being able to stroll the plazas, grab a seat outside, and just enjoy the vibe. Even when it gets crowded—especially on weekends or event nights—it’s more energetic than chaotic. 🏞 History & Changing Vibe What’s interesting to me is how much RTC reflects Reston’s shift over the years. Back in the day, Reston had a more non-commercial, community-centered vibe—quiet lakes, trails, and green spaces defined it. Town Center changed that, creating a bustling, urban energy in the middle of the suburbs. For me, both versions of Reston are cool in their own way. It was cool then, and it’s still cool now. ✨ Overall Experience As someone who visits often, I can say that Reston Town Center never disappoints. Whether I’m here for shopping, dining, a community event, or just a casual walk, it works for every mood. RTC has become a landmark in its own right, a symbol of how Reston has grown while still keeping its community spirit alive.

I’ve taken friends, family, and dates here and it’s the perfect spot for all of them! With a wide variety of wine to choose from you’ll definitely find something you’ll like! The large plate options take about 30-40 minutes to prepare so order those first if you do! Otherwise the tapas are plenty and come out quickly in less than 10 minutes.

Came here for a lunch date with my husband, and while I’ll admit everything was absolutely delicious, I’m personally not a huge fan of tapas-style dining. Yes, we ordered 10+ dishes for just the two of us and yes, we eventually got full — but I’m the type of person who, if something tastes amazing, I want a full portion to really satisfy my inner foodie binge. Small plates leave me a little frustrated. That said, the flavors were spot on across the board. Each dish was well-prepared and tasty, and I can see why people love this place, especially if you enjoy pairing tapas with wine. Service was fine — not bad, not fantastic. Waiting 5–10 minutes for drink refills got a bit annoying, but it wasn’t a deal-breaker. Would I go back? Probably if friends suggested it. Would I recommend it? Yes, if you like wine and enjoy the tapas experience. For me personally, since I don’t drink and prefer larger portions, it’s not exactly my style — but still a solid and enjoyable spot.

I love sitting at this bar and ordering a bunch of small plates. My favorites are the papas bravas and the potato pie thing but all the cheese and charcuterie was delish too. I haven’t had a bad bartender here yet! I’ve prob been 5 times in the last year. The atmosphere is cool, the hooks under the bar for coats and purses are amazing, eating outside with my dog was very nice too. 10s across the board for me:)

From the moment I stepped into Barcelona, it felt like a celebration! The place was buzzing with energy, the music and décor created such a festive vibe, and I instantly felt like I was part of something special. The staff were not just friendly—they made the whole night fun, almost like they were hosts at a party. The laughter, the clinking glasses, and the cheerful atmosphere made it one of the most memorable nights I’ve had in a long time. The food and drinks only added to the excitement—everything was delicious, colorful, and full of flavor. Every plate that arrived at the table felt like a little event of its own. Honestly, I had the best time of my life here. If you’re looking for more than just a meal—if you want an experience that feels festive, joyful, and unforgettable—Barcelona is the place to be!

I had an incredible experience thanks to our server Josue. From the moment we were seated, they were attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. They anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, offered great recommendations, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. It’s rare to come across someone so professional and passionate about their work-our experience was made memorable because of their amazing service. Highly recommend, and I’ll definitely be back!

Amazing food! They all taste great. A little bit pricey for small plates but you get what you pay for.

Eat up with some friends for dinner one evening to eat some tapas. We had a reservation for prompt seating. The place was packed and loud. I personally am not a fan of the loudness due to bad acoustics that could be solved with proper treatments. The crowd is good to show the place has high demand. The food was very good and we enjoyed a great meal for the evening. If it was quieter I would go back otherwise I will enjoy tapas when I get back to Barcelona Spain later this year.

Ted's Bulletin at Reston Town Center is a fantastic dining spot that showcases modern American fare. Its prime corner placement sets this location apart, allowing plenty of natural light to fill the main dining area through the large street-facing windows. Breakfast here is not just a meal; it's an invigorating experience that energizes my day. The food is consistently cooked to perfection and packed with flavor, and I've noticed an impressive upgrade in their dishes since my last visit, featuring fresher and healthier ingredients. The excellent service complements the inviting atmosphere, perfectly capturing a classic old charm.

Ted’s Bulletin in Reston is absolutely wonderful! The outdoor seating is beautifully decorated with flowers, creating such a charming and inviting atmosphere. The service is outstanding — very friendly and incredibly fast. The coffee is excellent, the portions are huge, and everything tastes fresh and flavorful. I especially loved the steak and cheese and the Norwegian Benedict — both were perfect. The kids’ meal was fantastic as well, which made the whole family happy. This location really stands out with its warm atmosphere, delicious food, and top-notch service. Highly recommended

I always like Ted’s Bulletin, their salads are light and healthy, and the portions are big. This time I ordered the Lobster Cobb Salad, which was a big portion of green mix salad, half an avocado, and two deviled eggs, which was very nutritious. I am afraid of salads that are too salty, but this lobster salad was great and completely in line with the healthy principle. Highly recommended.

I came to Ted's Bulletin for the first time last year. The quality of the food and atmosphere of the restaurant was incredible. Ted's Bulletin is now a staple for me. Whenever I travel to Reston, VA I always make sure to stop by Ted's before I travel back home. Just came back to Ted's this morning for breakfast. The peach Bellini is my absolute favorite. Last year I got the Lemon Blueberry Ricotta Pancakes. They were amazing!.

Came in during happy hour and was seated right away. I chose a bar seat and was helped by Mike who gave great suggestions and was so helpful. The service from Mike and others made the already great food even better! From the starter to the French onion burger, and topping it off with the best dessert I’ve ever had, 10/10 excellent experience as an outsider from the West Coast!! Thank you!

This place have outdoor and indoor area, look cozy inside and out but I sit outside as the lovely weather on the day. It was not too busy when I was there ( the photos were taken late after dinner time, so they have people in the restaurant before I took the photos ) pretty much after everyone almost left. I was not hungry but just wanted to try some of their food so I only ordered starter and it was gorgeous then more drinks afterwards. Staff are friendly, good experience for me. And I love their hot chocolate it was not in the photos uploaded as I was enjoying too much and down it quickly!

Brunches are always amazing at Ted’s Bulletin! Highlights All-Day Breakfast: Enjoy breakfast favorites at any time. Modern American Fare: Offers a variety of reimagined classic dishes. Boozy Milkshakes: A unique and popular feature. Ted's Tarts: Homemade pastries similar to Pop-Tarts. Happy Hour: Available Monday-Friday from 3:00 to 6:30 PM with food and drink specials.

Went for dinner with my friend to celebrate her birthday. Service and food were all great. We got pineapple upside down cake. For app we got calamari, rainbow trout as my entree and we got the moscato all night :)

Very cool little spot. The food was delicious! I had the Cuban burrito and the mix of flavors was amazing. Good quality meat as well. The people I was with had different sandwiches and they also said they were excellent. The service was friendly and it looks like they might play music in the evenings because they had a cool stage set up. I hope to go again soon.

5 star atmosphere. 5 star service. 4.5 star food. All of the Clyde's I've been to are fantastic, and this one is no different. Situated in an upscale Reston shopping center, there are plenty shops and restaurants to entertain you. This restaurant has a fun, nautical themed atmosphere. The food is very good. I had the firebird chicken sandwich. They offer a full service bar with handcrafted cocktails. Expect to pay $30ish per person with cocktails.

This place become my favourite restaurant in DMV. I recommend you start with salad and then main dish. The only thing need to be added to make it a unforgettable experience is adding a good dessert variety.

My family and I had visited Clyde’s of Reston this past holiday season and we had a fabulous time! The location of the restaurant was beautiful! Especially being right next to the ice rink! The surrounding of the restaurant is beautiful too! The finest in the NoVa area! We loved how the Reston Town Center has managed to upkeep the surroundings I’m it’s prestigious condition. The workers at Clyde’s were courteous and they did followed through with their Covid19 protocols and they were excellent servants! It will be soo disappointing to see the Clyde’s Restaurant close! I have grown up here in the NoVa areas at the Fairfax County region and the Clyde’s at Reston is the BEST I have ever experienced! That meal outing at the Clyde’s at Reston served as a memorable family dinner outing for my family & I! Even though this pandemic the Clyde’s of Reston is the best at NoVa area!

One of the finest restaurant in Reston u can go and u wl fall in love with the place food street service everything we truely enjoyed each and everything at Clydes it was recommended by our very good friends Merones Catering … even they have got the food for there wedding from here and I’m sure they went for them Cz they know what is the real food taste is … if ur in Virginia and wanted to enjoyed Delicious food then visit clydes I have even posted some pictures of the street from clydes they have day market for Sunday and weather was beautiful 😍

I liked this place a lot. I had the ravioli which was amazing. They brought out bread for the table and were very attentive. The water came out in these really nice stone vases.

This place seemed very nice, and I was excited to enjoy a good steak. However, I was a bit disappointed in the flavor of it. Unfortunately, it was a bit dry, and although it was cooked to my liking, it seemed a bit overcooked around the outside. I'm huge into cocktails, and I was intrigued by the drink known as "Prisoner Sour" - which has makers mark 46 topped with a but of wine floating, see picture attached. When I read this, i imagined a whiskey sour woth wine and some high mesh foam like any whiskey sour has, but it has none. And it was a terrible drink. Luckily, they weren't allowed to pay for it. Normally, I say nothing and drink away, but I couldn't, and then I just had a regular manhattan that was much better but also nothing special. To my side dishes, they were good, I ordered some cheesy dish that just tasted like mac n cheese it was ok, and then a baked potatoe that after mulching in all the ingredients it tasted very well. But to go to a somewhat fancy location, it was far too expensive to have about the potatoes. I think for the price, the food was lacking over all. The drinks were lacking too. However, it was a large selection of wines. This might be the selling point here, I'm not a huge wine person, but I do enjoy it from time to time. If you're going here, then I would take the opportunity to indulge in a good wine, I would eat a more fatty steak as those tend to have more flavore than the lean cuts. Cheers

Nice stop for happy hour prior to a flight at Dulles. They weren’t busy was able to sit at the bar and get happy hour pricing. Super quick service and friendly bartenders. Definitely recommend if you need a quick spot to stop for a decent meal prior to a flight. I had the seared ahi tuna which was fresh, the sauce they laid it in was delicious. I also had the steak sandwich. It was filet cooked to order and a side of crispy fries. And a slight dirty dirty martini to wash it down and blue cheese stuffed olives of course.

Paul was absolutely amazing. Trusted him to pair a wine with my ribeye and he nailed it. Top tier service from Paul and also dealt with my shenanigans with good spirits. Food was AMAZING! Great time. Great food. Amazing waiter. Paul for the win!

Food was excellent., hats off to the kitchen. But, the front of the house needs work. The service and ambiance are akin to an average hotel restaurant. College age guys dropping the F bomb and talking trash about other customers is not my idea of good service or etiquette. I don’t like them dropping a napkin over my hands unannounced either. Blaring music and plain/low-end decor is not a mood. RC does not stack up to the other proper steakhouses out there, especially when you’re spending the same amount of money for the experience. Choose Morton’s, The Palm, or Capital Grill.

The steak I had was good, as were the sides. Unfortunately, they were out of the corn, so we didn't get to try that. The creme brule we got at the end was delicious, so overall we had a good time. We were in a larger group, and it took a while for the food to come.

Our meal, service and attention to detail were truly 5 stars. Jack provided excellent service, a dining room manager came to our table quite often to make sure we were okay and a nice lady employee stopped by to speak to us because our 1 year son got her attention. She said he was so cute and she told us of her 3 year old child. It was nice talking to her. Jack had our Caesar salad and the kids chicken split in the kitchen and brought out the Caesar salad in separate bowls for my wife and I and brought out the kids chicken on separate plates for our daughters. Our daughters loved the chicken,n French fries and ketchup and ate it all. The Caesar salad was amazing. Jack asked could he bring out the kids chicken plates early, we said yes, and he brought their plates early as requested. I had blackened salmon and shrimp, gave the shrimp to my wife and she ate it up. My wife ordered New York strip steak, baked potato, sweet potato casserole and brussel sprouts. She ate what she could and boxed up the remaining so we could take it home and eat later for leftovers. She enjoyed the meal. Jack had ice cream and chocolate syrup brought out for our daughters. They enjoyed it. Bathroom was nice as well. Scheduled reservation via Google and open table. Used an email coupon and Google Pay to pay the bill. Saturday evening, paid for street parking.

I had not been to Ruth Chris in years. My husband and I had an impromptu dinner there last night and had a really great time. The food was amazing and Jack and Michael were so great!! Having been on the restaurant business for yrs, no matter how good the food is, the service is key to the experience. I was a touch grumpy coming in but Jacks kindness, warm smile and incredible ability to "read the room" turned my whole night around. Michael was in training but I could tell he was going to be really great also! We def will not stay away for so long this time and will be sure to make sure Jack or Michael are working. Also--- make sure the ask for Jack's famous Espresso Martini!

The tacos were amazing—bursting with flavor. While the portion sizes felt a bit small for the price, the taste definitely delivered. Our order took a little while, and for a group of four, it came out in a somewhat scattered way, which left us a bit confused. Thankfully, the manager on duty was outstanding and quickly cleared things up. Overall, we had a great time. The experience was truly enjoyable.

Happy hour prices were great! Service was friendly and open. The food and drinks were AMAZING. I got the chicken verde, crispy shrimp, and ahi tuna tacos with equites and a key lime pie for dessert. It was all good. I also got a lime mojito which was perfect. As soon as I sat down I was given water and a menu. I was able to order 2 minutes later, and received my food and drink 5 minutes later. I loved my experience here. Will definitely be coming back!

Came here recently for date night with my husband and had a great evening! All of our food & drinks came out great! We have been coming here for years and absolutely love the food,service, & overall environment! The only thing I wish is that the Mexican street corn came with more crema and chili seasoning, other than that everything was delicious. The fried plantains are something we get every time we visit. The white sauce that comes with the plantains is out of this world and amazing on the tacos as well. The new summer duo of the Lobster and Ribeye tacos is insanely delicious and something I hope they continue to have!

I ordered food through doordash and it was so good! The sweet plantains were A1, the protein bowl with chicken was so filling. Not sure which dish the amazing green sauce came with, but it made the bites that much more flavorful!! Spicy cucumbers and ceviche were fresh tasting

First time here and I had such a good service and the food was 10/10. The price was so reasonable and worth every penny. Joey definitely helped make the experience better. Definitely recommend!

Exceptional service and excellent quality of work from the chef’s and all the bartenders. PJ is the best! All the staff and PJ were super friendly. They make you feel welcomed and appreciated and the service shows they really appreciate you as a customer. PJ remembered me and my spouse. Atmosphere, drinks, food, dessert, music.. You name it! Best place to hang out in RTC

Everything is a 10. Especially Jessica, our server, she explained everything to the T, and recommended lots of food. Left us with no questions. Fast and Delicious. So satisfied and more than happy. Thank you Jessica and Bartaco

I had better sashimi here from my previous visits. Today it was not as good. However they have delicious ramen today

The service was great, and sushi was pretty good. I sat at the sushi bar and was served quickly. The food tasted fresh, but wasn't thrilled with the spicy tuna in one of my rolls.

Just one of the best bento boxes you can find! It's about $15, yet very well worth it. It's actually quite a large portion size and well balanced with delicious tempora shrimp and/or veggies, signature rolls, rice, protein of choice, salad, and of course, a SUPER flavorful miso soup. They have a great variety of fresh sushi rolls as well. But really, if you're coming for lunch, get one of their bento boxes.. you'll love it!

I went during a not very busy time and also not during their buffet and enjoyed it. Somewhat small portions and lukewarm food, but the sushi was great.

Don't bother. I would not say this is the worst sushi place I have been to. But it is not worth going to. The menus and objects on the table were very dirty. The food was pretty bad and our drinks remained empty until our check was put on the table. No one bothered to fill our drinks or remove unused plates. There was 1 other couple in the restaurant with about 3 front of house staff. No excuse for such poor service. If you are going to eat in the town-center just avoid Obi Sushi.

Been going there for years. The sushi is better quality than any other sushi place in the area (and we've tried them all.) No idea why places in, Vienna for example, have higher ratings when the sushi cuts there are clearly less fresh and frankly thinner that Obi Sushi. Oh and just to be clear, we're picky. If there is one thing my wife and I don't like at Obi, it is the sweet items on the menu could be less sweet - like the dressing on the side salads that come with entree orders.

First off, the red wine (Blackwood?) was spectacular and the fish was fresh and actually melted in my mouth. Order the chef special. You won’t be disappointed. This Sushi restaurant is as good as it gets. It also helped that the ambiance was quiet and romantic. Beside the windowsill is our table permanently awaiting us.

PokeHub is solid! Pretty standard poke place with options like tuna or salmon, or a fancy smoked eel box (which I'll have you try next time). There's chicken for the kids as well. Everything was fresh and tasty, and I finished off my bowl. I would say that while the bowl was generous, it seemed to be mostly rice, whereas I've been in other states, some with no ocean access at all, and had much larger portions of fish. That's my only complaint

Meh. Rather soulless. Food was decent so I won't write it off completely. The dining area was visibly dirty and didn't feel welcoming (cameras, stacks of unopened drink packages). Server was friendly. Overall needs improvement.

One of the best tasting Poke bowls I've ever had. All the ingredients were fresh, and the selection of toppings was excellent. I would eat here frequently if I lived in the area.

The PokeHub in Reston is a legit poke restaurant. This is my favorite poke place in northern Virginia. The fish is fresh and they provide healthy portions in each of their bowls. I love their sauces, especially the Ponzu and Spicy Mayo. Additionally they have lots of free toppings including seaweed, crunchy onions, and crunchy tortilla chips which are all free. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for some fresh Poke.

Spicy ahí tuna' flavor was good. Tuna was minced, served with a ice cream scoop, did not look appealing. Suggestion on tortilla chips topping did not fit a Poke dish. Customer service was not great either.

Other than the atmosphere, food and services was great. I tried salmon and salad with sesame sea weed and loved it.

A good poke place if u are looking for a fast meal, but the quality of the fish doesn’t justify the price. Paying over 15$ for a poke bowl and having to throw half the fish away because it smells weird is not great. I’m hoping that the bad salmon was just a fluke the one time I was there. But the place looks nice and clean and the staff were very helpful.
