3 Stars is "I liked it, but I'm not necessarily in a rush to come back."
4 Stars is "I really liked it, and I will come back…

Dominion Deli

8114 Arlington Blvd
Falls Church, VA 22042

Stef W. writes: This must be a local fave because I just don't get the appeal of Dominion Deli.  My friends in NoVA come here often, but I always leave the establishment underwhelmed.  It's a deli, and it's not in NYC so I try to manage my expectations accordingly.…

Tara Thai

4001 Fairfax Dr
Arlington, VA 22203

Jennifer S. writes: This underwater themed restaurant  with many locations in the DC area (and cool water walls at the entry) doesn't have any stand out features and is very similar to Busara, Sala Thai and the like. Nothing off-the-charts special, but good solid food.…
