Brunch is lovely, food good, service great. We will return. Very nice outside patio area available.

So let me tell you about this VA gem ! Dogwood is open late and have great food. The wings with the green goddess dressing lawwwdddd and them tater tots are bomb asf!!! Great atmosphere and such a good vibe when you walk in! You can sit indoors or outside ! I love love this place thank you to my guys who took me here! If I never know what I want to eat for the day I always come here because it's sooooo good no matter what you choose!!!

All of the dishes we tried (apple and chicken salad, Buddha bowl) were really good. The stand out - shrimp and grits-- was some of the best I've had in a while (surprise!). I came for the reviews and now I'm adding my 4 star! They even have a small breakfast bar which I'm hoping to try on a future visit. The service was excellent, and the location of Falls Church City is great for walking off a big meal. I'll be back!

Looking to do something different while in Washington, this tavern was great for American cuisine. Service was amazing the server took the time in taking our order , and explaining things . The hostess as well, helping the tables get menus and water . The Fourth of July limited menu included a brisket platter, which it wasn't good , it lacked flavor and did not have any sauce . The portions were good , but the platter did not impress . The build your own burger was a good option, since you have the flexibility in ordering with special topping , and can't forget to try the Dogwood special sauce , it was delicious! Great atmosphere, good to visit with friends to have a drink .

Clearly this is a great spot. It's always packed. People will flock to places with good food, service, and atmosphere. This place has them all! At first, I was on the fence as the younger hostess seemed to look over me for seating more times than one for those who tipped him upfront or maybe it was because I was a party of one. Who knows, but that was my perception. Needless to say the older hostess was more than pleasant. He quickly cleaned a hightop and asked me if that was ok, which it was. My sever was fabulous. She was great with menu recommendations and the daily chef specials. I ordered and everything came quite quickly. The food was phenomenal. I consider myself a burger connoisseur, and the burger was great!! Thumbs up!!

Nice place to stop in for dinner or a drink. They have an extensive menu and decent drink prices. The bar also has pretty much any game you are looking for. I went with the Dogwood Burger w/ a side of waffle fries. It's pretty massive and has a girthy bun but overall pretty good. I also tried their jambalaya which was OK. They have a pretty massive menu so you'll probably find something you'll like here. They also have a kiddo menu. Don't expect 5* service, but it's a casual place to have a drink and dinner with friends. I would also expect a pretty good time here on St. Patrick's Day.

Went here for the second time to try their raw bar happy hour. Overall it's a solid addition to their regular happy hour. The clams weren't the best so I wouldn't get those again but I would try the dozen mussels for $5. The oysters were good. Not quite as good as KSOB happy hour oysters in my opinion, BUT considering I no longer live near a KSOB and this is near my house this is great. The basket of tots was HUGE and only $2 more than the side of tots. My partner ordered the salmon salad. It came with a big piece of salmon and she enjoyed it. Dogwood is a solid option for happy hour, a casual dinner, a family meal or a quick bite to eat. It's a local place. The people are very nice. Service was good. I thought he could have been slightly more attentive but all in all good.

Falls Church has an ever growing number of restaurants but Dogwood is one of the best around. The inside feels like an Irish pub with lots of wood and brick (even a fireplace in the winter) and a patio out back during good weather. They have a varied menu with something for everyone, including lots of bar type food. This trip was just a visit to the bar to have a beer and some nachos. They have a good draft beer selection featuring many local/Virginia beers. The nachos are huge and made with real cheese, not the fake cheese sauce like you get at the ballpark. The steak is tasty and worth the few extra bucks. Bartenders are friendly and it's one of the few NoVa places where patrons even talk to each other at the bar. Friendly local place that I'll be back to again.
