Hamrock's - Fairfax

My husband and I held our Wedding Ceremony and dinner party here on Christmas Eve 2016! Nothing but EXCELLENT things to say about the space, the food and most importantly the management of our event. The new owner, Bill, is an excellent chef and a seasoned professional. From the very start he was communicative over details and flexible to our needs. As we live in Hong Kong, most of our communication was over email and just a few site visits by my parents. We planned the event with just 1.5 months notice. We had 35 guests. Bill organized a welcoming cocktail hour with horderves, ceremony seating, a champaign toast with more horderves, and a 3 course dinner paired with wine. We brought in minimal decoration for tables and our own music. The historic house is cozy with dark wood, a wine bar and numerous fireplaces. Our guests raved over the food and the friendliness from the waitstaff. The space was transformed flawlessly to move from one event to the next. It was simple but truly elegant! We couldn't have asked for a better wedding day. I highly recommend Choices by Shawn for a small wedding or any other event.

I picked this restaurant at random while traveling because it is a local place, not a chain. What a delightful find! The tomato and feta crostini is the best bruschetta I've had outside of Italy. The breakfast platter was plentiful and delicious. The waitress recommended the pancakes, which were thick and fluffy, not sweet or gummy--the perfect pancake. I can't recommend their Sunday brunch enough.

Great place! I have celiac autoimmune and it is rare to find a restaurant with a vast selection like we found at Hamrocks. The food was delicious! And wait staff were attentive. We will be back!

Definitely in my top 10 Virginia restaurants! Celebrated my husbands 50th Birthday here this past weekend. Food was amazing and the server was very attentive. I loved the atmosphere. I encourage you to try the Saffron Vegetable Risotto when you dine with Hamrock’s. We will be returning soon.

We had a wonderful dinner at Hamrock’s on Saturday night! Great service! The apps were spot on. Calamari was perfectly cooked. The avocado bruschetta and Brussel sprouts excellent. The main courses were nice sized portions and very tasty. Rock fish and ribeye. We had several great priced bottles of Pinot noir! They have a great porch area as well for when the weather warms up. The owner chef even came out to greet us and chat for a bit. We will most certainly be back!
