• Contemporary European • Reston

I was staying at the Marriott AC hotel that Seven is connected to and decided to try it for dinner. Sat at the bar and enjoyed an amazing meal. As it was on the later side, I skipped the appetizer and went right to the entree of short ribs with glazed carrots and potato puree. The ribs were fork tender and delicious, the potato purée creamy and buttery, and the carrots perfectly cooked. The entree was followed up by a comforting flan for dessert. My server Jason was very knowledgeable and made outstanding recommendations about both food and drink. My dinner was complemented by an Angel’s Envy old fashioned and a good California Cabernet Sauvignon.

Excellent food and attentive service. The Beef Wellingtons arrived hot with crisp puff pastry. The pasta and meatballs on the kids menu offered a generous portion. My children enjoyed themselves, and the sticky toffee pudding was excellent.

Xiquet is more than dining. It is a special experience. The food is creative and outstanding. The service delivered by friendly knowledgeable staff makes you feel like you are the only people in the restaurant. The creative yet meaningful experiences like after dinner tea leave you feeling like you experienced a moment.

We had a delicious and leisurely brunch on a Saturday morning at 10. Our server was charming, and there were very few diners at this time. Our drinks were late in coming, but he comped them, so hard to complain. The portions were huge. I ordered the avocado toast and could only eat half. My over easy eggs on top were cooked perfectly.
