Excellent breakfast and top-notch hospitality! I absolutely loved my experience here. The ambiance is incredibly friendly, warm, and inviting, and the bright, festive decor makes it a wonderful place to start the day. I stopped in for breakfast and had a made-to-order omelet that was absolutely great. The service was excellent from start to finish, and I was highly impressed to see the manager walking around to personally check on customers and ensure everyone was happy. A fantastic spot all around—highly recommend!

My friend and I had brunch at the Ted's Bulletin Restaurant in the Mosaic District, which is located in the Merrifeld Section of Fairax, County, Virginia on 7 November 2026. The experience was very enjoyable!! Our server Raquel was attentive, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the menu selections. I chose the Make Your Mark option (two scrambled eggs, two slices of applewood bacon, shredded golden hash browns and a slice of toasted artisan sourdough bread). My friend chose the Turkish eggs and the cinnamon toast crunch latte. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. With that in mind, a 5 star of 5 star rating is warranted for excellent food, ambience and last but not least service!!!

First time eating here and really enjoyed it. Good mocktail selection (and bourbon, of course). Crispy Brussels sprouts starter was great. Excellent fish dishes (salmon and rockfish). Definitely will be adding to the special occasion rotation! Service very friendly and helpful as well.

Enjoyed my dining experience at K+K, their attention to detail with specialty cocktails is a plus! The toasted marshmallow espresso martini is my fave! The food is always flavorful and staff very attentive. Our waitress Knori was fantastic!

I ate at Barrel and Bushel at Tyson’s Corner twice recently and thoroughly enjoyed it. Both times I had the carrot ginger soup, which was light and delicious. I also had the steak bites during happy hour and a turkey/avocado/ bacon sandwich during a lunchtime visit. Both were delicious. The service each time was excellent and very friendly. I had not been to this restaurant for a number of years, but it was so good now that I am anxious to return. Eating outdoors on a warm fall day was a delight, too.
