Filomena

Filomena is an outstanding restaurant! You can select a variety of Italian cuisines. The bread they served us as an appetizer was delicious and came with some olive oil for dipping. Their Gnocchi is a great potato pasta to get. Their manicotti was also fantastic. Another tasty option if you like seafood is the seafood cannelloni. The fried ravioli are pretty good, but the marinara sauce is a little spicy. Another type of ravioli is the ravioli in cream sauce. It was pretty good and it has spinach. The best part of Filomena is their deserts. The Cookies N' Cream mousse is amazing! Their mixed fruit tart is a little healthier, but is just as good. Their dark chocolate mousse is a great way to top of your dinner. Filomena deserves 5 stars out of 5 stars!

Jackson 20

Jackson 20 is a yummy restaurant. There are many options for a great meal. We started off with an appetizer or cornbread. It was fairly good. The macaroni and cheese was okay. It stayed hot for the whole meal, and is a moderate serving size. The pork sliders were great and have a large serving. Their fried chicken was okay. It didn't have quiet as good of a flavor as some places. The french fries are a great choice for a side because they were hand-cut and mouthwatering. The smoked brisket is another good choice. The porobello mushroom sandwich is okay, but has a little bit of a sour taste. Jackson 20 is a good restaurant in Alexandria, Virginia, and gets 3.4 out of 5 stars.

Sprinkles

Sprinkles is a great place. It is a cupcake shop that is very tempting. Sprinkles is a busy place, but the cupcakes are mouthwatering. Each day there are many flavors to choose from.  The red velvet cupcakes are good as well as the vanilla cupcake with chocolate frosting. Sprinkles gets 4 out of 5 stars.

Roti

Roti is a pretty good restaurant. It has many versions of rice dishes. The Roti Chicken wrap is okay, and comes in a large serving. Getting the rice plate with chicken would be an okay move. It had a decent flavor, and the chicken was a little spicy. Their fresh fruit cup was scrumptious, and had a good variety of fruit including pineapple, strawberries, and grapes. The pita sandwich was great, but it fell apart. This restaurant is awesome if you need a quick place to eat. Roti dishes up 3.5 out of 5 stars.

District of Pi

District of Pi is a delicious pizza place. You can choose either thin crust or deep dish, and there are many types of toppings. A delicious appetizer is the garlic bread. You get the bread, and the there is a garlic clove with the garlic topping. They were delicious! The deep dish cheese pizza was also really good. The thin crust beef pizza was okay, but the beef was similar to sausage. District of Pi is a great restaurant that deserves 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Founding Farmers

Founding Farmers is a great restaurant. This restaurant is managed by the same people as Farmers, Fishers, Bakers. Founding Farmers has delicious food. Their lemonade and homemade sodas are also very good though. The beignets were a very delicious start to our brunch. They are a doughnut-like pastry that came with some dipping sauces. We also had the brie cheese Farmer bread. The grilled cheese with tomato soup was a good dish. The Prime Rib Sandwich was very scrumptious. Another good sandwich was the pulled turkey sandwich. The bread on it was a little dry, but the turkey was very fresh. The chili had a smoky flavor and if you don't like smoked items, you won't enjoy it. You will need a reservation to get into Founding Farmers. Overall, Founding Farmers deserves 5 out of 5 stars.

Farmers, Fishers, Bakers

Farmers, Fishers, Bakers is an awesome restaurant. There are many options of fresh foods and drinks. To start, their farm fresh lemonade is outstanding, and the homemade sodas are also pretty good. We enjoyed the Brick Oven Pretzels as and appetizer. The pretzels came with a few sauces to dip them in. Their pizza was okay, but it could have used a little more cheese on it. The tacos were also good but I would recommend trying the flour tortilla instead of the corn tortilla. One of the best entrees is their hamburgers. The hamburgers were fresh and the french fries that came with them were amazing. Another nice option would be the Lemonade Fried White Fish. The side of corn was very scrumptious too. Farmers, Fishers, Bakers is very busy so it is highly recommended that you have a reservation. This restaurant deserves 5stars out of 5 stars.

Chipotle

Chipotle is a terrific Mexican restaurant. Their quesadillas are delicious, and their burritos and tacos are scrumptious. The chips and salsa are okay too, but not as good as some of the other options. At Chipotle, the food comes quickly. Be careful about how much food you order though because the serving sizes are pretty big. This restaurant wraps up 4 out of 5 stars.

Diorio's

Diorio's serves excellent pizza. You can get a variety of pizza flavors that taste great! There are also many condiments that you can add to your pizza such as garlic powder. Their salads are also good. Calzones are also an option. Diorio's had decent service and the food came pretty quick. This pizza place gets 4 out of 5 stars.

Noodles& Company

Noodles& Company is a delicious restaurant. It has many choices for you to choose from. The Pad Thai noodles and the Wisconsin Mac'n Cheese are two great options. There are also some soups and sandwiches. Their chicken noodle soup is very flavorful. Their servings are large so if you do not eat much, I would recommend getting the small size. This restaurant deserves 4 out of 5 stars.

McDonald's

McDonald's is a good fast food restaurant. It has many options including hamburgers, french fries, chicken, and many other things. Some choices can be healthy, but others can be very unhealthy. The food is good, but the restaurant is a little dirty. McDonald's is a good place to go to if you want to get your food quickly. The restaurant wraps up 3 out of 5 stars.
