 klj&a Says:  I was here on business and it appears this hotel is geared towards that end. I found the rooms sufficient and clean. There's not much around in walking distance. Tysons Corner Center and Galleria, the two main shopping malls, are about 3 or 4 miles away. I drove about 10...

 annlea Says:  Top notch hotel! Reputation is earned here. I have stayed at the Greenbrier and would say the Ritz customer service is far above the Greenbrier. The pool hours have children swim times so if you are traveling without kids this may benefit you. If, like me, you are traveling... 

The Ritz Carlton Tysons Corner: The Ritz

The Ritz Carlton Tysons Corner: The Ritz, Tysons Corner

Embassy Suites Tysons Corner: Plusses and Minuses, Tysons Corner

 Sunshine64 Says:  I've stayed at this hotel a couple of times. Like all Embassy Suites Hotels, it has free breakfast (including made-to-order omlettes) and free happy hour. Also like all Embassy Suites (except those in states with indoor smoking laws), the smoke from the Atrium bar seeps into...

La Madeleine: Good French Bistro (chain!), Tysons Corner

 Sunshine64 Says:  Only when I looked for information on La Madeleine on the web did I find out it was a chain - although a fairly small one, as far as chains go.You can get good food (and wine!) without the pressures & priceof a full-service restaurant. It's a great place to dine alone, read...

La Madelene, Tysons Corner in Vienna Va: The worst customer service, Tysons Corner

 abey01 Says:  I am used to eating at this restaurant in other locations and I was a true admirer until I tried one of their chains in Tysons Corner in Vienna. During the two times I have eaten there, I had to wait in line for 15 to 20 minutes to order and then another 45 minutes to get my...

Morton's The Steakhouse: the name says it all...., Tysons Corner

 davecallahan Says:  Upscale, coat-and-tie kind of place. Dark wood, nicely decorated in conservative style. Linen tablecloth and napkins; comfortable wood chairs. There is a bar but we are not bar people so I cannot tell you what that was like.The meal was delicious. We started with a crisp... 

The Daily Grill: The Daily Grill

The Daily Grill: The Daily Grill, Tysons Corner

 annlea Says:  We waited too long and all the restaurants in the mall next to the Ritz had over an hour wait for dinner. We were about to give up when we saw this restaurant had seating. It is across from the lebanese restaurant. We waited maybe 10 minutes and dinner was great. They had a...

Legals: Don't Miss the Fresh Seafood!, Tysons Corner

 HotSpotJ Says:  I've only eaten at Legal's twice but I've loved it both times. I've ordered the same things, I stick to what I know, and more importantly, to what I enjoy! Wood Grilled Swordfish is awesome, as is the Chowder!

The Cheescake Factory: Cheesecake?  I didn't leave room for dessert!, Tysons Corner

 HotSpotJ Says:  I have always loved the Cheesecake Factory's menu and taste in everything they do. This place is not the cheapest spot, but you will leave absolutely stuffed. And a remionder, if you really want to indulge in their world-famous cheesecake, you'd better be prepared toleave...
