We found it in a google search for fine dining in Northern Virginia and then one of our co-workers vouched for the restaurant. At the restaurant,we had to park at one of the free public parking areas in the rain less than half a mile away, but we didn't have a problem withthat since we had an umbrella. We were greeted by a manager (we presume he was a manager since he was seen everywhere in therestaurant after he sat us down). The manager was personable with us as he sat us down and before he walked away from our table.He even came back by to check on us 2 more times before we left. We were serviced by the bartender who provided respectfulcustomer service. The restaurant even gave us complimentary champagne (2 glasses) to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Weordered appetizers (deviled eggs and fried green tomatoes with shrimp) and then our main entrees (Braised pork, shrimp and gritsand organic buttermilk fried chicken). Then we shared a big ice cream sundae (they were out of the mint chocolate chip one, butwe still enjoyed the regular ice cream sundae). The reason for 4 stars and not 5 stars was because my wife unfortunately did notenjoy her appetizer (fried green tomatoes with shrimp or her braised pork, shrimp and grits entree). Other than that, theexperience was great at the Lightfoot restaurant from the greeting, the ambiance, the food and customer service.

The menu is always changing and every time it 's awesome. They have a great special selection which I highly recommend you try. The staff is also really attentive. There is parking right behind the rest so you don 't have totravel far. The one complaint is the wine selection needs a little work

Housed in a former bank building, the atmosphere is grand, even imposing, but the staff are friendly and warm. I can see how this would be a great place for a special occasion. We just went for a regular Sunday dinner. We started with the Virginia ham biscuits which are mouthwatering, tender, savory andsimply delicious. The meal went from strength to strength with perfectly prepared and presented main courses. We tried thestreak salad, the fried chicken and the French onion soup all delicious. For dessert butterscotch banana bread pudding andthe sundae special plus the fabulous chocolate pudding hit the spot, filling up the last spaces. They also offer a full bar anda nice wine list I opted for an ice cold cosmo that was perfectly tart and refreshing. Overall, really can’t recommendhighly enough. You won’t regret making time for a meal here.
