I recently went to Clarity for a business dinner after not visiting for many years. The restaurant wasn’t very crowded, but since it was a Monday night that might have been the reason. In the past it was always very busy, so the quieter atmosphere was noticeable.

We ordered a variety of appetizers. They were all nicely presented, and the pork belly was definitely the highlight. The scallops were our least favorite. They did offer a tasting menu, but we didn’t try it this time.

I’m not sure if the chef has changed over the years, but overall the food didn’t seem as good as it used to be. That said, the service was excellent—our servers were friendly, attentive, and made the experience enjoyable.

Loved our dinner! We started with French onion soup (see pic) and mushroom soup. Both were piping hot and excellent for a cold winter evening. We both had the burger without the bun. The meat was hand-ground for better “mouth feel” Also the happy hour red wine was a GSM and an excellent complement to the burger. Staff was excellent and Chef Danny came over to say hi. Overall, it was a great dinner. We’ll be back.

This was good. Yummy food at a more IYKYK location in the area with higher end evening dishes but not too serious or fancy that requires only special occasion. Definitely a different vibe with friendly modern staff taking care of a semi private room for a work party. Happy Hour was nice to be available with a good selection of dishes on the main menu. I would like to try a couples date night and check out their music to see how the evening flows in the main dining room.

The ambiance from when we first walked in the door of Clarity Restaurant in Vienna was the beginning of an outstanding dining experience. We were led to the Chef’s Table and were able to witness Executive Chef Danny Ahn’s amazing talents.
Chef Danny’s service team were on point and the kitchen staff, Servers and bar staff worked seamlessly on a busy Friday evening.
I would highly recommend the French Onion Soup, the succulent pork belly and you do not want to miss out on the foie gras with the pear and fig compote!!
Thank you Chef Danny and all at Clarity for a perfect night!

I’ve now been to Clarity in Vienna several times for corporate lunches, and every single visit has been exceptional.
The food is consistently outstanding. I make it a point to start with their French onion soup each time, and it’s unlike any I’ve had before, a beautifully flavored, rich stock with incredible depth. It pairs perfectly with just about anything on the menu and honestly elevates the whole meal.
Over my visits I’ve tried a variety of entrées, including the cheesesteak, wings, and several different salads. Not only has each dish been delicious, but the quality and presentation have been remarkably consistent every time.
The service deserves just as much praise. The staff is professional, attentive, and always on top of every detail without being overbearing, exactly what you want, especially during a business lunch.
Bravo to the entire team at Clarity. This is a place that clearly takes pride in both its food and hospitality, and it shows. I’ll absolutely be back again.

We had another great experience at Clarity. We were able to sit at the Chef’s table so we could see the amazing team in action. Our server, Zarina, was very personable and attentive. The chef, Danny, expertly orchestrated the very busy Valentine’s evening demand. The supporting cast (kitchen and hostesses) were all exemplary … wonderful teamwork. The result was outstanding food and a delightful evening. Our thanks to the whole team.

I’ve visited Clarity twice recently and thoroughly enjoyed both experiences. The restaurant has a lively atmosphere, and the staff are warm, welcoming, and attentive. My most recent visit was on February 14, and I was impressed by the prix fixe three-course menu, which offered a wide variety of appetizer, entrée, and dessert options. The food arrived promptly and was excellent. The braised short rib and mushroom bisque were standout dishes—the short rib was juicy, tender, and perfectly seasoned. I also appreciated the open kitchen concept and enjoyed watching the chefs prepare the meals. Despite it being a very busy evening, our server checked in regularly and made sure we had everything we needed. I’ll definitely be back again!

Clarity Restaurant is a gem in Vienna. The food was exceptional from start to finish. I had the lamb chops, which I don’t usually order, but our server confidently recommended it and reassured me that it would not be gamey…and she was absolutely correct. I’m so glad I listened. They were absolutely delicious and honestly unforgettable; I’m still thinking about them.

My husband ordered the steak medium rare. It came out closer to medium, but he said he still enjoyed it. The wine recommendations were spot on and paired beautifully with our meals.

The ambiance is casual and quaint, making it a great place for a relaxed but elevated food experience. Also, the service was just the right touch of attentive, knowledgeable, and we’ll definitely be back.

Found Clarity from the best restaurants list. We didn’t do menu tasting. Decided to pick items from ala carte menu. Bread service served prior to first course. Then we were able to order Scottish Salmon Tartare eventho it wasn’t listed on the first course items (thank you Chef!). It was a fresh light starter to our meal the combination of beets, avocado, horseradish cream and (some mint emulsion maybe) and salmon. For main course I got 10oz NY strip and my friend got Foie Grass stuffed free bird chicken both delicious, a little thing that we wished they could do better was both of our entree weren’t hot (they both warm) and they didn’t cleared the rest of set of silverwares (we sat at the 4 seats table with 4 set up), it’s a minor service things but for a restaurant at their level this could’ve been improved. Overall experience was good. Our wait staff gave us suggestions and clearly know their menu. I would def be back and next time I would love to try the tasting menu.

This place is a phenomenal find for me in the local northern virginia area.

Wonderful dining room atmosphere with extremely pleasant staff throughout the kitchen, management, social media and wait staff.

The food is well priced and to die for. Clarity most certainly deserves its new spot in the top 50 best dining experiences in NOVA. Time will tell where they land in the rankings but I’m sure they are here to stay.

Wide variety of dishes and beautifully well built flavors, executed to perfection. Check them out, their lunch set is worth every single cent.
