We went here for early Valentine's Day and it was a great experience. There was limited parking in the parking lot but valet is also available. Our table was ready a bit before reservation which was nice and they were able to accommodate our booth preference. We had Soy Glazed Pork Belly, Soy Glazed Chilean Sea Bass, and New Frontier Bison New York Strip and complimentary bread. Pork Belly- 11/10 likely the best we've had. It was so crispy on the outside but tender on the inside with a perfectly seasoned sauce on a bed of seaweed salad and scallions. Chilean Sea Bass-9/10 very fresh and had a crispy thin outer layer, the citrus with spinach bed was nice but there were a couple pieces of citrus that looked like onions and was very sour. Perhaps just citrus juice in the puree of citrus garnish would be better. Bison NY strip- cooked very well on a bed of potatoes, steak bits, peppers, corn. I wish the mustard had a more sweetness to it and not as tartBread- I typically don't comment on the free bread but this one was particular good and their mustard seed butter was a great pairing Atmosphere was very nice, suitable for business dinner or romantic date. Our server was very attentive as well. Highly recommend 10/10

Food - 4.25 Service - 5 Ambiance-5This is one of my favorite restaurants in the immediate NOVA area. Their prices have gone up over time, be ready to spend a lot if you go. I like their sesame seared tuna dish, it's a little bit on the salty side but really delicious. Tuna tartare is good, as is their fries, short rib, mussels, scallops, shrimp cocktail, etc. I haven't had anything I don't like to be honest. Most recently - I did think their gnocchi was a little too soft, I prefer it a little chewier with more bite. The ambiance is a little "old" feeling but very comfy and good lighting, great girls night and date spot. In warmer months we like the outdoor patio. For special events they have smaller separate spaces in the back inside and outside too. Parking can be a challenge only because it gets busy there but it's right next to the restaurant and they also have valet if needed.

I don't know why it took me so long to review this place. I've been a few times now and have enjoyed every time. I think I was waiting until after I went with a larger party. Sometimes the service changes with more people. I've gone with one person, I've gone along, and finally I went with a group for Father's Day. The ambiance was classy and slightly dark and mysterious. I felt like I was going to meet someone I met on the Dark Web about a sketchy file. Everything is clean, art is fun but not overly busy, they have a cigar bar separate from the dining area, and they even play live music on certain days. It is a great place for special occasions and for a date. The party room made me forget I was dining with others.The food, ugh it's been a while but myself and those in our party tried things across the menu from: Mussels, Shrimp, NY Strip, Roasted Chicken, Braised Short Rib, Seared Tuna, Beef Carpaccio etc. Everything was delicious, I don't have any complaints. My relative tried Mussels for the first time and didn't care for them, so the server brought out different mussels with a better seasoning or something and the reception was much better. Our server was a slender fit, young black man. He was outstanding. I had him another time when we came for Father's Day and the wait was taking too long, so everyone started to get restless. Well this same server came out of the back with champagne for everyone, and upgraded us from a table to a private room without being asked. I haven't had that kind of service in a long time. I mean before anyone could truly get mad, he showed up with gifts and accommodations. I don't know if he is still there but if he is you'll know by the service you receive. Hopefully he's been promoted by now. They have absolutely earned this 5 star review. Well done!

I visited Trio Grill for my cousin's birthday. Although there was initial confusion with our reservation, it was resolved quickly, and we were seated promptly. The atmosphere was exceptional, with live piano music creating a sophisticated and enjoyable dining experience.Our server was attentive, and the menu offered a variety of enticing options. We began with complimentary bread and butter, followed by fried calamari and a charcuterie board featuring a selection of meats and cheeses. For my entrée, I chose the prime rib special (which I did not get a picture of, unfortunately), paired with horseradish spread, au jus, and mashed potatoes. Dessert was a warm apple cobbler served with ice cream--a delightful conclusion to the meal.Trio Grill is an excellent choice for special occasions or upscale dining, though it comes with a higher price point.

Trio is excellent! I came here for a birthday dinner on a Saturday night. We had 6pm reservations and were seated promptly. The restaurant was busy and there was live music playing on the piano. Such a lovely ambience for a special occasion! Our server was friendly and attentive, which was very much appreciated. My girlfriends and I shared the shrimp appetizer, the brisket, the bison, and the special for the evening (which was a fish over lobster risotto). I highly recommend sharing a few dishes so you get to try a little bit of everything. I can't say enough about the food or my experience at this restaurant. 5 stars! They also have a bar area at the restaurant with TVs and people were seated there watching football. Overall this was a great experience and I can't wait to return!

Incredible food and service! It's definitely a place for a date night or a special celebration! The private room is incredible for a private event. The outdoor fireplace is super romantic. Favorites:Beef carpaccio, French onion soup and the desserts are just incredible each and every single one of them, but the chocolate toured was my favorite.

We made a reservation in case the restaurant would be busy. Parking is limited later in the evening. Service is excellent. Our server was friendly and helpful with menu suggestions. We enjoyed our food. Everything came out hot and tasted fresh.

I came here with my family to celebrate an event. Definitely a nice ambiance with live music and good service. Food was a bit disappointing overall. The calamari appetizer was standard, no complaints. My husband got the prime rib special, and he gave it 3/5. It was too chewy for me. My sister got the roasted free bird chicken, which lacked flavor. I got the red wine braised short rib, and it was probably the best out of the entrees. The meat was tender. I enjoyed the potato puree and vegetables. I think $47 is a bit steep for this one dish though. To be honest, the three cheese mac and cheese side might have been the dish we enjoyed the most. The desserts were solid. In the end, the dinner was very pricey and I did not feel like it was worth it, despite the nice atmosphere.

I went to TRiO grill with my girlfriend for happy hour and our babies, and we were so pleased at how accommodating they were to our infants. The happy hour tuna tartare nachos and charcuterie were delicious and a good deal. They had several happy hour wine options and the happy hour runs till 7 PM which is a hard find in this area. I was placed with the food and service and would definitely come back to try dinner in the future. The ambiance was casual/upscale and felt cozy.

Upscale American restaurant with a rotating/seasonal menu that was rated as the 10th best restaurant in NOVA by NOVA Magazine!Indoor and covered outdoor seating, and well as bar seating as wellAlthough the menu is seasonal they still have a ton of different options.I came here with my GF after she successfully defended her PhD dissertation! I had a filet and she had the salmon, and we really enjoyed both of our dishes! We also each had a cocktail as well, and we both thought that our respective drinks were solid. Solid drink selection and complimentary bread + butterVery friendly waiter, but food took a little while
