703 Bar + Kitchen — Restaurant in Fairfax

FIRST OFF, I feel so bad with the photos for this review cause they don’t do it justice, but I was so hungry and munched out before I could even take a photo. UPDATE (5/29/25) NEW PHOTOS !!! TV Anyways this is my new FAVORITE GO-TO spot ever! I came in two minutes before the kitchen closed (but the bar was open for one more hour) and I had just finished at the gym and was looking for a new spot to eat close by. Now usually in my experience, the closer you get to the kitchen closing, the less it appears the kitchen cares and just want to get out and go home so the food is mediocre at best. I put in the smash burger as a few patrons sitting at the bar with me said “how bad could it be?” It wasn’t. It was THE BEST BURGER I’ve had in NOVA, and you guys are hiding at the bottom floor of a Marriott at fair oaks?!? Not to mention the fries! Omfg the fries were SO crispy and lightly seasoned and holy moly I was not expecting the food to be THAT good. I’m bringing my madre here this week cause this place has to get some light shined on it. Oh, I didn’t even mention that the beautiful señora that took my order and made my drinks was so pleasant and sweet, had great conversations and made the vibe on point. There’s not a thing I didn’t like, it was clean, devoid of crumbs anywhere, even the seats were cozy and comfy and scootchie. This is the place, again, this is THE PLACE cause I’m going back to try...

I went here last night and was surprised how nice it was for being in a Marriott hotel. I ordered the clam and corn chowder which was a significant step up from what you'd get in a diner. We followed that up with a margarita flat bread that was the worst item we bought - not that flavorful but I did like the half baby tomatoes served as toppings. We also ordered the mac and cheese with spare ribs as a topping. The Mac and cheese was good but spare ribs tasted more like pulled BBQ.

We both ordered burgers for our main entrees. They were well cooked and had fresh toppings and were the highlight of the meal.

The ambiance was great - there was a nice fire place and the area was nicely decorated. The service was also great - our server refilled my water at least 5 times (I had just come from a hockey game) and was very nice and attentive.

Overall, I will definitely come back, it was a...

Had a great experience at 703 tonight. I'm in town for a work event and the place was pretty busy but the bartender was very attentive and provided great recommendations all night. I had a kale salad, very tasty and very large, and the grilled shrimp appetizer with jalepeno aioli. Great flavor! After that I was still hungry so I had the fried green tomatoes and they were also really good - with a bay seasoning aioli. Top-notch. Their beer list is good, too, with mostly VA and MD selections. Wine list was very good too with a lot of quality wines under the $12/glass level. That's refreshing because I travel a lot and so many places start their wines by the glass at $12/13 per glass. That's expensive.

Overall this is a very good hotel restaurant. No need to drive anywhere - just eat and drink here and you'll be...
