"My wife and I decided to try the Lightfoot restaurant for the first time on our 16th wedding anniversary. 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 with that since we had an umbrella. We were greeted by a manager (we presume he was a manager since he was seen everywhere in the restaurant 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 respectful customer service. The restaurant even gave us complimentary champagne (2 glasses) to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We ordered appetizers (deviled eggs and fried green tomatoes with shrimp) and then our main entrees (Braised pork, shrimp and grits and organic buttermilk fried chicken). Then we shared a big ice cream sundae (they were out of the mint chocolate chip one, but we still enjoyed the regular ice cream sundae). The reason for 4 stars and not 5 stars was because my wife unfortunately did not enjoy her appetizer (fried green tomatoes with shrimp or her braised pork, shrimp and grits entree). Other than that, the experience was great at the Lightfoot restaurant from the greeting, the ambiance, the food and customer service."
