Silver Diner was a great experience overall. The atmosphere was welcoming, the place was clean and comfortable, and the food came out fresh and well prepared. It’s the kind of spot where you can relax and actually enjoy your meal without feeling rushed. Everything ran smoothly, which already set a good tone for the visit. What truly made the experience stand out, though, was our server, Hemen. From the moment she greeted us, her energy, warmth, and professionalism were exceptional. She was attentive, friendly, and genuinely caring the kind of service that makes you feel looked after rather than just served. You can tell she takes pride in what she does. Employees like Hemen are the reason people return. She represents what real customer service should be, and she absolutely deserves recognition for it. Thank you, Hemen, for making our visit memorable.
We're just visiting Arlington, and this place is awesome! The food here is so good. But the service stole the show! Shoutout to Kainaat, Danel and Karen for the awesome service! All the staff was super friendly, quick, and just made the whole meal great. Definitely stop by if you're in the area!
I used to not like Silver Diner years ago, but the new chef and owners have completely stepped up their game—the food is now so fresh and delicious! The chef clearly puts thought into the menu to cater to a wide range of backgrounds, including super healthy eaters and vegan/vegetarian options. Not only is the food incredible, but the portions are also very generous—I always end up taking some home! I’ve enjoyed several of their drinks too; the mimosas were great, though the cucumber-strawberry spritz wasn’t my favorite (probably just not my taste). The mango and passion fruit mimosas were excellent, and my mom loved the Bloody Mary with extra olives. We’ve tried the crabmeat pasta and avocado toast this time—both were fantastic. In the past, we’ve had the crabcake Benedict, wings, cod fish, shrimp and salmon dish, watermelon salad, and a few other dishes—all amazing! Service from our waiter was okay (not spectacular—we had to wait a bit for extras), but overall, the experience was great. We loved sitting on the outdoor patio with the pretty basket flowers and cute blue tables with wicker chairs. The best part: when it started raining, the manager came out and, using a remote, lowered the glass enclosure so we could stay dry outside. Very impressive! Overall, a wonderful experience—I’ll definitely be back!
Absolutely delicious, healthy, fresh food with excellent service!! They have nice outdoor seating and covered outdoor seating. The menu is eclectic and includes numerous healthy food options, which I love. It’s great to have a spot that serves healthy food to go. The Turkey chili is chunky and tasty. Also, their desserts are delectable!
GOURMET LEVEL, TRENDY, HEALTHY CHOICES, AND TOP SHELF SERVICE!! Not a typical diner, but a fantastic restaurant/bar. I have now been to all of the Silver Diner locations in the DMV, and this is one of my two favorites. This is not the typical "diner" , and far from a "greasy spoon," as they feature really tasty recipes, alternative menu items with so many healthy choices, veteran owned/locally fresh roasted Compass Coffee, late hours, all kinds of mixed drink & wine/beer choices, many easy to get to locations, superb deals for their happy hours, and has a real European chef concocting the menu items. They feature many locally sourced farm fresh ingredients. All locations are clean & immaculate. At this location in Alexandria is JESSIE, who is the best server at all of the Silver Diners that I have been to. He is the most attentive & helpful serve I have run into in the DMV, knows the menu inside and out, and totally professional!
I had diner here and it was a great experience. I love the food, service and atmosphere. The weather was nice so I sat outside. The food came out on time. I ordered skewered shrimp bibimbap and the “Apple pie a la mode” for dessert. The dessert tastes great and I will definitely order again the next time I visit. The meal tasted good and was not overly spiced. Will definitely recommend and go back for breakfast/brunch.
We did not have high expectations but were wowed by this little unassuming diner. Food was very good, service was excellent and the atmosphere on the patio where we ate was all right. We chose seating outside because the elevator from the free parking in the garage opened up there. We did check out the inside space and the tables inside were definitely more upscale. Next time, we will dine inside. We found a new favorite place for a casual meal in Alexandria.
