“ Excellent selection - lots of vegan and vegetarian options. Veggie chili was awesome - lots of lentils and sweet potatoes. Chopped salad is great and the key lime vinaigrette was solid. Ambiance is like a beach house - very cool. Great service too! ”

“ We went for Mother's Day. It was an excellent experience. The food is very fresh. Our server Ben was extremely friendly, very professional, and very pleasant. I highly recommend that you go to this place you won't be disappointed. We had the seafood platter, admirals, and it was very delicious. ”

“ Love this place, great vibe (music, decor), a lot of healthy options (eg grilled fish and veggies), excellent prices, large portions, and most importantly I enjoy the food. Service has been consistent and good. I like going out to eat and I'm trying to eat healthier and spend less money. This is the best place to achieve all those goals. ”

“ First time trying out Claire and Don's. Had lunch with my daughter while in town visiting. The service was very good waitress was very helpful. Cute atmosphere very beachy themed looks like it would be a fun place in the warmer months. Also appears to be a good late night spot. The food was fantastic. I'd have to say it was the best jambalaya I've ever had. ”

“ Met a friend here for a quick dinner on a Sunday night, so it wasn't very crowded. Luckily parking isn't too bad since there is a large garage nearby. The interior is like a dive bar meets tiki hut, which is fun and casual! The menu has a good amount of options on it, and even my friend who's a vegetarian could find something to choose from. I got a burger and tater tots as a side. Both were good, nothing to write home about but perfect for a quick bite. Service was fine, nothing to complain about. I ordered did get swapped with our sides, but no biggie. Pricing was overalll reasonable too. ”

“ Idk who Clare and Don are , but you guys figured it out! The restaurant / live music vibe here is great. This is more so a summer spot, but the interior boasts what could complement as a staycation. Great staff and comfortably spaced out seating arrangements. The crab cakes were absolutely gorgeous, were ordered them 3 times in one go as they were so flavorful. 5*! ”

“ We return to Clare & Don's repeatedly - mostly because of all the vegetarian options, but also because there are meat, fish, and gluten-free options, making it a great place to meet friends of all eating preferences. The atmosphere is beachy, they add more items on the walls over the years, and they play beachy music too. They have live bands both on their outdoor stage and indoors, usually in the evening. They are also good for sports fans - they have a few screens showing whatever sports are in season. Service is very good for a casual place. I have seen some of the same staff there for years, which I think is a good sign. It does have some grit to it, it's not highly polished, and the bathrooms could use an upgrade. But it is a reliable eating and drinking establishment, we have never had a bad time. ”

“ I'm native Floridian so I'm probably biased but this place is a little piece of Florida in Falls Church. I always enjoy coming here and having a tasty beverage or two on the patio and listening to some live music while enjoying some grilled shrimp tacos. Food and drinks are just as good in the winter but it's not quite Florida weather so I'm eating inside when it's too cold for flip flops. The margaritas are always enjoyable as is everything else I've ever had to drink. The grilled shrimp appetizer features properly de-veined freshly cooked shrimp. The grilled shrimp tacos are also always just right and they bring the shells and tortillas separately so you can fill the shells yourself make them just how you want them. Service is always fast and friendly here, even when they're crowded on a weekend. This place is a must try if you're a Floridian in exile or just want to enjoy the beach bar experience in Falls Church. ”

“ We were wanting to do takeout for dinner but after seeing the menu online, I'm glad we went there and ate. It was hot out on a Wednesday evening. We sat inside along with other customers. We were greeted while we were outside. The tables were but sticky. Service was good although it took a while toward the end to find and flag our waitress. I ordered a crab cake appetizer and a bowl of shrimp gambolaya. The gambolaya was spicy but just enough spiciness for me to tolerate and the flavor was good. (Do not order this if you don't like spicy foods.) The side of crab cake was just right for me. It was flavorful but I came across a few shell pieces. I would order both again. My husband had the crab cake dinner with the side salad entree which he enjoyed since he is a huge crab cake fan. My MIL had the blackened fish tacos which she found it to be a little spicy for her but she did like it. She only ate one of her two tacos since there was a lot of rice and beans to fill you up. Great themed place to check out when you're in Falls Church. ”
