The Early Word on Bartaco at Reston Town Center

The highly anticipated Bartaco has been open now at Reston Town Center for nearly two months, and the reviews are pouring in — 108 so far on Yelp — with an overall rating of four stars (out of five).

Most people understand that new businesses — and restaurants especially — need time to get the kinks out. From the reviews, it appears customers are happy (although we did see a few mentions of the restaurant being a little on the loud side and tables being somewhat close together).

With that in mind, here’s a look at what customers are saying already, just two months in:

• Food: “My favorites so far are the pork belly and the sesame ribeye, but they are all delicious.” says David K.
• Service: “And the service was wonderful. Seriously wonderful. Our food came out quick (but not too quick), and servers or managers seemed to stop by our table every-so-often to ask if everything was OK or did we need anything. Maybe someone from corporate headquarters was doing an inspection, or perhaps we were mistaken for restaurant reviewers? Regardless, the helpful and pleasant attitude of the staff allows me to give this place a five star rating (which I hardly do).” says Adam F.
• Decor: “I love this addition to Reston Town Center! Bartaco is a very cute restaurant located next to World of Beer. The décor is nautical themed. I seriously felt like I was at the beach.” Jennifer N.
