Modern American creative fare from local chefs in open kitchen
"A Vienna-based modern American fine-dining destination known for Bolognese, Alaskan halibut, and inventive tasting menus from chef Matthew Cockrell is expanding with a second location at the foot of Fannie Mae’s high-rise in Reston Town Center (1996 Opportunity Way, Reston, Virginia), slated to open next spring." - Tierney Plumb
"This restaurant, which had been temporarily closed for some time, got a recent reboot from Green Pig alumn Tracy O’Grady (who has brought her penchant for fun happy hour menus to the new location). Find dishes like cornflake-crusted schnitzel and foie gras-stuffed chicken on the current dinner menu, which also has a $110 tasting menu option." - Missy Frederick
"After operating Vienna gem Clarity for seven years and powering through the pandemic, Krinn stepped back in late 2021 to focus on consulting and private prix fixe dinners; at Clarity he was known for a daring use of unexpected ingredients, a style he continues at his new, smaller tasting-menu restaurant. Clarity is now run by Tracy O'Grady, the former chef of Green Pig Bistro." - Emily Venezky
"At Clarity in Vienna, Jon Krinn treated the crisis as an opportunity to expand and enhance the restaurant experience by turning a parking lot into a memorable dining room and adding an outdoor kitchen to an already creative venture, embracing a mantra of diversification." - Gabe Hiatt
"Vienna’s essential small-plates restaurant returned online with lunch and staff favorites available for pickup or delivery." - Tierney Plumb
