      Stopped in because it was on our walking path from the garage to The Fillmore. When they seated us, I probably should have noped out: the seat they placed me in felt like it was a sneeze away from collapsing; they were storing boxes of to go containers under the at-the-bar seating area, meaning I had no leg room while sitting in my rickety seat; when I looked in the fish case, the fish looked tired.

      Waitress handed us a stack of menus and a single sheet for selecting sushi. I always get nigiri while wife always gets sashimi. We clearly marked our respective selections and the waitress assured us she understood which pieces were to be which. However, when the plate was served over to us, what should have been nigiri was sashimi and vice versa. We didn't have time to wait for them to remake it, so we made do.

      Honestly, with as indifferent as the sushi was, correcting the swap wouldn't have markedly improved things. Honestly, the sushi at Wegmans is better and Wegmans at least prepares the rice correctly.

      For the most part, pizza in this part of Fairfax county/Alexandria is garbage. Pizza here is pretty good, just pricy for the quality (at a better value-point, I'd have given four stars). Crust is good. Toppings are decent, if skimpy. Tomato sauce is unremarkable.

      Gave these guys a try because the drive to either Pupatella or Osteria Marzano weren't drives I felt like making, today.

      I cannot recommend this service highly enough. From their phone people, to their vets to their crisis managers, everyone conveys a due sense of care and concern. While one never wants to need such a service, if you've not been through it before, it's nearly impossible to state how helpful it is to have such a service.

      Having pets means that you will inevitably have see them onwards. I've had pets since childhood. This means I've lost pets across four decades. And while the legacy, in-office euthanasia has greatly improved over that span, you still don't get the comforting and care and gentleness from them that you do from Lap of Love. It really does feel like the most peaceful way to send them in and the best parting gift you can give your companion and yourself.

      They've been at this location for forever, now. They were closed for renovations, but other Yelpers reported it as permanently close, so can't leave reviews on their original page. Given their prior reviews, the Ownership is probably happy enough to have been able to jettison those reviews.

      Wish I could say that things have improved with the renovations, but they decidedly have not.

      Hopped into the drivethrough line a few minutes before 1600. There was one car sitting at the (cash) payment window (seriously: why have a window just for cash payments but have credit-card users pay AT the food delivery window???), me and another car at the two, parallel order kiosks. I ordered two soft taco supreme meals - one with beans instead of ground beef the other with steak instead of ground beef - each with a water. On the menu, one showed up with the "Sup" tag while the other did not. Asked the order-taker if both were actually Supremes. She assured me they were. Both were the same price, so I shrugged and moved on. Went to the first window and, after waiting 10ish minutes for the car that was there to move on, get told by the person there "this is the cash window"(???) ...ooookaaay. Takes a further ten minutes for the car ahead of me to get done paying for and receiving her food. Get to the window, hand them my card. I say to my wife, "check the bag to make sure they made the correct meat substitutions". They eventually hand me my card back followed a minute later by our bag. Slow, but still far faster than the previous vehicle. I was momentarily happy that we'd gotten our food so quickly after such an extraordinarily long was (during not lunch or dinner rush - go figure). I pull up so next car can get complete their transactions and pause so wife can inspect the food order for correctness. She tells me the meats were correct, so I drive out of the lot. We're about a block away when wife notes that the food was cold ...presumably because it had been waiting in a bag for 10 minutes while the person ahead of us sorted out their order. Sub-ideal, but not a "turn the heck around and try to get an actually warm order" - it's Taco Bell so warm or cold isn't really going to make much difference on enjoyableness.

      By the time I get home, I'm quite hangry. Open my food up to find that my "Supreme" tacos are a few chunks of "steak", lettuce and a bare *hint* of cheese. Not what I'm used to when I order a "Supreme". Wife's tacos are just fine.

      So, 20 minutes to get cold "fast" food that's incorrectly made. Wish I'd have ordered through DoorDash or whatever as I could have gotten a refund on the food.

      Who the hell thinks THIS is "Supreme"???

      I realize that with reduced foot traffic, they may not be able to turn over their selection as quickly, but...

      Their assortment of flavors is really small, their dark chocolate really isn't and their sorbetto was way too icy (crystals are expected, ice chunks are not).
