Weston's need's to hire new help. Place is okay. We had a family dinner there. Problem we found was the waitress was just way to nosey and we had to hear her life story. She was not professional at all. All we wanted was dinner. Hope they get their ABC permit soon. We didn't even know they were open until we read about it in the Patch.

We had dinner last Friday night. The place was great. We sat near the fireplace. The portions were huge so we had to bring home dinner for another night.

I say give Weston's a try. It is so much better then a chain restaurant.

Horrible experience there, waited almost an hour for our food only to have the server reconfirm our order because we think the order never went in.

My food was cold and the extra I ordered for my food ended upmin another family member's food who didn't want the extra. Server up and quit right after that, no lie.

So is Weston's now doing Off Track Betting? I didn't know anywhere in Virginia other than Colonial Downs allowed that? What's next in Clifton, strip clubs?

We had an awesome dinner on the patio at the Clifton Pub (Main Street Pub). Walking back to the car parked across the street, checked out Westons out of curiosity. First thing I saw through the front door was the blaring light of the betting monitors, the big screen TV, entire place was empty. Huge turn off, ABC sign on the door, had no idea whether it was serving yet or not, but the betting made the place look sleazy. I give it less than six months. No one has money in this day and age for beer, let alone betting. What idiot came up with that idea?

For the love of god, why would they put in betting machines. Isn't that illegal?
Why doesn't someone with a brain gut the kitchen and put in some pizza ovens. That and a menu like Ciro's and they would make a killing.

Weston's is okay. Food is good. The staff is the problem. The place needs new people to wait on the tables. What a pain it is to have to tell a woman to leave you alone. Simple but true. Better staff better business. In time I think thing's will turn around for them. I hope so. My girlfriend and I will try again.

Looks like the Weston's folks are butt hurt that their business failed.

Clifton finally has a restaurant that has great food and a wonderful new owner. I have eaten there quite a few times and the food is great. I plan on going back and I have told all my friends to come check it out. I think its great to be able to bet on horses, what a fantastic idea. Once they get their liquor license, they will be open full time.

Drove by Weston's over the holiday. Glad to see they used the best font possible when laser printing their sign.

Seriously, OTB machines, no ABC license...these guys won't be around very long.

It sounds like the venture was under-capitalized.

Likely they planned on getting a liquor license and making a significant portion of their profits on drink sales as a new local watering hole, as close to a bar or a pub as Virginia Law will allow. When that got hung up, they didn't have enough money to delay opening until the process was resolved (the lack of a soda fountain may be evidence of this) and decided to open as a "family" restaurant.

Since there are already a thousand family restaurants in Fairfax County, most of them cheaper, this pretty much put a bullet in that nag. They probably weren't making enough money to cover their operating costs, which is why they've shut down.

Now, the question is, do they have enough money to cover the fixed costs while they're shuttered and trying to push through getting a liquor license, or can they raise it somehow? If the answer is no, then they're probably closed for good.
