After a New Year's Eve proposal, Jillian Parker and Paul Blakeslee decided to borrow a page from Marie Antoinette's playbook for their opulent New England wedding.
The 19th-century reception site near Cape Elizabeth, Maine, proved a unique backdrop for their chosen theme: Versailles. To bring together the couples' home state and their foreign inspiration, they set the stage in Maine, and Sofia Coppola's "Marie Antoinette" inspired a rich palette of teal, pale pink, and gold, which played the starring role.
The couple's monogram appeared inside a crest with a coat of arms inspired by Marie Antoinette. Its border was borrowed from a box of Laduree macarons from Paris, and the teal-and-gold envelope liner echoed the pattern on the bottle of St-Germain elderflower liqueur, which was used in a signature drink. Each guest also received accommodation information, an itinerary, and a reply card, bound with a matching paper sleeve (papelpress.com).
The Barn on Walnut Hill is a turn-of-the-century renovated barn and farmhouse whose attached chicken coop was turned into a wet bar for the reception.
Paul, a clinical dietitian and culinary school grad, spared no flavor while dreaming up their menu. Oysters, reminiscent of the couple's first date, were followed by greens dressed with a vinaigrette that showcased his family's maple syrup, and a small cup of gazpacho, a nod to Jillian's Texas roots. The main course, rack of lamb, paid tribute to a Valentine's Day meal he had once prepared for his future bride.
Dinner menus featured hand calligraphy, gold engraving, and a Marie Antoinette design.
The red velvet wedding cake is topped with an urn holding roses, hydrangeas, and gardenias (twofatcatsbakery.com).

Swept along in traffic — too many cars driving too fast on two lanes — I caught a momentary glimpse of a farm cart rolling along the roadside.
It was a scene from old Cuba come to America: an old man driving a wooden homemade cart outfitted with automobile wheels. The jerry-rigged contraption was pulled by a white pony that seemed much too small for the job. A damn near perfect photograph flashing by the passenger-side window. An illustration, oozing with charm, showing just why we need to save this rural stretch of Krome Avenue from bulldozers.
But escaping from the stream of traffic was not so easy. It was a half-mile or more before I found a safe place to pull off the road. Even then, minutes passed before a gap appeared in the traffic giving me time to turn around and nose into the northbound lane.
By the time I got back up the road, the cart must have turned off. A pictorial argument for saving Krome had disappeared from sight while I was jammed up in traffic. And there's the contradiction.
Krome Avenue cuts through swamps and groves and fields of row crops. Along stretches, tall stands of pine and melaleuca loom close enough to the berm to shade the asphalt from the late-afternoon sun. But the road is no pastoral escape from the dreary suburbs. Not with so much traffic. Drivers who allow themselves to be distracted by the rural landscape are apt to find out why they call this road Killer Krome.
The two lanes carry two incompatible realities along the 37-mile road, also known as State Road 997, on the western reaches of the Miami-Dade suburbs.
The traffic clearly is too much for a two-lane road. That's one reality. Agricultural and conservation zoning and the county master plan may have kept the subdivisions and strip shopping centers a few miles east of Krome Avenue, but the planners weren't able to fend off the suburban traffic jams.
In those throngs, impatient or drunken or distracted drivers will inevitably stray into the oncoming lane, giving the road its ignominious nickname along with the title as Miami-Dade County's most dangerous stretch of road.
This isn't news. A decade ago, when the fatality rate along Krome rose to 3.7 times the state average for comparable roads, a ferocious debate broke out about widening it. Herald reporter Meg Laughlin wrote, "In its unforgiving history, Krome Avenue has left scores of grieving loved ones, as well as neighbors and commissioners fighting over what should be done to make it safer. Simply put, the Battle of Krome is whether to leave it two lanes with shoulders added or make it four lanes with a barrier median."
It's not as though traffic has become tamer over the past decade. But four-laning Krome would summon forth that other unhappy reality of South Florida road building: Build it, and they will come. The land speculators. The subdivision builders. The strip-mall developers. The gas stations and the fast-food joints and the convenience stores. And so much for the farms and the trees and the swamps.
Roads built to relieve congestion spawn more sprawl and more congestion. Consider Interstate 595, built to funnel Broward County commuters off their overburdened city streets. It was a road built to ease congestion. Instead, the freeway, finished in 1989, ignited a residential and commercial building frenzy that, for several years, made Broward the fastest-growing county in the nation. And I-595 was jammed to capacity by 1996. (The road is currently ripped asunder as builders add reversible toll lanes, the latest answer to too much congestion.)

The removal of the patrol overnight exemption was just after your SM HB. We discussed it here:
OGE, sure, I'm using a little hyperbole. But, I sincerely believe our citizens are better served by properly trained patrols of scouts out in the field. Having to coordinate a rendezvous with adults for their overnight unnecessarily limits the range of a patrol.
Announcement Module
No announcement yet.
The Bureaucracy of Scouting
Page Title Module
I am no stranger to hyperbole, but equating the end of patrol overnights without adults to the murder of a human is not scoutlike
First, I agree with OGE. No surprise there.
Second, acco, as Beavah often makes the point (though not in his words) ... Able to parse BSA program materials for inconsistencies? You betcha!
RichardB, that bubblewrapping National Professional protector of Scouts from all risks remotely imaginable, was the one who basically declared it here.
He wanted his name to be forever associated with what he destroyed.
Too soon?
The point all you Wood Badge enthusiasts are intentionally obscuring is that you "parse" the droppings of your office cubical "leadership skills" role-models, for rules that (in what Baden-Powell called Scouting) should be provided in a copy of Policy, Organization, & Rules (PO&R) given to each and every Scouter.
No surprise there.
B-P's last PO&R:
If Baden-Powell initiated the Boy Scout program to teach youth such a flippant attitude to human life, then perhaps its a good thing it's being erradicated(This message has been edited by OldGreyEagle)
Appropriate adult leadership must be present for all overnight Scouting activities...
So if there is no appropriate adult leadership present, then it isn't a Scouting activity, ergo it's not subject to BSA rules.
Which is just a fancy way of saying a group of friends can get together and do whatever their parents allow them to do. The only two things the G2SS does are a) give BSA a fig leaf to avoid liability if something goes wrong, and b) make it harder for the SM to guide the Scouts in planning and conducting a safe overnight activity, thereby increasing the odds of something going wrong.
It is a perfect exercise in bureaucracy - increasing the chance of trouble while decreasing the accountability for it.
Pardon me if while growing up reading the "Scouts in Action" section of Boys Life about medal of honor recipients who while on an overnight with their patrol, happened to complete a rescue of some hapless stranger that I took it to mean that "patrols, well prepared, save lives."
Heck, I remember one time while hiking with my buddies (back in the day when you just got together and did those sorts of things) that we crossed a pipeline and smelled gas. We hustled home and reported it. There's no telling if it amounted to a big problem or not. But that's what I think patrols should be doing: covering their community and taking a little responsibility for it.
That's why I will still support any group of youth who come to me with a plan to go hiking and camping on their own, and help them have a solid plan.
Put too many layers of bureaucracy in their way, and you have groups of guys who stay home and play video games.
Unfortunatly I've seen first hand good adults leaving the program due to the bureaucracy at council and national. At a certain point a person starts to ask themselves is it worth it?
Really folks? Chapman? I liked the Star Wars analogies much better.
And don't go getting the basement guy started on 5 shot J-frame revolvers.......
As to the topic at hand.
Perhaps one could look at the role of the national council as developing program. The program is delivered locally via local councils and community organizations. Could it be that the program is not being delivered as desired, designed or in the best interest of youth?
Think about it......
RichardB writes:
I liked the Star Wars analogies much better.
The one where you take Luke's laser away, and replace it with leadership skills and ethical choices?
The thing is, councils take national's attempt to simplify things (like the tour plan instead of a goofy array of tour permits) and bludgeon volunteers with them (like attempting to require them for every gathering outside your regular place of business).
The medical form is now a small novel. On the bright side, if one of our languages is ever lost to history, archaeologists will now be able to use it as a Rosetta stone.
And everyone waves that insurance bogey man!
Simple program changes can be stifling. An SM gets wind of boys planning to camp at Farmer Ben's, they already have someone who will take them in their land speeder and pick hem up after breakfast the next day. Rather than supporting them, he -- having never read an original handbook or looked on Kudu's site --requires them to have an adult present. No adult is available to go. Trip gets cancelled. The empire's hold on the galaxy strengthens.
Okay, it's a stinky Star Wars analogy, but you get the picture.
"The one where you take Luke's laser away, and replace it with leadership skills and ethical choices? "
I am pretty sure the Jedi believed in Servant Leadership and the Jedi respected Life, in any form
Okay, so now its the council beating folks or some insurance company? It's a vicious circle that keeps repeating. "We" are the solution to move the movement forward. "they" are just the scapegoats and execuses. What can you do to move the movement forward? Do it. Repeat.
Believe it or not, the bureaucracy problem is 10 times worse at the Cub Scout level. Bureaucracy is probably not really the best word, but it fits in the way this discussion is going.
Less than 50% of Webelos crossover to the troops. That means the BSA has looses around 50% of all its 10 year old scouts. That is just the 10 year olds, what if we add the average losses of the younger scouts ages. The BSA could be loosing maybe as much as 75% of the Cub families before the scouts reach the Boy Scout age.
I know there are several contributers to the losses, but it basically comes down to bureaucracy. We have to understand that most boys at the cub age do what their parents tell them to do. If the BSA looses the parents at the cub age, they lost the kids forever.
And while I agree that liability is a big driver of bureaucracy at the troop level, membership is driving it at the cub level. Tigers alone requires three times more volunteer time to manage than any other age group because of scout's maturity. That is not including the required participation of parents.
Experts say that volunteer organizations can expect an average of 20 months from their volunteers. That is less than two years and the Cub program is five years long.
Scouting is hard and bureaucracy is a major contributer. As much as I hate the requirement for adults at Patrol campouts, it's moot if the scouts are driven out of scouting before they even reach the troop program.

In these cases, an agency may make a permanent, temporary, or time-limited appointment. Disabled veterans may also be considered under special hiring programs for disabled veterans with disability ratings from the Department of Veterans Affairs of 30 percent or more.
To Qualify
Proof of Disability: To qualify for employment under Schedule A, a person must provide Proof of Disability. An individual wishing to be hired under the Schedule A hiring authority must provide proof he or she is indeed an individual with an intellectual disability, severe physical disability, or psychiatric disability. Proof must be provided to the hiring agency before an individual can be hired.

If you are interested in being considered under the Schedule A hiring authority, send your resume, and proof of disability along with a statement of your geographic area of job interest to Selective Placement Coordinator (scroll down to Social Security Administration section) in your region. If you are a veteran with a disability and are interested in applying for employment under special hiring programs, contact the Social Security regional personnel office in your area.
The Ticket to Work (TTW) Program provides most people receiving Social Security benefits more choices for receiving employment services. It is a voluntary employment program designed for people who receive Social Security disability benefits and want to work. The goal of the program is to increase self-sufficiency for beneficiaries with disabilities and increase their opportunities and choices through employment, vocational rehabilitation, and other support services.
Under this program, Social Security issues tickets to eligible beneficiaries who may choose to assign those tickets to an Employment Network (EN) of their choice to obtain employment services, vocational rehabilitation services, or other support services needed to achieve a vocational goal. The EN, if they accept the ticket, will coordinate and provide appropriate services to help the beneficiary find and maintain employment.
Elegibility Requirements: The Ticket to Work Program is available to current beneficiaries of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) age 18 through 64; and to current beneficiaries of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, age 18 through 64.
- Employment: Social Security issues beneficiaries a ticket that may be used to obtain employment support services from an expanded pool of employment providers called Employment Networks (ENs). An EN is an organization (State or local, public or private) that enters into a contract with Social Security with the intention of coordinating and delivering employment services, VR services, and/or other support services under the Ticket to Work Program. These services are provided by the EN to Social Security beneficiaries who have assigned their Tickets to the EN which has accepted the Ticket. An EN may not charge a person for services provided. Beneficiaries who choose to work with an EN, including a state VR agency, may be exempt from initiation of a medical continuing disability review, if they are meeting certain goals toward becoming economically self-sufficient.
- Vocational Rehabilitation (VR): Social Security provides funding to State VR agencies to support them in their efforts to help prepare people with disabilities for jobs and teach job skills. In their partnership with Social Security, the services State VR's provide must result in the individual's return to work for at least nine continuous months at a substantial earnings level as determined by Social Security.
- Private and Public Support Service Providers: The TTW program is meant to encourage partnerships and opportunities for meaningful cooperation between agencies which assist people with disabilities to work. A person with a Ticket may choose between being served by a provider approved by SSA to function as an EN or being served by the State VR agency.
Work incentives help beneficiaries remove barriers to work by offering support services and providing a safety net to assist beneficiaries in finding meaningful employment and succeeding in the workplace.
Examples of work incentives are the delay of Continuing Disability Reviews (CDRs) while using a Ticket, extended Medicare while working, and expedited reinstatement of benefits for those who may not be able to continue their work efforts.
- Beneficiaries can choose to use their Ticket because the TTW program is free and voluntary
- There is no need to worry if a Ticket is lost since the actual Ticket is not required to participate
- The TTW program helps people to access vocational rehabilitation, training, and placement services
- A combination of work incentives can be used to explore work options and still receive benefits
- If a work attempt is unsuccessful, beneficiaries can get back on Social Security benefits
A reasonable accommodation is any modification or adjustment to a job or change in the work environment that enables a person with a disability to compete equally or perform the essential functions of the position. Reasonable accommodation also includes adjustments to assure that a person with a disability has equal benefits and privileges of employment enjoyed by other similarly situated employees without disabilities. The accommodation must be job related and not for personal use (e.g. hearing aids, prosthetic devices, wheelchairs, and transportation to work).
Congratulations to Patricia Naumann, Manager of the Manitowoc, Wisconsin Social Security office, for being named an Employee of the Year by CAREERS & the disABLED magazine. Pat earned this prestigious title for her professional and advocacy efforts on behalf of people with disabilities in the workplace.
After earning her Master's degree from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Pat began her career at SSA in 1982. She worked her way up through the ranks, proving her merit and qualifications at each level of her career until being competitively chosen to be the Manager of the Manitowoc office in October 2004.
Reaching this level in her career is particularly noteworthy, and even remarkable, because Pat has a vision impairment which has left her blind since childhood. Her story is a triumphant testimonial to the valuable contributions that members of the "disabled" community can deliver to our society when they are afforded the tools and opportunity to do so.
Pat has developed into a "power user" of the assistive technologies which provide impaired persons with equal access to employment opportunities. Recognizing the value this has had for her, she has been extremely proactive in volunteering to train and counsel other visually impaired persons in the use of these technologies. Pat has frequently traveled throughout the Midwest as a member of the Chicago Region Employees with Disabilities Training Cadre, whose mission is to provide support for employees who require the use of screen reading software while performing their job duties.
Pat does not perceive her limited sight as an insurmountable barrier, choosing instead to treat it as an inconvenient obstacle that she is eagerly confident of overcoming. As a result, Pat is, and always has been, a ground-breaking pioneer in opening up the workplace to persons with disabilities, for whom she has served as both an example and an inspiration.

William J. Bowman, or as he is more commonly known, "Billy," has been with SSA for over 25 years. After receiving his Bachelor of Arts degree from Gallaudet University, Billy began his SSA career in the Office of Operations holding various positions, including Benefits Authorizer, working his way up to his current position as a Public Affairs Specialist with the Office of Communications.
As a Public Affairs Specialist, Billy's job is to communicate with SSA constituents providing clear and accurate information on the programs and policies of SSA. His success in his position is a testament to Billy's drive and ability to overcome the inherent communication barriers for the Deaf. In his position, Billy has become a nationally recognized lecturer within the deaf and hard of hearing community, giving numerous speeches and presenting workshops all over the country on the programs and services available at SSA. Billy has presented workshops at several conferences including the Deaf and Hard of Hearing in Government's National Training Conference, the National Association of the Deaf's 2006 Biennial Conference and the Deaf Senior Citizens Conference.
Throughout his career, Billy has continuously been a voice for SSA and Federal employees who are deaf or hard of hearing, promoting the need for sign language interpreter services and other communication technologies available which would enhance the worklife of this group of employees. Billy recently participated in the production of the Center for Disability Services Interactive Video Teletraining for educating managers on hiring, recruiting and promoting employees with disabilities.
Billy's historical dedication to this effort led him to become one of the founding members of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing in Government (DHHIG); a non-profit organization chartered in 1998, to address the need for a knowledgeable, problem-identifying and solving organization representing deaf and hard of hearing Government employees. In May 2005, Billy was selected as Executive Director of DHHIG. Billy has continuously been involved in SSA's efforts to improve sign language interpreter services and has participated in pilot programs for various technologies for the deaf or hard of hearing.
Since 2003, Billy has effectively represented SSA as a Loaned Executive in the United Way's Combined Federal Campaign (CFC). The CFC is the world's largest and most successful annual workplace charity campaign. As a Loaned Executive, Billy is responsible for 20-25 accounts, i.e., Federal agencies, requiring his guidance, support and participation in the promotion of their CFC fundraisers. During his assignment to the CFC campaign, Billy has participated in promotional videos and has been the keynote speaker at several Federal agency's CFC kick-off celebrations. Through his participation and ability to put those around him at ease, Billy has highlighted the value of disability awareness and minimized what some experience as a challenge of working with a person with a disability.

Zeffirelli Ristorante Italiano
Online Reservations
Zeffirelli's is always excellent! Both the food and the service. Whether it is one person are 12.
If you are looking for something more intimate than the chain restaurants in the Town Center try Zeffirelli's in the heart of Herndon. It reminds you of when dining out was a special occasion. The veal chop and lamb are always excellent; the fish dishes have light enough sauces to let the flavor shine through. We no longer look at the wine list, preferring to go with staff suggestions based on our meal and our taste. Lunch is great for business or pleasure; lighter fair which can mean...room for dessert.
Don't let the fact that the specialties they advertise are veal oriented. My husband and I do not eat red meat and found LOTS to satisfy. We tried two very different dishes and loved them both equally. There were 4 or 5 other menu items we look forward to trying in the future. It was my husbands birthday, so I had a cake waiting for him at home, so we went with the sorbet for dessert. They still put a candle it in to celebrate his special day. It was adorable!
Everybody was friendly. Atmosphere was relax and service was great.
The food is consistently superb, the waitstaff is friendly and competent without hovering, and the atmosphere is cozy and elegant at the same time. Zefferelli's has been our favorite restaurant for any occasion for many years.
Zeffirelli never fails to please. It is our go to for a quiet yummy Italian dinner. If I had an Italian friend it would remind me of going to their grandmother's house for dinner. The food and service is always consistently spot on.
Zeffirelli's has a well earned reputation for excellence of food, service and ambience. It's only a bit more expensive than the chain restaurants and so much better. The building itself, high ceiling and decor inside, and location at the center of old Herndon made our group feel comfortable, relaxed and special. The menu is heavy in veal dishes which were good, and the desserts were good too. Highly recommended.
Dining at Zeffirelli Ristorante is always like visiting with an old friend. We've been eating there for a decade or so. The restaurant consistently delivers terrific food dishes and never disappoints. The veal chop is simply the best in town, although a bit pricey ($48), but it is a staple for someone in our group each time we visit. The veal scallopine in lemon sauce is very tasty. My favorite dish is Lobster Diablo, which is mildly spicy and oh so delicious. The staff is first class and attentive to all your needs. The wine list is not extensive, but there are always good wines to be found at reasonable prices. We'll keep returning just as we visit our old friends over and over.
Last minute dinner plans turned out very special. Consistantly great veal chop!
My first visit to Zeffirelli. Came with a lady friend on my birthday and we had a lovely, quiet and unhurried dinner in a romantic setting. Excellent wine recommendation went perfectly with the meal. We will be back!
Food and staff were great but place is not very appropriate for dining with children.
Service was great.... food from the bread thru dessert were perfect. Had a bottle of rose that we loved. Will definitely be back!
have moved from the Herndon/Sterling area and every time I get a chance to be near, I try to make it my dinner stop. after many years, Zif hasn't change, good food and service. It's nice to find a good place that keeps the same standards year after year, some items on the menu are gone, but new yum yum dishes are there... keep up the good work.
Our first visit and we came away with all positives. Food and service were top notch. Others in our party of 6 raved as well. A bit pricey but worth it.
We have lived in the Reston area for over 25 years but never dined here until this past weekend. The food was delicious and offered something for everyone. Very traditional Italian restaurant with excellent service.
Food and service were great. Portobello Mushroom/crab cake appetizer was incredible. Decor was a little dated. Overall, I highly recommend Zeffirelli.
Another good dinner at Zeffirelli. This visit was with a well-travelled business colleague that commented quite favorably on the meal.
Dinner was awesome! The veal chop and the lamb chops were great!
Friendly, great service awesome food. Couldn't have been more enjoyable evening, we weres elated emmidiatley our server was very pleaent but effieciant. The Gerry the GM came over and check on us, had a great chat. Will be coming back often. Oh forgot the food,... My wife had the Buffalo Mozerella and fresh tomato app it was great, I had the Veal Chop for my main dish, it was spectacular.
Attention to details showed from the service to the presentation of the food. The food was cooked and presented with care and flavored with the correct spices to make it a memorable experiece.
Consistently the best in the area without a miss on the menu with the star being the Veal Chop. The wine list is focused on Italy with perhaps many unfamiliar names - so ask for recommendations - it will be well worth it.
I brought my staff to a lunch meeting at Zeffirelli's restaurant in September 2013. The restaurant is elegant, located in a quaint spot in old town Herndon, VA. The restaruant is clean, fancy, well kept and has a feel of old Italy. The staff were extremely accomodating - we were never left wanting. The food was very well prepared and at a great price. My staff have been there several times and have always had a very pleasant experience. I will be taking my wife to this restaurant for our next anniversary.
We don't go to Herndon often as we have lived in the area for so long and it just seems too close to home. But we decided to try Zeffirellis as we had not been for some years and were happy with our decision. We live in Fairfax Station so it is not a short drive but we felt is was worth the trip. The atmosphere is lovely and the service and food were also very good. The only issue I had was the price of the veal chop that my husband ordered....it was a little overpriced for the area. He orders a veal chop whenever it is on a menu and this happened to be the most expensive one he has ever ordered. And remember, we were in Herndon, not DC> But having said that we really enjoyed ourselves and we will return.
The superstar of the menu is the Veal Chop. It is predictably spectacular. In fact, it is *so* good, the rest of the menu lives in its eternal shadow. In the few times I have not had the Veal Chop, the other items I've tried are equally well-executed but admittedly that sample-set is small. However, if you only go for the Veal Chop, you will be getting a spectacular meal.
I took an associate for a business dinner. Trief the seafood & pasta special and said it was excellent - mussells, shrimp and half a lobster in a champaign cream sauce. I had the house speciality Veal Chop - it was tender and flavorful, and the paprika sauce was wonderful. The service was outstanding. I recommend Zeffirelli's to anyone who wants an authentic Italian dining experience off the beaten path.
Zeffirelli's is a great place to take friends or colleagues for a great meal. The staff are attentive and helpful and the food is always very good. I looooove the veal chop. Medium rare, always melts in your mouth...nice subtle lemon back..a great place to go with a group for special occasions or recognition. Consistently a great meal and a good time.
A year ago I didn't know Old Herndon existed, it's basically a postage stamp of "real" historic culture in a sea of affluent suburban growth just west of Reston Town Center ten minutes. Good parking, Zeffirelli's is a white table cloth, attentive presence with really good food. It's the kind of place families and couples come back to time after time, becoming a tradition. Super fresh seafood dishes, and specialize in lamb.
Our dining experience at Zeffrelli was fantastic. The server was very knowledgeable and helped with a wine selection to satisfy our group. This was a great occasion and I would 100% recommend this place to friends and family!
My veal dish was delicious, but it was not what I ordered. Either the server wasn't listening or I wasn't communicating well. I have been to this restaurant twice and both times I felt the server was trying to sell us something we didn't want. There is a difference between being helpful and being pushy. Other than the service, it is an outstanding local restaurant and I would go back again.
This is a truly great Italian restaurant, and their advertising about having the very best veal chop anywhere turns out to be real. My wife and I visited on a busy Friday night and our experience was perfection. Everything coming out of the kitchen was nearly perfect, and the service is flawless. The food is genuine Italian, the wine list is exceptional and the service solution wraps everything up that one needs for an outstanding fine dining event.
Came to DC and had to find a place that could take a same day reservation for 12 AND be good. It was a Sunday night, so we were lucky to have found Zeffirelli's. Old World Italian service, modern italian cuisine. Through appetizers, salads, main courses, desserts and several bottles of wine, there wasn't a miss in the entire bunch. Everyone had a great meal. About half the group made some sort of requested change to a dish (I'm vegetarian, so I'm usually a problem whenever I go out with a group) and every request was accommodated and was right the first time when it came out. Definitely a great find and I'll be back when in the DC area again.
Our anniversary. We were seated in little alcove by front window, somewhat private. Service was good and food was very good. Honestly, the calamari was tough for our appetizer. The lamb and shrimp entrees were excellent. We usually go there for any special occasion.
We were visiting the Reston area and wanted some great italian food. We found it here. The service was great and my friend ordered off the menu and the chef easily complied. The food was great - the wine was great. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants great food and service.
I always choose this restaurant to celebrate a special occasion. Good food and great service in a beautiful setting. Feels like you've been transported to Italy! .
Our dinner at Zeffirelli was out of this world. Although my husband and I typically do not order the same entrée (so we can taste different items) neither of us could resist the veal chops. They were incredible!
Great restaurant. Very quaint. The waiters are Italian! Food is delicious. I was quite pleased with my ceasar salad and veal scallopine with lemon & capers. The desserts were to die for as well as the cappuccino. Sadly the restaurant was not busy at lunch and my guess is that it's just more of a dinner place based on the quality and quantity of food. Do not come here if looking for a sandwich, however know that you can get a salad & appetizer that will be quite good if you aren't up for a substantial meal! I'd also like to mention that we had a holiday party here previously for a group of about 25 or 30. The staff went out of their way to please our group. We had most of the upstairs, the service was excellent, and the food was delicious.
A quiet night, but we were made to feel special by the staff. Very good selections, excellently prepared and presented. If you like Italian we recommend Zeffirelli's without reservation
We had not dined at Zefferelli's in quite a while, but we were pleased by our experience there on Saturday evening. My husband and I each enjoyed a veal entre, salad and dessert. The food was well-prepared, nicely presented, and very tasty. Service was fine, although the waiter forgot to ask if we wanted coffee and we had to call him back to order it. We had a pleasant dinner and left the restaurant comfortably satisfied. Will return again!
The mussels were fantastic. I got the leg of lamb special. Perfectly cooked and flavored!
out 4th time there, dinner was superb -- always some great special dinner options from chef, great service also.
Last minute plan and not disappointed. Quite relaxed meal, and the service as always was excellant.
Unique interior contributes to the overall charm of the dining experience. When close to full, however, it is difficult to have quiet conversations. While not high-end italian gourmet, the food is bountiful, flavorsome and presented well. I have yet to have a bad, even average meal at Ziffirelli's - a solid 8 to 8.5 on a 10 point scale.
Everything about this restaurant was fantastic. It started with a warm greeting, followed by a excellent service. Our waitress was very attentive, friendly, and helpful. The food was delicious.
This is some ofthe best Italian cuisine and service I have had the pleasure to experience. The food is fresh and excellent. The restaurant has old town charm and is great for special occasions. I highly recommend it.
Have spent all our special occasions in past couple years at this restaurant. Feel so comfortable and well taken care of when we are there.
We visited Zeffirelli's for my birthday after having visited another Italian restaurant in Herndon the past two years. It was a wise decision. The menu at Zeffirelli's is more ambitious and better executed. They did an Italian take on snails that was less garlicky than the standard escargot appetizer, resulting in a delightfully delicate flavor. Ditto the tomato-based sauce on the Linguine San Remo, which did not overpower the shellfish and pasta the way most marinaras would. While the wine list was not extensive, it did offer good variety. We shared a bottle of nebbiolo, with strong cherry and floral notes, an unusual find in a neighborhood Italian place. We plan to return to Zeffirelli's again soon.
After traveling twice in this area on business in the past month, Zerffirelli is the only restaurant I chose to return to. Great food that goes beyond the usual Italian menu, courteous service, good lighting, and a sound level that allows conversations -- all these are positive factors. I ate there once by myself and also enjoyed it; they didn't rush me, the way other area eateries did.
Love the homemade pastas, specials and flexibility in ordering and switching ingredients. A bit pricey in spots, but generally solid food, service and excellent ambience. Very good wine list...many bottles very reasonably priced under $45. I can't understand why it isn't typically more crowded than it usually is.
Very nice find. Just wish the server would have told us that the veal chop special was $48. A little sticker shock at the end.
Zeffirelli's is a great little restauraunt in the historic area of Herndon. It is warm, cozy and the food has always been delicious. The staff is welcoming and provides excellent service. I'm not a wine drinker but I have hear it has a great selection. Highly recommend this place!

- Securing sponsors that complement the global specialty coffee environment as well as the domestic scene
- Implementing an improved and more user-friendly website and social media platforms; and more.

Having been to the Square and Compass a number of years ago and had a disastrous meal we had vowed never to return. However, we started to hear good things said about the restaurant/pub and thought we'd give it another try. So glad we did. The food was very good, the prices not silly and the service was excellent. We would go again and recommend it highly to our friends. (read more)

I have visited this pub over the years and had some pleasant times there so was pleased to see that it had reopened. Firstly concerning what they can control the food was barely above average so that was a disappointment. Secondly - and I understand that this is difficult to administer - but we were placed on a table next to a crowd of children -whose parents were eating in the restaurant! It beggars belief that people expect the pub staff and other diners to look after their children!... (read more)

The Square is buzzing again and the new team, new look and great beer have rescued this fine country pub. We have eaten there five times since the re-opening and the food is definitely a step above the usual pub grub in terms of quality. For example, the burgers (my favourite) are really juicy and taste of steak - apparently they are made from locally reared beef. Guest beers like Mary Jane from Ilkley Brewery and Copper Dragon from Skipton keep me happy and there is a vast range of bottled... (read more)

No surprises as far as the food was concerned, pub food jazzed up a bit and carefully arranged on large plates. Vegetables and salads are extra and are needed to pad out the small portions. However we were saved by the exceptional quality of the beer. Will call again when the special offers start. (read more)

The Square & Compass is a very nice pub the seating is very cumfy,the decore is great the beer is great. The food is average but the portions were small and expensive and all veg was extra. The reason this pub has not done well over the last few years is because there has been no good old fashion pub grub like steak and ale pie,scampi and chips and decent deserts,it also could do with a £10 two course sunday carvery with decent portions it can be done and is been done,no more fancy food and...

This pub is a prime example why so many pubs are closing down. Waited 1 1/2 hours before the food arrived a standard Sunday beef menu with Yorkshire pudding - The first plate served was cold, the Yorkshire pudding had been out off the oven for a minimum of 10 minutes, as it was cold to the touch, carrots served were not cooked at all. Complained to waitress - the 2nd plates served the beef was sub standard fatty and overcooked, the Yorkshire pudding was burnt to a black something. The... (read more)

Since this pub has been under new management (approx 2 months) and has recruited a new Head Chef (past month), we have noticed a HUGE improvement, particularly with the delicious home-cooked food. Everything is cooked from scratch - the gravy, the custard and the soup we had (vegetable) was excellent value and served with warm French bread. Apparently you need to book in advance for Sunday lunch, as this is particularly popular with both locals and visitors. Don't be put off by past trips to... (read more)

Menu very limited no special board. Mash was off considering most things came with Mash. Was offered Cumberland Sausage with chips. Food was nice as a started not a main course because of that food slightly overpriced. The best part was the cheese board but grapes, celery and apple was missing. Staff looked board but never came down to see were we ok. On a Saturday night only us was eating and 8 locals drinking rest was empty. Was not a pinch as it was 8 year age. (read more)

We hadn't booked on Mother's Day, but turned up with 6 adults and 4 children (all under 7) and enjoyed a delicious Sunday Lunch, with homemade food, which was excellent. We all enjoyed it and are going again soon. Kids were made very welcome and allowed to use the function room adjacent to play in and were even given balloons.
The only criticism is that service seemed a little confused, all young staff, without much of a system. It was not very busy, especially for Mother's Day. Food great...

Having eagerly waited for the reopening of the Square we were in harrogate to see our son and had heard through the grapevine that it had reopened. We ordered a large dry wine 0verpriced at £5.10 and a pint of bitter that was cloudy. My chicken bagguette was about4 inches long and very chewy but my wife had the ham and brie which she enjoyed, needs a lot of work to get it back to what it was 7 or 8 years ago. Pleasant surroundings but why the doors on a dark and dingy restaurant? (read more)

Went to Square and Compass for Sunday lunch with another couple and a total of five children yesterday.

We've been to the Square and Compass before and had always had pleasant experiences, until today.

I don't understand these people who have good things to say about the food or the service at the Square and Compass in North Rigton. I would have rather gone to Burger King last Friday (17th August 2007). The "waitress" didn't so much show us to our table as point us in the right direction.
