Since opening in 2017 in the Brambleton Town Center, Ahso has been Chef/Sommelier Jason Maddens’ playground for modern American cooking with a restless streak. The menu shifts often—sometimes dramatically—because sticking to the same lineup feels like homework. Local farms keep the kitchen inspired, while the bar team fuels the fun with sharp cocktails and a wine list that doesn’t take itself too seriously.The dining room is equal parts polish and edge: concrete floors, deep blue walls, copper touches, and the kind of warm glow that makes you look like you chose the right place. Guests can build their own meal from the à la carte menu or hand over the reins for a five-course tasting with pairings that actually make sense.Come with friends, come curious, and don’t worry—we’ll make sure your first visit won’t be your last.

Filomena does not ever disappoint. The service from Maria was second to none, special attention was given to us for our anniversary. The food was nice and hot, the bread excellent and deserts were fantastic. It was a busy evening as usual, but service was still excellent. Can’t wait to plan my next outing to Filomena.
