A Hidden Gem Tasting Menu Showcases a Beloved Chef’s Career in Fairfax

In our Dining Reports, we share a firsthand perspective of a recent restaurant visit, covering everything from the vibe to must-get dishes. See more in the Eater app. Legendary Virginia chef Jonathan Krinn revels in the unexpected at Elyse, from the tiny 30-seat location in Fairfax to the ingredients that range from kangaroo tartare to pan-seared sugar toads. Two years in, he has reliable local clientele that are loving what he calls his “incubator” of a five course tasting menu ($140 per person, with options for three courses) that swap out regularly for the seasons and to accommodate whatever zany produce and proteins he’s getting from producers he’s been developing relationships with for a quarter-century.

Nathan’s Dairy Bar, at 8948 Mathis Ave. in Manassas, is entering a new chapter. The ice cream shop announced the transition to new family ownership in a Nov. 8 Facebook post, welcoming longtime family friends as its new owners after 26 seasons in business. The families will continue working together through a partnership to help ensure a smooth transition while maintaining the shop’s traditions, ice cream quality and customer service, according to the announcement. “For 26 seasons, Nathan’s Dairy Bar has been more than just an ice cream shop,” the post stated. “It’s been a place where memories are made, friendships are formed, and generations of families have gathered for something sweet.” The business was founded in 2001 by Manassas resident David Hutton, who named the shop after his son, Nathan, according to the business website.
