The Bentley Room Restaurant 200 Desoto St, Alexandria Seafood • $$
200 Desoto St, Alexandria

“For dinner... our appetizer was Crawfish Bread & entrees were the Catfish Jenkins with blackened catfish, side of sweet potatoes, & Red Beans & Rice with fried catfish & side of Crawfish Mac & Cheese.Crawfish Bread: very good, super cheesy, slightly soggy.Catfish Jenkins : delicious, but order the fish fried, because the blackened is bland. We plan to order this again.Sweet Potatoes: amazing!!!Beans & Rice: also delicious, but different than what we expected; smokey, subtle flavor. We do recommend this.Crawfish Mac: we wished it was listed as an entree!Dessert: both the Strawberry Cheesecake & Banana Bread Pudding were excellent!! 10/10 HIGHLY recommend. I will likely be back just for dessert!Brunch was...Shrimp & Grits: fabulous; the gouda & creamy sauce MADE this dish; if you need NO shell, request the tails off! Otherwise, tails are on.Sunnyside up eggs, Sausage, Biscuit, & Hashbrown patties: eggs were good, as were potatoes, sausage was bland & greasy.Sweet tea is what you expect for good tea!Peaceful, enjoyable environment. History all over the building.At the front desk of restaurant, ask for Molly! She was so attentive at dinner. We were very impressed with her service.”

“Great authentic Vietnamese food secretly hidden here in town. Their Ga Nuong (grilled chicken dish) was very good and I should have ordered another to go ?. Next time I will definitely try their Pho or Cha Cha. The customer service was awesome as well. While traveling I find it very rare to find such an authentic Vietnamese place serving up wonderful homemade dishes. They also have a store next door, which you can purchase authentic Vietnamese foods as well. Will definitely recommend...?”

“In the area for work. I was finally able to visit this place especially since they are only open for 3 hours or so. I ended up ordering the Crawfish Etouffee w/catfish. The sides were potato salad and corn. The Etouffee was pretty decent only complaint is the rice was a little sticky. The fish was well cooked and moist ( just a little salty).”
