Enjoyed the ambience,service and most of the food. But two things brought this down to 3 star. The expensive filet unfortunately was cooked medium not medium rare and the flavor and texture was lacking. Brought this to the attention of the servers and there was no adjustment to bill or offer of anything other than an apology which left me feeling disappointed. Was desiring the lobster quesadilla and the dgr for steak but they didn't have lobster, which on a prime night shouldn't happen. So had to do other things. Other than that, the service was top notch. The bread and butter is absolutely delicious. Could have eaten that as a meal. The lamb pops were also flavorful. The drinks were fantastic. Had the devils candy wine which was syrupy but nice and diamond martini and it was refreshing. The shrimp on top of the steak were well seasoned and cooked perfectly. Would have eaten that as an entree. The bernaise sauce added was ok but didn't help the mushy over cooked filet. The risotto was also just ok.

Food is OK. Service is great and those drinks are so good. It's a nice place to go for special occasions.

Just happened to see the website, and we are serious foodies and thought it would be a great place to dine on our one night in Alexandria. We were amazed at the quality of food and historic decor of this restaurant. The blueberry bread pudding was in the top 5 of any I have ever eaten. The sea bass was perfectly prepared. Our waiter , Trevon, was gracious and full of vitality. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and wine selections. You won’t be disappointed eating in this restaurant.

The Diamond Grill went above and beyond hospitality this past weekend. We had dinner there 1/19/24 which was absolutely outstanding. And, then... We mentioned to the bartender, Stephen, that we were looking for a place within walking distance of our hotel (Hotel Bentley) to go and have cocktails and watch one of the NFL playoff games on 1/20/24. They don't normally open until after 4 pm, but Stephen told us he gets to work around 3 pm for prep and invited us to come in to watch the game (even though not open). We took him up on his offer, immediately! This was so unexpected and greatly appreciated. We had a great time. Stephen & Megan took good care of us. We will definitely return if ever in Alexandria again! The staff and atmosphere was so warm and welcoming despite the 23 degree weather! Thank you staff and management for your gracious hospitality!

Took me a while to review but went there a few months ago. The staff and the food are wonderful. Everything was delicious. I really enjoyed myself. The staff were very polite and the service was amazing. I would definitely recommend and will visit again.

Disappointing. The food was mediocre and overpriced for no reason. We ordered seafood pasta which was overcooked and stuck together in weird tasting sauce. It barely had any seafood, only some shrimps. "Red fish" looked and tasted like cheap tilapia and was way too salty. Spinach didn't taste good. It should be a shame to change $40 for a dish, which are so badly cooked. You overpay just to stare at pretty ceiling in this place. Our server was pleasant, which was the only thing out of our whole experience.

The Diamond Grill is the best! Their service is unmatched! They make you feel like royalty every time you dine there. The vibes are amazing and it’s a beautiful interior. The food is exquisite. From the steaks to the fish to the desserts and drinks. Felt like I was dining at a New York restaurant.
Exceptional service and delicious food! Our new favorite

Trevon! I believe that's how you spell it, was the BEST waiter I have ever had. He was so kind and so happy and honesty the only reason I would go back. I'm so happy we had the chance to meet him and have such a lovely evening. Thank you trevon for your wonderful service. You are truly something special and I'm so happy we got to be your table. Thank you again.

This place is amazing. What a delightful find. I had Sea Bass which can be tricky and test a good kitchen. It was amazing. The location, in an fully restored old jewelry store provides a magical background. It was better than any meal I had in New Orleans. It is not cheap, but it is worthy.

Diamond Grill is the best place to eat / fine dine in the Alexandria area. Good food, service and atmosphere. Travon was our waiter and he was fantastic. He was attentive and friendly. We started with side salads. My mom enjoyed her house salad and I loved the Caesar. Their dressings are so good! The fluffy buttery bread is delicious. We split the Creole spicy pasta. It had great flavor but the pasta was over cooked and soggy. I liked the chicken, sun dried tomato and artichoke. Overall it was a great evening. definitely make reservations ahead of time. We had a lovely table upstairs overlooking the restaurant. There's a small bar upstairs as well. Thank you Travon & Diamond Grill

Service isn't...can't get wait on. Got up and left for the second time. Why would I want to go back or suggest someone else should?
