Lounges in Alexandria, VA

“One of the best meals I've had in Alexandria, if not the best. Pimento cheese is phenomenal, the country fried steak was even better. Brought my parents who eat at high-end restaurants around the country frequently and they were blown away by the food. Server was very knowledgeable and kind. 11 out of 10“

“My wife, mother, and I went here for Christmas and had a great experience. It was a very intimate setting with not a lot of people which I liked. The food was absolutely amazing! We all got the she crab soup as an appetizer and it was delicious! For entrees my wife and I ordered the jambalaya and my mom ordered the blackened salmon. My wife and I loved the jambalaya and my mom said the salmon was excellent. Our waiter was very attentive at the beginning but as more people came in we saw her less and less. She started to forget things that we asked her for towards the end and we would not see her for quite some time. But I give her a bit of grace because it seemed to be only 2 waiters including her and they also seemed to be taking care of the bar as well which is alot! Overall we loved this restaurant and would definitely go back.“

“Vola’s has always been one of my favorite restaurants in Old Town Alexandria. Food and drinks are always fabulous. But the team and leadership is excellent. One of the managers, Phil, ensured that the requested tv channel was on and continued to check in to make sure our meals and drinks were tasty. I made the mistake of forgetting my leftovers, and we went back and explained what happened. Phil made sure to take care of the situation and provided me the meal that i had. THANK YOU PHIL! there wee many restaurants who wouldn’t care about a customer mistake, but he went out of his way to set the standards high. Thank you, thank you, thank you!“

“First time back since renovations and wow what a story this place is. It started with the chicken & waffles. The meat was really pink and hard to bite into so I decided to do french toast instead. (Minus the almond cookies.) and it was delicious but it was soft as butter so I had to request a spoon 😮 On top of that, the bartender complimented not only my neurodivergent tattoos 🏳️‍🌈♾️ but also gave me a free mocktail. Though I will warn you it’s real strong. I tasted mostly lemon but it had a hint of maple and tea. Which is ironic because strong taste is why I prefer tea over coffee (if I had to pick between the two). Regardless, these people deserve some love especially in the economic crises we have.“

“This was my second visit and somehow it was even better than the first. The drinks menu is genuinely one of a kind — creative, carefully crafted, and unlike anything else in the city. The overall dining experience is truly unparalleled; from the moment you walk in, everything feels exceptional. The service is first class in every sense, and Will in particular went above and beyond — an absolute gem. This place has my heart. I’ll keep coming back!“

“The owners and staff are top notch. Fabulous food!!“

“We sat outside, which was very nice, the tuna tartare appetizer was fantastic, the mahi mahi main and sides were perfectly cooked, and the flourless chocolate cake was the best I have ever had! My husband loves the fact that one can now order Hi-Fi BBQ when eating at Evening Star.“

“Flavor was redundant, but you definitely get what you pay for. The crab cakes were the best thing on the menu and we loved how it was actually a crab cake! A lot of places call a piece of fried bread with some crab meat ij it a crab cake, but not Vola's, they are the real deal! Matisse was our waitress and she was great!“

“This restaurant was great the food tasty and cooked to perfection! I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. My husband and I will definitely dine here again! The price very reasonable and you got a lot of food for the money. They were not stingy with the food portions! You will not be disappointed😊“
