New American Restaurants in Alexandria, VA

“The Sea Bass was a total suprise. More often than not I am dissapointed when I order fish. Not the case here. The presentation was superb. The blend of flavors, textures and colors was an epicurean delight. Our waiter/bartender Damany was thoughtful, always on point without being intrusive. The whole experience was one worth repeating.“

“Amazing Steakhouse ?,,,,!!!!!! Incredibly delicious!!!! Quality in Every Way!!!!“

“We are from Ohio visiting the area and Tim was GREAT! Very personable and gave us some great tips! Food was great too!“

“Always a great place to stop for food and drink.“

“From the moment we stepped through the doors of Jula's on the Potomac, we knew we were in for a special experience. Everyone's dish was a masterstroke. From start to finish, Jula's on the Potomac delivered an experience that was thoughtful, refined, and full of heart. It’s the kind of place that turns a dinner into a memory. Five stars without hesitation. My wife will never forget her 50th Birthday celebration brunch. Bishop Avery Kinney Sr. will be back—and bringing everyone he knows. It was worth the drive from Richmond. ❤💯“

“A solid restaurant, servers are responsive. We visited during brunch so they were very busy. We order a variety of dishes. We were satisfied with most except the grits. The dishes with grits are not made in a southern style grit. It’s a completely different grit . So if you like southern style grits these grits will not be for you. The staff was very responsive in trying to acomódate after sending back the dishes.“

“When we come up from Atlanta to visit family in Alexandria, Aldo’s is a must visit. The service and food are excellent. It is a must visit and multiple occasions for our family. Consistent excellence.“

“We were welcomed with warmth, seated swiftly at a perfect table, and we had ample opportunity to review the menu and make our selections. The food was fabulous from the bread to the scallops to the salmon and the steak frites. And, of course, the dessert was perfect, though it was a difficult choice. A perfect evening.“

“been going there for over 25 years!Great food!.Jack Daniels shrimp is always a hit!“

“Great find! Good music and great food!“

“Burtons is such a blessing for those with allergies! Staff are highly trained, and everything is labeled so carefully! Every server has been top notch and the food is amazing!“

“Borrowing from their words. More than 30 years later, the Silver Diner has gone from a nostalgic American icon serving affordable family food to a highly overrated restaurant serving overpriced food that allegedly reflect’s today’s lifestyles. But the one thing that will never change is the stench of their restrooms throughout the diner.“

“I don’t ever leave reviews due to my laziness, but today I decided to leave my very first review for this lovely place! This is our first experience at The Study. I honestly didn’t know what to expect as the restaurant seemed quite small.

We knew about the l live piano performance but it exceeded our expectations. Derek’s performance was so lovely and he sings really well! We love musics like such so it definitely made our experience even better!

Sean served us and he is absolutely a pleasant person to be greeted by - very friendly and sweet. Take his recs!

The food? It absolutely blew my mind - so healthy, clean, yet very flavorful. I can tell that ingredients were very fresh. We had arroz con mariscos and fried fish with avocado rice. I got obsessed with the avocado rice that came with the fried fish - rich in olive oil and lime (i think)! We absolutely cleared our plates leaving nothing behind. Chef Guzman gave us complimentary gaspachos and desserts for us to try and she came to ask how things were, which I thought was lovely.

Cocktails - delicious!! we had the one with coconut cream and another one with guava. SO GOOD! I think we’d even come back just for the drinks as well.

We already know that we’ll be back here again very soon. Before coming in I thought it was a bit pricey but having had the experience the experience is worth every penny. I highly recommend for cozy family dinners and date nights. You won’t regret!!“

“Wonderful food and experience“

“The food was delicious. We had a large group but the service was very good. I will definitely visit again“

“Our server Jayla was awesome! She was very friendly. We went on a Saturday afternoon around 2 p.m. weather was gorgeous outside and the outdoor patio was well covered, but we decided to sit inside. The restaurant wasn't too crowded. Jayla asked if it was our first time at Blackwall Hitch, which it was, so she went over the local favorites. She recommended the flaming crab dip and it was delicious!!! Jayla offered us extra Naan chips which I thought was generous for an upscale restaurant. I asked if she could bring us extra with a to-go box to take the rest of the dip. We also had the mahi mahi tacos and chicken-pancetta flatbread - both were great. Jayla often checked on us. We had a lovely time and the service was great! Thank you!“

“Husband and I both got 2 meat platter because we wanted leftovers. It’s enough food for 3 meals easy. Everything was delicious!! My favorites were the brisket, cucumber salad and cornbread. Donna’s got it going on cause her food is full of flavor!!“

“food was amazing. Korean BBQ wings, spaghetti and meatballs, custom pizza, all of it tasted amazing. Nice ambiance and pretty great location.“

“First, I love Rock It Grill.
And now, the list can begin.
As a visitor for the first time I knew that Rock It was home. I love karaoke. Upon entering, I was greeted by at least 3 people that worked there.
I found out by listening to the other patrons that they do karaoke there. I LOVE KARAOKE. So, as I sipped my drink and ate my wings (which were amazing) I noticed that I had less than an hour until I could be an American Idol, I was ready. There was a DJ there that was also doing a sound check so I knew Rock It Grill was where I needed to be.

Later on I found out that the employees were: Hana, Sherry, and DJ Speck Slim.

I've been a frequent and consistent customer since 2023. Thank you, Rock It Grill.“
