“Ada’s on the river is a fantastic spot for an elevated meal. They food was delish and the atmosphere is very nice. The drinks are great as well. The views are great! It’s a fun spot to meet up with family, friends or to have a date night.Parking: There are 2 different paid parking areas near the restaurant and you can also try your hand at street parking.“
“Ambiance is an interesting hole in the wall. We begin with the fluffy warm bread. Soft and fresh and distracting from eating. Then the octopus salad. The octopus is just right; a good sear with a bit of smoky taste, cooked through and just right. Mussels: served with a few pieces of chorizo. Not too many to blot out the flavor of the mussels, mind you. The mussels were a bit dry, this one wasn't swimming in liquid like other places so it. Always fall for the liquid, ordering extra bread to dip into it like a weirdo. Grand marnier soufflés were good. Ask about the dog biscuits!“
“My girIfriend and I took our 2 year old out for dinner. The food was excellent!!! I recommended the crab and shrimp spinach dip for the appetizer. Island Pasta & stuffed salmon for the entrees!! Tony was our waiter and he had excellent customer service!!! Even though the establishment is rather small, you can also eat outside. I was highly satisfied and not disappointed with the service not one bit.P.s. the drinks guava sunrise and 2 triple B’s were mixed to perfection. Be prepared though to spend $30 a piece! I have no pictures cause I was hungry as hell that day… Lol“
“RT's is a neighborhood treasure. I have been going off and on for years but have been twice in 2 weeks because the flavors are amazing. The crab and crawfish imperial is to die for. I wanted to try something different last night but could not imagine watching someone else enjoy my favorite dish. The she crab soup could use a bit of lump crab for texture but was good. Everything coming from the kitchen looked amazing. Can't wait to go back again.“
“I enjoy eating at Bonefish. I usually go about 1-2 times a week with a friend. We always ask for Chaz for our server. He pays attention to detail and remembers what we like without asking. The new manager, Mollie, seems very nice and aims to please all customers.“
“I've only dined here once and really enjoyed the food and service. When I saw their post for First Fridays, I knew this would be perfect time and place for a siblings outing. We ended up sitting in the bar area and just partaking in HH food and drinks versus all the First Fridays specials. Our server/bartender Brian was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. All of the staff were actually very warm and welcoming. My brother was impressed with the wide variety of spirits and commended the ownerJay, on the selections, when he stopped by to greet our table. The chef also came by to greet us and ensure we were enjoying our food.We started off with a round of hibiscus mules, old fashion and cosmopolitan, all part of the signature HH drinks. We dined on wings, truffle fries, fried green tomatoes, shrimp toast, lamb chops and steak rolls. Everything was cooked perfectly and delicious, with no complaints from even the pickiest of picky eaters. They are rolling out a new drink that's a spin on a pina colada, so of course my brother wanted to try it. He wasn't a fan, maybe it's the white chocolate shavings on top, not sure, but Brian politely removed it. We ended the night with a round of Makers Mark shots vowing to return another night for dinner.“
“This place was fantastic. My dad recommended it to me and he was right on. The crab cakes were fantastic!. The bar was great and the atmosphere in the entire restaurant was perfect. The waitstaff was friendly and right on top of things. I would definitely come back.“
“Yesterday evening my friends and I visited Vola's Dockside Grill. We sat at smaller bar facing Union Street. Our bartender, Orlando, was among the best I ever experienced. He was attentive, made excellent food and drink recommendations, and made sure we were take care of every step of the way. The food was delicious. We had crab hush puppies, calamari, wings, fries, and a burger. Everything arrived soon after ordering and was cooked to perfection. In particular I enjoyed the wings because they were grilled and had the flavor that only fire can bring. I highly recommend Vola's for the service, food, and the views of King street and the Potomac river.“
“Highly recommend for wedding receptions or other events. Cheryl and her team are extremely professional and are about as "experts" as you can get hosting large scale events. We were beyond thrilled with how our wedding reception went, and it was all due to the amazing team at USPH! Great location for a reasonable price as well. 10/10“
“This place was absolutely amazing! I have family from NOLA and have had a hard time finding a place that knows how to make a proper roux for an etouffe, but this place nailed it! I had the Oysters Bayou, and my boyfriend had the Steak Pontchartrain. Both were cooked to perfection. We had made a reservation and even though we were a tad late they promptly sat us, and the staff was amazing & friendly. Definitely come hungry because the portion sizes are huge!“
“Alex (Bartender) and Chico (Boss applesauce) were absolutely amazing. Superior knowledge of the menu, and very conscious with allergies. Absolutely amazing experience from front to back. If you’re shopping at Wegmans and tired of how hard your week was, you better come here or you’re “
“The Tandoori Chicken at Mumbai Darbar is a true culinary gem! The chicken is juicy and flavorful, with just the right amount of char from the tandoor. It's served with fresh mint chutney and onions, adding a refreshing contrast to the bold flavors. Definitely one of the best I've ever tasted!“
“The menu at The zemeda offers a delightful fusion of flavors. Each dish is beautifully presented, showcasing fresh ingredients and attention to detail. Whether you're a meat lover, vegetarian Ethiopian food there's something for everyone.“
“Came for a very simple lunch, the bar lady/ waitress was very friendly and accommodating. It was my first time trying Clam Chowder and I must say you’ve set the bar very high! The Bloody Mary was also delicious and the general atmosphere was very relaxed but efficient. Will definitely visit again if I come to Alexandria!“
“My husband brought me here for happy hour oysters! He did not disappoint and neither did Clyde's. We loved it so much that we came to happy hour the following week! Must try oysters: Jacks point - briny Pemaquid - briny but sweet at same time Standish shore - briny Thatch island - briny bitter First week we went we mistakenly did not sit at the bar so we weren't able to get the wine happy hour or other specials. This was annoying because the hostess did ask if we were coming for happy hour and we disclosed that we were planning to do happy hour. There are signs everywhere advertising for happy hour and of course in super small print, it states must be seated at the bar to avail those prices. Such a shame because we would have ordered more. We each got 2 glasses of wine each- myself white (Sauvignon blanc) and my husband red (Cabernet Sauvignon), bread basket, bowl of New England clam chowder, and 2 rounds of dozen oysters. When we got the bill, we realized our mistake.. The following week, we sat at the bar and the bartender was lovely! She put our orders in as soon as we sat down and informed that not all wines are on the happy hour menu but specific white: gruner veltliner and red: Malbec and our friend ordered beer. We also ordered buffalo wings with blue cheese and ranch, side of fries, and calamari. We finished everything- tasted so good! Their sauces are on point. We will definitely be returning to this spot!“
“The hostess was rude didn't have any manners. (Didn't say you're welcome and I thanked her for taking us to our seat and when she brought us water.) other than that my server and food was pretty good. I got the Connecticut lobster roll and steamed shrimp.“
“Excellent customer service and great tasting food. We come here on a regular basis and have tried many different things and they have all been great. My favorite is the eggplant parmesan- so crispy and flavorful. Many other great vegetarian options as well. My partner loves their carbonara and says it is the best. They also always have specials for food, drink, and dessert that have all been amazing. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough!Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options“
“Today was my first time going to this crafty crab restaurant.and I don’t have one complaint the food was delicious and hot.the atmosphere was amazing,the employees were very polite,friendly,fast,it was clean, I was very happy and impressed now one thing drink wasn’t strong enough but it was good I will definitely be coming back the buffalo wings and onion rings was the best ones I ever tasteKid-friendliness: They were very nice and had coloring sheets and supplies to keep my 6 year old daughter happy I like how they asked her it’s she goodWheelchair accessibility: I lost my right leg exactly a year ago today so I have a prosthetic leg and I use my wheelchair also they the restaurant made it very suitable and easy to get around“
“Yo! this place needs to be everywhere! Seafood was banging. Spent more than desired but well worth it. The scallops on point shrimp home run! You can sit down and enjoy,I couldn't wait. Saw this spot on Google Maps saw the images I finally dashed. If you want good seafood they kill the game!“
“It's one of the better places for carry out Chinese food. I recommend it for the neighborhood we lived in, which is the Lincolnia part of Alexandria Their egg drop soup is the best I've ever tasted having visited most of not all Chinese restaurants in Alexandria. Their egg serving is much more their others!“
“Ok firstly our pickup order did take an hour to be prepared but it was so good. The crab Rangoons were filled and crunchy! The Singapore noodles and general tso had great flavor. I was so impressed. You can tell it's a hard working family that runs this place“
“Love this area and decided to try this place out while visiting. Calamari was delicious. I had the drunken fish tacos and they weren’t great but my husband had the seafood back and he loved every bite. Said it had amazing flavor. The atmosphere on King street is always fun. We ate outside so we could people watch.“
“Omg this was my first time trying out Ethiopian food. And I’m in love. I love the spiciness. First time I got here I wasn’t too hungry so I ordered tuna salad! It was so spicy and good which I love ! And we also order chicken,beef lamb awaza dibs dish they all so good. One thing is they don’t offer free tap water here. ( I don’t like that )“
“If you’re looking for an authentic Ethiopian taste, this is the right place to go to.Dietary restrictions: Very Good Vegan and Vegetarian options availableKid-friendliness: The have Kids menu if you’re children are looking to eat a different food“
“we wanted to skip the crowds on lunar new years, and sampan cafe alexandria came highly recommended by my younger sibling. very uncomplicated good food, especially during a time where dim sum spots in va are declining or experiencing price inflation. this was probably the most affordable, and the quality was excellent -- almost everything was cooked perfectly. leftovers tasted super good in the air fryer too.“
“This is a hidden gem and has the best fare! I was not expecting to find such an elegant restaurant in a strip mall and certainly had no idea how good the food would be. I had the miso ramen and shrimp tempura, which was plated beautifully and the taste was perfection. I will drive out of my way to dine there again! The hot sake is supreme, very smooth and $9.50 for a large.“
“Last Sunday, Rolando and Rosario our dear friends introduced us to this charming restaurant for dining and entertainment. The 6 men band were playing in the party room the most fantastic Latinos and other music on stage, it was a full concert. The owner was very sweet to greet us and the waitress were so attentive, our food were so tasty. This made our Sunday special, we were so delighted that we found this secret oasis so close to our home. We are looking forward to go back every Sunday bringing more friends with us.“
“The food was excellent and so was the experience!! My husband and I came for lunch and asked for bread we were told it only served for dinner but to my surprise they decided to bake us fresh bread!! I was so excited because I really love their bread. Also Stephanie the manager came to our table to check up on us which was really really nice of her and our waitress was phenomenal. Love everything about this place!“
“We decided to give Good Luck another try - I was a little nervous, as our previous experience was years ago, and it wasn't that memorable. We were craving for some Americanized Chinese fare, and we had read that this place serves up some good chow fun - so, we placed an order in-person and ordered the following: +Crab Rangoon - these were more flat and didn't have much filling, but it was still a good app to start off with; the sweet & sour dipping sauce wasn't overly sweet, either, which was great +Beef Chow Fun - this was pretty tasty; the noodles were slightly overcooked, but the flavors were spot on, and it was of a generous portion; definitely not as salty, which we appreciated, but you can doctor it up with some soy sauce and chili oil +General Tso's Shrimp - the shrimp was large, and you can request this to be extra spicy; however, there was no kick +Szechuan Crispy Beef - these were on the overly sweet side, as the sauce is definitely that; however, the beef itself was crispy, and you can request this to be extra spicy which may give a very slight kick to it The rice that comes with the entrees were forgettable; they were kind of clumpy and mushy, and seemed kind of discolored. Note that this place is strictly a carry-out, so you'll have to call ahead and place orders or place orders in person; the place is definitely popular, as the phone continued to ring, and there were patrons coming in often for a pickup. Staff are pretty friendly and efficient. There are a couple of chairs inside you'd like to wait for your order. Parking available in the front. +beef chow fun +friendly & efficient staff +parking available“
“Our waitress Alexandria made our night, she was so attentive and caring (we celebrated two birthdays and she took nice pictures of us and gave us candles with our desserts). The food was on point as well, we ordered scallops on risotto and 16oz prime rib, cooked to perfection. :)“
