- JJanetWashington, D.C. Area •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoJosephine's is becoming one of our favorite spots in Old Town Alexandria. Great service. We usually sit at the bar and the bartenders are the best. The restaurant itself is gorgeous with plenty of quiet spots for conversation. Food is great. The menu is small, which means the food will be better quality. We went for Thanksgiving and could get the traditional meal or go with our favorites.More infoJosephine - Old TownPrice: Expensive• French• Alexandria•4.7
- LLaurenSan Diego •2 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoOur table enjoyed happy hour drinks and apps. We also ordered the scampi and shrimp pasta as well as their signature shrimp pasta dish. We were impressed by it all. The portions are generous for the price. Highly recommend the baklava! Only thing to note is more of a mobility/family point of interest. The bathrooms are located upstairs and it was lacking a baby changing area. My only critique would be to add something in the bathroom to accommodate families. Otherwise a great night and everyone spoke about how delicious the food was and how we would definitely make a point to come again soon! It brought us right back to Europe.More infoVaso's Mediterranean BistroPrice: Moderate• Mediterranean• Alexandria•4.5
- SStaceyWashington, D.C. Area •5 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoBrunch at Murphys is always delicious! Service is always wonderful. And the price is right probably the cheapest brunch on King Street. One person had the seafood omelette, which was delicious! Another had the Irish country breakfast, which was absolutely delicious. Eggs were cooked to perfection. And our third person had waffles and bacon, and they were terrific too.More infoMurphy's Grand Irish PubPrice: Moderate• European• Old Town Alexandria•4.7
- RRhonWashington, D.C. Area •5 reviews5.0Dined on Nov 20, 2024First time visiting the study, and we will definitely be back! Our server Rodney made sure that we were comfortable with the menu and offered suggestions which we took every one of. Manny, the bartender also offered a warm welcome. His cocktail list was seasonal, fun, and well crafted. AJ the dessert cook brought us his pana cotta as a surprise. Chef sent out a fun amuse bouche. Great atmosphere, service, and food 10/10!More infoThe StudyPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Alexandria•4.9
- KKatieUtah •3 reviews5.0Dined on Jul 6, 2024We had a Great dinner there for my birthday. We had the Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Curry, Indian Salad, Bhaingan Bharta, Aloo Gobi, Garlic Naan. It was WAY too much food for 2 of us but I wanted to try a bunch of my favorites. Everything came out hot (except the salad of course!) and tasted wonderful. We got “medium” spicy level and I felt we could have easily gone to “hot”. The staff was wonderful and also gave me a sweet birthday treat at the end. If we end up back in Alexandria we’d definitely go back.More infoNamaste' JalsaPrice: Moderate• Indian• Alexandria•4.3
