Best Cocktail Bars in Old Town Alexandria

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the brunch. There is not one negative thing to say about this place. Every single food item was delicious and the mimosas were good too. Our server Khai Q. was outstanding, very personable and he encouraged us to come again, which we will. We planned to go to NYC next month for my daughter’s 30th bday and she asked that we come back to DC so we come here for a bday brunch. Try this place and you will not be disappointed.

Fabulous restaurant with great drinks and kind / attentive staff. Escargot, steak frites, and espresso martini are probably the top appetizer / entree / missed drink in our opinion (as semi-regular customers) but everything is reliably good!

First 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!

It was a nice little Italian place. I got the lasagna which was really good. It came with a white sauce which was different from the red sauce I’m used too but very good. One of my guest eats gluten free and they had gluten free pasta. She ended up getting risotto which she really liked. Our waitress was new and didn’t know the menu well but was very friendly. Any question she couldn’t answer she went to others to get the answer. I would definitely eat here again.

The ambience and view are great. Service was good. However, two frustrations. There were no age restrictions mentioned online or in person, and yet my friends with a three year old daughter were not allowed to stay. And there was a mixup with the credit cards where the wrong card was charged.
