★★★★★ 5.0 Alyssia King · Jan 2026

I had heard exceptional reviews regarding this establishment, which prompted my visit. The experience was truly remarkable. We were seated in the bar area, which I would recommend undergoing a thorough deep cleaning to address a lingering odor. However, our server, Eric, provided outstanding service. He was highly attentive, personable, and demonstrated an overall exceptional demeanor. The cuisine was delectable. I regret not capturing a photograph of my shrimp and scallop risotto, which I ordered for takeout, but I assure you it was extraordinarily satisfying. I anticipate returning in the near future.

Adrean, our server, was good, but the food was just ok. If the menu didn’t say it, I wouldn’t believe that the tacos had chorizo in them, so that was disappointing. The home fries were also a mixed bag, they weren’t crispy which is fine, but some were overcooked. I do appreciate that they were sautéed with pepper and onions, that helped. My friend had the chicken and waffles and thought the waffle was just ok, also. And listen, we weren’t expecting much, but when we asked which of the breakfast “sweet” breads was the best and the waffle, we obliged. But now, I hope the pancakes and french toast are better. All and all, the food was edible and we were not hungry after, so that counts for something 😂

An excellent pub/restaurant in Alexandria. Great food, great atmosphere. I had the scallop and shrimp risotto- fabulous. Great draft beers, including Guinness. Indoor and outdoor seating. Quiet rear whisky bar. Just a super place.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Benjamin Cruz · Sep 2025

Came here with an empty stomach and high hopes after a walking tour of Old Town. The ambiance is cool and friendly staff, but my food was horrible. I ordered the special of the day as advertised on the sign outside, which was the Margherita pizza. Oh man what a big choice. Imagine the lunch room pizza you got as a kid in elementary school. That is exactly what they served me. Floppy crust with way too much bad cheese and charged me $16.00. My wife got the crab cake sandwich, which was pretty good. I’m sure a great place for drinks and some limited bar menu items. Just don’t get the Margherita pizza…I implore you!
