   Seated inside. Noisy! Music is too loud, unable to hold a conversation.Omelet was great, fried chicken was over cooked. A bit overpriced.

   -Parking, challenging but manageable. -Sunday brunch, good offerings. -Live music, enjoyed the song selections... altho music was very loud and made it difficult to have/hear conversations. -Server, meh and indifferent.

   We had reservations and were seated immediately. Celebrating my sons Godmothers retirement. As always the food was delicious, the musicians were great and our server was very attentive. They have parking right underneath but, I have a large truck so I had to go and park a few blocks away other than that we had a great experience at Black Wall Hitch Alexandria. One more thing if you pay with cash no problem but, non-cash payments it is an additional fee added.

   Rainy day vibes, waterfront views, and an unexpected bathroom concert? Yes, please. I came to Blackwall Hitch to catch up with friends and escape the gloomy weather—and it did not disappoint. The vibe was exactly what I needed: cozy, chill, and moody in the best way, with views of the Potomac that just hit different when it’s raining. Shoutout to Brian, who made sure we were fully taken care of. He catered to our every need, filled my coffee mug without asking, and made the whole experience effortless. I ordered the Halibut special, and listen… I could’ve eaten two. It was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Highly recommend it if it’s still on the menu. Now, for the moment, I didn’t expect to write about the bathroom. While washing my hands, I started singing along to a song playing overhead. Didn’t realize someone else was in the second stall… until she came out singing the next line. We had a full duet right there. Harmonies, finish, the whole thing. Then we walked out like nothing had happened. Blackwall Hitch gets 5 stars for food, service, and surprise concerts. Would absolutely come back.

   We celebrated our 37th Anniversary here, our 1st time here. We had a beautiful view of the Water, sat outside at a very nice table with umbrella. Our waiter was very attentive , food was delicious and fairly priced. The manager introduced himself and made sure we were pleased. All in all it was a very nice day!!!! Highly recommend!!!

   Not my kind of place. I went to Blackwell Hitch in Annapolis and it was far better than the Alexandria one. I was disappointed. The noise was too loud as was the music. Don’t think I’ll return, not worth the money.
