Best Contemporary French American Restaurants in Old Town Alexandria

Caught the last night of their Mother's Day 3 course prix-fixe special (regrettable Mom is no longer available). Good selection, value. Duck and salmon specials were excellent. Went home with leftovers (but not the crepe cake - that we finished there). 10% break on wine was appreciated.

I was very please to find a wonderful option for Mother’s Day. While the food was really amazing, what I think is best about Bresca is the staff. Every member of the staff was incredibly kind and accommodating. It made for a fantastic meal. Our main server (I feel awful, I can’t remember his name) was an expert at explaining all the dishes and offering us his thoughts and suggestions. I would gladly come to this establishment at dinner time hours. That seems to be when they usually do business. Something felt a little off about the pacing (dishes coming somewhat on top of each other.) I wouldn’t put this against them and I still think what is truly exceptional is a charming and delightful staff who should be proud of the atmosphere they create.

The brunch was excellent. A great Mother’s Day experience!

Great food, service and excellent martinis. Parking is a bit of a challenge.

The was expertly prepared; my salmon had just the right amount of crisp outside and tender inside. My salad had a well balanced vegetable base with seeds. Loved it!
