    Most dishes were very good, the burritos were excellent but mine was average (avocado toast; a thin layer of mashed avocado). Very very noisy and hard to have a conversation. Table attendance was poor even though there seem to be quite a number of servers, we had to ask for water and coffee refills and for utensils.
    Evening Star CafeSe respondió el 21 de julio de 2025
    Thank you for your feedback—we’re glad to hear you enjoyed most of the dishes, especially the burritos! We’re sorry to hear that the avocado toast didn’t meet expectations and that the noise level and service impacted your experience. Your comments are appreciated and will be shared with our team as we work to improve. We hope to have the chance to serve you again soon. Warm regards, Nicholas Meyer Evening Star Café

    We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. - From eggs Benedict to the burrito to my mushroom omelette. All were delicious. They each had a different side item as well. The eclectic art was a nice touch. Vintage erector sets were repurposed into really cool artwork.  Additionally, there were other nice spaces that could be reserved separately if you have an event… Upstairs, a bar area and pool table. Outback, there was a covered space with a bar as well, but you would want to wait for cooler weather.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Evening Star. We sat outside, at their sidewalk seating. The restaurant can get noisy and if I had a recommendation, it would be to install some sound reduction devices in the ceiling or elsewhere. Food was delicious and very reasonably priced. Service was friendly, although the food preparation took longer than usual. We look forward to returning. Definitely a solid choice in Del Ray.

    Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful feedback! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your dinner with us and that the sidewalk seating added to your experience. It's great to know the food and service hit the mark, even if the kitchen was a bit slower than usual—we appreciate your patience. Your suggestion about sound reduction is a great one, and we’ll definitely take it into consideration as we continue to improve the space for our guests. We’re so glad to be a part of your Del Ray dining experience and look forward to welcoming you back soon! Warmly, Nicholas Meyer Evening Star Café

    It had been quite a long time since my husband and I ate at Evening Star. Not sure when the downward slide occurred but it was really disappointing. The cocktails were meh -hubby is quite an aficionado of the Manhattan and it rated poorly in his book (and mine as I tasted it as well) and it lacked the classic Luxardo cherry or even an orange peel - nada. I tried the Bright Eyes which did not hold any interest for me. For dinner my brook trout was ok and the green beans were good. My husband had the Cavatelli which was supposed to have duck confit but it was overpowered by a cream sauce and was very mushy to the taste and texture. His glass of wine was somewhere between a 2 and 3 ounce pour instead of the standard 4 oz. I asked for a decaf coffee and the waitress said the machine was "off". Broken? She tried but was kinda flaky - perhaps just learning the ropes so will not criticize her. We don't expect to be returning anytime soon.

    We're truly sorry to hear that your visit to Evening Star didn’t meet your expectations. We appreciate your honest feedback about the cocktails, food, and service. It’s clear we missed the mark on several fronts—from the Manhattan presentation to the quality of the Cavatelli. These details matter, and we’re disappointed to hear we let you down. Your comments have been shared with our team so we can address these issues directly and work toward improving. We’re also grateful for your understanding regarding your server—training new team members is important to us, and your patience is appreciated. While we regret that you don’t plan to return soon, we hope you might consider giving us another chance in the future. Warm regards, Nicholas Meyer Evening Star Café

    We live 2 hours away but have family in Alexandria and this was our 4th visit to Evening Star Cafe in the past 10 years. All 3 past experiences were amazing so we went back this past weekend and something has definitely changed…I’m not sure who is running the kitchen now but the food was lackluster and downright bad. We were there for Saturday Brunch with a reservation. The service was good and the ambiance is still amazing it was just not a good meal and we doubt we will be back anytime soon. Of the 4 dishes at our table we all commented that we should have gotten the shrimp & grits, it was actually very good, but the other 3 dishes were so bad they overshadowed the one good dish. The pancakes were gummy and there was just 3 big pancakes on the plate, no fruit, which was disappointing. The huevos rancheros was the worst I've ever had. It was just a handful of tortilla chips with 1 poorly cooked egg smothered in flavorless black beans and slasa. Literally soggy & tasteless! My husband got one of his favorite dishes, chicken & waffles, and said it was the worst version of that dish he had ever had too! The waffle was fine & he appreciated the side of hot honey but the chicken was an abomination. Severely overcooked it looked shrunken and dry, he said it was terrible. I wish I had sent everything back but we were all hungry and so we didn’t say anything. Even the Bloody Mary had gone downhill from a large flavorful bloody of past years garnished with candied bacon & a tiny grilled cheese sandwich to the small watery cocktail I was served on Saturday garnished only with a lone olive and lime wedge…If you are the owner of Evening Star Cafe I hope you can get your kitchen back under control because we had been so impressed in the past but so terribly disappointed this last visit and I’m sure we aren’t the only ones. This restaurant has been around for a long time and I would hate to see it fail now.

    Hello Anne, I am disappointed to hear about the experience you had at The Evening Star this past weekend. Everything explained here is not the standard we uphold and try to live up to. I understand you live two hours from the restaurant but we would like to turn your opinion around. We have a great kitchen staff lead by a great chef that would love to redeem themselves for this visit. We do not have any excuses but would love to make it up somehow. -Nicholas Meyer General Manager The Evening Star Cafe

    Everything was Ok- which is fine but not as great as I remember it when I came here last year. I seem to recall this was a tough-to-get reservation in the past because the food was so good and it was a hip and trendy place. Not so much now. The place was practically empty and the food was so-so.

    Hello Anne, We would like to apologize for not living up to the expectations we created on your prior visits. We here at Evening Star expect a standard that falls higher than Ok. We truly hope to see you again soon so we can show you were are much better than 3 stars! Please come in and see us again soon. Thank you for supporting us. -Nicholas Meyer GM ESC

    The Evening Star is a jewel of a neighborhood restaurant, with delicious offerings. You can choose to sit inside where it is lively and festive, sit outside on the Front Porch, which allows you to take in the vibe and thrum of Del Ray, or in the back where you can dine outside as if you were grilling at home. The menu changes seasonally and the bar is skillful and inventive with their offerings. Our server was excellent. He was knowledgeable, attentive without hovering and well-versed in the menu and wine and beer selections. We couldn't have asked for a more lovely evening out.
