Best Historic Restaurants in Old Town Alexandria

Excellent! Hossein and team are always so welcoming! Thank you.

My husband and I first ate here a couple of years ago while visiting DC. The dish we had (pistachio encrusted salmon) was so out of this world that we went back the next night to do it all over again and eat the same dish. This time, more than 5 years later, that dish was unfortunately not on the menu but they had horseradish encrusted salmon instead. It was not nearly as good, but it was nevertheless delicious, as were the accompanying mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach. The chef cooked the salmon exactly the way I like it, which is different than most - I like it pretty well done. The spinach was perfectly sautéed and was an excellent temperature, unlike when I make it and it is always cold by the time I eat it. The service was very good and the drinks were excellent. Our only big complaint was they didn’t have mint to make mojitos. The perfect summer drink. Who doesn’t have mint in July?

Had a wonderful brunch! Excellent service and elevated classics prepared with attention to detail. Delicious food, wonderful service, and beautiful atmosphere. Highly recommended!

We dined on July 4th, luncheon. We always love Gadsby’s, so much history! Service was attentive and very pleasant, immediately seating, immediate water, and menus. Excellent specials. Lots of traditional dishes. We chose wedge salad, which was very fresh and had a horseradish dressing - delicious and unusual. One person had the chicken Caesar wrap, one had the fried oyster po’ boy, both delicious, very fresh. We will return! And send other friends. Thank you.

Perfect place for a great date night. Service and food were great!
