We made an impromptu reservation for lunch on Memorial Day and the gracious hostess took us to a wonderful outdoor table decorated with confetti (total surprise) for my birthday (which is tomorrow). Nia, our server, took extra good care of us. The veal limone and linguini pescatore were outstanding, as usual! Noe always seems to amaze us with his restaurant concepts. Thank you all for the memories!!

Our experience at the Study was amazing! The restaurant is a hidden gem at the Morrison House in Old Town Alexandria. The bartender/drinks, food, and ambiance all made for an exceptional experience. Our server, Rodney, also did a fabulous job in making sure we were well accounted for and gave us great recommendations for food. Our group was very impressed with everything and will be back!
