Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Old Town Alexandria

First time there and our group thought the food was excellent! We all got very different items on the menu (5 of us) and all of them were high quality and tasty! Service was very good. Enjoyed it so much we would be very happy to come back!!

I loved the open kitchen concept. Cooking of a wood burning oven was a must to see. We stared with the oysters. They were fresh and delicious. I had the steak and it was fantastic and perfectly cooked. I highly recommend it. If you want to start off with a cocktail, you can do so in the adjoining hotel level.

It was as usual, delicious ! Wonderful holiday celebration with old ( literally and figuratively ) old friends . Such attentive service , where waiter ( John) notice that last couple of our party was coming and he opened side door so they wouldn’t have to walk so far ! That was so kind and attentive . Also somehow he knew who was with whom and did separate checks without any of us having to ask !! Made a typically awkward situation disappear ….. and being the only single one , sincerely helped ! Thank you. … we all appreciated it ! Ada’s is wonderful , John was great … but still miss Chris and Rock :)

The crab cakes were excellent and so was the brisket sandwich! Definitely a place to go to.

Had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious and the service was great. We sat at the counter and were able to watch the chef make everything. Since we went on a Monday, wine was market price, so we enjoyed the salmon special and pork chop with a bottle of wine. Too bad they're closing the restaurant portion, because we would definitely go back. Looking forward to taking some cooking classes there though!
