    The food is fabulous, both filets were the best we have had probably ever, the spinach was super tasty and the citrus salad was fantastic. The server and front staff were friendly, albeit a bit slow on filling water and bringing drinks (the bar was full so that is a factor). The entrance states “bar entrance” which causes you to go down an alley past stinky trash cans, a sign states “entrance” with an arrow leading you farther to a locked/blocked door. You then go back to the bar door and walk through a crowded bar to get to the restaurant entrance. Not at all ideal or remotely sensical. Not to mention the bar patrons staring at you like you are intruding on their bar space! The music is too loud, and not appropriate for an expensive steak house, I expect classical or jazz, or quiet. Patrons were so loud I couldn’t hear my wife or the server. Fabulous food aside, I don’t think the atmosphere is worthy of the price, it did not give me the vibe of an expensive or romantic steakhouse. I was so happy to read there was a dress code (my wife and I always dress for dinner, especially at $200) and we were again reminded by email that there was a dress code. Sadly, the dining room was full of very casual dress and sneakers. Either enforce it or don’t advertise that you do! It was very warm, to give credit we are in an extreme heatwave so maybe the a/c couldn’t keep up, but it was far too warm to enjoy an expensive meal.

    The restaurant is ok, there was a moldy smell that made me hesitant to eat the food. the staff need some customer service training as they rushed us and even grabbed one of my friends food at the end of the service to get us to leave. The waiter took forever to serve us and messed up our order numerous times. I was disappointed as I received good feedback about the restaurant

    Upon arrival, we were treated warmly. We were celebrating my husbands’ birthday and he received a lovely birthday card. Our service Francisco was top notch, kind, knowledgeable and very pleasant. Our dinners were absolutely delicious, the Branzino and prime ribeye were perfectly cooked. My husband was brought a slice of chocolate peanut butter pie, which was unexpected and also delicious. Highly recommend!

    Saw a huge water bug crawling on the wall while getting my food! The manager tried to catch the water bug with a glass. I was very uncomfortable after that and left the food.

    Excellent meal and superb service. Our server Jule was extremely helpful in assisting us with the menu options and the history of the 1799 restaurant. Its a must visit dining experience in the DC area. The owner Jay took the time to visit with the quest and we felt like family. We definitely plan a return visit, the food was delicious and prepared with attention to detail. We celebrated our anniversary and the 1799 staff provided a memorable experience. Bravo!!!

    My husband and I dined at 1799 Prime in Old Town Alexandria for our anniversary dinner, and it did not disappoint! The hostess greeted us warmly, our server, Sharonda, was well versed on the menu from front to back. We ordered several of her menu suggestions. Chuck, the bartender, crafted our cocktails to perfection! The service is attentive and professional and an overall great experience. Highly recommend making a reservation!

    The main entrance appeared to be under repair; the temporary walkway through the bar is not welcoming. Despite a skylight (panes dirty), the restaurant appears dark. Worse, there was a dank smell throughout the dining area, particularly when passing the open kitchen area and first floor bathroom (untidy). Although plentiful, the food was average only - no distinct flavors or presentation. Having a wonderful history, as this restaurant does, is no substitute for good food. The meal was very disappointed. Our server was informative and accommodating.
