    Special salad was great. Remainder of food was mid. Dishes were not clean including a lip stick mark on a coffee mug. Server was attentive and kind but overall, probably wouldn’t go back.

    We started out inside, which was very loud, but we were thankfully moved outside when a table became available. It was a lovely evening, although the outside is directly on King Street, with a lot of traffic. Our server was very pleasant and helpful. While the menu looks wonderful, the food was poorly prepared. I ordered the artichoke appetizer, which was tasty, although swimming in olive oil. For the main course, I ordered the trout stuffed with spinach and feta, but received the trout stuffed with crab. In addition, unfortunately, the trout was so overcooked, it was just mush. It was supposed to have sliced almonds on top, which it did, but there were about six of them. My dinner partner had shrimp scampi, which was reportedly ok. I had really looked forward to dining here, but will not be returning.

    This was an outstanding experience in fine dining for me and a friend. The food was really amazing and the service was top notch. Our server was excellent, amazing, and did such a fantastic job in how he managed our many requests and changes. I can only highly recommend Vaso's and I will definitely return!

    Very welcoming and attentive service - not formal service, but warm and focused. The menu and specials as well as cocktails were all very enjoyable. Desserta also satisfied from the tiramisu to the baklava like dishes. Really good group experience.

    A charming Greek bistro on King Street, Old Town Alexandria, removed from the hustle and bustle of the more touristy waterfront area. Good, Greek comfort food, with the addition of a few Italian dishes.

    Vaso’s is one of my favorites and went with a large group who all raved about the food! I recommend the Vaso’s shrimp or the branzino.

    the food was very ordinary. the shrimp pasta was swimming in grease. The Masuoka was hard around the edges, like it had been reheated. The reviews were more positive than our experience.
