Booked 8 times todayFun, cozy speakeasy with delicious and unique cocktails. We enjoyed going on Sunday for their special sunday drinks that you can't find any other day! We didn't try the food but the menu looks delicious. A little pricey but worth the experience! More

What a gem! Absolutely loved our dinner - a birthday celebration and a delight for all! We enjoyed many appetizers and then had two main courses for three. One, a lamb curry, the kitchen made in an "off menu" variety. Wonderful! And lovely ice cream for dessert with a special birthday treat the kitchen made as a bonus. Service was attentive but not hovering, pleasant and helpful, décor is fun, food wonderful, and the value exceptional. We ate on a weeknight so the restaurant was not very crowded. Really a find, we'll be back! More

Our evening at Vermilion was absolutely delightful. The wait staff was not only pleasantly attentive but also very knowledgeable with respect to the ingredients and preparation of the food. The food was superb. I had the cold pea soup and would say that it is something that must be tried by everyone, even those who have a pea aversion. My tagilatelle bolognese was magnificent. I had thought of ordering only the small portion, but was very glad that I opted for the full serving. It was if I were in Italy! Vermilion is a place you must not miss. More

First time dining at Hanks Oyster Bar in Alexandria. I've previously dined at the Wharf location, so had an idea ofwhat to expect. The raw oysters and oyster poorboy was outstanding! My wife chose some non-seafood items from the menu and her food was great also! Our waiter was excellent. Highly recommend! More

Great place, it was our first time. We got there early and Jerry was able to accommodate us. Staff and servers are polite and very attentive to customers. The food was delicious and well worth the money. Jerry noticed we had been waiting for our appetizers to come and brought a complimentary dish to try (spinach wafers?) which was great. Since we were celebrating an anniversary event they also brought complimentary Kulfi in the end which was delicious. Will definitely return for their service and good food. More

The Crab and shrimp beignets were amazing. I like that the waiters are very attentive to when your glasses need filling or when Something needs to be clear from your table. I like that the wait staff does not constantly run over asking how is everything are you doing OK? More

OpenTable Diner -
We know why he has won so many awards. Alot of people don't realize how hard it is to daily smoke meat, guess how much to smoke, and have it taste like it was cooked at home. The brisket was so tender and tasty at 5 in the afternoon. The pork belly was like candy. The ribs were a tad overcooked and a little dry, but a little sauce took care of that. The collard greens and the baked beans were excellent. More
OpenTable Diner -
Neighborhood look and feel are simply enhanced by the food and service. I was entertaining nine business clients from out of town, and three from my company including me, and had all eleven raving about the place that night and with emails the following day. That says it all! More

Went for lunch and was seated at a 4-top even though I was a deuce. When my colleague called to cancel, I asked to be moved. It was a little chilly outside and I knew the dining room would be crowded. I took a high top at the bar. The service was terrific. My French Dip sandwich was great. My wine was comforting. Who could ask for anything more? More

On a cold, blustery spring week night we decided to stay close and ate here. What a pleasant surprise! Everyone from hostess to bartender to waiter was friendly and efficient. Our cocktails and food were delicious! Would definitely go back and recommend as it was also a very good value. Noise level was just moderate on a week night but could get loud on a weekend. More

A hidden gem just off King Street. The calamari was good (not great) but the skillet shrimp was fantastic. The steak frites was good. The brussel sprouts were AMAZING. The service was fast and our waitress checked on us often. We’ll return again. More

OpenTable Diner -
The food is very good with surprising pricing when compared to other eateries nearby. wine and drink prices are very reasonable for the area. We were here with a very large group which can slow the service a bit, but the staff was cheerful and friendly. We ate here five times and sampled everything from their amazing hamburgers to flavorful mussels and delicious salads. a step up from the ordinary hotel restaurant. More

TJ Stone was a good experience. A good bar scene, kind of loud but not distracting, and the food was good. It isn't a `fine dining restaurant' but it's good quality and the staff makes up for it with good service. My wife & I will be trying TJ Stone again soon. Thanks much! More

On our annual Cherry Blossom Festival trip to Washington, my wife and I slipped through a portal at 305 Washington Street in Alexandria, VA. A humble setting, nothing to jump up and down about, but a hidden gem. Climbing a steep staircase, a turn to the right and a room as close to Italy as one could get. The pleasant, young lady ushered us to two tables and we were invited to pick a table between one in the center of room and another immediately in front of a baby grand piano. We picked the one close to the piano. After our wine warm-up, we ordered the Caesar salad. Ohhh... simply heaven! Balance, romaine lettuce blended with anchovies and crotons forced a discipline to put the darned fork down before you had no room to eat the main reason for coming there in the first place. With the beautiful music flowing from a wonderful pianist, our order of ossobuco arrived. It was incredible! The silky brown gravy infused with wine flavors, lathering carrots, onion, mushrooms and the like flowed beyond the tender veal shanks beyond to the delicious chef nurtured pasta. This place is a sine qua non for lovers of fine cuisine by a master chef. Each and every year will find us back again. Dr. Reg Sevayega More
OpenTable Diner -
Beautiful venue with excellent service. The staff did a great job recommending wines and keeping our glasses filled. It did get a little crowded and noisy but I guess that's the mark of a good location. We opted to taste a couple of wines and have an appetizer and then ventured elsewhere for dinner just because there are so many options. Why should you have to choose just one! More

Visited on a Friday night. Reservation was for 6:15 and we were the only ones in th dining room for probably 30 minutes. Makes you wonder but the food was very tasty, cocktails were good and when we left 2 other parties had arrived. It's not cheap...4 cocktails, 2 apps and a split entree came in at $120 but it was a nice date night. More
