Delicious food! The mac n cheese was amazing and my friend loved her wild mushroom omelette. The fries could have been fried a bit longer but enjoyed their thinness. Definitely going back! Our waitress was masked and very friendly.

Delicious, warm, friendly. Have a few ideas on how to attract more than 90s crowds :) The chef is wonderful! I think I love everything I ever had there. The bar staff is super nice and their drinks divine. Location is also great and the vibe of the place quite nice.

My husband and I have been here a little more than a few times. The first time we went I touted this place to my friends, saying it was by far my fav in the Alexandria area. Recently dined here;, not a good experience at all. The trout was sub par, I didn’t complain. My husband found a hair in his dessert. He didn’t complain. The bartender noticed him pulling the hair from his mouth and removed the dessert. I guess she went to the kitchen to tell the owner because she came out and said they were taking it off the check. The owner, who spends most of her time ‘strutting’ around the restaurant, didn’t bother to come over. That’s fine. Instead she decided to whisper to her husband, who can usually be seen downing wine at the bar, and they both laughed, and pointed in our direction. What a couple of clowns! Simply because, wait, we’re paying customers Like I said, we didn’t complain. So why the finger pointing and mocking ? To a customer?? We spent good money in your establishment. Sigh…What we thought was a gem of a bistro, turned out to be a bullying, unpleasant, sub-par establishment. What a huge disappointment. Owner - look into customer service 101. Desperately needed. We. Will. Not. Be. Back.

Lovely little cafe! We stopped by after visiting Mount Vernon and I'm so glad we did. Sometimes you pick a lunch spot at random and it totally exceeds expectation and this was one such place. Menu, wine selection, and ambiance were all lovely.

Just an okay restaurant. Trout with oyster stuffing was terrible. Presentation with head still attached to the trout was not appetizing in addition to the spinach being very greasy. Not even worth a 2 star rating. McDonald's drive thru would have been a better dinner.

Great place. Great food. Good prices for a diner not a bistro. Only downside was people being too loud, I think everybody was drunk by 8PM.

It's a nice place with a variety of choices. I am more of a burger and fries guy, so the menu didn't work for me, but my wife likes it.
