This place is awesome! It has a nice atmosphere and the location is great! The food and the service were great also! They have indoor and outdoor seating. There is a bar as well. The lighting indoors was dimmed, so we sat outside. The restaurant sits down by the Potomac River. There are shopping and other food spots around also. Whether you're with family, friends, date, or whatever, it's a great place to grab a bite!

Dynamic downtown with copious amounts of bars, restaurants, coffee shops and the like. If you need to take a breather to decompress, take a walk along the waterfront, where there are calming seas, ample greenery, and beautiful brick dwellings to add to the ambiance. All in all, a fantastic place for a stroll.

A truly wonderful place to enjoy the outdoors and connect with nature. The park offers stunning ocean views, delicious dining options at nearby restaurants, and well-maintained walking paths that are perfect for a relaxing stroll. The combination of scenic beauty, excellent food, and thoughtfully designed spaces makes it an ideal spot for families, friends, or solo visits. Highly recommended for unwinding and recharging!

There’s 3 floors to explore inside the Torpedo. There’s different exhibition on each floors and the arts are for sale as well. The 3rd floor is like a little museum that showcases the history of Toledo factory, African American Waterfront Heritage Trail and some Archaeological stuff was on display too. You will enjoy visiting if you love artwork. Parking garage and street parking is available. No tickets needed for entry.

Situated at 301 King Street, right in front of City Hall, the Old Town Alexandria Farmers' Market is a historic gem and a Saturday morning staple for those who live nearby. Open every Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to Noon, rain, shine, or snow, this is not just a farmers market; this is THE farmers market! Holding the title of the oldest farmers' market in the country held continuously at the same site, it offers a unique blend of history and community spirit. You can stroll through the same market that George Washington sold his produce from Mount Vernon and immerse yourself in a tradition that dates back centuries. From the moment you arrive, the market's lively atmosphere draws you in. With over 70 vendors during peak season, there's a dazzling array of offerings including fresh fruits and vegetables, hot prepared foods, cheeses, specialty sauces, freshly baked breads, pastries and much more. Some of my favorite and regular places that I visit at the market are Coulter farms (which provides high-quality dairy goods, beef, granolas and more from an Amish farm), Baked by Yael (which offers delectable bagels and treats that are perfect for a quick snack as you browse) and Hog Haven Farm which is a crowd favorite (their breakfast sandwiches are so good, there's often a line, but it moves quickly and is worth every minute of the wait). Also I can't forget about MB Bakery On The Go, located along the back side of the fountain, it has a lot of real estate showcasing their variety of baked goods and famous homemade pop-tarts. Chocotenango Chocolate is also great (chocolates handcrafted from bean to bar). Bigg Riggs Gourmet Farm brings some of the freshest fruits and vegetables, and Farm Kettle Corn is perfect for a sweet and / or savory, crunchy treat. If you're looking for something for the home head to Lily Shoppe which sells natural soap bars that are aromatic and sweet, you can browse them while snacking on an Maracas Ice Pop (all-natural fruit popsicles) from the corner. They are a refreshing and delicious way to help keep you cool on these hot DMV Saturdays. There are too many great places to list here but it's a overall a great opportunity to support local businesses all at once! Live musical performances also add to the festive ambiance, making the market experience even more enjoyable (these performances seem to rotate every week). With many public bike racks close to Market Square, it’s bike-friendly too—just remember to bring your own lock as bikes (as well as pets) aren't permitted on Market Square during market hours. The Old Town Alexandria Farmers' Market is more than a place to shop; it’s a place to connect with locals and local businesses, experience history, and enjoy the best local produce and artisanal goods the area has to offer. It’s an essential Saturday destination that promises a delightful experience for everyone. Whether you're a local or just visiting, this market is a must-visit if you are nearby!

Great place to grab a sunset dinner after a long bike ride! We dined outside on a very nice evening. Our server was super fun, professional, and enthusiastic to tell us about his favorites off the menu. I got the Crispy Shrimp Po'Boy which was a satisfactory portion size given the price. I felt it could have used more vegetables to balance out the fried food, but that's more of a personal preference.

Ben & Jerry’s in Old Town Alexandria is a delightful spot that perfectly blends fun and flavor. The shop's vibrant and welcoming atmosphere makes it a favorite for both locals and visitors. Their wide array of inventive ice cream flavors, like the classic Cherry Garcia and the indulgent Chocolate Fudge Brownie, ensures there's something for everyone. The staff is friendly and efficient, adding to the overall enjoyable experience. Whether you're strolling through the historic streets or looking for a sweet treat to brighten your day, this Ben & Jerry’s location is a must-visit.

First time here. Atmosphere is nostalgic of a quaint pub. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The blackberry hard cider was excellent. Got the buttermilk fried chicken the first night (yes I took a bite before taking the pic) the bacon gravy was out of this world. Liked it so much we went back the next night. The owner remembered us and was super friendly and welcoming. French dip was also very good. He even gave me bacon gravy for my fries. Thank you for making this trip memorable with amazing food and hospitality. Will definitely be back when visiting again. There will be a next time for sure. Also, it is down by the waterfront so you can see National Harbor from outside. We watched the fireworks for a bit on the 3rd.

While visiting Alexandria from San Antonio, TX, we stopped by the Chart House for lunch with the family. It was a beautiful day, so we opted to sit on the patio with a lovely view of the river. The service was excellent, and the food did not disappoint. The guys also decided to try the fresh oysters, which they thoroughly enjoyed. We each ordered something different, and there were no complaints from anyone. Next time we’re in Alexandria, we’ll definitely be back!

Potomac Yard Center is a great shopping destination with a wide variety of stores and dining options. Whether you’re looking for big-name retailers like Target, Best Buy, or Marshalls, or grabbing a quick bite, everything is conveniently located in one place. The parking is ample and easy to navigate, and the center is well-maintained. It’s a convenient spot for running errands or spending a leisurely afternoon shopping. The area is also close to public transportation, making it easily accessible.

A great intimate venue. They do serve food that is good and reasonably priced. A couple of points to note. The doors open at 5:00 for a 7:30 show. At 5:00 when the doors the box office gives you a number. At 6:00, they will start calling the numbers in order from 1. When your number is called you show your tickets and are allowed into the seating area. Once in, you may sit at any open seats. This is when you may order food. Because of the use of issuing numbers, folks arrive early and line up outside. If you want to sit up close to the stage, arriving as early as possible and getting in line is necessary. We got there by 4. Also of note, only electronic tickets from Ticketmaster are accepted. Screen shots will not work. Finally, it is a large parking lot but does fill up. A number of folks did use ride shares but the rideshare drivers have to enter when the majority of traffic is going the other way. Definitely a great intimate venue but best to know what to expect.

Went for our anniversary, had an amazing experience. We did the tasting menu which was phenomenal. Came with a few chef’s extras Huge portions, we were stuffed. They also brought us some cake pops to celebrate and some champagne at the beginning. The only thing I’ll say was that it’s a smaller menu with only a few main course options, and we weren’t told that the fish was sold out until we tried to order it, leaving us with only meat and veggie-only options. Everything was delicious, though!

6OCT2024 Lovely spot to hangout, eat lunch on a blanket, and enjoy the view along the Potomac. Beautiful views all around and everyone from everywhere is always out here walking around in historic Alexandria. This park is well kept and really inviting to be out and about. Parking is free on Sundays but limited to 2 hours Monday through Saturday.

If you're looking for a historic authentic experience, this place is a must. The outside of the red brick building caught our attention, and we decided to try. Inside, there was the Colonial charm. We sat down in one of the side rooms. Our waiter was quick and attentive. I had the prime rib with mashed potatoes, and my wife had lamb chops. The food was delicious. As it started getting darker outside, there was a warm, dark ambiance to the room. It felt like stepping back in time. The place is a must if you're visiting Alexandria, a place that exceeded our expectations and will leave a lasting impression on us.

My first bite was a taste sensation and locked in my opinion of 5-star food! The freshness of the ingredients shone thru! Nothing extravagant about the decor, but there is pleasant outdoor seating (in addition to the cozy indoor dining). Pleasant, attentive and quick service.

First time here. My bill was a little over $13 for the buffalo chicken eggroll (2"×5"), fries and a drink. Pricey, right? But! It was delicious!!! The service was excellent. The cashiers are super friendly and made recommendations. Restaurant is clean. Bathroom is clean. Nice lunch spot. Definitely worth trying.

Very intimate setting, great for an impressive date night. Hard to get reservations due to only having 3 tables. But totally worth it for the amazing top tier fine dining experience. The chef explained each dish personally and gave recommendations on how to eat it. Was truly the best dining experience I’ve had. Every dish out did the last. The sashimi plate and ox tail soup a were stand outs. However the menu varies by day.

The food here is so good and so fresh. The customer service is really good too. Our server Feliciano was so kind and sweet. They have something on the menu for everyone including vegans and vegetarians. And for the food to be as fresh as it is, it’s very inexpensive. I cannot wait to go back again.

Excellent place to view wildlife of all types, especially birds. The boardwalks that wind their way through the park offer sweeping views of the marshy area. You’ll meet a lot of people taking pictures of the wildlife (including myself). If you’re coming out here with small children, be mindful of the fact that large portions of the boardwalk do not have railings so keep them close.

I finally visited after finding out about this church a year ago. Great pastor & great sermon. I can tell the congregation loves their church because I arrived 5 minutes early to the second service and was almost sent to the overflow. I know next time to arrive much earlier. Parking: if you don’t get there early enough the garage parking will be full & you then have to find street parking & then walk. I had to walk 2 blocks, but at least the street parking is free on Sundays.

We had a great time visiting your nephew and his favorite brewery! It's always a good sign when a place manages to be both family-friendly and have great craft brews. We enjoyed the atmosphere and walked away with some great swag. Highly recommend you stop in for a beer.

Lights at Cameron Run Regional Park is truly an incredible experience. Within the confines of the Wave Pool are areas with gorgeous, colorful lights. I would advise to purchase your tickets ahead of time to save a few minutes waiting in line. They have hot chocolate, doughnut holes and cookies for sale. The hot chocolate is hot as FIRE, so beware if you have small kids. The event itself is self paced and there is ice skating available for additional price above the entrance ticket price. Please dress warm, and enjoy!

We had an outstanding experience at The Study at Morrison House. The staff and the food were nothing short of exceptional, and we eagerly anticipate our next visit to explore more of the tantalizing options on their menu. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted and swiftly seated. The decor was elegant, and the ambiance set the perfect tone for a romantic dinner. Our waiter, Rodney, was phenomenal. He was incredibly attentive, kind, and had an impressive knowledge of the menu. His recommendations were spot-on and greatly enhanced our dining experience. The food was spectacular, from the appetizers to the dessert. Each dish was a delight to the senses, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. The attention to detail in both taste and presentation was exactly what one would expect from a high-end restaurant. We can't wait to return and try more of their amazing dishes.

Our server was amazing. Food was absolutely fabulous. We shared garlic knots and The Buddy Detroit style. It was just enough for 2 of us! Loved the decor as well. Will definitely be back if ever in the area again!

Went here for dinner one evening and had a great experience! The staff is very friendly and funny, and the food tasted very fresh. We started with the carpaccio, then one of us got linguine with broccoli and crab, the other got liver, and then we ended with a chocolate kahlua cheesecake (my favorite part). Will definitely be returning!

Denny’s serves decent diner classics—fluffy pancakes, hearty Grand Slams, and reliable burgers. Nothing gourmet, but satisfying for the price. Coffee’s average, service varies. Solid 7/10 for comfort food at 3 AM. 🥞☕

Barca is a must-visit if you love tapas and waterfront vibes. The service was absolutely immaculate—attentive without ever feeling rushed. Every dish tasted incredibly fresh and thoughtfully curated. I sampled a variety of plates and was impressed across the board: the lamb and steak were both perfectly tender and bursting with flavor. The calamari came out crisp and golden, and the fried lemon alongside it was a culinary twist I didn’t know I needed. Do not skip the whipped goat cheese with pistachio and honey served with warm, fresh pita—truly to die for. Whether you’re there for a date night or a night out with friends, Barca delivers a dining experience that’s as memorable as the view

Got to watch a team from Harrison Lake National Fish Hatchery planting mussels in the Potomac River.

What a cool authentic time capsule of an early US Apothecary. Well worth the time! They even had a letter from Martha Washington ordering supplies from them. The upstairs work shop contains all the original ingredients, storage bins, and tools of the trade that have been there for over 200 years.

We visited to light a candle for a loved one. Very nice historic church, with many stain glassed windows, and statues. Worth a stop in.

Beautiful theatre, lovely atmosphere, and comfortable seats. The play was great and funny, the actors and actresses were so good, the building is loved, and the set was imaginative. It was a wonderful night out!!

Great food, nice atmosphere and views of the Potomac. Service was good too. The big caution here, though, are the prices. This is an expensive place. Plus if you need to park your car, there's no parking lot and you're on your own needing to find a place to park. There is a garage nearby that we used and that was expensive too. We stopped in for lunch and were greeted by the hostess. The place looked great. Everything was modern and clean. The lunch menu is limited but has a couple good choices. The steak salad was delicious. We enjoyed the view as we dined and savored the time spent here. We liked Ada's, despite the high cost. It was a very nice experience, as one would expect at the prices charged.

5 stars — Absolutely phenomenal! The Warehouse is hands-down one of the best seafood spots I’ve been to. We ordered the calamari, gator bites, scallops, seafood sampler, and the herb-crusted salmon with mashed potatoes and asparagus — and every single dish was delicious. Perfectlyo cooked, seasoned just right, and packed with flavor. The atmosphere is charming and laid-back, and the service was on point the entire time. We went on Mother’s Day — one of the busiest dining days of the year — and they handled the crowd effortlessly. Can’t recommend this place enough!

It’s at the back of the Indigo hotel, harder to find from the street, easier from the waterside. It’s a nice spot next to the river with large windows for great views. They also have outside dining that is just as nice, if not better. I started at the bar with some drinks, then went outside and enjoyed the weather with some appetizers. Everything was great, the bar staff were exceptional, food was delicious and the staff were attentive. It’s a great place to get some drinks and a meal, of a great spot to start out before you head out in Old Town.

Fab brunch in the old Fire Station in Alexandria. Bit pricey but the food is delicious. Highly recommend the hash. Good bottomless coffee too. We turned up without a reservation, but most other good places in town you needed to book. Fab selection of beers too.
