Blackwall Hitch

Our small group ate here for brunch. We made online reservations and were seated quickly. The food and service were great. I had a delicious eggs Beni. We were visiting and I forgot to take a photo of my plate. Afterwards we did check out the upstairs. They have great event spaces- upstairs and at the backyard patio (surprisingly large).

My first time at Blackwall did not disappoint. It was highly recommended and everything was wonderful. Visited on a Tues @11:30am to enjoy a quiet lunch outing. Appetizers: calamari and wings. The day's special that was not on the menu was a crab cake, blackened salmon/shrimp on a bed of delicious mash potatoes. Dessert was red velvet cheesecake, a must! Our waitress Ava was very nice, making our visit pleasant.

My girlfriend and I went here for brunch, and we enjoyed ourselves. Beautiful view ofnthe marina. Great food (if you like oysters or shrimp, this is the place to come to for Sunday brunch. There are other great options as well to choose from if seafood isn't your thing. Excellent Service - Ms. Nicki was our waitress. There was a live band playing jazz or laid back R&B. I even danced. I told my friend that this will be our spot and definitely going back. Heads up to all future patrons please make reservations in advance (I used Open table). Also gratuity is automatically added to your bill. Other than that, eat, drink and enjoy the vibe.

Had a reservation for four at 1pm on August 24th. The host was helpful and we didn't have a wait due to a reservation. Food: The quality of the food has gone down. Most of the covered dishes near the bar were hard, cold or barely warm. The carved roast beef was too hard to cut. The guys at the omelet station told me they could not make an omelet with one egg. It's really wasteful to make an omelet with three eggs versus one. Some of the dessert station items were stale and very hard. Service: While the server was polite. She spent most of her time at a very needy table with five females. She brought our party two cold coffees that we waited about 12 minutes before receiving. She only refilled our water right before we were about to leave the restaurant. Yet the booth with the 5 women had refill of mimosas and sparkling water non-stop. Not sure if this is a restaurant tactic to get customers to spend money on alcohol. But most certainly customers not drinking alcohol should receive the same customer service. Atmosphere: The ambiance is always nice in Sunday with live jazz. Had it not been for the jazz our party would have left. It appears to be a breakdown of who should be removing used plates from the table. There were so many tables with piled up plates it was ridiculous. Needless to say I will pass on brunch at this restaurant in the future.

I would rate this experience a 2 out of 5. We chose to sit outside and waited 20 minutes for our drinks, but the server only brought one. After that, we received our appetizers, which did not came with plates for us to serve ourselves. We enjoyed the appetizers, but then we waited another 20 minutes for our main courses, during which our second drink finally arrived. When the main dishes arrived, we were quite disappointed. They lacked seasoning and were quite bland. While we were pleased with the appetizers, the overall service fell short. Our server seldom checked on us, and we found ourselves without water for a while. Overall, this was by far the worst restaurant experience I've had, and I wouldn’t recommend it. We came based on a friend's recommendation, but unfortunately, I won’t be returning due to the poor service.

A lovely place right on the dock, the food was all pretty, we had the crab fritters 4/5, Lobster bisque 5/5. Shabby 5/5. Short Rib Sandwich 3/5. The server was excellent, and the decor and vibe were both very good.

We had a nice time. Great views. Great servers and host. The manager Mercedes is extremely hospitable. Customer Service is A1 I highly recommend this restaurant whether girls day or night out or couples. The patio seating is very nice overlooking the water.

I recently had the pleasure of celebrating my brother-in-law's 50th birthday at this wonderful restaurant, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, the event coordinator, Stephanie, and the assistant event coordinator, Camille, were incredibly helpful and accommodating, making sure everything was taken care of to perfection. The ambiance of the restaurant was warm and inviting, setting the perfect tone for our celebration. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious—every dish was beautifully presented, and the flavors were outstanding. The service was impeccable, with the staff being attentive yet unobtrusive, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout the afternoon. The entertainment was also fantastic, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to the event. My family can't stop talking about how wonderful everything was, and my brother-in-law couldn't have been more pleased with the venue for his milestone birthday. I highly recommend this restaurant for any special occasion or even just for a meal—it truly exceeded all our expectations!

The food and service was amazing. The Pork Chop was grilled to perfection. Asparagus was crispy how I like it and seasoned to perfection as well . The staff and manager were nice

The food was amazing and the service was exceptional! Evelynn G went out of her way to ensure our first visit felt like eating a meal at home! When you come here, please ask for Evelynn G (and the peach tea), you will not regret it!

Old town Alexandria Harbor's busy and great restaurants. The reception and servers were great, even when having to balance super large crowds. It used to a large restaurant and can get VERY busy on the weekends. It affects the ambience a bit, but in a positive way. Get a reservation ahead of time to save yourself waiting time. Ok, the hamburger was extra special. Medium rare and soooooo good.

Great spot for a late night drink and bite. Live music and great cocktails. The service was fast and the food was good. The drinks were ok the small side but the price but they were tasty. Right on the water with great views of you take a stroll after dinner.

This was my first time at the Blackwall Hitch location and I was underwhelmed. As a sidenote: their gluten free menu has 4 items, yet more entrees including the salmon and kale salad can be made gluten free. The salmon was good. The dressing could have used more acidity and less sweetener. The mango drink was good. Lots of mango juice for those who love mango! It's something going on with the bathrooms in restaurants lately. In this location, the paper towels dispensers were broken, one of the toilets was clogged, the soap dispenser was out of soap, and the caulk was moldy. Our waiter was great and I appreciated her service.

Fun happy hour experience on the back porch. Half price "Jumbo Hitch" wings (by the lb) with split sweet chili garlic bbq sauce and carlic-crab spice seasoning. Excellent flavors, crunch, and just enjoyed 'em. Off HH menu, tried the Hitch Caesar. Tasty. Also had the entree Blackwall Cheese Burger with bacon. It was good. Enjoyed it! Overall great meal on a beautiful day.

Second time coming here. This time I got the pear blossom cocktail, the mahi tacos, and 3 oysters. Love this place. Make a reservation online. Sit outside if you can, beautiful patio section. A section of it is dog friendly too. The food is great, the drinks are great.

Betty my girl. YOU ARE THE BEST. Amazing bar host, got us litt!!! The food is amazing and service is TOP TIER. Surprise guest appearance by Chris Bassett was the icing on the cake. Will be back for brunch on Sunday from 10am-3pm .

AGM Darnell Gatewood ensured a regular afternoon ln h was top tier. His service, attentiveness and kindness made all the difference!

Betty is Amazing. She was very professional very attentive. she had great choices of drinks and every time I come she remembers who I am which makes me feel welcome. Betty you ROCK!!!

My family and I had an 8pm reservation for 11 for Saturday, February 22nd. Earlier in the day, we called to let them know that instead of 11 we would have 10. The host ended up saying, "okay. We will see what we can do." We thought that was strange but then we assumed this is something he said out of habit- similar to when the movie theater attendant tells you to enjoy the show and you say, "you, too" out of habit. We checked in by 8:00pm and they told us that they were getting our table ready. Most of the group arrived by 8:00pm and the last two in the party arrived maybe 5-10min after that. I want to say around 8:10pm we were taken to the back to the table. They brought us to a table for 8. When we brought this to their attention, they brought over two additional chairs... for a table that was designed for 8!! We tried to be open minded and sat down. Then we realized how cramped we all were. It was ridiculous. We asked the host if it were possible to have the original table we made a reservation for... the table that should easily accommodate 10? We were told nothing else was available. We ended up speaking to the manager who didn't seem all that apologetic. His attitude was kind of, well this is all that we have. My husband spoke with him again and around 8:25pm he said there was a table finishing up in the front and once it is cleaned and set, we could go there. I kid you not, we were not seated there until 20 minutes later. We still had not had any water or any kind of service by 8:51pm. We did receive water at 8:52pm. We were starving and quickly placed our orders. The food did come out quickly. It took the alcoholic beverages some time to come out. I ordered a Mango mocktail and it was DELICIOUS. It was super sweet so I watered it down. That also helped that $8 juice go a long way, haha. For dinner I had the red brick chicken, fingerling potatoes, and brussel sprouts. It came with a thin layer of juice on the plate. The food was BLAND, especially the chicken and brussel sprouts. Dipping it in the juice on the plate helped a lot, but there wasn't much of it. I would definitely order something different next time or maybe bring some season salt to sprinkle on it. We ended up leaving a little after 10pm. The manager did not come by once to check on us. He didn't offer any discount or offer to return for the inconvenience. Idk. It was just really terrible customer service. I don't think I will come back here. **Edited to add: the SERVER we had was good and was patient throughout the confusion.

I had lunch today at BH to celebrate a friend's birthday. From the time we entered and were met at the door by the GM, Andy until the time we departed it was an extremely pleasurable dining experience!!! I would rate the entire experience a solid ten. Great atmosphere and great food! Here are some details, our server, Dennis answered all of our questions and recommended great dishes. To include the appetizers: Calamari and Flaming Crab Dip. Both were delicious!!!! Next, our entrees included the daily special which consisted of salmon, crab and shrimp blackened on mashed potatoes. That plate was cleaned.. .no need for the dishwasher! Also, had the beef short rib pasta dish which was good and plenteous had to take some leftovers home, to leave room for dessert!!! Again Dennis, didn't disappoint based on his recommendations we had the sorbet, key lime pie and red velvet cheesecake...drop your spoon/fork and shut your mouth good!!! If you're thinking about dinning at BH in the future don't hesitate and do yourself a BIG favor and request Dennis for your server. You won't regret it!!! We'll definitely be back real soon! Thanks Andy and Dennis for a great birthday celebration and fond memories!!!

***Updating this review to say I reached out twice (as requested by the manager below) and have not received a reply back. Very poor customer service in my experience! *** This rating is for the service only because, unfortunately, that's all I can rate. We walked in, were seated immediately, and then...nothing. We waited for 20 minutes with no one bringing us water, taking our order, or checking in. When another table got sat in our area and was waited on right away, we found someone on staff to let them know we haven't been attended to. They said they would go get someone for us and another 10 minutes later... still nothing. I can easily let go of mistakes and mishaps, but when they are brought to someone's attention, I think they should be addressed right away. Unfortunately can't rate the food since after waiting for 30 minutes and telling someone on staff about our issue with no changes we decided to leave. It wasn't busy, and there were plenty of workers around, so I'm not sure how this happened. I hope others have a better experience!

I recently visited for a private event where the outdoor patio was reserved. I couldn't believe this was the same restaurant I visited a while back. I had to come and update my review to reflect the experience I had. The food was great and everything was perfect. They were wonderful hosts and everything was on point as an attendee. After this occasion, I just might come back. I enjoy this part of town and this venue.

It was a nice day in Alexandria, VA until we decided to have lunch at this place. The service was below average. The food was terrible. There wasn't any lump crab in the cakes but they wanted market price. The stuff crab rockfish was overcooked to the point a knife and fork couldn't cut through it. The pasta dishes were watery and the pasta was clumped together. The only good thing was the location of the restaurant but the restaurant was empty of diners.

My Waterfront Ride-or-Die Let me be clear--Blackwall Hitch isn't just a restaurant. It's my happy place. My go-to for friend catch-ups, office gossip sessions, Sunday survival brunches, or just treating myself like the coastal royalty I pretend to be. I've been coming here for years, and not once--not once--have I walked out disappointed (unless you count being full to the point of regret, which I don't). Let's talk Sunday brunch, a.k.a. the real reason I have trust issues with other buffets. It's an all-you-can-eat extravaganza that makes you question why you ever bothered with "just a coffee" on Sundays. There's an omelette station run by wizards, a prime rib carving bar that makes you feel like you're at a medieval feast, raw oysters so fresh they whisper ocean secrets, and a waffle bar that comes with toppings, no judgment, and yes, I tried all of them. And don't even get me started on the shrimp and grits--it's like the South gave me a warm hug and a spicy wink. Throw in cocktail shrimp, biscuits drowning in sausage gravy, and beverages that go down a little too easily (hello, mimosa refill #4), and you've got yourself a Sunday well lived. The vibe? Coastal chic meets brunch party. Big sunny windows, live music, and a waitstaff that hustles like it's their cardio. Whether you're sipping a Bloody Mary or just soaking in the waterfront views while pretending not to eavesdrop on the next table's drama, this place delivers. In short, Blackwall Hitch is the Beyoncé of the Alexandria waterfront. Consistently fabulous, crowd-pleasing, and always in control of the room.

Came here during Alexandria restaurant week. The area that this is located in is super cute! We enjoyed walking by the water while waiting for our reservation. Inside the restaurant, there were live singers performing and adding to the general open and joyous ambiance. I ordered the mango ceviche, which was delicious. I also got the creole rigatoni, which was also very yummy! For dessert, we got the tiramisu, which was great. I also nibbled on truffle fries, which I enjoyed very much.

Visited Blackwall for the first time this weekend and had a nice experience! The vibe was relaxed when I first arrived, but it did get busier as the evening went on. The drinks were fantastic, and I really enjoyed the crab dip--it was flavorful and a great appetizer. For my entrée, I ordered the Creole pasta, but unfortunately, it didn't hit the mark. It lacked the bold flavors I was expecting and didn't really give me those classic Creole vibes. I think it could use more seasoning or flavor to make it stand out. Overall, great atmosphere and drinks, but the entrée could use some improvement.

The food is mid at best. The flaming hot crab dip does not come out flaming hot anymore. My short rib sandwich, while it is thick, lacked flavor or seasoning. The ambience is AMAZING! Top tier on a beautiful day. However, can the restaurant update it's payment system and utilize electronic payments? Tap to pay is much more secure then handing my card to a server and them walking around with my card.

Betty was an excellent bartender and server. She made great food recommendations and kept our adult beverages coming. We will see her soon.

Service was friendly, but only stopped by our table occasionally. Super fresh and tasty fries for the appetizer. Nice pasta dishes and sandwiches. Oysters were overpriced. There was a mix-up in our order which required another pasta entree to be ordered. The kitchen was also very, very slow.

My sisters and I went here for brunch and I was impressed by all the food options for the price. Brunch is $48.00 for all you can eat brunch. They have a seafood bar, fresh salmon, and other meats station, omelette station, waffles and a hot bar station. The food was spectacular but the greens stole the show for me! The salmon was cooked to perfection! Oh I can't forget about the fresh fruit and salad! I loved that they kept each station stocked each time I went back for more food. I got my moneys worth ! They had a live band and they were playing some good music. The place was cleaned and the staff were super friendly! I liked that the managers were interacting with each tab too! I'll be back!

Yikes, what a disaster. I had this reservation booked well in-advance and despite having the reservation it took TWENTY-FOUR MINUTES to be acknowledged and put in an order; 15min to even be noticed and asked if we'd been served and then provided water. Yikes. We had 2 waiters come by asking if we'd been helped only to ultimately be served by someone else entirely. It was truly disappointing considering there were FIVE tables that came in after us and not only got served consistently and faster than we did, but FINISHED dining before we even got our entrees. Given the thrash it took to just get served, when we finally got our food, it was subpar and lacked seasoning. It's likely due to the already bad taste in our mouths due to the length of wait time and just a seaway into an already lackluster dining experience. We had such high hopes considering it was our first time here and the reviews and the menu made it look promising. Sad to say, this not only isn't a repeat but it's just overrated and not worth the time of day. Overall, a very, very, very disappointing experience and definitely not worth the wait nor the high cost.

I come here regularly, but maybe because it's Virginia's restaurant week the service wasn't that great today. However the menu selection was really good and the food was great. Unfortunately they set us in the bar area even though we made a reservation for regular seating, which was pretty loud so it was had to hear our table

My wife and I made a reservation for Blackwall Hitch and our experience was extremely disappointing. We enjoy eating out and have tried many restaurants in the Alexandria/NCR region and this was certainly our worst experience. Despite our reservation, we were seated and waited over 15 minutes without anyone approaching us. We waived one of the staff down to ask for water and placing an order. This gentleman was polite and took our drink order; however, another 25 minutes passed before another staff member approached our table asking whether we had been helped. After again placing our order, we waited until a third member came by and began our service. By this point, nearly 40 minutes had passed since our arrival. We ordered the crab dip based on our waitress's recommendation and it was blander than we would have expected based on the restaurant and similar dishes in the area. For our entrees, we ordered the filet mignon and shrimp and scallop risotto. Despite their prices, these items were also fairly mediocre. When our check arrived, we were surprised to see a charge for paying with a non-cash payment, as this was not something we expected from this type of restaurant, and for the water, as we did not request speciality water and there was not an option for "free" water. Overall, I would discourage others from dining here. There are far better dining experiences based on food quality, price, and service.

-Food- Crispy Calamari Fritz: 5/5 delicious! Wings (Garlic-Crab Seasoning): 3/5 they are too salty Crispy Brussel Sprouts: 4.5/5 Truffle & Parmesan Fries: 4/5 good but nothing special Chesapeake Flatbread: 4.5/5 it's good but needs more crab meat on top to make it better in my opinion Crab Cake Sandwich: 4/5 the crab cake was not big at all. I expected more crab meat for the price. -Service- The service at Blackwall Hitch in Alexandria is always wonderful. The staff are always checking in to make sure you're taken care of -Ambiance- The ambiance depends on the day. During happy hour it can get a little rowdy by the bar with people coming in to take advantage of the pricing specials.

Service was Amazing. Braised Short Rib Pasta was 5***** the Fried Oysters with Sweet Potatoes required a Double Order. Brussel Sprouts so good. Lemon Drop drinks were great. Customers around me have dates regularly. Water front parking was easy right under restaurant. Miles of beautiful views and walking. Environment was on some chill time

There are quite a few restaurants in this family. Stopped in after a funeral with family for lunch. For the reputation of the chain, I only thought the experience was just okay. The drinks were fine. Not exactly so good that I would order them again. Both the crab dip and seafood grill were fine, but both the pasta dish and calamari were bland. You can actually tell from the pics I have provided.

UPDATE: Dropping my review to one star because after making the initial review I was told to email to get this resolved? I did exactly that and no one has responded to me at all. And upon further look at their website, there is no mention of these fees. Another commenter mentioned how these hidden fees are not posted on the website, nor in the restaurant, and the servers do not tell you about it, making this practice illegal. This is for sure one of those places that I highly regret not looking at the reviews first before dining.

Aside from being seated and having to get up to ask for a server to come over after 15 minutes, everything else was great. Food was delicious and service was perfect from then on. The sauce for the calamari was amazing and the blackened salmon had really good flavor and was cooked perfectly. Great vibes in the restaurant - seems like a place that is always busy and has a good crowd with great music. Would definitely come back again! I'd love to try for brunch.

The Food and customer service were good. Will be returning. Parking was a little challenging.

Quick stop in for a couple of appetizers. I was able to sit at the bar where the bartender quickly offered up a menu and a few suggestions. I came on a Sunday in between brunch & and dinner so there was a slight pause until 4pm. The bartender also shared some of the events that the restaurant offered. Most def will come back.

The restaurant is in a great location with seating facing the pier. The service is ok with very young and uniformed staff. The food was ok but nothing great worth mentioning. I didn't leave feeling like I would want to return anytime soon.

Our family went here reluctantly as my husband and I both remember it was not that great years ago and were reminded that still remained true. I would say the only positive thing was for the price of the kids meals, I was satisfied with the portion sizes (4 tenders and fries). For the entrees, my husband ordered the crab-stuffed rockfish and said it was pretty dry. I ordered the crabcakes and they were pretty horrible. Full of filler, and tiny shells. For $46 I was pretty upset. The asparagus was good (I subbed that instead of the rice). My MIL ordered the Shobb salad and there was maybe 1 scallop, 3 shrimp, and she couldn't find any lump crab meat. It was basically a pile of lettuce for $30. We also ordered the frozen drink of the day which was frosé and it was extremely sweet. Our server was pretty absent as well, took our order in a timely manner, but never checked on us and took FOREVER to flag him down for our check and get it/get it back. All in all, we won't be returning.

Great service, our server was attentive, patient and friendly. We were there to attend a farewell luncheon so the menu offered a few pre-selected options. We were not given the full menu options. I was able to try a few starters/apps which included the coconut shrimp (jumbo) & the spring rolls! Both were hits in my opinion. Again I am not sure if these items are on their full menu. I ordered the salmon, which in my opinion was tasteless and very lacking in flavor. Overall I felt like I wasted money on this outing. Which was fine because it was for a work related function. So I am sure our meals were somewhat prepared to keep us within our time restrictions. The overall experience of this restaurant was nice. I enjoyed the beautiful open spaces all throughout the venue. I love the restaurant is located on the waterfront. What a romantic diner date option. I will have to come back with my husband! Or possibly for a happy hour.

Enjoyed happy hour in a short staffed bar but service was still top tier. The bartender Erik and the bar back were extremely gracious and accommodating and we totally understood the wait. Made sure to let the MOD know how good the service was. Would definitely come back and would totally recommend

Great restaurant on the water centrally located. It's huge too so great place for happy hours or to hang out with friends. We got a couple of appetizers, a chicken sandwich and salmon risotto and everything tasted really good. Also the whole lighting the crab dip on fire is pretty cool. Our service was fantastic and I'm sure we'll be back

Been a while since I had fresh upscale seafood in a while. I tried the $40.00 trio meal. The shrimp cocktail was ok, the samon was excellent and the dessert was not bad. My wife had the crab cake which was excellent along fish sandwich

The day was a beautiful 80° so I decided to dropped in Blackwall Hitch for a outdoor solo dinner date. I got a little bit of reading and calendaring done... Go Me‼. I started out with the winter spice old fashioned even though it is the beginning of summer, It was okay. I just got into oysters and I decided to try two, the Chesapeake which was delicious & the Rising Dragon which was okay, but also tiny. For my main I went with the crab stuffed rockfish. The flavors were incredible but I think they overcooked the fish because it was on the dry side. I promise not to miss happy hour the next time so I can enjoy way more things for less

Made reservations for Mother's Day weekend. The Mother's Day brunch on Sunday was booked so we were able to make reservations for Saturday. Our reservation was set for 2 o'clock. We arrived a little late but within our 15 minute grace. We had a party of nine. We were taken to our table within five minutes of arriving. We sat in the bar area. It was packed but you couldn't tell because the tables are not on top of each other. Which is a plus especially on a busy weekend. I feel like we ordered everything. The crab dip was amazing and it came with pita bread. I also ordered the Chesapeake oyster. I wish I had ordered more. I only ordered one. Womp womp! Lol! I also ordered wings. I can't remember the flavor. I think it was sweet and spicy. Those were some of the best wings that I have had in a long time even though they had a sauce they were still crispy. I also had filet mignon with a crabcake added. The mashed potatoes and the sauce that came with it were so good. My family was so pleased with the food and the service that we got. We will definitely come back again. Can't wait!!

Wandered over on 1/2 price bottle Wednesday and were fortunate enough to have the dynamic duo of Dennis and Yaya to take care of us. They were caring without being overbearing, and the outdoor bar had a lovely breeze on a hot night. Needless to say, we'll be back !

I love this place! Always great service and very professional management team. This place is a sure shot. You will always have good food, and a great time here. This time I went with a large group. Appetizers we ordered were: brussel sprouts (LOVE), wings (sweet chilli, buffalo, plain); crab dip. All were very good. The entrees were Rock Fish, short ribs, and crab cakes. All the food was delicious. My mom doesn't like anything and she doesn't eat other people's food, but she loved all the food. Again good food, great customer service from waitstaff and management. Beautiful, clean, light-filled venue on the water. Highly recommend.

Mercedes and Micheal provided us with warm and welcoming service! They checked in frequently without being too much. The food was delicious and the drinks were top notch!

Gorgeous views, clean and welcoming. They said Tuesday was a slow day but filled up fast. We had not eaten all day so we were famished and ended up ordering a lot. I highly recommend the oysters but at $8 a piece we only got 1 each. My husband always orders the brussel sprouts as an appetizer wherever we go and they were tasty. I ordered the crab dip also good but the crackers tasted stale. I got a soda and my husband ordered a pumpkin ale beer that tasted like pumpkin pie. He ordered the Salmon special and the salmon was cooked perfectly seared with a crust. I got a flatbread pizza also good but by that time was getting full. Like I said a lot of food but we were able to take it back to the VRBO for later. For dessert we got the bread pudding and that was a disappointment. It was cold and did not have a lot of bourbon sauce. Our waitress was super sweet and very conversational. Over all a good experience but it had been a long day. I forgot to get pictures but my husband snapped a few.

Blackwall Hitch is my favorite brunch spot! First and foremost, big shoutout to our waiter Otu. You were great my guy! Knowledgeable, friendly, quick, just an overall great host. Blackwall Hitch promotes a comfortable, family-friendly environment. The staff is friendly, and the open layout adds to the welcoming vibe. Outdoor Spaces: If the weather permits, enjoy your meal on the beautiful outdoor patio. It's a great spot to soak in the lively atmosphere while savoring your food. The food is top tier. So many options and they're all wonderful. Come on down for brunch and tell them Dre sent you. Enjoy that fried chicken, cheese grits, and oysters. I know that's a wild combo but I'm all over the place when I check in. Enjoy folks As always #EatGoodAndBeHappy

The location is perfect. Right in front of the Potomac River. You can see the National Harbour at night and it's great for pictures. Visited for a 2nd time for a birthday dinner. The food was delicious, good portion sizes and the atmosphere was louder than i expected but wasn't too loud. There is an upper level used for private events and parties and I noticed a table advertising wedding

Last Saturday night my friends wanted to have a wedding after party here and I have to say the manager was exceptionally accommodating. As in all after party situations you don't know how many are showing, what time you're showing up, who everyone is, etc. but the manager made me feel so welcome! I've been to Michelin star restaurants where this was not the case. He was super professional, explained where he could put us, where tables would open up. We had drinks, there was great music, and had a great time. Management and service like that is for sure worth coming back for! Pro tip. They actually have parking in the underground garage under their establishment!

Amean was very attentive and personable. Service was prompt and amazing. The food was totally on point. From this visit we would highly recommend the Chesapeake flatbread, fried green tomatoes with crab, and oysters as starters. And if you are fortunate to have Amean, you won't regret it.

Ambiance and service was some of the best I've experienced in Old Town! Our server, Joslynn, was attentive. The band interacted with the crowd and played hits from the 80's and 90's:
