Die besten Restaurants für ein Sonntagsessen in Old Town Alexandria

Outstanding food and drinks! Wonderful atmosphere. Looking forward to returning!

We had a change in plans for our Christmas Eve dinner and were able to get a last minute table for our family of four. Impressed with ambience and service.

We had a wonderful time. The food was fantastic: fresh, delicious and unique. Service was top notch and it was a fun environment. Cocktails were tasty. Price-wise it’s expensive but worth it! I especially enjoyed the chazuta dessert, and my significant other particularly enjoyed the skewers (really great flavor).

Longtime patron writing first review here. Lyon Hall consistently turns out a great menu and is my number one choice in the Arlington/DC area to take friends and clients for dining and drinks. Cocktails are always on point (I had a Boulevardier recently that was spot on; the Paper Plane to Paris is also a tasty version of the original) and their wine/beer list is approachable. Surprisingly, there were no sour beers on menu, so perhaps they have removed them for now (?). My date wanted a sour beer but ended up with the cider, which was tasty and perfectly dry, just what she wanted. This visit I ordered the 3-cheese board and pretzel appetizers and both were tasty: pretzel was large enough to share for sure and arrives with three spreads; the cheese board was well-presented and not fussy: sour cherries, candied nuts, delish toast points...a great value and solid starter. For entrees, the duck breast and roasted chicken were ordered, both cooked perfectly and were the perfect portion size for a hungry diner (although not overly large; if you are famished, perhaps an appetizer or filling up on their incredible bread would be advisable). In recent visits, I've ordered the wild boar ragu; the risotto; the pork schnitzel...all very Fall-y, warm and well spiced. Ambience is modern-professional but not cold and at times can be a bit noisy (especially in the bar area). Staff is friendly: Dana came by our table to ensure that everything was up to par and wished my date a happy birthday. Our server was friendly, provided good suggestions and immediately checked when unsure of an item (the sour beer) and its availability. I'd highly recommend Lyon Hall for dining, drinks in a classy environment or their catering. In my 15 years in Arlington, they've never missed.

If you are looking for some of the best cajun and creole cuisine in the area, look no further than RT's. They've been around for ages and I was introduced to RT's by a friend. I think of it as a hidden gem and this was my second time dining here. Today I ordered the Jack Daniel's shrimp and crabmeat appetizer and a salad which was a perfect lunch. Previously I ordered the shrimp and crabmeat etouffe and was equally pleased. Portions are well-prepared and generous. Service was attentive and we weren't rushed at all. I'll definitely return and look forward to trying some new dishes.
