The owners were very kind, friendly, and attentive! There were a couple of tables inside, so we chose to dine in. Everything tasted fresh, not at all salty, and prepared with care and love. I'd love to try out their lunch specials and other chef specialty entrees on the next visit.

I'm not usually an oyster fan, but my associate highly recommended that I try the grilled oysters…read more I have to admit -- they did not disappoint. My associate also loved the tacos. He barely seemed to take a breath between bites. The star of the show, though... the fish and chips. Baby, YUM. They complemented each other perfectly -- the chips were fried to perfection, and so was the fish. The spiked hot chocolate was okay, but I'm weird about eating hot food and drinking a hot beverage at the same time. My Arnold Palmer was mid. The bread pudding was good, though I should have ordered the compote on the side. It slightly overpowered the dish. Sadly, I'm told this was one of their last days open. Cheers to the staff, and best of luck to them. I definitely would have come back for the fish and chips.

We tried the coconut shrimp (which were large and tasty), $2 oysters, fish and chips, calamari, mussels. Drinks were $2 off during happy hour, and the cosmo was delicious. We also ordered the lobster roll and the lobster grilled cheese, which unfortunately were just eh. The crab bisque was creamy and filling. Shoutout to our waitress, Shelly who was amazing, super friendly, helpful with recommendations, and very attentive. The inside of the restaurant is very clean, modern, and well kept. Parking is limited because of the area, but I was able to find street parking and pay for two hours. Overall, it's definitely worth checking out for happy hour, especially for the oysters, drinks, and great service.

It looked good. - Brussels had just hint of sweet, I actually wanted them to have a little more, but they were good and crunchy. - Shrimp was piping hot, I almost burned my mouth! Not overly seasoned (I didn't use the sauce) and maybe grilled a little too hard and a bit dry, I had to chew for a while. But I ate it with the crab cake and it was good. - Mac and cheese wasn't overly seasoned either but sufficient. Some might say it needs something, maybe salt, but I was ok. Pretty good cheese pull. - Crab cake was also pretty hot, and yummy. I did try it with the sauce, but it tasted mayonnaise based and I don't usually add sauces. I prefer the food to be seasoned on its own, so I just ate it with the shrimp. - There were a few people at the bar when I arrived and two people in the dining area who left by the time I sat down. You can see from others' pictures how small the inside is, so I found it odd that the server sat a couple that arrived about 15 minutes later right next to me (booth and chair seating). I get having sections, but that seemed a little close to me. The next couple that arrived was sat a couple of tables away, similar booth/chair seating. - Soft R&B from an artist I wasn't familiar with was playing. Then some reggae. It was loud but not obnoxiously so. I enjoyed the vibe. - I chuckled when about 3/4 through my meal then busboy brought a to go container. I shook my head that I didn't need it. This girl can eat! LOL. - Docked one star because the menu said to add shrimp to the Stacker was $4, but the check said $6. I'm not crying over $2 but it's more about accuracy. Also, they add an 18% service fee. Not sure why establishments do this; I would have left 20% on my own. - Overall I was happy with my visit and the food. Casual with elevated prices. Not the perfect meal, but good enough.

It's a nice looking restaurant though it has a bit of an old, historic feel to it. The restrooms are upstairs and very small. One stall in the ladies' room didn't have any purse hooks which was a tad annoying (they were broken). Ordered the crab cakes, which came with a heaping serving of french fries. Every entree also came with either champagne or strawberries and cream. The cream was thick and delicious. The crab cakes were dry, unfortunately. Maybe it's partly because there was no filler, which is a good thing, but I wished they were more moist. And the fries had a crispy batter, which are not my favorite. Lastly, I wished the meal came with a vegetable of some sort. And I didn't see any sides to order from, and no veggies for apps. The meal was a bit disappointing, especially for the price point (which is different on the menu than what's on their website). My party was seated by the window but the internet still didn't work well. Had to request the wifi password. I didn't realize I had been here once before, for Mother's Day. But after this meal, I don't think I need to return.

The waiter asked if I wanted to add an additional shrimp to the order, which I agreed to. The shrimp cocktail was nothing short of a rip off, $20 for 4 medium sized shrimp that weren't properly cleaned and not fully chilled; absolutely ridiculous. The oysters were very nice, fresh and only a bit briny, would order those again. For dinner, we ordered the salmon and the sea bass. The fish were both cooked perfectly. Both the sauteed spinach served with the salmon and the black rice served with the sea bass were beyond salty -- actually inedible. Service throughout the meal was fine but we found ourselves abandonded at the end. The server for our table, and those around us was gone for a long period and even the tables around us noticed his absence. We skipped desert. The check, including 1 glass of wine, and 1 coke, came to $140. I'm sorry, this wasn't even close to worth that much money. Perhaps the Wharf was just having an off night, but my impression is that this is a tired restaurant, trading mostly on its excellent location, that has given up on the concept of repeat business.

But the chef's kiss of the night was the ravioli. Everything about it was superb -- rich, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. That was definitely the standout for me. We enjoyed a few local beers and were completely stuffed by the time we were done. The ambiance was great, service was friendly and attentive, everything felt very clean, and the building had that historic Old Town feel we were hoping for. They had sport's playing, music going, and just an all-around fun atmosphere. Definitely a great spot to share dishes, try something different, enjoy a few drinks, and soak up the Alexandria vibe. We'd absolutely come back!

Del Ray Café has such a warm, welcoming feel, which makes sense once you learn the building itself is a lovingly restored 1925 Del Ray house. It gives the whole place a real "home away from home" charm rather than the usual restaurant vibe. The food was excellent -- you can tell they take the French country cuisine and fresh, local ingredients seriously. It's clearly a family-run operation, and that care comes through in both the cooking and the service. One heads-up for fellow diners: parking can be a challenge. There's a small lot in the rear, but it only fits a handful of cars, so be prepared to look for street parking if you're visiting during a busy brunch stretch. Worth the extra few minutes of circling, though -- we'll definitely be back.
