Omg so many thoughts on this experience…read more I'm so glad i didn't immediately know it was a restaurant located in a hotel. This prob would have deterred me, even a little bit. The Apple map directions here confused me a little due to this, but parking was really plentiful so that's a huge plus! I went on a Sunday morning and lo and behold there was a hole farmers market or pop up set up all through haymarket! Busy weekend for a brunch but haymarket is SUCH a cute little vibe and town with so many hidden gems, like this one!! Literally every single item I saw waiters bring out from the kitchen looked so scrumptious, every person around us immediately began digging in and enjoying their meals...and honestly, no crumbs were left behind pretty much every time. We started ordering a yummy cocktail. I was really in the mood for the Paloma with grapefruit juice but sadly they were out of grapefruit juice fortunately, they had plenty cocktails available that were not explicitly on the menu! I ended up having a delicious espresso martini, prepared, right and honestly, I would have had another!! Not too sweet. Not creamy. And with 3 beans. Impeccable no notes. I ordered the red House breakfast. Man those home potatoes were so delicious....they clearly cooked them seasoned deliciously and then flash fried, so crunchy!!!! Amazing. I found that their execution on their meals was really impressive. My sunny side up eggs were cooked perfectly and paired so yummy with the toast. The bacon had delicious flavor too. I ordered a biscuit because I had heard that their biscuits were really yummy but unfortunately they did not have their bacon biscuit so it was just a classic biscuit. It was good, certainly dense and clearly homemade. My girlfriend got the poutine. Looked so delicious and was really enjoyed! The gravy was thick and flavorful! We sat down and enjoyed plenty of conversation and a really nice environment. Nobody rushed us, service was just the right amount of attentive without interrupting conversation constantly, and the floor to ceiling windows let in beautiful natural light and views of the town. It was the perfect brunch spot for a low-key, but delicious meal. Just a hair out of the way without being too far. I came out with a really good friend of mine to celebrate my one year wedding anniversary with her and it was the perfect possible location. Shout out to the staff for being so welcoming and kind, and even taking a picture of us when we asked to commemorate the occasion. I'm sure they are used to people walking in to the hotel lobby looking as confused as I was looking for red House Tavern.

Not the best experience for brunch. The waitress was unenthusiastic and came back to the table…read moremultiple times to let us know they were out of items including: the juice that came with the mimosa flight after we ordered it, another bottle of champagne for anyone else who wanted mimosas, (so mimosas overall, lol), the avocado toast, the poutine and another key ingredient in a cocktail we ordered. The food was average at best when it came out. Super disappointed. We came here for my mom's 5 year beating cancer anniversary and it wasn't much of a celebration.

Omg ok let me organize my thoughts because this brunch experience blew my mind!!!…read more I live fairly close to two silos, and I always really enjoy my time there. I have been there several times before they started expanding and I remember seeing the signs go up and the excitement of what would come next. Fast forward several months maybe even a year and my friend suggested we go to brunch at this new spot called proof kitchen. It didn't occur to me until yelping that this was one of the new additions to the two silos (villagio group) kingdom! The second I found out that I would get the chance to finally try out this spot. Any other options that were on the table were immediately thrown out and we decided to go here. The menu looked really impressive and let me tell you the menu itself was not nearly as impressive as what was presented to us when we ordered, and our food arrived. It was really hard to pick an option... I was really impressed because quite a few of the options I've never even heard of before or thought of. For example, the crab Rangoon dip was so great. Just the right amount of sweetness and a bunch of lump crab meat. I love how they want above and beyond, even just with the wonton chips. The server was incredible and he brought over more chips for us without us even asking, and I don't recall any additional surcharge. We were here to celebrate my girlfriend's upcoming wedding and got to open her save the dates! The brunch was perfect. The grill time was lovely and the food was spectacular. The beverages were really delicious too! My friend ordered a flatbread that came with eggs. My other friend ordered the pancake with the berries that I almost ordered. When her pancake came out, we were all absolutely floored at the presentation! Firstly, the pancake was extremely thin, full of flavor and covered in delicious fresh berries. It took up the whole plate!! fortunately, I didn't also order that because I ended up being able to eat several bites of it to help my friend finish her meal. Portion sizes are very generous!! which we love in this economy... we also ordered the fry trio, which was so elevated in the most simple and flavorful way you absolutely must order this. I ended up just ordering the side of mac & cheese that was really gooey and flavorful which to me are the two main components of a good mac & cheese. Overall, we all agreed that we must come back. The food was lovely service was truly top-notch and the restaurant itself was beautiful New and modern. It was cool to be able to walk through and then also check out the distillery next-door and the merch!

This adventitious find popped up on my way out of the city. In general, the outer suburbs are…read morebetter for Chinese food than DC itself, so I gave them a shot. My takeout was ready in timely fashion, and there was definitely some quality there. My kung pao tofu was a little sweet as the dish normally is, but also amply spicy as I requested and came with plenty of peanuts, extra-crispy tofu, and a few other vegetables. Lo mein was a fairly straightforward soy-garlic affair, though I must say I appreciated the option to add some tofu to that as well. My spring rolls came sauceless and were fairly basic and cabbage-y, but a decent way to round out a meal. I appreciated their thorough vegetarian labeling; of course some things were not available to me that I wish they would make vegetarian, but the most important thing is being able to make informed decisions. I skipped the ma po tofu this time, but they claim it offers genuine numbing sensations and they did enough to convince me that it might be worth coming back to try.

It is a nice quiet, hidden speak easy with great vibes. The service was impeccable. The bartender was very friendly and attentive. She gave great suggestions for drinks. We decided on a sour. Which was whisky, lemon, and honey. It was perfectly mixed and served. I also tried the Toki Highball which was excellent. It was rich in flavor and not too strong. If you are really into Whisky King's Ransom needs to be on your list to visit. Unfortunately, we did not order food but the couple next to us ordered the pizza and fries and it looked delicious. The ambiance was great. Its a little upscale with dark lighting. The raised bar and lighting add to the unique experience. This bar is great for date night or just a night out with friends in Alexandria, Va. If you are in the area check it out...you won't be disappointed. Cheers!

My friend and I were looking for a quick bar to slip into around 10-11 PM and stumbled across this…read morespot. It's not too far from the waterfront, so it made for a nice walk after gelato. At first, you'll see what looks like just a pizza shop -- but if you head in and either use the side door or walk through and climb a set of stairs, you'll find the speakeasy upstairs. Very cool vibe: dark, cozy, and date-night ready. Drinks: 4/5 I ordered their take on an Old Fashioned, and it was definitely the highlight of the night but sweeter than I would have liked. They served it over a stamped solid block of ice (a small detail I ). My friend was abstaining from alcohol that night and asked for a non-alcoholic cocktail. To our surprise, they didn't just hand her a lemonade like most places -- they actually made her a crafted virgin drink, which she loved. Food: 3/5 We ordered fries and a slice of pepperoni pizza. The fries turned out to be waffle fries (not mentioned on the menu) and were overly crispy, so not really our favorite. The pizza was fine -- clearly sourced from the shop downstairs -- but it leaned oily and didn't really wow us. Service: 5/5 Pretty standard -- nothing over the top, but not neglectful either. Drinks came out reasonably fast, food followed, and we were checked on enough without it feeling pushy. Vibes: 4/5 The speakeasy itself is definitely the selling point. Dark, intimate, and stylish -- you feel like you've found a little hidden spot. All in all, the cocktails are the reason to come, especially if you're into whiskey. The food was forgettable, but it's convenient that you can order pizza upstairs. We spent about $30-40 for drinks and snacks, which isn't shocking for Old Town. Would I go back? Maybe if I was already in the area, but for a dedicated whiskey night, I'd probably head somewhere else.

The owner is a little grumpy though and we've heard he stresses when it's busy, but they deserve to be busy. If the divey atmosphere doesn't bother you, but you enjoy excellent food, then, please, check them out. This is our favorite place to have a bit of a date night throughout the week. This prices are incredibly reasonable and fairly cheap for the area and considering how good the food and atmosphere is for our silly selves, we are starting to visit quite often. I prefer food to service because I'm paying to satisfy my appetite not my ego.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was unacceptable…read more From the moment we walked in, the owner, who was also serving/bartending at the time, was incredibly rude and unwelcoming. My friend ordered the steak and cheese egg rolls, which were listed on the restaurant's online menu. Instead, a steak and cheese sandwich was brought out. When my friend politely explained that this wasn't what she ordered, the owner yelled, "We don't have steak and cheese egg rolls." She pointed out that they were listed on the online menu, and rather than simply explaining that the menu might be outdated or apologizing for the confusion, he became even more aggressive and yelled that he "didn't have an online menu." The situation was completely unnecessary and could have been resolved with a simple, polite explanation. Instead, we were yelled at, treated disrespectfully, and ultimately kicked out. Mistakes happen. Menus can be outdated, items can become unavailable, and orders can get mixed up--we understand that. What we don't understand is treating customers with hostility over a simple menu discrepancy. We came in expecting to have a meal and left shocked by how we were treated. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this restaurant. Customer service and basic respect should not be too much to expect.
