    Lavender bees knees and K&R old fashioned
    Richelle R.

    Stayed at the hotel attached to King & Rye and stopped in for a night cap. We sat at the bar and were served quickly. The lavender bees knees was delicious and the K&R old fashioned was good as well. We ordered the fried green tomatoes and were very happy with the dish. The tomatoes were crispy and the pimento cheese sauce to dip them in was amazing. I would definitely order these again. Service was fast and efficient and the bartender. made good recommendations.

    Deviled Eggs (4)
    Kasey Y.

    Stopped by King & Rye for a quick Sunday breakfast and left really satisfied. I had the Virginia Breakfast, the deviled eggs, and the cast iron cinnamon roll -- all were spot on. The Virginia Breakfast came with two eggs, crispy potatoes, sausage, and a biscuit -- hearty, classic, and exactly what I was craving. The deviled eggs were clearly made with care, nicely balanced and flavorful. And the cast iron cinnamon roll was the perfect little sweet treat to finish off the meal -- warm, gooey, and just the right size to share or enjoy solo. Service was quick, and the overall vibe was relaxed and easygoing -- ideal for a Sunday morning. Definitely a great spot for a well-made, no-fuss breakfast.

    Banana pudding...too much cream, not enough of everything else...tasted like it had been sitting.

    This place is a nice restaurant connected to a hotel. Ambiance is nice and romantic perfect for mandate or a quite family dinner. Food was mediocre with service that ehhh ok. Why the food was mediocre? Ehhh my daughter myself and my mom all ordered the shrimp and grits..I'm use to a butter creamy thick consistency type of grits...these grits were over taken by the sauce that the shrimp was in..not wha t was expecting. The drink I wanted they were out of mint..so no mint julep for me...went with another drink that was ok. There are plenty of other restaurants in the area you may want to try & skip this place along with their hefty prices with A'okay food.

    Blackened Strip Loin
    Barbara M.

    Very cute and classy place in Old Town. My party was sat very quickly and I immediately noticed how clean and beautiful everything is. This place is perfect for date night, girls night, or whenever you want to feel chic. The server answered all of our questions and checked on us often. I got the strip loin. The steak was cooked very well. The pea purée was left off of my plate. When I let the sever know, he bought some out in a small dish- like the metal dish thru bring condiments in. Honestly, the dish was better without the purée. I wish there was a full serving of veggies instead.

    Blackberry Cobbler
    Kamali F.

    I decided to try this place because they were participating in Restaurant Week and had an appealing looking menu. I was not expecting much because I didn't know anyone who'd ever been or heard anything about the food, but I was blown away. This is a hotel restaurant, so it's a little small, but has a nice charm and date night vibe. The service was pretty good, but the food was the star of the show. The skillet cornbread was the best over ever had! The blackened loin was simple, but delicious, the shrimp and grits were different but very good. I wasn't too much a fan of the blackberry cobbler, because the pie crust was tough and chewy and I pulled it completely off in one piece. The berries and ice cream together were great though.

    Simply delicious! I visited King & Rye during Restaurant Week and was not disappointed. The restaurant and atmosphere were clean and relaxing. The staff was pleasant too. The deviled eggs had a delightful hint of spice, the trout was perfect, the lima beans were equally as good and the crab rice was moist and very good as well. I would recommend this restaurant and will definitely be returning!

    The restaurant for the Alexandria Autograph Hotel is fairly basic. First the menu was a used, crumbled piece of paper. The hamburger was not seasoned. The brussel sprouts were growing in a sweet and sticky sauce. The Paloma has very little tequila and too much ginger beer. The service was nice and helpful.

    Cheeseburger
    Olivia S.

    Service was quick and friendly, but did not rush us. There was a restaurant week option. The table ordered squash soup, house salad, cheeseburger, steak, pimento cheese and biscuits. The espresso martini here is made with whiskey AND comes with a homemade marshmallow garnish. It was good food. The tater tots with the burger were cubes. Dessert is a must. Please enjoy my poor quality photos. The tables aren't stacked on one another so it is possible to hear everyone. It's a casual environment based on server and patron attire. Ambiance felt like a hotel restaurant which it is.

    Deviled eggs
    Chantel W.

    I wasn't feeling well due to a car ride. We are staying at this hotel and needed a dinner spot. I am SO grateful that King & Rye was attached and right downstairs. It was phenomenal. Redone was our server i asked for recommendations and he was so pleasant. We had the deviled eggs and the mussels. The deviled eggs were good but those mussels were amazing and out of this world. Then we opted for the sirloin and man...It was perfect. The seasoning was perfect and cooled at the perfect medium rare. I shared...i wish I hadn't I was so close to order just another steak. My husband got the pimento mac & cheese ,added crawfish. That was amazing. This restaurant, I highly recommend. Service was on point and ask for our server. He was so kind. Inside is comfy and inviting.

    Espresso Martini
    Alesia S.

    Attended the Pride Drag Brunch that was hosted here and had a great time. The food and drinks were great. We started with the create your own mimosa special, along with the cinnamon roll. I then ordered the breakfast biscuit and the espresso martini to finish. The service was great and the vibes were so positive. I would return for dinner service.

    Biscuit sandwich with potatoes
    Annette M.

    Really good place for brunch. The food and service are good. The biscuits are really amazing. The menu is small, but everything was really good.

    Candied Brussels sprouts
    Christina C.

    3.5/5 Visited during restaurant week on a weekday evening. Easy to make reservations via OpenTable and was quickly seated upon checking in. We were seated in the dining area near the kitchen and patio and the area was a little dark. Restaurant Week menu was $40 for appetizer/dessert and entree. I chose the deviled eggs for appetizer and pan seared trout for entree as well as Brussels sprouts. The food was very good with hefty portions. I really enjoyed the deviled eggs with the hint of spice as well as the candied Brussels sprouts. Food came out in a very timely manner on a busy evening. At the beginning of our dining experience our server was very helpful with recommendations however our server did not check on us much throughout the evening. Our food was brought by other team members as well as our bill. Great restaurant week deal for food portions and flavors. Nearby paid street parking $$

    Egg White Omelet
    Allie H.

    A really convenient brunch spot. This place is right in the middle of old town making it a nice stop on a weekend morning. Had a delicious cappuccino and egg white omelet. The star of the meal is the potatoes. They are super crispy and the seasoning is amazing.

Been here for about an hour now and not one of the 3 men behind the bar have checked on me once...but have offered the couple to my right a complimentary drink. Great views but mid cocktails, thus far, and disappointing service [sad face]

After checking in, we were quickly guided upstairs to a cozy, rounded booth--an intimate and perfect spot for two. Our server, Katie, was fantastic--attentive, knowledgeable, and refreshingly honest when helping us choose between dishes. We started with the deviled eggs and fried green tomatoes, paired with the Black Sheep Mule and a watermelon cocktail (wish I remembered the name!). For our mains, we ordered the short rib rigatoni and the steak bulgogi bowl. To finish, we shared the weekly dessert special: an Earl Grey tres leches. Everything was exactly what I hoped for and more. The starters were standout, the entrees were packed with flavor, and the overall aesthetic of the space was just beautiful. We'll definitely be back--next time for brunch!

It was also my first time at The Black Sheep but I had always heard wonderful things - all of which turned out to be true. The loft area is beautiful and overlooks the entire restaurant. Also when you reserve the loft, which holds up to 16 people, you order off the regular menu. I loved this as other places I checked into were much more restrictive with a higher minimum spend and fixed menus for groups larger than 8. We had 12 in our group. We started with a bunch of appetizers for the table and cocktails. Appetizers included the bacon tower, fried green tomatoes, hushpuppies, crispy chicken wings, and Mediterranean garlic shrimp. Dinner entreés were jambalaya pasta, the American wagyu burger, pulled short rib rigatoni and branzino almondine. There were zero complaints. We enjoyed EVERYTHING!! The bourbon butter cake with vanilla ice cream for dessert literally took me over the top. My belly was ready to burst :) Our waiter was attentive throughout the entire time and everything we ordered came out perfect. I must go back soon. It is a distance from where I live but there's so many things on the fabulous menu I want to try.

So is the Vegetarian platter and tasting menu, aushak, quroti, and turnovers. You cant go wrong with saffron rice or the rice with carrots and raisins. Enough reviews already mention the four dips and soft bread, a cross between middle eastern bread and focaccia. Non alcoholic drinks are not an after thought, the sour cherry rose lemonade is liked by kids, adults, and seniors. Service is warm and welcoming, the Rumi quotes on the walls and turkish lamps add to the ambience, parking is easy and aplenty. A few tips: 1. Go for the lunch menu if you are feeding a large group. It is cheaper. Or consider making the trek to where it all started, Afghan Bistro in Springfield. 2. Ask for the daily selection of cakes.

The pumpkin dumplings and pan fried veggie filled dumplings were great as well. I thought my salmon wrap and the chickpea side was ok. Interesting flavors for sure. As for the service, there was always someone filling up our waters and our waiter was very nice checking in every now and then. The only downside of the experience is at the end when the waiter was boxing up all the food for us. Very sweet that they do this but when boxing up my partners food, they only boxed up the rice and they got rid of the lamb that he was looking forward to eating more of later. So that was kind of a disappointment for us. I think if we go again, we would request to box our food ourselves since I'm not sure why they decided to get rid of all of his lamb.

The lights were dimmed, which gave the restaurant a cozy vibe I almost fell asleep lol. Since the restaurant is still fairly new, it wasn't too crowded, which made the experience even better. One thing I really liked was that the menu is chef-curated, so the dishes are served as-is and thoughtfully put together. You can really tell there's intention behind the flavors and presentation. For drinks, we ordered a smoked Old Fashioned and a chocolate martini for me, which was absolutely delicious. For appetizers, we tried the Wagyu sliders, and they were juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. For our entrées, my boyfriend ordered the lamb shank over mashed potatoes. The meat literally fell off the bone, and the mashed potatoes soaked up all the lamb juices, giving them so much flavor. I ordered the salmon with broccolini and added chimichurri and garlic butter sauce on top. I loved that they asked how I wanted my salmon cooked. I ordered mine medium well, and it came out perfect.
