We ended up purchasing the black truffle four small bottle collection, California garlic and the garlic Parmesan then I added the seafood seasoning. The gentleman working was very helpful and nice.

Second best sandwiches I have ever had, but best on the East coast…read more I'm in Arlington on business from the West Coast and was looking for a quick lunch spot when I stumbled into this little hidden gem. I've eaten at plenty of delis over the years, but Eddie's Little Shop completely surprised me with flavors I've genuinely never tasted before. The sandwiches here are incredibly unique, creative combinations that just explode with flavor in ways I wasn't expecting. What really stood out were the huge, fresh chunks of real mozzarella, paired with their homemade-style dressings, sauces, and condiments. It's easily one of the best sandwiches I've ever had, and I've tried a lot. The portions are generous, the bread is spot-on. I'll definitely be back before my trip ends. If you're in Arlington, do not miss Eddie's Little Shop Deli. Highly, highly recommended!

Beautiful art works which I believe she said it's an art gallery upstairs sometimes I'll have to recheck that. everything was neatly placed, they have Wine tastings, it's pretty cool and a chill vibe here.

Let this review be a reminder to Call Your Mother!…read more Call Your Mother started as a neighborhood bagel shop in DC in 2018 and has expanded to several locations, including this Old Town spot and I hear that one will be opening in Wicker Park, my Chicago peeps (if it hasn't opened already). My go-to of a toasted sesame bagel was just perfect, along with the garlic-herb cream cheese. My friend had a gleneagle bagel with candied salmon cream cheese and enjoyed it -- but it was stuffed and overflowing and a little hard to eat. This place is just so charmingly decorated, with friendly people, and nice portions of good deli food. It was also quite crowded (and we went early). Your mom will be happy to know that you're eating well. Call Your Mother!

Unfortunately, whoever the individual was on shift today was just a total piss poor person - she seemed to have an issue with our party, as she automatically assumed we just came there to 'squat' without ordering anything (if you have been to this place before, there isn't much seating and this isn't where you'd want to sit for a bit anyway); when I called her out and stated that I already knew our party's orders, she backtracked. She then continued to make a snide comment on the number of drinks we were ordering - what's with the passive aggressiveness? I didn't know that there was some rule that each person was required to order something. Like, are you okay? I just had a bad feeling about all of this, and we should have just walked out instead of giving our money to support this business - to add to it all, the coffees that we did receive (latte with soy milk, and the mocha) were just poorly made and not strong at all; they were both watered down and bitter at the same time... come on! UGH, the regret, but it was a choice. Shame on you, Via Volcán! You might want to heavily reconsider who you employ and train them better - this individual is really hurting your business! What a miserable person. Street parking can be found in the area. +NASTY employee +watered down/bitter coffee +street parking in the area

Le Vintage is a wine shop that opened in Alexandria, Virginia in February 2022. It was founded by…read moreBenjamin Kuna. A trained sommelier, Kuna curated the wine program at La Fromagerie Cheese & Wine Bistro for a number of years and eventually became the general manager. He later worked as a sommelier at other area establishments like Planet Wine and Evening Star Cafe. When the storefront next to La Fromagerie became available, Kuna decided to make it his own wine shop. Kuna's mission is to make the entire world of wine accessible to everyone while supporting growers who are engaged in ethically and ecologically responsible farming and business practices. Fellow sommelier Michael Williams works as the general manager of Le Vintage, while La Fromagerie owner and chef Sebastien Tavel came on board as a partner. I recently visited Le Vintage while my family and I were on a short vacation in the DC area. Upon returning to our hotel after a long day of sight-seeing, my wife said, "I can really go for a good bottle of wine after we put the kids to bed." We checked on Yelp and lo and behold we discovered that Le Vintage was right down the street from our hotel. I walked a few blocks down and made it to the small shop. They had an excellent selection of wines as well as an impressive selection of craft beer. The shop also carries artisanal meats, cheeses and crackers for customers to assemble their own charcuterie as an accompaniment for their wine. I picked out a nice-looking bottle of Italian Rosato Frizzante to bring back for my wife and I to share. The employees also invited me to participate in a tasting that was happening in the shop (Le Vintage frequently holds tastings). Slovenian winemaker Bojan Kobal was sampling offerings from his winery Kobal Wine Estate. My wife and I really liked the wine that I brought back to the hotel. We were so impressed with the shop that I went back on our last night in town and purchased one of the Kobal wines that I had previously sampled (a sparkling yellow muscat), as well as some charcuterie items. Le Vintage is a fantastic wine shop and we'll definitely visit again the next time we're in Alexandria!

My go-to ice cream place in the summer…read more I love the old-school vibe. They focus more on ice cream-themed desserts than a traditional 'pick one of our 20 flavors' kind of deal. But since I tend to get the ice cream apple pie most of the time, I obviously have no issues with that. The price is reasonable too. One small thing is this is cash only.

I had the cookie sundae, which was the perfect size and tasted like Biscoff. My friends had the Jitterbug shake and the seasonal cake sundae which was a Peach cobbler. The Peach cobbler sundae looked like it came on a fried donut and had incredible flavor. It is a small menu and like others have said, there is no indoor seating, but it's a charming spot for sure.

Every Italian g-ma is throwing signs at the cook and spitting curses. Where to start? Matzo ball soup. Narry a veg in liquid that could brine a turkey. The matzo balls were smaller than a golfball and hard enough to be used as such. My blood pressure spiked just tasting this and I'm in need of a statin to lower it before I have a coronary. Brisket. Who uses sweetness to hide shoe leather. Balducci's does. Save the gravy for pasta. Not used in cooking a $20/pound meat. Dry as the desert Moses crossed over. Bland as sand. No seasonings. Not sure what they did to decide that carrots and sweet potatoes should be as sweet as Christmas cookies, but they did. Not sure what decision was made to add this to the order. Shameful use of prop veggies. Potato pancakes. Um, not sure where the potato pissed the cook off, but this cook must be the one who made the soup. Rock hard. No seasoning. And the size of a fidget spinner. And could have been used to try and allow my blood pressure to lower from all the salt. I wouldn't walk back into this establishment. Someone who thought it was ok to serve this food at all, without tasting it, should be sent home without dessert. Where was the thinking to even offer this service to your Mediterranean cousins without any quality control, is shameful for the owners, managers, and boiata cooks would charge nearly $500 dollars for this crap. Where can we get a refund?
