There was a little wait, but nothing long at all and definitely no complaints. My sister and I both ordered the steak and eggs, which came with potatoes and chimichurri sauce, and everything was absolutely delicious! The steak was flavorful, the entire meal was really good, and I would definitely order it again. For my toddler, we ordered the kids' waffle with fruit. My only small suggestion would be to offer a protein option with the kids' meal to make it a little more complete. It wasn't a big issue for us since I was able to share some of my food with him. The service was wonderful! Our server was quick, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant itself is such a cute little spot with a nice atmosphere. Overall, great food, great service, and a really enjoyable brunch. I would definitely come back again!

This place was equally lively but we had already gotten there so we stayed. But the maître d' was super unorganized and chaotic. We don't have a reservation and was told to check the bar which was also full. The problem was because we had to wait first come first serve at the bar we were basically standing around the hallway and throuways where wait staff was delivering food. When we moved to be out of the way, someone else slipped into the spots. Another younger maître d' stepped in and finally took my name on the waitlist vs the first one didn't even ask if I would put my name down. Shortly after they seated us at a table right next to the door where people were coming in and waiting for the tables. Overall the wait and seating experience was chaotic and uncomfortar. When the food came, the delivery boy slipped my fiancée's has brown onto the table. He was apologetic and got us more from the kitchen. However when the bill came, they had charged us for a side. Which we had to correct if we had not looked at the bill and just blindly paid. In my mind, either the waiter should have asked us if we ordered something extra with someone else or check with his coworkers . The food wasn't bad but to be honest I was thinking about all that happened to enjoy the food. Might not come back

The roasting and seasoning were impeccable. I absolutely loved this dish. 9/10 -- Black Brioche Mini Loaf Fluffy and satisfying, with a subtle sweetness. It paired perfectly with the accompanying orange butter, which added a lovely fruity note. 8/10 -- Coal-Grilled Vegetables The vegetables were incredibly velvety and flavorful, topped with cheese. I ate every last bite. Every dish was excellent. Dinner came to $88 per person after tax and tip. Considering the waterfront view and the quality of the food, I thought it was fairly priced. The service was good--nothing spectacular, but perfectly fine.

I would have loved to be seated next the the staircase because it has some nice sight lines. The restaurant is so clean and nicely decorated as if you stepped into a homey yet lux cabin restaurant. It just feels....comforting. There were a lot of people dining here but the noise level was surprisingly minimal. The service is impeccable. Every waiter was attentive. Someone even asked us if we wanted another drink when our glasses were full. Never in my life has that happen to me. Lol The server was very knowledgeable about everything and left me to decided between all the wonderful options they offer. And they have OPTIONS. I heard the steak is banging. I'll be back... Now let's talk about these Ozzie dinner rolls. Bomb! End of story. And in my Nike voice....Just do it. In other words stuff your face and get some to go. I got blessed with 2 baskests and a bag to go. Won't he do it. My son enjoyed his little Mac aka his burger and fries but was too full to finish the fries because he stuff his face with Ozzie dinner rolls. So be careful yall. You have been warned. I orderer the pecan trout which was a very interesting take on baked fish and yet it was still good. I'm not raving about it. But it was good. Nice thing is they give you to pieces of trout 1 for now and 1 for later because yes I stuffed my face with those darn Ozzie rolls. Smh I had my eyes set on that deep dish apple pie and I shall return to try it and other menu items..like that banging steak. My leftovers hit the spot. I had enough for a whole lunch the next day. Saved me extra resources. Everything tasted even better the next day. Like the seasoning settled in and exploded into deliciousness. Peoples I say this with love...Don't come here because I don't want yall taking up all the free parking spaces available. Lol this is my new go to spot.

I'm usually not picky when it comes to drinks, but they just didn't quite do it for me. If The Majestic isn't already on your list, add it! Definitely worth a visit.

Haven't been to Chadwicks in a while, so it was nice to convene for a recent brunch to catch up with some friends. While there is limited outdoor seating, I prefer the upstairs since it's typically quieter, and the abundant windows naturally illuminate the space. The interior is also characterized by nautically themed decor, along with exposed brick walls and hardwood flooring. TBH, this is one of the better Brunch spots in Old Town. There brunch menu is extensive - https://static1.squarespace.com/static/68d065ce6d80726524c2bca9/t/6a3d8efe5e4fbd1439f0bc1a/1782419198238/Brunch.pdf - and has all of traditional breakfast offerings of pancakes, french toast, a variety of eggs, sausage/bacon/ham, etc. While there are also lunch type savory options such as sandwiches and chicken and pasta entrees, I opted for the classic biscuits and gravy. I don't normally eat this type of heavy carb heavy dish...but every now and then, it's not so bad. The plate arrived with two buttermilk biscuits, country bacon gravy, two sunny side up two eggs, and home fries. The gravy was nice and thick with pieces of sausage bits, but I found the biscuits on the dry side, rather than buttery and flaky. Eggs were prepared properly and had that satisfying "ooze" when the yolks were popped. Home fries tasted previously frozen and could've used a few more minutes in the fryer. Service was a bit slow as there was only one staff taking orders and delivering food. But he was friendly and would circle back around to check on our group frequently. Pair your meal with a few choices of cocktails (I ordered a $5 mimosa) and Chadwicks brunc h is a great way to spend a few hours on a Sunday afternoon. Be sure to inform your server ahead of time, if separate checks are desired. One brunch entree, one mimosa with tax and tip totalled to about $25.

Shoutout to my server Scott, hands down one of the best servers I've had in a while. Give that man a raise! He went over the specials, made great recommendations, and even pointed out the restroom without being asked, not sure that's ever happened to me before. When I couldn't decide between regular fries or duck fat fries, he brought out a small sample of each so I could choose. As for the burger, it was just as good as it smelled walking in. The birria sauce took it to another level of flavor. Didn't get pictures this time, but I'll be back and will update the post then. Highly recommend if you're in Old Town Alexandria.

Upon entering the restaurant, first impression was that it was clean compared to other sports bars. We reserved the private room which was comfortable. Usually when I frequent sports bars, I have a hard time finding something on the menu that I find appetizing. Well, not here! I've been a fan of mushrooms since childhood and so the mushroom ravioli stood out to me and it was delicious! It's a hefty portion if you add additional protein. Too bad I forgot my to-go container and noticed when I was nearly home :( I tried my friend's Fish & Chips which were equally delicious and perfectly crispy. I'll come back to get my own plate of Fish & Chips and French Onion Soup. The White Russian was especially well-done. They also had St. Patrick's Day specials and while I don't think I would try the Sparkling Shamrock in the future though enjoyed that they had fun options to try. I also am appreciative that there are a handful of non-alcoholic options for someone like me who gets easily flushed. This was my first non-alcoholic beer I've tried and am a fan. The restroom is a bit awkward; upon entering the women's restroom, there is only a single stall and not sure if there is a lock mechanism - anyone can enter and could enter the stall if you aren't holding the stall door restroom.

I'm so glad I ordered the sauce on the side because it ratcheted up the salt level to briny. Our server was adequate. The dining room is in a sort of weird U-shaped to me, but and spaced to serve.
