Best Cajun Restaurants in Rosslyn

Fantastic food, but servers were over stretched and service was poor. Hope they beef up service. To complement the great food

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC Dining Experience!! We came to celebrate my mother's 87th birthday. They had a lovely sign waiting at our table when we arrived that said, " Happy Birthday from Miss Toya's" . The service is impeccable!! Our waiter, Chris, was EXTRAORDINARY! He's professional, kind, attentive and has the BEST sincerest personality. The manager even did his rounds going from table to table to assess our dining experience. He was also quite comical as well. The ambiance was great with really good music playing. The decor is lovely. Now, let's get to the food. . . AMAZING!!! Everything that we ordered was DELISH and we are CREOLE straight from Louisiana so, we really know good Creole cooking and they did not skip a beat. The stuffed shrimp with the succotash were divine, the wings were great and the fried catfish was impeccably cooked. We wanted to order more but wanted to save room for dessert. Unfortunately, because it's a Monday, their dessert menu was limited due to weekend brunch probably selling up everything but we decided to try the Peach Cobbler with Ice Cream and it did NOT disappoint. Let me just say that I live in Chicago and it's been extremely hard to find REALLY good food here in the DMV. Miss Toya's is gonna get my business each and EVERY time that I return to the DMV to visit. Thanks Miss Toya's for a WONDERFUL dining experience!!

Stumbled in for a last minute resy and were pleasantly surprised to see jazz brunch. Sat by the musicians but still able to converse and it added so much to the atmosphere. We loved everything about it. Also the bread basket was diverse and delicious. We ate through two of them. Next time hoping we can stay for the beignets and espresso martinis. Also need to grab a spot at that beautiful ornate bar.

Pearl Dive Oyster Palace is a great seafood spot in DC! They had a selection of 6 different oysters to choose from and had an extensive menu of other seafood options. I do think the price of the oysters were somewhat expensive ($3.40 per oyster), but would be a good option for a happy hour after work sitting at the bar. Overall, I loved the ambience, food, and service. Great drinks, too!! I got the espresso martini and it was lovely.

I have enjoyed numerous meals at RT’s and they are consistently of high-quality. RT’s has superior service, a wonderful ambience, soft music in the background so you don’t have to raise your voice and exhaust yourself speaking. The restaurant is always festively decorated for every season/holiday of the year. It’s clear that the managers/owners take extraordinary pride in and care of their restaurant. Last but not least, the food is exceptionally delicious and well-presented every time! And while you might just drive past this wonderful restaurant on Mount Vernon Ave. in Alexandria, without noticing, it is truly a gem. It deserves a few Michelin stars.
