A busy time at the restaurant serving on Thanksgiving. Still they make the effort to individually welcome their guests. Service might have been slow at times but who wants to rush a holiday dinner. Raw oyster appetizer was outstanding. Not a lot one can do to make a traditional turkey dinner over the top. All was very good, wished the green beans were cooked longer but that’s the way French influenced restaurants like to prepare them.

We were in town for a long weekend and found the Wharf online. A great atmosphere and the food was… AMAZING! We could not go wrong - the crab cake, seafood special, lobster ravioli, and succotash were all so good, and the price wasn’t bad either. Staff was very sweet and brought out cheesecake for our Anniversary as well! Highly recommend if you’re in Alexandria.

Pleasantly surprised! Wanted to go because of the historical aspect but was expecting more of a tourist experience with mediocre food. What we discovered was a unique experience, friendly service, fun atmosphere and incredibly good food! Can’t believe I have lived here this long and not been before. I’ll be back and will be bringing others! Thank you!
