Best Fun Restaurants in Newington

Celebrated my birthday with my husband and adult daughter at Mia’s for brunch today. Mia’s never disappoints! Fabulous fresh food, excellent service by Ricardo, and bonus tiramisu with a lighted birthday candle. Sunday brunch is an amazing small plates-shared entrees way to truly experience their broad menu. The Sunday Salad is delicious as are the freshly-made pastas with seafood, like Shrimp Fra Diavolo and linguine and clams. Small pizzas with feta and Kalamata olives and a rainbow offering of crisp salads with exquisite dressings are perfect for vegetarians. Highly recommend reservations for this outstanding Sunday brunch in Old Town Alexandria.

Palette 22 is now our go-to restaurant. Each dish is well-prepared, flavorful, and represents the country of origin. The service is always polite and responsive. Tip: you can order a few dishes at a time. You do not need to place your entire order at one time. This allows you to enjoy each dish more slowly. We like taking turns ordering 2 items at a time. From last night, my top picks were the Sesane Steak, Lebanese Tacos, and the Funghi Flat Bread.

we had an afternoon date experiencing the Coffee flights. It was great. Service is great. The experience was great. It was awesome to try new ways of experiencing coffee.

We had a large party with separate checks and our waitress was great. I definitely recommend for large groups.

Slow service but food was good. Space was quiet. One meal came out 10 minutes later than the rest.
