Cafe 44 - Alexandria

This place is a hidden gem for sure, away from all the fast pace of the DC food scene. Here you can have a quiet brunch or lunch on a rooftop with amazing views. It's not too far out of the city. I've biked past here a few times. That's actually how I found cafe 44. The vibes are great and the service is great, the food was decent.

Cafe 44 is the true definition of a hidden treasure. Seriously, this restaurant is awesome. The food is delicious and flavorful. The staff are extremely polite and experienced. But what sets Cafe 44 apart from the others is the stunning view! You can enjoy a well crafted drink while enjoying the city skyline of Washington, DC to the bright lights of the National Harbor. Excellent for date nights!

Tried the prix-fixe menus both times. The shrimp and grits are really decent. Bottomless mimosas are solid. The bread pudding French toasts were good but really sweet. The waiter could?ve been more attentive the second time around. The ambiance is cute and has a couple of places to take some nice pics.

Phenomenal service, great layout, and amazing bites. Service here was inviting, we were served by Hannah and she was full of smiles, great recommendations, and personality.

Preparation matters here, the dishes are well balanced in flavor profile and they

Great atmosphere, food and view. Enjoyed lunch with our son while visiting him and his beautiful family. Husband had meatballs and beer, son had grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup. I had lobster bisque and Caesar Salad. Also ordered the crab dip appetizer! Drinks were very good and our server was excellent and very attentive. I'd rate it three stars price wise, not the two indicated. I'd say it was well worth the visit for lunch.
