"velvet and rye is the ultimate date night experience. the ambiente is amazing, elegant and aesthetically appealing. lena is broken, it looks like 3 parts and velvety and is roggen where they want to be for a heel and clutch at night. our server was very attentive and friendly. I enjoyed the blackberry rose colonies, which refresh together with a glass prosecco. As for eating, I was not impressed by the menu outside the pizza and even with the pizza, we ordered the meatball and a pfeffersalbe, both were just okay. the garlic parmesan wings were so good. even if the selection of foods was not the best, based on the ambiente and service, I will recommend all couples for a cute date night out."

"This place really helped me adjust. I later learned that people gravitate towards certain bars, and I found my favorites, especially those with live music like Birchmere, Black Cat, 9:30 Club, Lincoln, Capital One Arena, and even the now-closed O'Shaughnessy's and Rock & Roll Hotel. One of my most memorable experiences was running into Rory Sheridan on one of my first visits. He was launching his DC music campaign back then and was part of Loud Boyz. We chatted a few times, and I even caught up with some old classmates. Another highlight was when I heard about a “reunion” night before Thanksgiving, and I decided to crash it. There were moments where people could be unkind or I felt out of place, but I was given some guidance on where I would fit in better, without the unnecessary drama. Being in Old Town, I was familiar with nearby schools like West Potomac, Mount Vernon, and Bishop Ireton. During my visits, I would often take an Alexandria cab or use Metro Access, being discreet about my disability since I felt embarrassed at times. Being a regular meant navigating the tourist scene, and there were people who seemed territorial about the place, but I ended up doing quite well when I sold my house. Good times continued with events like watching RG3 play for the Redskins or meetups organized by JT. I enjoyed New Year’s celebrations and weekend outings. I also frequented other establishments like Flying Fish before it closed, and O'Shaughnessy's before I decided to stop drinking. This is a sports bar located near a bicycle shop, close to the Ben & Jerry's I used to work at, along with many other walkable bars for bar hopping, like Union Street Pub and Fish Market. It can be a great place to have fun, but with the good comes some downsides. Overall, I felt well-hosted and respected here, despite some things I was not initially aware of or didn’t want to uncover."

"this was a very private small area that they had to go through the bar to put themselves in the back, so it was a bit confusing. the service was really good. the appetizers were especially the cold smoked hamachi. I took a friend here for her birthday, I got the steak and she got the roasted chicken with fingering kartoffels when I came to eat and I was cut into my steak it was perfect, but the haw was raw so we had to send it back. all they did, it was again in many, so that the chicken burned on the outside and very dry on the inside, not juicy, tender or damp. it had no taste at all for such a high-quality restaurant that he would at least have seasoned. the overall experience was great, except the main course of my friends, not to be good at all."

"Half our party arrived early and it was so convenient to be able to grab a quick drink at the bar before the remainder of our friends arrived. The service was friendly and courteous, and the food arrived quickly and was delicious! Not ridiculously overpriced or anything either which was surprise for the neighborhood/area. This was my first time here and I will definitely be back!"

"We were late for our reservation, but Chuck's kindly held the table for us. Tableside Caesar salad was amazing. Our mains were bit of a wait, but before we could complain, our server apologized and they appeared shortly after. Amazing food and portions were well suited. Our steaks were perfectly done! Due to the small delay in our mains, manager sent over a sinful skor Sundae that although we were much too full for, we devoured. Excellent service and kudos to management for staying on top of service."
