"Rustico Alexandria is normally a pleasant place to eat and enjoy craft beer. But on this particular occasion it was slammed with customers, perhaps due to the Cajun food special that evening. As a result, service was way below par. I had to flag down a server to get eating utensils, then another to get napkins. Same thing to get a beer. The Cajun food special one menu item was OK but not great. (Having lived in New Orleans for several years, I had expectations that were perhaps too high. The beers on offer were acutely disappointing 7 IPAs and a coffee stout . Apparently that 's all the brewery knows how to make. I am indifferent to IPA 's a fad style that will hopefully fade away soon. So I had to order off the restaurant 's regular beer menu, which is extensive and wonderful, and alone worth a visit. My overall takeaway from the evening is that the restaurant should train its staff better on surge procedures for busy times. And in general not let the tail (the featured brewery wag the dog (the menu items ."

The restaurant has a pleasant ambiance and serves delicious food like pizza, brussel sprouts, French fries, and calamari. The staff is friendly and provides quick service.

Reservation made for a Friday night, but when we arrived, there was no table available. Sat at the bar. Wife's steak came out undercooked and rare. Soda was flat, chicken sandwich was cold and tasteless. Waiter was inattentive. Good pizza though.

"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."

"My friends and I went to Cheesetique for restaurant week. We sat outside. The space was great, the weather was great. Upon arrival, it took a server about 15 minutes to come to our table, and that was only after a friend went inside to ask for someone to service us. The server who had served our friends, who had arrived 10 minutes prior, was bartending. We ordered our drinks and food at the same time. The drinks came out relatively soon after. The food took a normal amount of time to come out of the kitchen. We got the watermelon, quinoa salad and truffle balls as apps. There was no dressing with the salad, just spinach leaves, watermelon, and quinoa. It was very basic. The truffle balls, although good, were balls of cheese. They gave huge cheese balls but only 3 tiny pieces of bread. We ordered a Mac and cheese for the table which was not salted very well at all. For the main course, we ordered gnocchi, pot pie, and braised beef. The beef and mashed potatoes were the best. The pot poe and gnocchi were not nearly salted enough. All the food came out 'warm ' at best. Dessert was fine. Overall, not at all worth the amount we paid for restaurant week. We were left disappointed. The service was slow. I do understand they might have been short staffed, but even waitresses who were not our servers looked as us, after being there for 15 min and walked past. We asked someone to get us water, which was never brought to us, so overall, disappointed in our dining experience, considering how much we paid."
