This is my go-to spot in Alexandria…read more I am not baller enough to stay at the Hotel Bently but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. Actually, that isn't true. I actually stayed at the OG Holiday Inn across the street from the Hotel Bently and found this bar by happenstance. So there I was, at the Holiday Inn for work and the bar was closed. Apparently, the bartender didn't show up for work and although the manager said I could tend the bar for the night, I was not about to start a new job. She recommended the Mirror Bar, located in the basement of the Hotel Bently. After assurances that I wouldn't be murdered walking the block to the bar, I set off. The Mirror Bar reminds me of a classy joint from a bygone era. Yes, there are mirrors. No, it is not some sort of weird place. I mention that because when I told people I went to the mirror bar they looked at me as if I was some sort of perv and I want to set the record straight. Back to the review. This is a nice bar with a nice selection of bourbon. Weeknights are pretty dead but don't let that stop you. In addition to bar seating, there are tables along the wall with comfortable chairs. Comfortable chairs in a dark classy bar? Yes, please. Prices are pretty standard for a hotel bar. Will I be back? of course. If you see me there, say hi and buy me a bourbon.

Overall as expected. A lively spurts bar with a good menu and decent beer selection, though no N/A…read moreofferings as far as I can tell. Alligator bites and wings were tops. The red fish tacos also, better than expected. This place had a couple big parties going in and the service was still really good.

I have been here several times and never received bad service like I did the other night. Felicity…read morewas rude and I felt like she was unhappy to Service us. We ordered drinks from her and she pretty much slammed it on the counter. After that, she never came around to check on us to see if we wanted to order food. We wait for at least 10 to 15 minutes and had to get the attention of the hostess for us to order food. I saw her and Alexis other side of the bar chitchatting. She was standing there playing with her hair, brushing it out with her fingers which I think is inappropriate, especially in the food service area. Then another customer came in and sat next to us. when Felicity approached her, She introduced herself and the other server and was very polite to her. I really did not want to leave a tip, but the only reason why I did is because Alexis was very consistent polite and nice to us. She always came over to check on us to see if we needed anything.

My wife & I moved from the Alexandria area in 2000 - moving to Fort Worth Tx- where we still live…read more Several times a year we are back in the area visiting with our daughter & friends- When here we always eat lunch at the cottage- on this trip this is our second time here As expressed previously in my Yelp review the thing that is MOST impressive is that NOTHING- NOTHING- EVER CHANGES- Attorney Mike Small is always in his reserved table in the corner- Sherry- Linda-Angel - Traci Jo and all the other great folks are here- offering the SAME GREAT service- the shrimp soup- gumbo- salads- cornbread and OF COURSE the tomato -basil pie NEVER change- THANK GOODNESS No sense being redundant here but to say that this is one of the best lunch places in the country to eat would be truly a gross understatement- and this coming from folks that live in Fort Worth Texas where there are 100's of lunch dining places Alexandria is blessed to have The Cottage and we always show our appreciation by dining here everytime we are back!! On the yelp scale of 1-5 we give The Cottage a 7!! That simply means it is REALLY REALLY EXCEPTIONAL!! Dale & Linda Behan Fort Worth

Very casual atmosphere with hustling servers and kitchen. The muffuletta was good, thinner on the filling than some I've had but enjoyable on a large roll as required!

Had lunch here today. I ordered the hot wings and a coke since my time was limited. It took…read morelonger than I thought to get the wings(15 mins). They were fried naked, but I think they should add a batter to them, make them crunchy. I didn't like the hot sauce they used, it was missing something. Only 7 wing sections come in this order and the price for them was $15. It should be 10 wing sections and a choice of veggies or fries. My initial thought was to get the onion strings, should have went with my first mind.

I wanted a soul food lunch and came here. I was not disappointed. The dining room is spacious so…read moregreat for large groups and work lunches. I got the special of the day which was baked chicken with rice and gravy and two sides. They guy serving was super sweet to explain to me the ordering process and I had a great conversation with the woman in line before me who comes every week for the Wednesday special. For my sides, I chose the greens and mashed potatoes. Even though I got two starches, it was worth it because the mashed potatoes and gravy were worth having as a main dish! I loved the greens, too, especially since they had all the hot sauce and peppers and vinegar choices you could want. The chicken was fork tender and I left nothing on the plate. I love that they provide each guest a little wrapped package of cornbread and iced cake of the day, too. I will definitely be stopping at Pamela's any time I'm in town.

FOOD: There was very little selection to choose from. Based on our experience, we could tell the…read morefood didn't seem very fresh and may have been sitting out all day. We both felt really heavy afterward, and my mom even felt sick after eating there. It was just basic diner food and a bit overpriced for something you can get almost anywhere else. However, the cake that comes with the cornbread was my favorite part. SERVICE: The service was fine. It had more of a cafeteria-style vibe, so there isn't much to say about it. AMBIANCE: The inside felt very run down. The bar wasn't even finished and didn't look like it was ever used. Overall, it had a very hole-in-the-wall feel.

EXCELLENT food from appetizer, entrees, and dessert!!! Service was TOP NOTCH too!!! Our dining party of 3 each ordered different entrees (steak, tuna, and salmon) and shared a taste with each other, and all entrees were delicious. I'm sharing pictures of the salmon and tuna, but my teenage son ate his steak so fast that we didn't get a pic (LOL) and barely got a taste (LOL)!! Also sharing pic of the brownie dessert that topped off the night! Since our dining experience, we have been recommending this restaurant to family and friends and have plans to return again soon!

The chicken wasn't really shredded well and had huge chunks that had a lot of gristle in it. No seasoning on the chicken either.

I've heard great things about the potatoes so can't wait to try that next.

The only reason this restaurant earned 2 stars is because the service was excellent. Without that,…read moreit would've been a 1 star experience. The food itself tasted good, but the portion size was shockingly small for the price. I didn't order a kids' meal, yet the amount of food I received looked like one--and I'm someone who doesn't even eat a lot. I was still hungry afterward. I paid over $20 for this meal, and it simply wasn't worth it. I ate at two other restaurants this week, spent less than $20 at each, and the food there was far better and portions larger and absolutely worth every penny. ( I ordered the combination platter which consisted of catfish, shrimp and sweet potato fries.) I guess they were rationing food the evening I placed an order for pickup.
