This place has solid comfort food. Spicy chicken salad sandwich was fantastic but the surprise find…read morewas the potato cake (which is deep fried), so yummy! Cheesecake for dessert was a very large portion with a very thick graham cracker crust. Staff was very welcoming and attentive. Will be returning soon!

Pulled up to Ale's Kitchen on a Sunday morning, line out the door, so we took that as a good sign…read more Only waited ~20 mins, which wasn't bad at all. Super casual vibe, tables kinda close, and a random full bar for a place that closes at 3pm. But hey, it's 5 o'clock somewhere ‍ I had the Ranchero skillet: spicy, kinda chilaquiles vibes, with a tasty homemade salsa. 4/5, would get again. Hubs went with the chicken fried chicken breakfast: 5/5, he was impressed. Biscuits seemed homemade and were solid too. Grits were just...grits. 3/5. We also split a pancake -- fluffy, good, nothing crazy. 3.5/5. Friendly service, homestyle feel. Would definitely go back and recommend if you're in the area.

I've eaten there several times in recent months and each time we were greeted friendly hosts and…read moreservers. The food had always been exactly as I ordered and pleasing , not to mention a wide array of menu selections . The only item notable is seating for large groups In closing, I'm a fan and will continue eating there for my full breakfast feasts

Service was great. Food was delicious with several options. Not a greasy spoon menu. But the…read morebiggest plus was the delicious coffee. It was smooth. No aftertaste or weird taste. It looked like some Italian brand, and you could tell the difference. I had oatmeal and it was just right. I didn't even need to add milk but it also wasn't watery. The berries were fresh and had raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries. You don't often find good quality berries with all three types.

Hubby and I had dinner here tonight. Restaurant was good, nothing to scream home about. Didn't not…read morehave a bad odor at all (per a previous person's review), maybe it was an off day that day. Food came out quickly and hot! Hubby had some type of chicken with Italian sauce and spaghetti dish, thoroughly enjoyed it. They made me a veggie pasta with pink sauce....delish!!! The bread was tasty too. We definitely plan to return!

The best Italian food in Midlothian and there are several to choose from. Their pizza is fantastic…read more The crust is toasted on edge and bottom, but a soft and tender bite and chew. I would have one five times a week, but it wouldn't be as special as once or twice. Try their entire menu, I have.

I had a terrible experience a few days ago and swore I wouldn't come back but my boyfriends food…read morewas good so we gave it another run. We ordered the calamari which we got this time. It was excellent. We ordered the shrimp with the brandy pink sauce which was what brought us back. The brandy pink sauce is really good and the shrimp are huge. The Cesar salad dressing is apparently made in house. Oksana made sure to go out of her way to make sure things went well this time. We went at an off time which I think made all the difference. We were the only ones there besides a lady at the bar. They could work on the ambiance a bit. I would the staff is professional. I don't know if that's because we had a bad experience the other day and thought we would complain again. Except for that and the chipped saucer things went well. I'm glad to know when to go. Definitely not when they're busy. But the shrimp are huge! We couldn't finish our food but gladly took it home. We will likely roll the dice again. We just know what to order when we go.

Small family run restaurant. We had a variety of pizza, pasta, grilled salmon and appetizers…read more The calamari appetizers was very good, tender, and well seasoned. The marinara was could have been warmer, but good flavor. The fried mozzarella was good, served hot. Good flavor. Pizzas were well cooked, great toppings, very good crust. Great chew and crisp on the bottom from the oven. Generous toppings, large pizzas. The salmon was cooked correctly, fresh, and well seasoned. Too much olive oil on the salmon and veggies, but a good flavor. Grilled veggies were ok, just too much oil for my taste. Service was friendly and quick. Overall a great an experience.

Stopped into The District in Midlothian after a long afternoon of house shopping with my husband…read moreand sister because nothing fuels real estate decisions like hunger, dreams and hope. The place was fully booked, but the hostess saved the day and offered us lounge seating on the sofas. Honestly, it felt a little VIP...like we'd accidentally wandered into the cool kids' corner. I halfway considered putting on my sunglasses indoors just to commit to the moment, maybe even asking if they offered bottle service in the lounge. Within 10 minutes we were settled in and already getting excellent service. And as if the vibe wasn't good enough, there was a one‑man show crooning jazzy tunes in the background. He was smooth, talented, and added just the right soundtrack for an early dinner. Think "speakeasy energy," but suburban‑friendly. Now, the food. My husband ordered the Crunchy Pig sandwich, my sister went for the half rack of ribs, and I claimed the smoked turkey BLT. Everything hit the table about 20 minutes later, hot, fresh, and so lip‑smacking tasty that we inhaled every bite before remembering we meant to take pictures. My apologies to the food‑photo purists; trust me, the plates were camera‑ready before we destroyed them. If you find yourself wandering around The District in Midlothian, do yourself a righteous favor and grab a memorable meal here. Great food, great service, great music, and apparently great sofas.

The vibe is upscale but the prices don't say that. The portions are perfect. The menu looks great, not too many random options. It seems like what they do, they do well. Perfect spot for a date night, lunch and a few drinks. I will most definitely be back.
