I used Yelp to select this restaurant for lunch. I came in an 4 employees were sitting around in…read moretheir phones. I was told to seat myself. After a few minutes one came over asking if I wanted the buffet which looked good but I wasn't that hungry. I ordered a Po Boy off the menu. It took a really long time. All the while watching the waitress try and get something off her shoe. Once the cook said my food ready, she was still messing with her shoe. Someone else brought my food. Once I started to eat it, it was slathered in mayo and there were very few shrimp on it. The few that were supplied were tasty.The fries were cold. I ate about half my meal and left all the fries. No one ever checked on me or asked if I wanted a refill in my drink. This place has potential if the employees cared. I won't be returning when in the area. Maybe it was just a bad day but that was my experience. I dislike giving bad reviews but I was nauseous the rest of the day from all the mayo

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

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.
