Our server, Michael, was absolutely amazing. He was attentive and made sure we had a great experience. Ask for him the next time you visit. He just had the best aura - so pleasant and welcoming. Food: I had the wagyu steak frites. My dish was perfection. Probably one of the best steak frites I've had. We also tried their burger - also a winner. And their lamb shank was delicious. We don't generally order dessert but we had to try their famous (almost 100-year old recipe) coconut cake. It was so light and fluffy with toasted coconut shavings. The cake was not overly sweet and the coconut was not overpowering. We loved it! I can see why that's been around for nearly 100 years.

We enjoyed a shrimp shumai appetizer, and that was great! From the sushi rolls, we especially liked the specialty rolls. Our favorites were the Mt. Fuji roll and the Suica roll. The prices were reasonable. The server was friendly, and the food came out promptly. I had to change the baby's diaper in the women's restroom, and while they didn't have a formal changing table, they had a counter top that worked fine. Overall, great experience! I would definitely come back.

The Maki B combo was very fresh and so delicious. The Thai tea was really good. The Miso soup was delicious but a little more salt than it properly needed. Got a free small side of salad with typical sauce. Overall happy with the quality.

Two of us visited the Wharf for dinner on a Saturday night. We were seated right away. We ordered…read moreoysters on the halfshell and shrimp cocktail as appetizers. The waiter asked if I wanted to add an additional shrimp to the order, which I agreed to. The shrimp cocktail was nothing short of a rip off, $20 for 4 medium sized shrimp that weren't properly cleaned and not fully chilled; absolutely ridiculous. The oysters were very nice, fresh and only a bit briny, would order those again. For dinner, we ordered the salmon and the sea bass. The fish were both cooked perfectly. Both the sauteed spinach served with the salmon and the black rice served with the sea bass were beyond salty -- actually inedible. Service throughout the meal was fine but we found ourselves abandonded at the end. The server for our table, and those around us was gone for a long period and even the tables around us noticed his absence. We skipped desert. The check, including 1 glass of wine, and 1 coke, came to $140. I'm sorry, this wasn't even close to worth that much money. Perhaps the Wharf was just having an off night, but my impression is that this is a tired restaurant, trading mostly on its excellent location, that has given up on the concept of repeat business.

Of course, the very moment the fireworks were to go off a pouring rain began. Grr. Our aim at Vola's was to get some drinks and dessert sitting outside. We put our name on the waiting list and were seated about 40 minutes later in the section on King St. Service was very good. My friends were drinking hard seltzers and margaritas. I opted for Vola's hot coffee, which just didn't taste very good, even when camouflaged with cream. For dessert, we ordered the chocolate fudge cake, vanilla bean trifle and Audrey's key lime pie. The chocolate fudge cake was very rich and very tasty. But even I, as a chocolate lover, would have preferred that the cake had come with some vanilla ice cream to balance things out. The key lime pie with Chantilly cream was good with a sharp lime flavor. I ordered the Vanilla Bean Trifle. This dessert came with a blackberry compote, Chantilly cream, whipped cream and a crispy thin butterscotch tuile wafer. The flavors in the trifle were great, but because the dessert was served at nearly room temperature, it wasn't very appealing. To be best enjoyed, this dessert should have been chilled.

However, the Cobb salad was really good! It was a good size, they tossed the dressing in automatically, and the chicken was fresh and tender off the grill. Will definitely come again to try more... The only downside are the prices are a little high. I thought the Cobb salad was expensive... I paid $14.99 for the salad but the chipotle chicken wrap was reasonably priced at $9.99.

(2 out of 5 stars)…read more This is a difficult review to write because the Sonoma Cellar used to be one of my favorite spots in Old Town Alexandria. I was aware the ownership had changed some time ago, but this was my first opportunity to return and see how things had kind of evolved. The good news is that they are pet friendly, which allowed us to bring our puppy, Chewie. Unfortunately, the rest of the experience was disappointing. The service was painfully, excruciatingly slow. The staff members were polite though, and genuinely trying to help, but they simply appeared unprepared. When we asked for recommendations or information related to the wines, we received very little guidance. One gentleman eventually admitted that he was just filling in and didn't really know the wines at all. Understandable, but not the experience I was going for. The water bottle for the table served to us was room temperature, which felt odd, especially on a hot day while sitting outdoors. The wine tasting was a major disappointment compared to what Sonoma Cellar used to offer, and the overall wine selection appeared to me at least, noticeably smaller than I remembered. I was also disappointed to discover that Sonoma Cellar has adopted the increasingly common practice of adding a 3% credit card surcharge. I didn't notice any clear disclosure beforehand, and these types of fees always leave a bad impression. I know I'm a bit picky with those, but still. The establishment was likely dealing with staffing issues on the day we visited, but the overall experience felt like a shadow of what this place used to be. What used to be one of my favorite wine stops in Old Town has clearly diminished in both service and selection. We left disappointed and, sadly, don't expect to return. Chewie agreed.
