    We went for jazz brunch but ended up leaving because the music was too loud and there weren’t a lot of gluten free options on the menu. We’ll try again sometime for a quiet dinner. We love jazz but not when it’s so loud you can’t even talk to the person you’re sitting next to.

If you would kindly email us at info@blackwallhitchalexandria.c0m with a copy of your review, date dined & location, we will work hard to remedy this and prove we can do better.

    Food and service were excellent as always. The food is very fresh, with a wide variety of options. The omelette station has everything you might want to include with your eggs including shrimp and fresh crab meat. The fried chicken is amazing. I also enjoyed the raw oysters, peel and eat shrimp, and the smoked salmon. Ask to be seated away from the band as it can get a bit noisy. Overall, it was a great experience and we will return.

    Was overall upset with the quality and taste of the food. The crab cake had way too much filler and garlic parmesan wings came out as basically fried wingettes.
