- MMarkVIPWashington, D.C. Area •7 reviews4.0Dined on 13 Dec 2024Wonderful small restaurant in Old Town Alexandria with great food and good service, but with a huge caveat. Portions are a little small for the price being paid … but my major complaint is the ridiculous noise level, especially for a place called “the Study“. No noise absorbing materials, such as carpets, curtains or ceiling tiles. This has to be one of the noisiest small places I’ve ever dined at. This is my second time and nothing has changed. As a local resident, I will not be back, nor will I recommend this place.More infoThe StudyPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Alexandria•4.9
