    My experience here is always a pleasant one. Taste and service is consistent. Amazing staff members, Tyler was amazing at making us feel warm and welcomed- He’s aware of his guests and displays strong leadership skills.

    Food came out cold, server was inattentive and requests had to be made multiple times before we received items requested like napkins and condiments. Hadn’t been here in about a year and quality appears to have gone down

    The service was good and the food was delicious. One downside is the advertisement of $23.95 BOTTOMLESS MIMOSAS, which is false because there is a .35 cent charge for each refill. Please adjust the menu description from either Bottomless or refills are .35 cent.

    My only concern is Hen Quarter - Alexandria isn’t friendly to those with mobility limitations. If you wish to dine upstairs in the main dining room, you must climb 2 sets of approximately 8 stairs plus an additional 6 more stairs to enjoy the dining room. Otherwise, I guess you may eat downstairs in what feels like the lobby bar. Once you’re in the main dining the service and food are on point 😊 Then you have to make it back downstairs.

    I’ve been to the Hens Quarter several times and never experienced what I experienced today. Our waiter, I forgot her name, came off the cuff rude; she made it seem as if we didn’t want to pay for specific items or were questioning certain things, and we just wanted to order food. Our cornbread was cold, and we asked for a skillet; she made it seem as if we couldn’t pay extra for it, and we’re like, OK, we know, but the cornbread was hard, and it was freezing. She also forgot about us. There were times when 20 minutes would go by, and we didn’t get any service, and when she did come and ask if we wanted anything or were OK, it seemed like she had an attitude. We were not rude to her, and we don’t know what we did for her to act the way she did. We had a lot of food left over when it finally came because we lost our appetite, and a lot of the food we had left was not on the family brunch menu. We wanted to take those items home. She got an attitude with us because she wanted to know who gave us to-go boxes. That was very unprofessional, so we did not leave her a tip because of her attitude. I’ve been here several times, and no server has ever acted the way she’s acted. I will come back, but if she is working that day, I would request to have someone else leave and come another day.

    Hector was our amazing server who was super friendly and attentive. Him and Eric, the manager, ensured our special event was extra special. Delicious food and drinks were of course the highlight! Thank you!
