Restaurant Eve Description:
Located in Old Town, Alexandria this historic warehouse building is now converted into a quaint yet sophisticated 100 seat restaurant offering two unique dining experiences in separate rooms. "The Chef's Tasting Room" and "The Bistro."
Highlighting the freshest of seasonal ingredients and local Virginia produce. Armstrong has a strong commitment to sourcing the best ingredients that local farmers can provide in the pursuit of excellence.
Owner-executive chef Cathal Armstrong has created a dazzling assortment of dishes, both in his dressier Chef's Tasting Room and in the more casual Bistro. In the sun-washed downstairs dining area, enjoy such luscious lunch preparations as the Eastern Shore corn bisque---rich in texture but delicately seasoned---before tucking into such entrées as the seared loin of Shenandoah lamb with roasted apricots, a bowl of bouillabaisse, an Irish BLT, and the seasonal special soft-shell crab sandwich on crusty bread with rémoulade. For dessert, how about a wedge of birthday cake (just because), or a spiced pineapple dumpling? Or if you are a fool for lemon anything for dessert, order the chocolate-and-lemon terrine and relish the chocolate fudge paired with lemon cream. Bistro dinners offer just as many tricks and the menu may include a butter-poached Maine lobster with lemon gnocchi or prime rib-eye of beef with potato galette. But should you select the pricier prix-fixe menu in the chef's own dining room, expect to enjoy five courses of wildly imaginative fare, like corn nut-crusted Maine diver scallops or stuffed quail with brown figs and foie gras.
