219 King St
Alexandria, VA 22314
Housed in a historic 19th century townhouse blocks from the waterfront, 219 has for 40 years been a beacon for the most authentic gourmet creole experience possible outside of greater New Orleans. Executive Chef Marcus Olson has taken things one step further and introduced a truly unique gourmet butcher experience--USDA Prime steaks dry-aged 21 days in house and cut to order to your exact specifications. Your meal is complemented by a 750+ bottle wine list and a massive whiskey selection. We offer private dining rooms in addition to our elegant main floor, and offer tasting menus custom-tailored to your preferences. After your meal, you can unwind in our spacious second story lounge and be entertained by world class blues music most nights of the week. Whether your taste runs towards alligator and etouffee, or to succulent aged steaks, we invite you to rediscover your favorite Old Town institution.

Absolutely the largest wedge salad I've ever been served, wow! The Cajun ranch dressing was fabulous, as well as the sparkling rose. Traditional decor and big patio, small bar in the dining room...

The food was fine, but the Caesar salad was great. Service was okay. Ambiance -- it was okay, probably better at night. I wouldn't return. Overall - meh.
