The food was AMAZING! My husband and I went for a lunch date and ordered the Mini Football Wings for the appetizer, half mambo sauce and half plain. They were cooked just right! I ordered a Wine, G. D. Vajra Moscato-Sweet and has me so hooked I’ve been looking everywhere to have some in my home! For the entrees, I ordered the Reuben with nothing modified. It was great and the Shoestring Fries tasted better than McDonalds’. My spouse ordered a burger-there was a $12 Burger special for lunch (on Mondays) so he created his own burger. It was HUGE! The portions were out of this world!! He also ordered a Sweet Tea and said “Now this some real sweet tea! Tastes like it came straight from the tea bag.” He told me he would like to come back to this restaurant because the vibes and music were great, ambience was appealing and warm/welcoming, and the service felt intimate (one on one even though there were other guests dining). Me personally, I thought the service could have been a bit more professional (we waited a while to have our order taken and waited a while to receive our card back after paying). Other than that, I would absolutely recommend this spot to anyone else dining in the La Plata/Waldorf/Southern Maryland area. Worth the price and worth the experience! Bring your appetite!

What a gorgeous way and day to luxuriate in 80° weather on the deck of Moonraker with great music, fabulous views of SW DC, the Potomac, DCA, 395 and beyond! Raz was the most pleasant and attentive server you could have. Combine that with the delicious "bites", cocktails and great company, it was a perfect way to kick off the 1st weekend in October! Hopefully, we'll get a few more warm days so we can do it again before the cool weather starts to become more prevalent! Moonraker is a MUST.

    Lovely dinner at Jula's again last evening. The homemade burrata with arugula, pomegranate seeds and grilled bread was so delicious. The flatbreads - mine the truffle mushroom and my husband's the 3 meat - are a regular choice of ours for a Friday evening and were outstanding. Jeremy was our waiter and is always so welcoming, kind and helpful making our dining experience a special event on a Friday evening! The views and ambiance are the best in Alexandria!
