Restaurant Eve
Located in a looming warehouse in Old Town Alexandria, Restaurant Eve features the culinary masterpieces of acclaimed Chef Cathal Armstrong. Settle in to the Bistro and Lounge for cocktails and classic Maryland crabcakes, roasted halibut and country hen dishes. Take in a more formal dining experience at the Chef's Tasting Table, where a five- or nine-course fixed-price menu features sustainably grown meat entrees and seasonal vegetables, some from the chef's own garden. Make reservations as much as two months in advance. Jackets and evening attire are requested.
