- GGenesisSeattle / Eastern Washington •2 reviews4.0Dined 1 day agoI went there for a birthday dinner with my son, and we sat near the bar area. We waited for some time, looking over the menu, as it was both of our first times visiting. After a while, the manager came by and asked if anyone had attended to our table. We said not yet, and he immediately apologized. By that point, we already knew we wanted the crab dip, which we had seen online, so we ordered that along with calamari. Both dishes came out and tasted amazing. However, the table seated behind us had a server who introduced himself, while we had not yet been approached by anyone. I ended up ordering through the manager, who helped us throughout the meal, refilling our glasses, bringing extra sauces, etc. I did ask a young lady for extra sauce when she brought our food. She said okay but ended up bringing the food to the table behind us. I got her attention again, and she apologized, but after that, I didn’t see her again. I even helped by holding up the ramekin through the window, hoping she understood, but she never came back. Despite this, I would visit again and give it another chance, hoping it was just a case of being short-staffed. I loved the view, especially how close it was to the water, and the happy hour prices were very reasonable. My only wish is that we had been treated and served as attentively as the tables around us. Again, Ken made my visit great—he was apologetic, helpful, and even suggested off-menu items to my son.More infoBlackwall Hitch - AlexandriaPrice: Expensive• American• Alexandria•4.5

My wife has seafood allergies, and the waiter ensured that he instructed her of food that were not entangled with seafood per her allergies. Excellent service and always checked on us regularly. Great service by our waiter named Jimmy.More info219 RestaurantPrice: Moderate• Regional American (Southern)• Alexandria•4.4
- SSonjaSan Antonio •3 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoAlthough the restaurant was a bit busy, with no seat untaken when we first arrived, the noise and atmosphere was still relatively quiet and calm. I was not sure what to expect as I have only had afternoon tea outside of the US. The food, the tea, and the staff were all wonderful. The food was especially good and presented well with no finishes overlooked. I did order a more savory dish in addition to the full tea service. The chicken and leak pie was absolutely delicious and I highly recommend trying anything that might sound appeasing to your palet. Lady Camellia is highly recommended. My daughter and I will be back soon!More infoLady CamelliaPrice: Very Expensive• Afternoon Tea• Alexandria•4.6
