Hank And Mitzi's - Alexandria

It was a nice dinner on Thursday, eating was absolutely amazing and the service was impeccable.

Great food, decent service. Nice to be out of the mainstream of King Street, too.

Arrived for reservation at 8:00 and were met by a friendly and energetic ?manager. She showed us to our table and we ordered drinks. The server recommended a white Negroni (had never heard of it). It was blah and overpriced. My husbands calamari appetizer was Ok. As for the entrees I had the spinach and ricotta raviolis Ok. My husband had the seafood linguine with added shellfish. 1. The seafood that came with the linguine was straight from a frozen Costco bag. 2. The added seafood was suppose to be shelled clams and shelled mussels. Well they were out of clams so they substituted chopped up clams. From a can? You decide. Oh and they forgot to bring our wine. As we were eating our server interrupted us to say “ last call for food; if you want dessert you’ll have to order it now.” What? We finished our meal as all tables were broken down around us and we felt rushed. Do not take a reservation at 8 if you close at 9.

Great salmon, clams with linguine and Caesar salad. Mushroom salad lacked flavor.

Special because we were finally getting together with friends for dinner after being apart for so long due to the pandemic
