I visited Sardi's in Alexandria, VA, on Thursday, November 18, 2021, at 8:30pm (one hour before closing).....my very first time there. The young man who took my order was so nice, attentive, made me feel welcome. The lady who completed my order & collected my payment was so kind and patient, answered all of my questions and took the time to explain their condiments/sauces. The portions were HUGE, the food was hot and fresh even though it was near the end of the day. The chicken was EXCELLENT....just so tasty and mouthwatering. The price for 1/2 chicken with 2 sides and a house salad was extremely reasonable. I ate in the dining room, and even though it reached closing time, I never felt me being there was an imposition to them. The staff was gracious and made me feel valued. When you mix great food with great people, THAT is what makes a place totally great. I am a Flight Attendant, so I'm in many different places, and this by far is at the top of my favorite list. Thank you, Sardi's for providing an excellent meal in a friendly environment at the end of a long work day. I will be back again! ❤
