The Garden Bar on 6th — Restaurant in Alexandria

We were immediately approached by the hostess who was very unwelcoming and off-putting. She told us they were completely booked for the next hour and a half. She changed her tune and got us a table after we agreed to be put on a waiting list. We were seated and then had to flag down a waitress to order drinks. Our waitress was very rude and visibly upset. At one point our waitress spilled water on me when pouring and then proceeded to blame me because I was holding onto my cup, instead of apologizing. We had to also ask to put in our food order. She proceeded to make us wait about 10 minutes after that request while she cleared and reset tables. The drinks were good, the food was only okay, but the service and atmosphere were terrible. There were at least three to five tables completely empty the whole entire time we were there. Why we were told they had no room for us at first is still a mystery. Overall a very underwhelming and unpleasant experience, definitely not worth the money spent. I would definitely choose Longtrees Woodfire Grill over the Garden Bar. The drinks there are just as delicious, the food is a little better and the service far exceeds that of...

Great atmosphere and amazing service from the staff. Kitchen was a little slow but the food was worth it. Dress is casual. This is a great date spot for those looking for a date night with the significant other. Expect to spend an hour here. Food We had the steak which was tender and cooked to perfection. The mash potatoes were delicious. The ravioli was definitely made for the garlic lover. The gyros were heavy handed on the fillings, making them almost impossible to eat without having a little bit first. The lobster bisque soup was good for local. Served with lobster on a crisped slice of bread. They do offer a kids drink cup option, but I think next time we'll get a babysitter. The coffee was good for black coffee. Dessert The tiramisu was delicious. It was moist yet not soggy with a definite bite. Portioned to share for sure. Much like the cheesecake, which I did not get to try.

This place is not going to disappoint a friend from out of town or the special someone in your life. I'll definitely be back when I wish to enjoy the finer side of...

As a small business owner ourselves in the hospitality industry, we have high standards and The Garden Bar on 6th receives an A+ for ambiance, service, friendly staff, great local music and some the BEST food we have eaten out in a long while. Kudos to the Chef, who came out and checked on us, the bartender who helped us find the right beer and martini for the food. Simply loved everything about our visit. We enjoyed smoked beets with goat cheese, lobster bisque soup, the bread and butter, to the wedge salad, the tuna poke stack was scrumptious and a meal on its own and topped off with a rack of dry rubbed ribs with 3 sauces. The only downfall was not having room for dessert. We will be back! Kudos and thank you for accepting chamber bucks when other businesses wouldn't. You earned our business as a repeat customers....
