Finally escaped this place. Based on the food, was going to give it a solid three stars -- good but far from the best I've ever had. Unfortunately, the service brought the rating down as far as Yelp will allow.
Great food and super meticulous service. This is my husband's and my favorite place for a quiet and romantic dinner in Old Town. Our waiter Hector was a gracious host and made our experience unforgettable.
As to the other table you were ignoring? They were pissed, too. Wonder if they gave you a tip at all. I felt bad leaving a short tip because the people that actually brought the food, kept my table bussed and my water glass full were doing their job.
The wine and service were excellent, but the food was just okay this time. I expect frozen calamari at a bar, but not at an Italian restaurant. The short ribs would have been better braised, as the slices were a bit tough. The seating arrangement detracted from the dining experience. Our table for two was set against another, which would have been fine if we were a party of four. My husband and I had to speak loudly to compete with the conversation of the other couple, and I felt like I had an audience for every word we spoke. I don't think we will dine here again soon.
It's Tuesday night. The place is all but dead - there was our table (two people) and two other tables. It's great that you wanted to give that drunk tourist-couple lots of personal attention and information about the area, but ...THEY WEREN'T THE ONLY CUSTOMERS IN THE PLACE. There's simply no acceptable reason for it to take longer to bring me the check than it took for us to order, receive and consume our meal. That, after such a duration, I *STILL* had to get up from my table and wave one of the busboys down so that they could find someone to get me a check - because the server was SO engrossed in the one other table is simply beyond the pale.
Even if the food were better than middling, the complete disregard for service means WE'RE. NEVER. COMING. BACK.
It's good, like ridiculously good. Their salads are nice, their entree selection is varying and everything I have tried has wonderfully surprised me every time! Their desserts are delicious! This is my go-to restaurant in Old Town Alexandria!
Food, drinks and service, all was great on a Saturday night. Been to few Italian places in Alexandria, Geranio is definitely one of best!
