Great atmosphere along with great food. Three different levels
by Daryl D
A great place for Sunday brunch.
by David R
The mussels are outstanding! Huge portion for the price, and beautifully presented.
by Reony T
Went for lunch and the food was pretty mediocre, at best. I had a salmon Caesar salad. The atmosphere is nice, but the slow service and not great food is a 👎🏽.
by Jennifer Leigh W.
This place is a delight. Eat outside if you can. The desserts are worth getting
by Leandro L.
The atmosphere & food are absolutely wonderful. Yes, the service is slow, but not bad. I'd definitely come back many times.
by Brian W.
Housemade Lemonade #epicfail watered down lemons in a cup. Blueberry waffles decent...disappointed
by Micah C
Watered down tomato juice and huge chunks of what I hope is horseradish do not make for a good Bloody Mary. Ick- pass!
by Runnin' Donna

Chicken and waffles was one of the best I've had in DC area...still looking for someone to beat the ones I've had in Charleston...but it can def keep up! Excellent service every time I have been.
by Shirley C.
I can't remember the last time I had a better dining experience. Cocktails were amazing, sweet potato bisque was absolute perfection, steaks divine, and braised greens to DIE for. All around perfect.

Killer mussels and beautiful architecture
by Alicia O.
Scallop dish was really small for the price. Pork shank dish was amazing and a generous portion.
by Chris A.
Rueben egg rolls are awesome
by Alex G.
Excellent meat and cheese plates. Ask your server for a recommendation. They won't steer you wrong!
by Olivia L.
Sit at the bar and ask for Jamie's Entebbes cocktail. Delicious and fruity but not too sweet.
by Jessica G.
Open until 2, even on weeknights!
by Jessica G.
Place location and design is great... Can't say the same about the staff. Too bad
by Layal I.
Try the meat and cheese sampler

It gets its name from the old Columbia Firehouse!
by Andrew G.
The Vermillion group has the best hanger steak , hands down.
by Ed N.
My oyster Po Boy was a little dry. The firehouse salad, hot tea, and fries were all excellent however.It's got a great atmosphere too! The music and architecture are smooth.
by Andrew F.
Eh. Burger and onion rings were both very bland.
by Rachel R.
They make a great sazerac
by John C.
Bloody Mary tasted amazingly fresh! Had to splurge on the chicken and waffles which was good and bad for you as expected. Our server Hannah was a delight! Till next time!
by Joshua R.
Great food, drinks, and service.
by Liz C.
Featured on the Food Network, this place can get packed on weekends, but is great when you need a nice, semi-formal weeknight meal/date.
by Erin C.
Cornmeal crusted oysters - terrific.
by Troy B.
The oyster Po-boy is tender and yummy. The Caesar salad is great. Mussels are cooked perfectly and very well cleaned.
by Kristel P.
Beware of the swarm of flies. Kinda gross during lunch.

Columbia Firehouse in Alexandria is actually two concepts in one: an American bistro downstairs -- with everything from mussels to baby backs -- and a chophouse upstairs.

The Ceasar salad is nice and light with a nice tang of anchovy..
by Kristin C.
