Del Ray Café

Had a wonderful meal last night at Del Ray Cafe'. Everyone in our party of 4 enjoyed their meal and felt our service was spot on. We tried both the Restaurant week menu and regular dinner menu. We recommend the Oysters and the Shrimp (heads are cooked on for full flavor) for apps. My husband loved his Scallop dish and my Steak was cooked to a perfect Medium Rare as requested. We will definitely return and highly recommend.

Every time I come: it’s the best meal I’ve ever had.
The food is AMAZING. The servers know all the food on the menu and describe it in delicious detail. I have food restrictions and they were very accommodating. I have to eat gluten free and even the menu is very clear on what is safe. We enjoyed everything from the service to the drinks and ESPECIALLY the food. Perfect place for special occasions or to bring your parents when they visit.
Will definitely be going back!

Very cute place to go to. I went to brunch with 6 people. There isnt space inside to wait to be seated, so bring a coat if it's cold out. We sat upstairs and had a nice view of the snowfall. The dishes of food looked and tasted great. Our server and his helpers were very attentive and great. I recommend going here. I got the french toast with the fruit stuff. It was delicious. If you are a huge eater then 1 brunch plate might not be big enough. But for a normal eater it's good.

This place is always great. The setting is so relaxing and the service is some of the best in Alexandria. We always have the same people serving us each time. The server assistants are really good too - always on top of refills, clearing plates, getting extra bread, etc. They interact with you really well too, which is great. We go here mostly for breakfast and today was our first time getting lunch. We’ll be back for lunch again soon!

I love this little cafe! The salads are wonderful and fresh-we especially love the beet salad. Brunch has a ton of options-the omelettes alone have endless combinations and if you are a crepe lover they even have buckwheat crepes. They are very accommodating with my food allergies, with a menu well marked for gluten-free options. I particularly appreciate that the owner hand-picks his fish selections so it is always fresh and they serve grass fed meats. Our family has had many meals at Del Ray Cafe over the years, have sent many friends, and will continue to enjoy going!
