Super chill spot with delicious food and great service. Our server, Omar, recommended this yummy crab dip. We had the nutty manhattan(really bold) and a mango mock tail. For our entree we had the New York strip with this yummy hot butter in top of it and a side of Mac and cheese. Great service, food, and vibe. Definitely recommend. They also have a honey pizza I’m trying next time.

Nice place on the water to grab a bite to eat. Blackwall has great specials throughout the week and a good happy hour selection. I went to dinner with friends and Cleveland was my server and provided excellent service. The food was tasty but came out lukewarm. The manager came to address our issue but we were too hungry to haven’t anything recooked. But if the food was hot it sure would have been great. We still enjoyed it.

I recently dined at Blackwall Hitch in Virginia, and overall, it was a delightful experience. The food was truly exceptional, with a diverse menu that offers something for everyone. Each dish was prepared with care and presented beautifully, making it a feast for both the eyes and the palate. The ambiance at Blackwall Hitch is also a major highlight. The decor is stylish and inviting, creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere that makes it a perfect spot for a special occasion or a casual night out. However, while the food and ambiance were top-notch, the customer service could use some improvement. Although the staff was friendly, there were moments when the service felt a bit slow and inattentive. With some fine-tuning in this area, Blackwall Hitch has the potential to offer a truly outstanding dining experience. In summary, Blackwall Hitch is definitely worth a visit for its excellent food and charming ambiance, and I hope to see improvements in the customer service on my next visit.

Great restaurant on the water centrally located. It’s huge too so great place for happy hours or to hang out with friends. We got a couple of appetizers, a chicken sandwich and salmon risotto and everything tasted really good. Also the whole lighting the crab dip on fire is pretty cool. Our server was fantastic and I’m sure we’ll be back

Blackwall Hitch Alexandria always is a vibe!! I chose this restaurant for a celebration with friends-part belated birthday and part going away. The atmosphere was perfect. From the moment we were greeted by the hostesses to our wonderful server Taylor, everything was spot on. Taylor was very attentive and made our visit and celebration memorable. Got to meet Mustafa the manager has well who was also warm and pleasant. Thanks Blackwall Hitch for making our experience absolutely wonderful.

So the reviews about house music are true -- turn it down, please! Otherwise, great food with good service. Not a bad place to spend a New Year's Eve -- certainly pricey though. Also not many Non-Dairy options.

Teo, our server was better than excellent. Made Bloody Mary using the oyster juice and the spicy cocktail sauce , not on the menu. Fried calamari was good but watch out for the hot cherry peppers that come with it. Oysters slurped perfectly! Espresso Martini and Manhattan were good.
