Sometimes things just fall perfectly into place. Exactly our story at Sonoma Cellar last night. Delicious wine selection, impeccable service, and amazing food. As an older guy, it's nice to land somewhere where the music isn't blaring so loud that it makes having a conversation impossible. SC was almost library-like, with the ability to speak in normal voices, while still enjoying the ambient chatter from nearby tables and noisy King Street.The cheese and charcuterie board was easily the best one we've had in Alexandria: enough bread, incredible fig jam, and a beautiful assortment of just the right sizes of artisanal cheeses and meats.Nights like these make dining so much more fun and worthwhile.

I really enjoyed the chill and airy vibe in here. Situated on King Street, this sweet wine bar is nestled between shops and offers a nice reprieve. A friend and I sat at the bar on Sunday for some drinks. She had a wine flight, which she enjoyed overall, and I had a mango-mosa with a cup of their truly delightful butternut squash soup.The soup was the star for me! It was so well done and the pumpkin seeds and sour cream drizzle definitely elevated it.Service was friendly, and the prices were reasonable. The patio out back looked cute too. I'd absolutely consider a return on future trips to Alexandria.

I was visiting my sister who lives nearby. We stopped in a late lunch and sips. We had my sister's dog, and their back garden was like a hidden gem- not too crowded, intimate, and shaded. They set us up with a dog bowl. The bartender inside was also the server outside- he was friendly, and idk how he knew when people needed him, but he seemed to be available whenever people were ready.The food was high-quality and tasty, nicely seasoned- I did feel the Sonoma, CA vibe. We thought ordering two crostinis would be too heavy, but they were perfect and different enough! Savory vs sweet. The tender Blackened Chicken was big enough to share between the two of us. Lastly, the wine flights were all good- 1 dry white (sauv blanc), 1 rose, 2 dry reds (blend + merlot)... as if it was made for me!

A cute Wine Cellar with a nice selection of California wines in addition to select wine from other countries. You can also order somewhat pricey small plates, lunch and dinner.Out back is a nicely shaded patio area.A big bowl of dog bones and water bowl for your fur baby on the entrance steps.We stopped for a cold Mimosa on our way to the Torpedo factory.

I'm sad to give Sonoma Cellar a 3-star review because I want to rate it higher, but I can't based on this visit. Our first visit there last year was very good--good food, service, and atmosphere. This time we were in town for one night, and of all the restaurants in Old Town Alexandria, we chose this restaurant based on our last experience. This visit in May 2023 was lackluster. The atmosphere is still a winner--especially their outdoor seating in the back. But the food and service were not great.My order of short ribs came with three pieces of meat, but two were very fatty, and one of those was completely inedible. When we pointed this out to our server (at the end of the meal), the table behind us said there's was fatty too. One of our party ordered a glass of the weekly wine specials. After the wine had been delivered to our table and partly consumed, we were told that wine special was sold out, and they showed us a bottle of the wine they substituted. It was very good. When our bill arrived, though, we were charged $5 more for the substitute wine without anyone asking us if that it was ok or offering us optional wines. On the positive side, the French Onion soup was excellent, and the blacken chicken entree was a unique preparation that our friend greatly enjoyed.

Cute tasting area, they also have a terrace in the back. I just came for a tasting. Their June flight had 4 wines, good size pours. Wide selection of great wines.

Sonoma Cellar is one of my favorite spots in Old Town. I'm definitely a regular at this point, and a proud one at that!Perhaps my favorite thing about Sonoma Cellar is the patio: it's beautiful. Cozy with string lights and just enough room between tables -- what's not to love? Admittedly this is less of a selling point during the winter, but it's what first attracted me to the place. The wine is good, the service is consistently awesome, and the food is solid too. I'm a huge fan of their mushroom risotto (quite filling for a side, too!) and the gluten-free chocolate cake (dense and decadent). I know I'll be back.

Hidden green in Old Town. I've walked past this place multiple times, but wanted somewhere 4 friends could just have a nice wine or beer. This was a great option. We had the burger and wine and the server was knowledgeable to sides something for our tastes.We sat outside and the leaves kept falling from the trees and I got ate up by bugs, so please be mindful. I look forward to returning
