- RRobertWashington, D.C. Area •12 reviews4.0Dined 1 day agoI arrived at 2 pm and was seated immediately since I had a reservation. The waitperson came right away and handed me a menu and left to give me time to look it over. I ordered the peanut and water chestnut soup, the turkey pot pie, and the colonial bread pudding for dessert. What can you say about peanut soup? Okay I had it, it tasted good, and I never need to have this colonial specialty again. No knock on the restaurant, it has other appetizers to choose from. The turkey pot pie had chunks of roast turkey and vegetables swimming in gravy around a circular piece of baked bread. I thought it was pretty good and the serving was big enough for two to share. The colonial bread pudding was quite good raisins and with vanilla ice cream. I had an enjoyable time celebrating an early Thanksgiving. They are completely booked for the holiday.More infoMount Vernon Inn RestaurantPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Alexandria•4.6

- MMichelleWashington, D.C. Area •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoMy 1st intro was the hostess. I was running a bit late. I called to make sure it wouldn't be a problem. Hostess was most gracious. Upon arrival hostess offered me a table & asked if it was ok. I requested another table. The cleaned the table immediately & Sat me. Our waiter's name was Gee, however there was another server that assisted, Leonel pronounced Lay-o-nel. Both young men were very accommodating, friendly, & knowledgeable about the menu. They were absolutely WONDERFUL!! I was extremely impressed with the food & drink. I'll definitely be going back!!!More infoThe Breakfast ClubPrice: Expensive• American• Silver Spring•4.3
