Bistro Sancerre

Mar 9th, 2024

We had dinner tonight at Bistro Sancerre and it was a culinary masterpiece. Our server Jarrod was attentive and engaging. We ordered the escargot as an appetizer - it was buttery garlic goodness. For mains we ordered the steak frite (ribeye) and the duck. Both were cooked to perfection. The French fries were addictive and the seeet potato puree was velvety. They have a good wine selection by the glass. Its a short walk from King St metro. It was a perfect impromptu date night and cannot wait to go back!

My wife and I had been here for dinner. My son whom recently became engaged and his fiance , along with her parents we're going here to see if this is someplace that we would like to hold they're engagement party. I spoke to the manager 2 weeks prior to make reservations she assured me that everything would go well, shr also said she would send me a menu and give me some general pricing which never arrived. Upon arrival my son's future in-laws were already sitting at the bar and had been there for some time. They informed me that there was only one waiter at the restaurant that evening and it was rather busy. Now getting these people to agree to have any type of party that didn't include a barbecue and whiskey was going to be difficult enough but what occured was unexcusable. My son arrived at the restaurant with his fiance about the same time as I did and my wife. Gerard the waiter a pleasant man who was the only waiter that evening and had at least nine tables with multiple guests He was apologetic but determined that everything would be fine He took our drink orders and after about 5 minutes my son's in-laws were becoming impatient but after 30 I had to agree and they got up and left the restaurant I was embarrassed and quite humiliated by the experience and just quietly left the restaurant as well. I reached out to management let them know that they set Gerard up to fail and that it was unbelievable that them knowing two weeks in advance that I was coming in there and was going to be spending quite a bit of money not only on this dinner but also the possibility of spending several thousands on the engagement party. No response no apology no updates now the food there the times my wife and I were there was pretty good The atmosphere as far as the aesthetics of the building it's pretty exceptional but I would have to say the owners and the management of this restaurant care so little about their customers that they understaffed the establishment to the point of their own demise and to the disappointment of their clientele. I would say of the multiple restaurants down in the Old Town Alexandria area there's got to be at least 25 where the food is as good if not better and probably every one of them has better service because management sets their people up for failure and sets their clients up for a long long evening.

Very nice setting. Hopefully more people will visit this gem. Dietary restrictions: There is accessible underground parking. It has 2 entrances but only one is used.
