Restaurants near Douglas Patterson Park

Myself and 4 friends went to celebrate one of my friends 60 plus Birthday. The ambience was good, waitress was amazing, food was great. The only thing we didn't care for was the spinach dip and we sent it back with no problem. We thought the spinach dip didn't have a good taste-to be honest they may need to try a new recipe. We ordered all appetizers, we had stuffed oysters, calamari, seafood egrolls, honey glazed brussel sprouts, jerk wings, signature crispy shrimp and someone had a bowl of gumbo. We all had the crab crusher drink, it was good! To top it all off we met 2 other nice young ladies who we ended up chatting with and exchanging numbers. My group stayed for about 3 hours. I've been to both locations, Alexandria and Capital Heights and will return.

Our server was very gracious and new. Our service was pretty prompt. The music was kind of loud for dinner conversation. The overall experience was great. We really enjoy the restaurant and the food. Appetizers and drinks are a bit pricey.

We had A great time and enjoyed our visit!!!!! Definitely making this a weekly thing,it wasn’t crowded at all

The food was excellent! Loved the salmon hash dish and the servings are plentiful! Only thing, the restaurant did not have a couple menue items we requested, and it was the middle of the day! We chose to go to Panera for cookies 🍪.

We celebrated my birthday at Red Lobster, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Before we even arrived, the staff had already set up two tables for our party of 12 (two tables of 6), which made everything so smooth and stress-free. My husband and I had booked ahead, and we really appreciated the effort they put into making sure everything was ready. Our server, Jada, was absolutely amazing—so patient, attentive, and professional throughout the entire lunch. She kept everything organized, made sure everyone had what they needed, and did it all with a smile. The food came out hot and fresh, and for such a large group, that was impressive. Everyone enjoyed their meals, and the timing was perfect. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, which made the celebration even more special. Thank you to Jada and the Red Lobster team for making my birthday celebration so enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back!
