My family and I went in with very high expectations based on former reviews. Upon entering everything seemed fine. The atmosphere was relaxed and fun. Be prepared to yell at the people in your party because the music was loud enough that was the only way to talk to the people at your table. Then we were waited on by a very nice gentleman who explained to us that their fryer was broken so fish and chips, as well as many other menu items could not be ordered.

I’ve dined in and done take out from here a considerable number of times. The food is consistently good and reasonably priced for a seafood restaurant. If you dine in, you’re proximal for the waterfront in Old Town. It’s a nice view. Weekends can get pretty busy. Consider making a reservation during peak hours.

OK! Let me start by saying how much I love this place so my review might be biased.. Number one pro of this place, Is the view my God! Mark the view from here is beautiful if you died outside on the waterfront space they have. The the ambience is amazing and the music they play at the bar is like Etta James and soul.. That being said they have a nice happy hour menu with a couple apps all under $10 as well as a variety of drinks all under $10 . Let me start with my favorites. The peel and eat shrimp, OMG! Jim mark best peel and eat shrimp I’ve ever had perhaps they are steamed and served warm in a grill dry rub. Not the traditional old not the traditional obey or served chilled. I come here just for those shrimp. The other thing that is bomb is the frozen drinks on a hot summer day. The Orange crush is lovely and they have another flavor as well sometimes I get the mix of half-and-half which is amazing. The spicy mussels appetizer is it’s so good, I wish they had pasta. Coz I would sure order a side of pasta to eat with it. The Buffalo chicken sliders on happy hour I have yet to take a picture of because when they come I eat them so quickly I can’t even think to take a photo. Did you see Lucy sliders are good as well.. And their French fries are fresh cut and soft and hot only inside and crunchy on the outside my favorite type of French fry. They do mess up the bill sometimes because you don’t close out your bill at the bar because all the tabs are shared so it can get confusing so just check your tab before you pay . More pics and posts to come next time I go there. Until then enjoy!

I highly recommend getting the Shrimp P’boy Sandwich, it’s so crispy and very filling. I also tried the fried calamari appetizer. It was my very first time trying Ceviche, and I thought it tasted very delicious and sour!

Good food but fish came out quite oily and overall, all the food could use a little more seasoning. The service was great. However, it’s a shame that the restroom with a changing table is on the 3rd floor – seems like an easy and suitable fix for how many families were dining in!

We have eaten here twice and both times the food and service were good. This place is right on the water in the heart of touristy Alexandria. If you want to sit outside, especially on the weekends, you will have a wait. The dining area is busy. The staff is always running around. Expect more college kids than seasoned pros. We have had the crab dip, coconut shrimp, sandwiches like pulled pork. All are consistently good. It seems like each time we visit Alex we walk around and just end up at Vola’s. We will return.

Amazing food! The xrab cakes were tasty, nit too much filler. The oysters and drinks can’t be beat. The chocolate mouse was a perfect finishing dessert. The service was top notch. Josh is by far the best server there with great care and attention given to his customers. The place wouldn’t be the same without him, yoy can’t get service like that from everyone! Would definitely recommend and will definitely be going here again!
