Reviews for La Fromagerie Cheese and Wine Bistro in Alexandria, VA
Absolutely appalled by the owner and wait staff treatment of our party. Slow Thursday night and they literally kicked out 18... people who were actively ordering, drinking and paying. No one was waiting for a table and there were two empty. They don?t wantlarge parties(or people who know each other) in the establishment unless you pay a $250 deposit. In a town where word of mouthbrings business they just lost quite a bit! Read more
Absolutely a horrible experience at La Fromagerie caused by the bartender! My friend and I were asked to leave the restaurant... tonight, shortly after arriving and ordering our first glass of wine (within 5 mins). Our mistake? We stopped and greetedanother, larger table, of work associates that had clearly been in the restaurant long enough to have been served drinks andappetizers at their table. After we ordered our wine from our very nice waiter (Rigel), the bartender then approached our table,asked if we knew the other table and when we confirmed, My friend and I were rudely told that the restaurant does not allow biggroups to dine in the facility and we would have to leave because we knew each other. Literally, when we walked in, there wereempty tables to utilize, and no wait at all, so why kick paying customers out. Completely dumbfounded. Only after I told ourwaiter that we were in town with 16,000 of our fellow coworkers for a conference, in National Harbor, were we re-approached byour waiter and told that it was ok if we stayed...Seriously, what is wrong with this restaurants customer service! So, We leftas requested and our friends ended up joined us at another restaurant, where we had a lovely and enjoyable meal. We willdefinitely NOT return to this venue again! Read more

Been here multiple times. It's a great cheese and wine place with reasonable prices for Alexandria. Staff is friendly and... knowledgeable! Read more
I was a little hesitant about this place based on the initial interactions with the servers, but the food and wine made it so... worth it. The prices were reasonable for a nice wine and cheese bistro, and the bottle prices were great. The food wasdelicious, and the wine was amazing. Would visit again if I was in the area. Read more
Food is AMAZING! Wine selection is outstanding! The wait staff are all sooooo knowledgeable about pairing wines with each dish... on the menu. This was my 2nd visit and I'll be back every time I'm in Alexandria!!! Read more
Excellent wine and cheese bar. I went on a Thursday night, which happens to be the vintage wine night. They uncork a vintage... wine and the lucky eaters (and drinkers) get to enjoy a wine they normally would never get to try. Eating alone, I asked if the3 or 5 item plate would be better. They recommend 3, which seems small, but is very rich. It was enough. Flavorful and richbeyond belief. I highly recommend the duck prosciutto. It was intense. Try this place! Read more
The charcuterie boards are always impressive, as is the knowledge of the staff. I love how they have both a regular list of... wines and a subset that changes each month to focus on a new region or wine making method. It allows me to explore and trythings I'd likely never try. Read more
