We had eaten at Hank’s in Charleston a few years ago and our experience at Hank’s in Alexandria was equally enjoyable. We started with oysters and clams on the shell, followed by shrimp and grits, ceviche and a side order of green collards. Everything was delicious. The chocolate mousse we shared at the end of our meal was average. We have had better. Overall, it was a great meal. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Omg!! We just had thee best meal we've had in a long time. I mean where our expectations were exceeded in all areas. I don't know why it took us so long to visit as it's been on my list for some years now. We love raw oysters and tonight I wanted some but did feel like going into DC to our favorite spot (Old Ebbitt's) . Hank's came up in the search and we opted for the Old Town location not only because of the reviews but figured parking be a little better. The reviews didn't lie...we greeted, everyone was kind and attentive. We had a great server (sorry I couldn't remember his name but he wore glasses). The only thing I didn't like that much was my drink. I got the OmG Becky, Look- not because it was poorly made. I just didn't like the flavors so much, but it was strong. My husband's frozen Hurricane was delicious. The raw oysters were soooo good. We got a dozen. They were fresh and delicious. Our server knew which ones to suggest based on my description of ones I did not like, since the featured oysters didn't have a description. His suggestions didn't disappoint! The BBQ grilled oysters were so freaking good too! So well cooked and buttery! We also ordered the popcorn shrimp and calamari which my husband said was very delicious. I opted for the Arugula and Radicchio Orange salad which has pomegranates, goat cheeses and candied walnuts. Not a fan of Radicchio but it sounded like a tasty salad. It was sooo delicious! We spent about $143 with tax and I don't regret one dollar spent! We will definitely be back.

Had a very enjoyable dinner. The Sea Scallops were buttery soft, the key lime pie delicious, and the service was outstanding. In fact, a member of our party mentioned our waiter provided the best service she's experienced since being in the DC area. Sorry I can't remember his name, but he was friendly, funny and made the occasion an absolute pleasure. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $30–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

The parking is not bad for 5pm. We are sitting at the rooftop bar with an old-fashioned drink (must order this drink here) The place has great vibes and relaxed atmosphere. The wait staff was friendly, and the food service was quick. The grilled chicken and carrots were cooked well, and the bbq oysters was the signature dish on our table. The cievche was ok, I dont see myself ordering it again. All in all, the restaurant was not bad if you wanted to have happy hour drinks and good vibes.

Quaint neighborhood spot specializing in seafood and American fare. The service was quite attentive, if not coordinated. Not a minus, but one of our party gave her partner an unwanted condiment, and a separate server replaced it. They are also accommodating to substitutions, and would check on us frequently even during weekend brunch rush. My food was pretty good, even surprising. The biscuits and gravy was not drowned as I was expecting. And was sitting on a bed of collard greens, so a different kind of Southern. Overall a good experience and would visit again when in Alexandria. Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4
