The best thing about this restaurant is the view of the Alexandria waterfront. Otherwise, it is very ordinary. Food we had was fried and greasy and service was just so-so. We are locals, not tourists, but we will not be returning.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're disappointed to hear that your dining experience didn't meet expectations. While we're glad you enjoyed the waterfront view, we regret that the fried items you ordered were greasy and that our service fell short. Your comments are valuable to us as we continuously work to improve both our food quality and service standards. We hope you'll consider giving us another opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future.

I heard the crab hush puppies were a must-try, and they did not disappoint. I also tried the crab chowder, and it was phenomenal. One of the best chowders I have ever had. My guest had the lobster roll and liked it a lot. I had the shrimp/oyster po boy sandwich. It was too much bread and needed more shrimp and oysters. But it was very tasty. Francine, our server, was top-notch!

Thank you for visiting Vola's Dockside Grill and for taking the time to share your experience! We're thrilled you loved our crab hush puppies and crab chowder - they're definitely guest favorites! It's wonderful to hear your guest enjoyed the lobster roll as well. We appreciate your feedback about the shrimp/oyster po boy sandwich and will share your thoughts with our kitchen team about the bread-to-filling ratio. We're so glad Francine provided you with excellent service - we'll be sure to pass along your kind words to her! We hope to welcome you back soon for another delicious meal.
