The locals know that ambiance matters just as much for a girls’ weekend and our restaurants have just that. Whether you’re sipping mimosas on Magnolia Blue’s rooftop or enjoying tomato bisque soup at the impeccably designed Alexandria’s Bistro 1605, the foods, drinks, and aesthetic will be unmatched.
