The Study
4.3 / 5 (482 reviews)

Description

The Morrison House in Old Town Alexandria has recently undergone changes, with mixed reviews. The dining room is sterile, the service can be slow, and the menu offerings are limited. However, the ambiance is lovely, with exceptional food, great small plates, and live piano music. Despite some service issues and limited menu choices, The Study is seen as a hidden gem with a cozy atmosphere and delicious meals, perfect for a special dinner. Some improvements in management and staffing may enhance the overall dining experience at this charming venue.

The food was fantastic and the staff was attentive, provided recommendations, and was very knowledgeable and did a great job of describing both the food and drinks.

My wife and I dined at The Study yesterday evening, 6 September 2024. Our server, Leo, was knowledgeable and attentive without being intrusive and every dish we had was excellent. The Study is a small, quiet restaurant and I highly recommend it if you are seeking an upscale evening out.

We loved our experience at The Study! The food drinks were unique and executed perfectly. If you aren't going there on a Thursday for the Chef's Menu, you are truly missing out! The service was excellent--the perfect balance of being attentive, sharing great recommendations, but not hovering. The aesthetic is perfect--small, cozy, with a little bit of whimsy and a killer piano player whose voice has a hint of John Legend. We will definitely be visiting The Study every time we return to the DC area!

This place is a secret wonder of Old Town, Alexandria. Everything has a literary theme, and the drinks are the absolute best in the city. Manny curated and designed this menu perfectly. And Chef Victor is tending to a mouth watering selection to match.Highly recommend!
