  • Counseling points: we were seated pretty fast but consider making a reservation

We took a hike to Alexandria on Labor Day! We worked up a sweat and an appetite from the walk so we wanted a nice chill place to eat outside. The weather was great as it’s a little cooler than usual. We came across this gem on the Alexandria waterfront! I love the background story of the restaurant.. and how special Vola was to the community; Our server, Giovanni, told us some history about the restaurant which made me appreciate the restaurant even more. You can find out more about her story here.

Giovanni took care of us and he was awesome! I had a passionfruit Mojito and (idk what cocktail babe got) in addition we had the grilled shrimp tacos and the bourbon glaze salmon… Delicious! and I almost forgot those oysters… My favorite was definitely the rotating oyster from Canada 🍁!! 🤤

Vola’s also has a nice happy hour menu including $2 oysters, $4 beers, $6-7 cocktails, and a few highlighted bar bites that are $9 or less per dish!
