- IIntelqubedvipWashington, D.C. Area •137 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoMade a reservation here for a quick lunch and was seated at the bar. Definitely a restaurant that is going for a little bit of a retro look. Pretty nice. Good wine selection and good lunch options. Interestingly enough they had 'brunch' options for a weekday lunch. A welcoming development in menu options. I went for the salmon benedict with roasted fingerling potatoes. The food was good. The benedict was exactly what is was supposed to be. I will also say this, they really, really make a perfectly done potato. Crisp outside, fluffy inside. Memorable. The bartender made sure you got your order in and that you had everything you needed. Great service.More infoThe MajesticPrice: Moderate• American• Alexandria•4.5
