Even though there is a somewhat cramped dining space, the food makes up for lack of room. The frickles with the remoulade sauce for dipping are a great salty fried appetizer. The portions are hearty at dinner, especially the steak entrees that come with two sides and an optional sauce. Deserts are wonderful so save room for some comfy American-style treats. The bill was a bit shocking, but the food was worth the price in the end.

I was taking a group of people (11) from all over the country. The folks from Texas and Oklahoma were "blown away" by the quality of the steaks - outstanding! Our large group received prompt attention - meal service was excellent. From appetizers to dessert the evening was a hit - everyone is looking forward to another trip when in the area. The Del Merei Grille did a superb job warming up folks on a cold January night.

This is a new restaurant in the Del Ray section of Alexandria. We were there for a fundraiser for a candidate for sherrif. While probably an unusual evening, the food was outstanding! For a new spot, the service was excellent. Lots of variety on the menu - I had the tenderloin with one of the sauces - cheese grits and collard greens - excellent! My wife had the salmon - also a great choice. This is a fun spot - we look forward to frequent visits.
