Dave Sumner SmithSeptember 15, 2014Good location. Really interesting menu. Very good food. Friendly service. If only it didn't look like a 70's diner!
Wine discounts on the "bottle only" list in the dining room Sunday through Wednesday evenings. 50% off on Sunday, 40% on Monday, 30% on Tuesday and 20% on Wednesday!
They do a Beer Dinner here about once a month. Check the website (www.thelighthorserestaurant.com) for more info.
For all you vegans and vegetarians out there- The dip that comes with the sweet potato fries has bacon in it! Read more
CurbFebruary 23, 2012Welcome Alexandria Top Riders! Grab a drink, enjoy some grub, and have fun hanging out with the Taxi Magic crew!
RebeccaApril 12, 2010Fabulous and tiny, simple with live music ranging from smoky jazz to Beatles covers, good beer & decent harder alcohol selections.
Go on Fridays for a great DJ and Saturday's get there a bit before 10 for a table and a great band.- Michele BartramDecember 3, 2011Great crabcake sandwich but the soup was cold and the service slow even at an off hour... but sounds like a raucous party upstairs in the bar area
