Chart House

If you want a restaurant with a view, this is your spot. Whether you are inside enjoying the air conditioning or outside on the patio, this Alexandria, Va. venue has picturesque views of the waterfront. You'll want to tell your waiter to give you more than just a few moments to look over their seafood-heavy menu. With choices like spiced ahi, lemon herb crusted salmon, snapper Hemingway and baked stuffed shrimp, it is really hard to chose! Those who prefer meat will find prime rib, filet mignon and paneed chicken available. A must have is their signature dessert – hot chocolate lava cake which takes about 30 minutes to make.
