Hank's Pasta Bar - Alexandria

I will only “East Cost Comfort Food” to it is beautiful! the oysters came out quickly and very freshly. great variety of oysters, from the sprinkling delicacies to the delicate hauch of the sea. not sleeping on the lobster rolls and chowder, everything is good here!

That was delicious. so fresh and amazing. the seafood plateau is worth it! everything tasted amazing and definitiw worth a try. our server was phenomenal and very attentive. he made us welcome and made the whole culinary experience great.

Delicious cocktails and friendly service. the seafood plateau was good as a great appetizer or a small meal to share for two people. oysters are excellent!

When I saw the well-known round sign, I got a wish for one of the lobster rolls of hank. I decided to take server bradys rat and get wobble rings instead of pommes. I usually don't spend so much on lunch, but it was worth every penny.

Been meaning to go here for a while and it did not disappoint! First off, the cocktails were fantastic. My table had 5 different ones and all were the best versions of themselves. The fig one and 'Sage against the Machine ' really stood out for me. Raw oysters were phenomenal. 5 varieties in stock and we tried 3, all of which had depth of flavor in their own way. The mussel pot small plate was the star of the show. The mussels themselves were plump and uniform in probably the best sauce I 've had in the area. Had 6 different seafood small plates and my only two complaints were: Lobster bisque wasn 't really a bisque but more of a regular soup (translucent w/ no cream). Still good but wouldn 't advertise it as a bisque. Old bay French fries were mediocre and underseasoned. Our server was exceptional. Helped us select oysters based on our palate and never felt like we were waiting on anything. It was amazing to finally see a smiling face as well. Definitely coming back!
