What is the deal with Bistro Europa, on King Street in Alexandria? We've been there twice, and each time we went we were literally the only customers in the restaurant. Admittedly, we like to dine earlier than most people. We probably got there yesterday between 5:30 and 6:00. It was spooky. By the time we left, getting towards 7:00, there were a party of two and a group of six. The food is excellent. They have a good selection of German beers. My wife is the wine authority, but she found something she was pleased with. Is their business really that slow, or do people just come when we're not there? http://www.bistro-europa.com/index.html Dav Vandenbroucke davanden at cox dot net

The big problem for me is parking. While the Mrs and I do like the food there are too many other good restaurants in NOVA that either have their own parking or like in the case of Bilbo Baggins there is a lot directly across the street.

The big >problem for me is parking.... There's plenty of parking, but Old Town does little to direct people to the nearest garage. IMO, the food at Cafe Europa is good, not great. The problem is that the place has no one with personality running the front of the restaurant. Without that, the place lacks identity and people don't come back. -- Larry

I can understand someone feeling like that, but if that were the reason, then every restaurant on King Street would be similarly empty. As it is, I generally take Metro when I go out, and so that isn't an issue for me. Dav Vandenbroucke davanden at cox dot net
