Ava was our waitress. She was absolutely phenomenal. Starting from the time we walked through the door she catered to her every need. She knew the menu front and back inside and out. She explained every dish that we questioned, every drink that we had a question about She had an answer .
She also had a very vast pilot herself, as she had tried many of the dishes on the menu and could tell us about the taste and the flavor and the ingredients in each one .
We went with some of her personal favorites and they ended up being winners! Absolutely yummy delicious we did not leave anything on our plates .
I had a fried California roll, and we had a fried tempura. Absolutely amazing. The strawberry shortcake dessert was delightful .
The drinks where the martinis and flavored lemonade and ginger ale everything was refreshing and so delicious. The ambience is perfect. The low lighting sets the mood, very calm environment and peaceful you're able to have a conversation and listen to the company that you are keeping or just to have a quiet mind for a moment and enjoy good food .
Thoroughly enjoyed this meal would definitely return multiple times.
Again the waitress Ava, young lady was absolutely phenomenal and I attribute the five-star rating to most of her performance that evening with her knowledge, understanding and patience and personability.

Great experience at cultivate! Truly enjoyed the service. When you initially walk in you stand in line, and wait to go to the counter to place your order. So you will grab a menu when you walk in Peru's over the menu so you can find exactly what you want, and know exactly what you want before you get to the counter. The line is long, but it goes fast. Once you have made your order and paid for your food at the counter, you will take your number and go find a seat in the restaurant on your own. Then they will bring you the food out. We ordered pretty quickly after paying. We stood in line for about 20 minutes, paid for our food and additional 10 minutes and then went and got seated. Our food probably came out about 15 to 20 minutes after we place our order which was not bad at all. I had a creamsicle smoothie, it was not to my liking however someone else may like it I added whipped cream on top and that was pretty good but the drink itself just melted and got watered down really quick so it wasn't tasty. I had the basil leaf lemonade. It was delicious. I thoroughly enjoyed that I probably should have gotten that to begin with. One guest had a french toast and the vegan scramble.. the French toast was delicious with the glaze and just enough confectionery sugar on the top the toast was very soft but yet crunchy around the edges which made it even better, and also the vegan scramble was delicious. There was absolutely no issues with that and I enjoyed the vegetarian scramble and the potato cakes. The potato cakes were phenomenal! Cooked to perfection. The veggie Scrambler was delicious as well I would have enjoyed some type of sauce to go with it it's kind of dry a little bit because it's just egg scramble with lots of veggies and cheese but you still need some type of sauce especially if you don't have enough cheese in the scramble. Other than that our service was great we were there probably a total of an hour and 45 minutes so that is not bad for a visit. This was our second time attending this location.
We attended a birthday celebration at this location. From the beginning of the time we were there the service was a pretty prompt with a drink orders being taken. Appetizers were ordered. About 20 minutes later we instructed the waiter and waitress that we would like to go ahead and place our entree orders.
After the entire party of 16 placed their entree orders, we realize we were waiting a pretty good amount of time before any food came out. We ordered approximately at 7:00 p.m., our entrees did not start coming out until 7:57 p.m. that is a bit too long to wait for food. We get that it is a large party, and there were only two servers to our section. However, waiting for everyone's meals to come out at the same time put a large gap in time that we received our food. We watched tables around us receive their food after arriving after our party. That was a bit discouraging.
I had the black blue black mac and cheese, and it was not tasty at all it was very much flavorless and just tasted like butter noodles. And not even a good version of that. I had their mashed potatoes that were decent I could tell they were not instant pretty much homemade as possible. I also had a Caesar salad that was delicious. Can't really go wrong with a all natural Caesar salad. A couple of gas had their seafood pasta that was delicious. Very flavorful. And you get a lot of it very filling.
One of the drinks pictured in the photos is a tequila sunrise, That was very tasty. The other drinks at the table were t, ginger ale and sodas. Once the food all came out I did not hear many complaints about Flavor other than the mac and cheese.
We also concluded our meal around 8:00-25 p.m. and requested to pay per check, and the server said everyone needs to be on one check, which was not disclosed to us in the beginning. Therefore we had to speak with a manager in reference to putting our order separately.
While waiting on our checks to be delivered, we sang Happy birthday. Realize it had been about 20 minutes since we had the servers bring out the birthday cake and we were still waiting for our checks. The new paragraph need list to say the Ambiance was very pleasant all in all the service was just okay the servers were kind and communicated well that was just too much laps and time between ordering and receiving your food. Also if patrons need to pay a particular way with large parties, it should be disclosed at the beginning of ordering. Disclose this with whomever is responsible for the reservation.
All in all, I would return to this location. However I probably would not return with a large party.
Outside I'm being too very cozy nice and neat patio covered area very welcoming for an outside meal with friends and family.

Old Town Alexandria was absolutely amazing!
On the weekends you can park for free roadside. Then you walk into the Old Town Alexandria Area to patio Restaurant eating, Street dancing, guitarist playing in the street, loud jazz music entertaining sightseers and passers by, you had your salsa dancing in the street, lots of pedestrians walking in the middle of the street and entered entertaining and enjoying entertainment going on around them. There was probably a total of five or six beautiful wonderful ice cream shops that look quite delightful.
Several shops of all kinds of antiques, clothing, shoes different apparel jewelry that were storefront, various restaurants and bars from your three star restaurant and bar to your five-star restaurant and bar, as you approach the pier it was just absolutely beautiful the water and seeing all of the boats, there's a lot of entertainment activity going on all around you and the short area where the water is.
There was a DJ playing in the middle right before the water that was entertaining everyone.
You can bring your family down and enjoy a picnic order food they were individuals also with our laptops up and doing some work. The Ducks were very friendly and they would be coming right up to you to be fed. It was absolutely beautiful, calming and peaceful! Wonderful family atmosphere perfect for date night and just getting out and taking it easy. A great place for a girls night for dinner and a good time. Great safe walking environment for family and friends.
I thoroughly enjoyed myself I am in town visiting and this is some place I will definitely come back to. I enjoyed myself in the Tranquility of it all. Parking can be a hassle, because it is a very busy area and you will need to find parking on a street around near you. You will pay meters if you park during the week but on the weekend you can park dang near for free I think it's like $1.50 for 2 hours or something of that nature.
