Restaurants, Pier Dining Proposed For Robinson Landing

ALEXANDRIA, VA—Alexandria Restaurant Partners has proposed restaurants with indoor and outdoor seating at the Robinson Landing development. The Planning Commission will consider the proposals on March 5.

The restaurant group proposes an upscale restaurant serving fine seafood and steaks made on a charcoal grill along with a full bar and extensive wine menu. The restaurant would have 184 indoor seats and 83 patio seats. ARP says the offerings would be similar to The Majestic, one of its current restaurants in Old Town.

The other components are a more casual cafe and outdoor pier dining area. The pier dining area would include seafood offerings, 34 bar seats, 70 lounge seats and 128 table seats. The cafe would have 32 indoor and 32 outdoor seats and a menu including sushi. Some cooking for the pier could occur in the cafe or in an airstream trailer.

The main restaurant had already been approved for the mixed use development, but ARP is seeking to take over ownership. The cafe portion had previously been approved as a retail space. The parcel address for the restaurants is 300 Strand Street.

Robinson Landing is a condominium and townhouse development on the waterfront. Residents will have access to menities such as a waterfront promenade, dining and retail, public waterfront pier, pet grooming spa and more. According to ENR Mid-Atlantic, the full Robinson Landing project could be complete in spring 2020.

If approved by the Planning Commission, the proposals advance to City Council.
