We’re glad you’re here! This a very special restaurant for us, located in the heart of our community, and
named after a woman who shaped Alexandria through her passionate commitment to Civil Rights, Animal
Rights, and Good Government. We’d like to thank the Lawson family for their support, and acknowledge our
community partners ACT for Alexandria, and the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria - our community’s
non-profit that runs the Vola Lawson Animal Shelter and animal services for the City. Please consider
supporting their efforts as well.
