New Alexandria Restaurant Northside 10 Sets New Opening Date
A new date was chosen for the opening of new Alexandria restaurant due to some typical delays associated with opening a new business.
ALEXANDRIA, VA -- Hungry? Soon you'll be able to check out a new restaurant opening around town. The opening for new Alexandria restaurant Northside 10 is Monday, Jan. 16, one of the owners of the restaurant said Monday. The doors will open next Monday at 11 a.m. and close at midnight. The new eatery's name is a play on its address, 10 E. Glebe Road in Alexandria (see map below). The owners also run popular Southside 815 on the other end of Alexandria, at 815 S. Washington St.
The owners say their goal is to create a friendly neighborhood gathering spot, serving up a menu that will embrace customer favorites. In addition to a place to gather to watch sports in the restaurant bar, the owners have said they are also excited about creating special culinary family-friendly events, like oyster roasts, for the neighborhood.
The new restaurant will be opening at the location of former longtime Alexandria institution Chez Andrée. The family-run French restaurant was a go-to spot for many Alexandria residents for more than 50 years when it closed its doors last year.
