I love the cheese plate here, although at about $40 it is pricy.  The accompaniments are just right and overall it is at least as good as what you would get in a very fancy restaurant.  The sandwiches and macaroni and cheese are strong, and cheaper.  Anything with cheese here will be very good and it is also a nice homey yuppie hangout.  The wine selection is impressive.  This is a limited-purpose restaurant, but it probably should be in your repertoire.<\/p>\n<h3 class='related_post_title'>Related Posts:<\/h3><ul class='related_post'><li><a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/grand-cata-at-mosaic\/\" title=\"Grand Cata at Mosaic\">Grand Cata at Mosaic<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/royal-nepal-restaurant\/\" title=\"Royal Nepal Restaurant\">Royal Nepal Restaurant<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/calabash-african-cuisine-and-bar\/\" title=\"Calabash African Cuisine and Bar\">Calabash African Cuisine and Bar<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/meda-market\/\" title=\"Meda Market\">Meda Market<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/shakthi\/\" title=\"Shakthi\">Shakthi<\/a><\/li><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cheesetique, web site, 2411 Mount Vernon Avenue, Alexandria, VA, 703-706-5300, closes Sunday at 6.
