Lonely Planet review

Set in a former 18th-century tavern, Gadsby's is named after the Englishman who operated the tavern from 1796 to 1808 (it was then the center of Alexandria's social life). This place tries hard to emulate an 18th-century hostelry. The overall effect is rather kitsch but it's all good, clean and historical fun. Besides, who isn't curious to try 'George Washington's Favorite,' duck stuffed with tart fruit and topped with sweet Madeira gravy?
