Dandy Restaurant Cruises - by bloomspot Staff Writers

Experience such classic Washington sights as the Lincoln and Washington Monuments, the Kennedy Center and the Watergate Hotel from a whole new perspective with an evening dinner cruise aboard the Nina's Dandy. Inspired by the venerable luxury riverboats of Europe, Nina's Dandy was specially designed to cruise under the dramatic low-arched stone bridges that span the Potomac River before returning to beautiful, historic Old Town Alexandria.

Guests to the Nina's Dandy are greeted upon boarding by the tinkling of keys from a grand piano. As the journey begins, enjoy a cocktail and take in the beauty of the centuries-old center of commerce as seen from the decks of long-ago merchant ships. Then, watch as storied landmarks glide past your window as you feast on prime rib, shrimp stuffed with crab, or one of the other delectable entrees prepared on-board by world-class chefs. Finally, you’ll have the choice of venturing out onto the 464 square-foot marble dance floor to sway to the best tunes from every generation, or enjoying the sights once more from a quiet corner of the 3,700 square-foot upper deck.

The pioneers of fine dining on the Potomac, Dandy Restaurant Cruises prides itself on more than twenty-six years of memory-making experience. “For the most romantic lunch or dinner,” its hosts aver, “a night on the water beats a night on the town.”
