Valentine's Day Spotlight: Overwood

Whether you are single or coupled up, some restaurants are offering great menu items for Valentine's Day. Overwood is a restaurant I have been to many times for dinner and brunch and I highly recommend it. Overwood has a rustic decor with an open kitchen and wood fireplace in the back of the restaurant and it's located in the heart of Old Town Alexandria.
