8. Ruthie's All-Day

Exceptional(3283)

$$$$Price: Moderate

• American • Arlington

Booked 151 times today

The menu follows a Southern-fried meat-and-three concept, meaning diners order a meat, plus three sides. Those will include Ruthie’s mac and cheese, of course, but also white-soy-braised greens, stewed chickpeas and smoked cauliflower with a spicy soy glaze. “We’re going to be changing it a lot based on seasonality,” Hill says of the menu. “ Every vegetable has got to be fantastic because it has to stand on its own.” One thing that will help that: Hill is already growing all of the restaurant’s own herbs at his South Arlington community garden plot.

Lyon Hall continues to outperform. Just when you think you may get tired, the menu offers new options and the service continues to excel. The Belgian bistro vibe is one of my favorites and it continues to be a “go to”for both personal and business meals. Bravo to the team at Lyon Hall.

Love Godfrey’s—it reminds me of (albeit larger) cafes and shared spaces in Europe. Food is generally good (breakfast is my favorite). I live close by, so I can pop in, but having the option for reservations is tremendously helpful. ,
