Best Fun Restaurants in Arlington

Great energy and beautiful restaurant! Food was amazing and drinks were top class!!! Recommend the croquettes, the ceviche, the muscles, and the duck confit rolls. For drinks, try the chocolate carajllo and the after hours! Will be back!!

We had a great dinner at City Works during a recent visit to Boston. We were staying at the Residence Inn and were able to walk from the hotel. The area is quite nice with lots of shops and other restaurants. It was festively decorated with holiday lights. We sat at a high top and enjoyed the many screens to watch games. Mario was our server. He was attentive and helpful. I had Spicy Shrimp Skewers - a Chef’s Favorite item - and my husband had the Grilled Chicken Sandwich with fries. Both were excellent. We really enjoyed the warm Chocolate Cookie served in a cast iron skillet with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream for dessert. Highly recommend City Works!

Terra is an absolute masterpiece of a restaurant! The Italian food here is nothing short of spectacular—every dish is crafted to perfection, and the flavors are unforgettable. The wine selection is equally impressive, with thoughtful pairings that elevate the dining experience to a whole new level. A special shoutout to our server, Vinicius, who made the evening truly extraordinary. His knowledge of the menu, attention to detail, and warm, professional demeanor added so much to our experience. He went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, and we left feeling absolutely spoiled. If you’re looking for exceptional Italian cuisine, an incredible wine list, and top-tier service, Terra is the place to be. Highly recommend!

Very much enjoyed our experience at Uni. Dishes are “tasting-sized” which makes for a great variety and a different awakening of your taste buds with each dish.

I went on a solo date and had a wonderful time! The service was excellent, and I enjoyed dining with some friendly strangers. The cook at the table did a fantastic job of interacting with everyone and impressed us all. I will do this again!
