Dined on Apr 14, 2025
This restaurant was in a building next to our hotel in Arlington, so easy to walk to. The ratings on Open Table were better than on Yelp and I think this is because Open Table is more of the dinner crowd vs lunch or breakfast. I am responding for dinner - delicious. Good pasta, pizza (aka flatbread on this menu) and wine. Fun lighting throughout the restaurant, great bar.
