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.

    Filomena celebrates every holiday with exuberance! Christmas did not disappoint. The decorations are over the top as they do with every holiday!!! I have been here three times now, experienced three holiday themes and my third meal. Today I had the Agnolotti Alla Carbonara and added chicken and for dessert Filomena Cannoli. Sooooo delicious! I have never been disappointed by the food, service or portion sizes when I visit. Today was no different! Chef’s Kiss 😘

    Christmas Eve dinner at OEG is a 24-year tradition for my daughter and me. As always, the food was awesome. My daughter and I were quite surprised and disappointed by the lackluster greeting and overall experience when we walked in. The word "dismissive" comes to mind. Because our previous experiences were fabulous, I will look at this visit as a "one-off" one. Merry Christmas and a Happy 2025!!!

    The food was excellent and the service was great. Ruthies is very noisy making it somewhat hard to hear the server and talk at the table. It is still a wonderful restaurant and one of my favorites in Arlington.
