Best French Restaurants in Arlington

Good service and friendly. Food is good but not great

Another wonderful meal and evening at Pammy’s, this time for a birthday celebration with a party of 5. Price-Fixe menu was great. I loved the Cobia and Squid Ink gnocchi. I was too full to complete the lumache, but took it home and it was excellent the next day. The lamb saddle, yakitori chicken and lasagna also got excellent reviews. Our server was knowledgeable, helpful and attentive.

From the moment I was greeted with until the moment I left, I had the best meal experience I have had in my 20+ years going to Mistral. The service, the atmosphere, and the food were terrific, making it a wonderful evening out.

Time and again - good food, reasonably priced in a pleasant, cozy environment.

Tuesday evening dinner with friends. I had a reservation that was confirmed earlier in the day, but when we arrived the place was bumping and there wasn't a table available? There were many big parties and the back end of restaurant was closed off for an event. Hmmm. There are two managers and one was at a loss. Thankfully the other manager came to us and said there was a table that had just paid and could we wait a moment. We did. I'm glad we waited because we had a table by the window, near the front of the restaurant and away from the hub bub; it was perfect. He thanked us for waiting and our waiter was fantastic; we each had selections from the traditional French menu - so good and beautifully plated. Lovely drinks, we shared the beet salad and a creme brulee. This is my third time eating at Batifol and I am looking forward to my next dinner or brunch there.
