   We went to Cafe Colline for our anniversary. Our entrees were wonderful and the service was attentive. We had a very nice time and enjoyed our time there.

   Cafe Colline is a gem - nearly disguised by a suburban strip mall. It is delightful in every way - including perfectly executed menu and mouth watering French cuisine

   Food was excellent. Service was not very attentive. We had to ask for plates for our appetizer. When we went there for our anniversary last time they treated us to a dessert and sparking wine for us both. So thoughtful! I put it on our reservation it was our 25th anniversary and nothing this year. They didn’t even say a word sadly. It was such a lovely gesture last time. Being a local restaurant for us we felt like they couldn’t care less we celebrated with them this time. Will be going elsewhere for our next special occasion.

   This restaurant is a neighborhood gem! We have visited many times and it is definitely one of the best in Arlington. All of the fish dishes are beautifully prepared and we have many favorite starters -- the chèvre with honey, the smoked trout rillette, and so much more. The house salad is perfect from the bib lettuce to the excellent vinigarette.

   Very nice neighborhood restaurant. Small, tables were all filled, so a bit noisy. Prices are reasonable. Have a few gluten free options and can adjust other items. Food was basically good to very good, but a couple little off-notes. Smoked trout appetizer was too salty. Cod entree had a nice sauce ,but was supposed be accompanied by leeks but instead came with spinach with no warning. Creme brulee was well done with nice sugar crust. My spouse enjoyed the onion soup and potato crusted salmon entree. However, said the raspberry sorbet was very bland.

   We went on a Monday night and it was quieter than usual which was nice. The service was good. I had the special dish of the month which was a roast cod - it was excellent. My wife had the mussels which were good. We had the Bibb salad which was very large - you could share one salad. The only thing we missed was bread - kind of unusual for a French restaurant not to provide a nice crusty bread.
