    Hands down the best seafood we've ever eaten. We had the crab cake appetizer and then split the stuffed lobster tails. Wow. The cheesecake was also good but I wish we would have asked for no seasonal (strawberry) topping as it was wonderful plain. Our server was excellent. Wish we could have gone there twice when we were in town.

    This restaurant & bar is probably the most upscale in Arlington without any “stuffy” feeling/vibe. Darker lighting (with small table lights to see menu) makes for a nice ambience. I have been here several times for lunch and dinner. My favs are the chicken sausage flatbread, Bourbon steak tips, Bolognese, beet salad. The burger beef is high quality and cooked perfectly but tends to lack flavor (tried twice); a simple touch of salt and pepper would make it tastier. Some Thursdays they have live jazz. Cocktails are made well. Service has always been super — attentive and friendly. Will continue to go back a couple times a month.
