This place is okay. A group of friends and I went a few days ago over the weekend for the first time. The positives: - Random and interesting decor. Upon entering, you are welcomed by a human sized bunny. It is creepy yet funny at the same time. Touches like this add something unique to the experience. - The menu offers a variety of choices. - The prices for most food items and drinks are reasonable. Cocktails were $6. - The waiter was really nice and even allowed us to have separate checks. - The Moroccan Chicken Skewers were good. The Meh - The pierogies were okay, but I wasn't a huge fan of the outside texture. The ones here had a tough texture on the outside. - I tried someone else's jerk meatballs and was very disappointed. The seasoning in the meatballs lacked salt and jerk seasoning. They really just tasted like plain straight from the freezer meatballs to me. They were not good at all and I would not recommend them.

Nice little place but the room was very loud. Decor was definitely unique. Fried Mac n cheese app was tasty but pretty dark and over fried. Broccoli cheddar soup was also tasty but super thick not even really a liquid. Chicken wings were good, tender meat crispy skin. Prime rib sandwich was great, soft ciabatta roll nice meat, sauce and onions, not light on serving but could've been fuller. Tater tots were ok, just like you'd make at home..plain old tot. Homemade chips as all are...thick plain and over cooked. Everything was hot and the service quick. Quick walk from hotel so a hit for us.

Great service and super friendly staff but oh my.. the food !! Why is it so nasty ? This place is great , awesome location , very great staff but please get a new chef ! I had Pierogis which should be straight forward but not here... at Arlington's they have to bath in nasty oil. Are they frozen then reheated ? Please ask the chef to drain the oil and to drink it. I want him/her to know how it feels going down. Next I went with their new Orange avocado / tasteless salad. I mean come on ! It is a salad !! You can screw that up. Well guess what.. do I need to say it, they did. It's plain and tasteless and the avocado was hard as a rock. Forgot to mention the coffee... it was so light I can't even call it coffee. The food there is horrible and probably the worse I had in several years. Don't go there unless you are having a drink and it better not be coffee !

So happy to have found this place. The decor is great, there are beautiful rooms. The menu has something for everyone. We tried the fresh homemade Potato Chips - wow! Great flavors and delicious. The drinks are cheap, and strong. I had the Buleit Rye, and it was amazing. $6 for cocktails! Since we had some deep fried State Fair food we went with their salads, Apple and Pear with goat cheese, chicken breast in a cranberry-walnut vinaigrette, and I added the house made Parmesan-Tomato Bacon bits - to die for! One of the best Salads I ever had. We will definitely be back for lunch! Highly recommend

Hhhmmm...Arlington's, there is something about it that draws you in but doesn't quite sell well or comfortably, at least for me, I'm not sure. I've visited twice now and I didn't do a review the first time because I just didn't get a vibe of satisfaction. From the entrance to seating the place appears to be clean and the people friendly, so I'm not sure what makes this an odd mix for me. I don't know if it's an intended or accidental awkwardness by the owner. Let me explain... The environment seems, I don't know maybe a bit eclectic??? In what I'll describe as "the pit" there are chairs hanging on the walls with wired bodies resembling humans. There are also tv monitors on the wall that show picture slides of the the inside of the restaurant, which you are already inside of if your viewing the monitor. Why would I need to watch a slide show of the place I'm in and able to move about freely? IDK??? Oh, and near the entrance, as you walk in, there is a mannequin dressed and sitting as if it/she is waiting to be seated at a table. It's a bit heavy on the spiritual side, to me...not a heavenly, sense, at all. But in another area it has the black and white tile floor and feels like a diner. And then there is the stealth bar made of solid wood, classic, "Coyote Ugly" setting if you know what I mean. So, there is definitely this hodgepodge arrray of external stimuli. Eclectic bistro meets, small diner, meets local bar...but somehow the decor suggests there should be a grand piano somewhere in the background, being gently played by a well dressed musician. I guess in this manner they have a space for all kinds. Let me move on and review the service. On both occasions the server was appropriate. The first visit I was alone, my server was female, Becky, I think was her name. She was very pleasant and helpful. At both visits, the servers appeared knowledgeable about the menu and the food served. On the second visit, though, I was with two colleagues. The server was male. I'm not sure if he is racist, or had just never really engaged with African Americans before but he couldn't keep us and our orders and request straight, to save his life. He was never overtly rude or condescending, he just seemed to struggle with identifying us as individuals. He was pleasant enough though, no warrant for any complaints at all. The food. Hhhhmmm...I have to say, it is as unpredictable as the rest of the experience. On the first visit I was fascinated by the menu and the aroma's in the air. I ordered the Moroccan Chicken Skewers as an appetizer and the Spicy Southwest Chicken Wrap as the entree. I didn't care for either of the dips that came with the food they both tasted like mildly seasoned mayonnaise, there was little change to taste or consistency even though one was referred to as aioli. The chicken skewers had an after taste of cinnamon but had no other distinctive flavor, lacking both salt and pepper. So, it was a bit bland. The chicken wrap was ok. Not spectacular, not bad, just ok. It had all the appropriate toppings and was wrapped and plated well. The seasoning again was a bit too light leaving it a bit bland and the dip tasting like mayo didn't quite make it any more impressive. But!!! They made up for it in the second visit...if there is a cheese sandwich to be had, The Gourmet Cheese Sandwich is to die for. I had it with a side salad which was not just iceberg, cucumber and baby tomatoes. Thank you for that! The side salad was refreshing and filling and the grilled cheese with tomato reduction, grilled onions and seasoned/flavored bacon!!! Yess. Note: order it with extra bacon, I did that in advance and I was glad I did. Yummm. As for the others, one of my colleagues brags of the black and blue burger. She reports it is heavenly with the blue cheese crumbles. It is her go to and it is what she had on the day of our visit. Let's just say both of our plates were clean and there were no doggy bags for us. The third party on my second visit had the Philly Steak soup and a grilled chicken sandwich. She raved of the soups flavor and heartiness but took the chicken sandwich to go quietly...I don't know what that was about but the soup was clearly a winner. So there you have it. A different kind of meal in a different kind of place in a different kind of location. Arlington's gets an A for its efforts toward a unique experience. I will return again. The food is reasonably priced and the menu is worthy of further exploration.

The Arlington's ambience is great...like stepping back in time with modern conveniences. The bar is semi-rustic with two TVs. At 11:15am they weren't busy so many staff members were occupying the wait station near the bar area. We were seated by a very polite hostess. The only issue with the staff at this point were the two bus persons conversing in the dining area, the older clearly disgruntled. The server was very kind, with a welcoming smile. She took awhile to notice our lack of utensils but I'm not sure if that was her job or the hostesses. The server was clearly unfamiliar with the menu, but the place just openned 2 weeks ago. However, the server did remove my Sprite from the table to refill it...a no-no in the restaurant business. The only major issue was when she played with a toddler at the next table (I think she knew the mother and child) and rubbed the child's food covered t-shirt. She then returned to her post at the wait station until it was time to tend to us again...never washing her hands. A sanitation violation. The food was very well prepared, the only thing allowing me to give 2 stars. Chicken skewers had alot of rosemary. The blackened chicken was perfect in the Spicy Wrap! My wife had a sandwich and raved about it. So, we will try it again. The issues seem isolated. Look for the updated review soon!
