Saturday night at 6 pm, the restaurant was full. The parking lot had a wait, so it was suggested we go inside where there was no wait. We went inside and were told that it would be a 20 minute wait. When I stated we were told there was no wait inside, I was told "we just filled up"... well, it was a Sat night at 6pm so that makes sense. We were given one of those flying saucer discs that flash lights when they want you to return. And, eventually it went off (17 minutes). We were seated at a 4 top (3 in my party) and I noticed all booths were filled since plastic dividers had been added between booths. No more staggered seating. Our waitress was Carolina (pronounced Karo-Lean-A) who was very nice. One of the party has Celiac disease, so we needed to know what had gluten. When she rattled off the dressings for the salad, She said the house was ok. I asked why she didn't check on the other dressings, and she said she knew this one was safe, and didn't want to take a chance on information from the kitchen. We got a NY strip and 2 Filets. One personal issue I have is, the waitstaff don't offer you a vegetable, they automatically opt for a salad, then you get a starch and your protein. Veg is a 2.99 upcharge, or you can forgo the salad, but they never tell you that. The restaurant also has no soup or chowder available. The food is ok, not great, not bad just ok. the best thing is the vegetables which are of good size and generally well cooked, but not mushy. definitely worth the small upcharge. The bill with 1 coffee, and 1 glass of red, and 3 rice puddings was 110+ with the tip and tax 132.+ We left 140.00. The waitress expressed her gratitude, saying that it was much appreciated. I worked as a waiter one summer before starting college, and since then I have always overtripped. It's a thankless job. Bottom line, This is a bit pricy for "choice quality" meats. The restaurant obviously has a good following among the denizens of Arlington, and if a step up from the 99. But at these prices it should be better than it is. 3 stars.
