Party of 8 + baby and they sat us in the booth that was circular. It felt like our conversations were just for us. The room was full of customers but the sound stayed moderate. It was quite magical. Had a beautiful brunch, it was delicious and the price point was amazing. We all felt grateful to be together and dining at such a special place. Thank FF and staff

About what I expected. Excellent clam chowder - my test of a seafood restaurant. I would have liked to have seen a wider choice of fish on the menu, but the cod I had was very good.

We were celebrating a birthday and this restaurant was just perfect. The ambiance was inviting and the staff were top notch. Professional yet unobtrusive. Michael was our server and he was great. Knowledgable and friendly. We will definitely be back for another dining experience. PS: the complementary birthday dessert was very tasty!

We always bring our out-of-town visitors to Ruthie's All-Day - whether it is for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. Today's lunch special - a pulled chicken sandwich with white barbeque sauce, cheese and crispy onions - was a hit with our guest. Ruthie's remains the best go-to dining venue in Arlington!
