Best French Restaurants in Arlington

It’s pricy but everything is delicious. The service wonderful and on the quieter side, for my elderly aunt.

Another wonderful meal and evening at Pammy’s, this time for a birthday celebration with a party of 5. Price-Fixe menu was great. I loved the Cobia and Squid Ink gnocchi. I was too full to complete the lumache, but took it home and it was excellent the next day. The lamb saddle, yakitori chicken and lasagna also got excellent reviews. Our server was knowledgeable, helpful and attentive.

Time and again - good food, reasonably priced in a pleasant, cozy environment.

Tuesday evening dinner with friends. I had a reservation that was confirmed earlier in the day, but when we arrived the place was bumping and there wasn't a table available? There were many big parties and the back end of restaurant was closed off for an event. Hmmm. There are two managers and one was at a loss. Thankfully the other manager came to us and said there was a table that had just paid and could we wait a moment. We did. I'm glad we waited because we had a table by the window, near the front of the restaurant and away from the hub bub; it was perfect. He thanked us for waiting and our waiter was fantastic; we each had selections from the traditional French menu - so good and beautifully plated. Lovely drinks, we shared the beet salad and a creme brulee. This is my third time eating at Batifol and I am looking forward to my next dinner or brunch there.

Lunch today was a positive experience from being greeted at the welcoming station through the meal. Alberto Petricca is a great host and Allejandro as always is friendly and very reliable and attentive. The food was fine and the ambiance on the second floor is above the average -very lovely, quiet but not without vitality. It was a business lunch and by placing us in a corner table, they were sensitive for the need for some privacy. The price was appropriate. I'll go back for either business or pleasure.
