Best Cocktail Bars in Arlington

Went there for the first time last night on Valentine’s Day. This is one of the new restaurants that has opened up in the alewife area now that there’s a lot of housing. They have nice friendly staff, but the service is a bit slow because they seemed understaffed with waiters. They have a bar shuffleboard table that’s kinda nice. Wasn’t crazy about the cocktail choices. Place seems to mostly cater to youger couples and our families with kids who live in the area. Food is average in my opinion, but not overpriced as the most expensive entrée is $31 and most are in the mid 20s. Also if you’re vegan or vegetarian, there aregood options here. The empanadas were very tasty. The dumplings are really thick on the dough and chewy  and then my wife, and I agreed that the vegetarian filling was a bit dry so you really needed to have with the spicy dipping sauce. The Bolognese was massively overcooked, and while the flavor of the sauce was good the pasta was an absolute mush. That dish was the biggest disappointment for me. The shaved brussels sprouts salad was quite tasty though with halloumi. I probably won’t go back as it’s not my scene and I prefer a higher level of dining. 

We liked the wusong very much yesterday. Besides, the next day was my birthday and they left a birthday present on my table. and they gave me a birthday dessert.everything was amazing i appreciated it.

Lunch at Shy Bird is always delicious and lively! Lots of people talking and meeting up to discuss high energy projects.

Myself and my 2 friends met for Lunch. They each had steak tips, asparagus and new potatoes. I had a beet salad with goat cheese, fennel, candied walnuts and added Shrimp.(3). The quantities are large so we all had take home leftovers. The flavors were good. Our server was very attentive and organized. We will certainly come back again.

Henry and Brittani were so amazing and knowledgeable. The ambiance was everything and the food was AMAZING. you’ve got to try and the squash and apple suppli (unreal) and seriously the draft dirty martini with the Calabrian chile olives was delicious.
