1819 North Lynn Street - Arlington, VA - (703) 528-1323

This restaurant closed in Spring 2000, but maybe it will reopen elsewhere?

PETER:
This restaurant is...how shall I put this...a very big disappointment. The "chips" in chips and salsa were clearly from the bottom of a bag they'd bought on sale from Safeway, and the beef enchilado was sort of like a two day beef curry in a tortilla. With the planes, traffic and Dave Matthews Band covers, it's almost too noisy to talk. Did I mention that the service was dodgy?

BRIDGET:
One comment: gag barf.

CHRISTIAN:
I'm not sure which I like less: listening to the Dave Matthews band play their "songs" or listening to the guy that this place has playing on the outdoor patio on Thursday nights try to do them.  Given a choice, the droning and persisent noise of the airplanes flying overhead is probably the best option.  Definately not a place to spend a relaxing Thursday evening.  The service was better this time than it was the last time we went (kudos to the waitress for the good humored way in which she responded to Peter's concerns about the bowl of crumbs posing as tortilla chips that was brought to our table ("I know this may sound like a strange request, but do you have any bigger chips?")).  The food was okay, but I REALLY don't like having to sit there looking at my plate for 15 minutes after I'm done eating, especially if the place isn't that busy.  The only reason I'd go back is for the $7.44 per person "open bar" party that the menu promises can be arranged for groups of any size (does that include a group of one?)

Also in attendance were Steve and Randy.
