Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Arlington

Trade was a wonderful experience last night. The menu was an excellent presentation of Greek and mediterranean options done in a traditional yet unique way. Not every restaurant is capable of creating traditional dishes with a different twist, but Trade can. We had the octopus, the spanakopita and greek salad to share as starters. The portions are not big, but the value is in the ingredients that made each dish fresh and mouthwatering. They are common dishes in Greece but Trade elevates them. I could not wait to try the vegetarian moussaka. The dish was one I woke forget. Chefs did a beautiful job using herbs, lentils, eggplants, potatoes and the yummy bechamel sauce to create the wonderful flavours. My husband ordered the meatballs and they were filled with excellent flavor. My daughter ordered the falafel bowl that was a great dish if you are looking for a cold meal and veggie heavy. Her boyfriend ordered the chicken that he devoured without a morsel left. How did we even have room for dessert?? We ordered loukoumades that was enough for the table. traditional little yummy greek donuts with small scoops of vanilla ice cream dispersed among them Last but not least-excellent service!!!! Bravo!! I enjoyed the ambiance at Trade-it felt like a very special evening. Thank you to Trade and staff

We had the potsticker appetizer which came with enough for four to share and were delicious. The soup was outstanding as were the brussel sprouts and the salmon sandwich and Greek salad with chicken was large and good. Our only dislike was the grain bowl which was full of spinach and very little grain. The sweet potato was cold and the dressing didn’t come thru. So with that exception we enjoyed the dinner and it was a quiet corner with a good beer and wine selection.

First time at Branch Line. Ambience is very nice, modern and open but visually appealing. Service was excellent; knowledgeable and helpful wait-staff. Food came quickly and was nicely cooked, e.g. fish nice and soft, moist but completely done. Sauces were savory and not too salty. Delicious hot chocolate brownie dessert. Wine list is interesting and reasonably priced. My only issue is that it is pretty noisy, so don't plan on a quiet, intimate conversation. Else, definitely worth the money.

Great choice for us since we were already staying at the Commander Hotel. Armenian house special lamb chops was the hit of the night. Everything was well prepared, presented with care by attentive staff Overall, highly recommend.

This is a gem. Been going here for several years and find the menu and the chef and all who work there to be welcoming. Had a squash soup that was a meal in itself. Parking, by the way, is plentiful, easy and free. Enjoy.
