About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for business meals
  • Good for groups
The name, Menotomy, pays homage to the Menotomy Indians and the Menotomy Village originally
Settled in 1635. The village was incorporated as the town of Arlington in 1867 following the civil
war as a tribute to Arlington National Cemetery.

Our vision for Menotomy Grill & Tavern is to bring the tavern concept back to the town of Arlington by creating a rustic grill capitalizing on the coziness of a brick house featuring fireplace, open kitchen,
exposed beams, large planked hard wood floors, and historical artifacts and photos. Fostering a
loyal following will be the key to our success, so we welcome you to join us on Facebook for news, special offers and exciting events.

    My husband and I had a wonderful evening at Menotomy. We sat within 5 minutes by a lovely hostess. The ambiance was interesting with historical paintings. The noise level was fine as we could hear the jazz in the background and hold a conversation. We liked being able to watch the kitchen staff prepare our meals. We ordered the shrimp and jalapeños fritters, delicious. My husband ordered the half-baked chicken with green beans and stuffing. He loved it. I had a very fresh fish and chips. They had a few vegetarian options. The drinks were well thought out. I had a Raspberry lime Jeannie, hendricks gin with raspberry, lime, muddle lime, and soda water, which was perfect. My husband had an impaired ginger, which he loved. Great waitress, friendly and quick. The dishes were served by the kitchen staff, right after being cooked and very hot. We definitely recommend the Menotomy restaurant, and we are bringing our friends' soon at our next visit.

    Always great food and wonderful service - the best! We try to go a week without going there but we can’t. It’s too tempting - best fresh quality salmon and delicious salads.

    It was a wonderful time from the moment we walked into the door. The gentleman who greeted us was very engaging and brought us to a high top table near the bar. The server was simply perfect. She didn't rush us and she made GREAT suggestions. Overall it was a wonderful time and I will be back again.

    I don’t know how the salmon here is always so good, better than so many other places - and our server was excellent. Favorite restaurant!
