About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for groups
  • Great for creative cocktails
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.

    The brunch eggs Benedict are delicious, with an Hollandeise sauce that will make you want to lick the plate. Courteous and prompt service and relaxing music. Never disappoints.

    Portions are huge for price points and delicious!!! The champagne vinaigrette should be sold by the bottle. The Monte Christo was perfect and the drink menu had great selections! Service was great as well

    The food is always very good. Our waiter was not so good. Spent time watching TV and playing on his phone. It took ages to get some wine. Really not impressed. I usually sit at the bar with friends and the service is wonderful.

    We have been going here for years! I never write a review but our service was terrible & Meg M was rude & she should not been working there! PERIOD! I am a Business Owner & I would never have someone that hates her job & along with not wanting to be working there at my establishment! Food was Good! No Complaints about Food but I have never seen her there so she must be relatively new but do your establishment a favor & pull her off the waitstaff! Thanks, Tom
