Exceptional(3271)
Price: Moderate
• American • Arlington
Booked 129 times today
The menu follows a Southern-fried meat-and-three concept, meaning diners order a meat, plus three sides. Those will include Ruthie’s mac and cheese, of course, but also white-soy-braised greens, stewed chickpeas and smoked cauliflower with a spicy soy glaze. “We’re going to be changing it a lot based on seasonality,” Hill says of the menu. “ Every vegetable has got to be fantastic because it has to stand on its own.” One thing that will help that: Hill is already growing all of the restaurant’s own herbs at his South Arlington community garden plot.

    WHAT A spendid surprise it was at Chasin Tails tonight. My girlfriend and I went for Happy Hour and had excellent appetizers and cocktails at the bar, with the exceptional bartender there. We both loved the yellowtail appetizer as well as the crispy shrimp. We had great Manhattans and Chardonnay with our dinner after Happy Hour, sharing the crabcake dinner and brussel sprouts, both of which were excellent. Chasin' Tails shares a kitchen with NUE which is a great Vietnamese Restaurant in Falls Church. I can't wait to go back to Chasin' Tails and to try Nue for a more fine dining experience. Parking is a bit confusing but is plentiful underground in the retail parking lot entrance off of Broad street. Just go up to the restaurant to have them help you and to get the 3 hour free discount. It's quite simple after the first visit!
