Best restaurants near me in Arlington, MA

“Best of the North Shore” absolutely struggles to cook a pizza well done. Ordered one, undercooked, the second one came out raw in the middle. Floor manager was overly patronizing, leading the table visit with “well I guess we can’t cook a pizza huh”, not the greatest start to that conversation… Our Server, Jesus was absolutely phenomenal, fantastic service. Everything else about the visit is phenomenal, but this was my third and last time trying to order a well done pizza from here, seems a bit too advanced for them.

I dine at Tryst when I want really good food, drinks and space to chat with my companions. Tryst checks all the boxes and is my go-to when I meet friends. Service is always very good. Glad to have this option in Arlington.

We sat at the bar upstairs. The downstairs well in looked appealing. We might choose that next time. It’s a fun place, probably better to go with a group.

Three friends and I visited recently just to enjoy an afternoon being together. The place is lovely, the woman who waited on us couldn’t have been nicer, and the tea and food were delicious and more than adequate. We were disappointed that there was only one other couple in the place. It seems like a hidden gem that more people should discover!

A great spot for a cold winter night. Food is excellent. Our waitress Natalya was helpful and attentive. She pointed out that the large salad I was going to order as an appetizer could be ordered in a smaller version instead of fries for a modest additional charge. Just the sort of thing you appreciate from a server.
