Arlington: Need a restaurant rec for tonight please

[Anonymous]

Hi Arlington folks.

Can you please recommend a tasty restaurant in Arlington around the Wilson Blvd/Courthouse area?

We are looking for a place that is:

Not a chain
Interesting food
Child friendly (4 through 10 year old boys who know how to behave in restaurants and frequently receive compliments for good restaurant behavior)
Will not have a super long wait (less than 1 hour)

It can be an ethnic place, but not one that uses nuts as a common ingredient, ie no Thai (nut allergic kid) or it can be traditional American fare.

Thanks for any suggestions!

I really like Me Jana for Lebanese tapas type of things. If your kids aren't into that, then maybe Fire Works would fit the bill? Both are really good. FW has call ahead seating if you are going on the later side.

Lyon Hall is in Clarendon not too far from Courthouse. Food is excellent -- we've taken our 5 & 7 year old girls there a bunch and they love it -- especially the pretzel appetizer!

Second Me Jana -- I lived across the street from them for years and they are fantastic.
