Hello y'all and welcome to Friday. Wow how time flies, two weeks ago we BASHed at Restaurant 3 in Arlington, VA. Even though I drive by this place regularly, I had actually never been there before. As Rashmi said the temperatures have been intense so we thought it a good opportunity to try it. My first impressions of this place; bar area is kinda cool looking, it has a huge mural on the wall, ample seating either at cocktail tables or in clusters with stools around a shorter round tables. I like the sound control; it wasn’t too loud so it was easy to talk to and hear others. It has a decent crowd, although a little older than the usual Arlington group. I agree with Rashmi, the service was okay, the beer specials great, the mussels were good but cannot compare to the awesome HH mussels at Lyon Hall. We thrive on happy hours specials and this place didn’t really have anything super to offer us on a Friday night. While there I found out that they are known for their bacon and they have a bacon happy hour that looks pretty fun. I will have to try it out and report back, maybe this is the night to go. But otherwise to me the only saving grace is that they have the Morgan Syrah/Grenache (my current favorite red wine) otherwise, I probably would not go back. (Which I went back for a week later and also tried the potato fries with blue cheese, they were very good.)
Despite the sub par feel on the happy hour specials we had a fantastic time with the crew that joined us. B Gant, my hubby Ryan, Sona and Jonathan, and the Jones’s as well as a few other. Thank you all for coming out!
