- GGeoffreyGoldWashington, D.C. Area •56 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoAll Hallows’ Eve was blessedly relaxed, and suitably informal with hosts in costume, and service finely attuned to the guests. It was a surprisingly small crowd for a Saturday night, but the kitchen was in full swing, and dishes arriving promptly. It is hard to resist past favorites; so, we both opted for the brisket, one a sandwich with sides, the other a platter. We were not disappointed. After dinner, we adjourned to the bar, which was easily up to the same standard. The DuBoissan Ale, 12% is a favorite.More infoRuthie's All-Day - Arlington$$$$• American• Arlington•4.8
