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.

    We had a fantastic dining experience at Old Ebbitt Grill! The service was wonderful—our waitress was gracious and went out of her way to make my son's birthday special, which we truly appreciated. The oysters were incredibly fresh and delicious, definitely a highlight of the meal. Also prices were good compared to similar restaurants. The only small downside was that I ordered a skinny margarita, but it came out much sweeter than expected. However, that didn’t take away from the overall experience. I highly recommend this restaurant for its great food, historic ambiance, and excellent service. We will definitely be back!

    Our party came to La Grande Boucherie to celebrate a birthday, and was looking for an upscale fine dining experience. We got exactly that, and our server Tim made the evening incredibly special! A bread basket with warm baguettes was brought out with a lovely soft butter and flaky sea salt. I believe our table ended up having two more bread baskets throughout the meal. Our table of six shared three hors d'oeuvres: escargots, french onion soup, and foie gras. The escargots were delicious, done very classic and served out of the shell. The french onion soup was the crowd favorite. The foie gras was decadent, although the toast it and the escargots came with was a thick soft bread lightly toasted, and we preferred the baguette from the bread basket. For drinks I had the La Touissant cocktail and a Hendricks martini twist. La Touissant was a bright cocktail that was fun and bubbly. It was served in a stemless wine glass. My martini was perfect, and the stemware was stunning! The nicoise was my entree, this was well balanced and a healthy portion size. Others at the table had moules frites, porc diane, bolognese, ribeye, and duck cassoulet. Everyone enjoyed their entrees, although the ribeye came closer to medium than medium rare. After dinner we were deciding on dessert and five of us got Sauternes, and one got Amaro. The wine was lovely, and a great night cap. Tim then brought ice cream and champagne for our table to celebrate the birthday which was incredibly kind and made the birthday girl feel so special. I spoke to Tim as an aside to put my card down so there was no haggling at the end of dinner; he handled it incredibly well and snuck it back to me so no one noticed! The server assistant was also amazing, we were a boisterous table and everyone at La Grande Boucherie made sure we had a spectacular experience and my friend had a marvelous birthday dinner!

    OK here is the real deal. In short, you must try this place. The food is amazing, the service was excellent, especially that the place was packed, even on a Wednesday! We ordered the calamari to start, a little oily, but very tasty. The main dishes consisted of lasagna, ravioli and the gnocchi. Each dish was over the top amazing. Yes the price per dish was a lot, but I assure you that majority of the people will take home at least half the plate and have another meal the following day. The final element was the chocolate moose cake that was everything you would expect, rich, flavorful, and naughty. But what the hell. It was a perfect ending to an amazing meal. Reservations are highly recommended, especially if you have a large group.
