Great spot to cool down on a hot summer. By the Marina with planes overhead so lots to watch and food was great as well.

Great outside seating with decent view of water and pentagon. Casual with basic, solid eats. Great spot to park for bike rides and island time is perfect to spot to finish a ride. Live music today plus great weather...can’t beat it.

One of Arlington’s best kept secrets! What a positively delightful spot. Friendly staff, quick service, reasonable prices and delicious food all define this place in view of a marina on the Potomac. I found nothing lacking for what my heart would desire on a Friday afternoon in July. I ordered the chicken caesar salad wrap. I was not disappointed. This had to be one of the best said wraps I have had. A generous portion of crispy, fresh fries was included. I left a happy, satiated man and look forward to coming back.

What a neat find. Met some friends heregreat location. I had the lobster roll and a cocktail LR was really good I felt 24 was a little expensive. But it was loaded not skimpy on the lobster. Drinks bought lemon crush. Then live music started. Once we sat down the line never shortened to order your food. Weather was great so not surprised people were out. Staff was great friendly and service was quick.

This place is kind of a hidden gem. We parked here and walked into the city and back. Afterwards we rewarded ourselves with a beer and burger. Now I need to say that we almost didn't go there because the menu is not very vegetarian friendly. Or so we thought! After inquiring they told us that they have black bean burger substitutes. I really think that ought to be on the menu for people like us checking beforehand. Matter of fact it was a deterring factor in the past when I was in that parking lot. But it certainly was a nice surprise. The bar tender was very friendly and the food was brought to the table after ordering at the bar. The atmosphere was nice with plenty of available seating and they offered a lot of games, such as corn hole, ping pong etc.

Very nice setting at the marina. The crab soup was delicious. The cheeseburger was very good with hearty chips and a crisp pickle. The wings were served nice and hot and they were very tasty. Devil's Backbone Vienna Lager is on draft. The service was excellent! Very prompt, friendly, professional. Parking is convenient and free.
