My take of good restaurants in Arlington. Kang Lou / Mongolian (A variation of chinese), excellent Ole' / Mexican, excellent Sepol / Middle Eastern, excellent Sweet Chilli / Thai, very good Barada Cafe / Middle Eastern, good Chocolate Bar / Icecream, not bad Village Fish / Seafood Italian, good Tsunami / Midiocle but cheap Japanese China Cafe / Chinese, Soup is great! New Asia / Chinese, Decent Flora / Somewhat overpriced but good cuisin From the theater, Barada and Chocolate Bar are in walking distance.

the best is flora (american/continental) which is on the next block
towards cambridge. across the street is a good middle east place, cafe
barada.
most arlington restaurants have beer and wine now so byob is not needed
(nor allowed in general). you may not have been in town in a couple of
years but the food scene has change immensely for the better.
uriHi There, Another place if you like greek pastries and cookies is the Xaxaroplastian (sp?) just across the capitol theatre. Their hours are limited (sometimes feels like they are not interested in doing business) but the stuff is good and very reasonably priced....Anant.

No one has mentioned Gala Ristorante yet, one of our favorites. It's about two blocks from the Capitol Theatre towards Cambridge. They serve a mix of dishes from southern Europe: Italy, France, and Spain. Excellent grilled pizzas, veal dishes, paella. Yum.
