    Overall we had a lovely time, bough everyone did comment on how salty their food was. Particularly the steaks. 2 people order the steaks and said they were rather heavy handed with salt. And the Salmon eater had the same comment. Thought you would want to know., Our service was lovely. And the menu is terrific.

    Cafe: Colline is one of our favorite restaurants in Arlington. We are so lucky we are walking distance and can just enjoy dinner and stroll home. I highly recommend it. It’s definitely five stars.

    Food was amazing and wait service very good. Celebrating a birthday and we’re given complimentary bubbly with dessert. However as soon as we were served, we were told our time limit had been reached and needed to leave. We had to gobble down the cake and were unable to enjoy our last few minutes. Just too bad it was such an abrupt ending to a lovely night.
