Green Pig Bistro

Always a standout. Great food, great service, and a real neighborhood feel. You just can’t go wrong having dinner here at the Green Pig.

Excellent food in a warm and cozy atmosphere. They had just changed to their fall menu and we were very pleased with the choices. The butternut squash soup was so flavorful and the snails and mushrooms over toast were delicious. We also tried the bone marrow which was a hit at our table. For entrees we ate the pork shank, scallops and vegetable risotto. They were all delicious. For dessert we tried the coffee cheesecake and flourless chocolate cake (topped with vanilla ice cream) and both were excellent.

This place is awesome. Great food, great service. So many enticing items, you’ll want to return over and over to try them all! Marisa is a delight - provided a ton of helpful information about the dishes and was attentive but not intrusive. Looking forward to our next visit.

I’ve been to Green Pig several times and the food and service are always on point. This time around we had the waiter JP, who was one of the best servers I’ve ever had. He anticipated our needs before we said anything and made it a very pleasant experience. I will be back.

Well worth the visit! The cinnamon rolls were fabulous as were all of the other dishes we tried!

Food has gone downhill, across menu items.
Used to be a quality experience...now just seems “assembled”

Our waitress was really nice and the food came quickly and was delicious. I’d recommend!

Very nice brunch! Outstanding service — Attentive waiter without being doting.

Huevos Rancheros were the best my wife said she ever had. My steak and eggs were very good EXCEPT my poached eggs weren’t cooked properly as part of my runny yoke was cool in temperature.

Notwithstanding the undercooked poached egg, we will
be back!

Best place to take your newborns! Had a good time and they accommodated us perfectly with our kids.

A few things kept this from a better review. First is the reservation time was not correctly recorded by the restaurant staff; It took an excessive amount of time to get the check at the end of the meal and often times during the meal, there were long periods of time where we never did see the wait person;
Lastly, the portions were not consistent. For instance, the hanger steaks were served in much smaller portions than the pork chops or the fish.
With all that said, the kitchen did a great job with the food. My table had the items mentioned above as well as a few appetizers and deserts. I would also say, even though the reservation got botched, we were not made to wait for a table as they sat us at the communal table in the back.
So I'll say that this is a place we would return to.

Chicken biscuits are great as are the ribs - oysters were also good but the person who delivered them had no idea which type of oyster we were served (this person was not our server but more of runner). Good cocktails too

First time diners and we will definitely be back. Every bite of the three dishes that I ordered was delicious and my companions were also very happy with their dinners. Highly recommend!

A good overall experience but a pricey.
Energetic atmosphere, if noise is an issue for you it is a bit loud.

We were 6 people who hadn't seen each other for a long time and we were more interested in catching up than ordering food and I think that frustrated the wait staff. The food was good - but not worth the price they charged in my opinion.

Excellent happy hour specials at the bar.
1/2 priced oysters, fried pickles, drink specials. Staff was fun and friendly, they made helpful suggestions.
Pork chop was very good!!

Inventive menu, fresh ingredients, friendly service

We took a few co-workers who were in town and wanted to get a good meal. The food was delicious, as always. Drink selection was very good. Our waiter was great and made everyone feel at home. This is the second time I've taken my team when they've come to the area, and both times have been a really good time.

Food was only so so. Fried chicken and biscuits with honey and buffalo sauce was good. Pork chop entree with Brussels sprouts, pears, etc. was bland. Branzino fish was not great. Price did not reflect actual quality of food.

If this local bistro isn't on your go-to list of restaurants then you are in luck- you found it. Formerly a regular but moved away. In the last three years not much has changed. While there is a new chef, the quality ingredients, creative menu, and attention to detail continues to warrant your regular return.

Great for couples, groups and family dinners. The open air kitchen is within view of the main dining area is accessible for those interested, but not the focus- you are.

If you are a foodie or just want well seasoned and creative food, can go on and on.
Recommend Bone Marrow, Oysters, Pork Shank, Scallops.

The Green Pig never disappoints, and the brunch just keeps getting better.

Sub-par tonight.

Food was pretty good and the restaurant is very cute. Unfortunately, it’s overpriced for what you get. Also, we sat, ordered and had both appetizer and entree courses served in 24 minutes - we felt so rushed out the door that the meal wasn’t enjoyable.

The food was delicious. However, it is a bit over priced and our service was awful. For such good quality food the servers could have been more attentive.

One of top restaurants in Clarendon. Buffalo ribs are great - who knew. Meatloaf special nothing special. Good service.

I have never been so disappointed in a place. I have come here 10 plus times and this last time is enough. We waited 20 mins to get a drink, we hurried up and ordered food, when it came, which was relatively quick, we had to wait 10 mins for silverware, the Mac and cheese was ice cold, and the burger was good but my wife wanted ketchup. After we waited another 20 mins, I went in and requested ketchup. After another 15 minutes of waiting we decided to just leave. I have never walked We out of a place, but I did here.
What makes it worse is, what I assume was the manager, called me a berated me for leaving. After telling him I would come back and pay, I was promptly given a F-Off. wow that was surprising. Never coming back to this place. I am floored by the manager’s total disrespect.

The food portions are small, particularly in relation to the prices. They may try to seat you in one of the two bar areas, which are terrible for table dining because they don't have dedicated waitstaff in those areas and Green Pig makes little effort to provide patrons seated in those areas with good service.

Came for dinner on a Friday night and made reservations. (First timer) While sitting at the bar, waiting on my date, I received great service from the bartender. The Moscow mule was amazing! They use their own house made ginger beer. Honestly, one of my favorites. Transitioned to a table once my date arrived. I had the steak with chimichurri and my date had the diver scallops. Also ordered a side of Brussels sprouts. He was not a fan of his dish and I didn't get an opportunity to try because my dish was quite delicious and filling. Great balance of flavors and the Brussels sprouts were hearty and tender. Great service. Kitchen closes early at 10 despite restaurant closing at midnight.

We came back to the restaurant because had amazing oysters a previous time. However, this time they were not as good...((

Food was wonderful. The waffle was delicious. The chicken and waffle was great - though next time I'd ask for the gravy on the side so the bottom waffle piece doesn't get so soggy. Service was quick. I love the decor. We'll be back.

FOOD WAS GOOD AS USUAL ,TOOK A FRIEND WHO HAD NEVER BEEN ,SAID IT WAS THE BEST HAMBURGER HE EVER HAD ,BACON CHEESE BURGER .EVERYONE INCLUDING THE LOCAL COMMUNITY VERY FRIENDLY ,ONLY DOWNFALL (PARKING ) IS A REAL CHOIR .

Great food and drinks! Neighborhood gem.

Food was amazing. The biscuits and jelly is a must have as a starter. For my main meal, I had the shrimp and grits. Super tasty!

Our waiter was so awesome today! He went above and beyond and made our little 3.5 year old so happy. Thanks to the chef for his soft heart, too!

This is a must for anyone in the Arlington area. Perfect for date night or a evening with friends. High praise for the folks at Green Pig Bistro.

Fabulous! Our server was terrific. Attentive without being aggressive, great on recommendations, and super nice. Also loved the atmosphere. Food was terrific!

The waitress was aces. Really kind and thoughtful and patient. The best.

Best food in Arlington. I have never had a bad meal here.... Go to place for celebratory meals.

My favorite restaurant in the DC/NOVA area!! Food is amazing and service is excellent! Perfect for anyone tons of options! The Tuna appetizer is off the charts good!

The menu looked amazing but everything was underwhelming. The flavors were bland. I ordered the Fried Chicken special and it was flavorless. The mac and cheese was nothing special. The fried shrimp starter was the best part by far. Our waiter also kept forgetting about us too. I would not go back.

Went for Sunday brunch with a bunch of friends. Ordered cinnamon buns to share, which were dense and not tasty, especially once they got cold. Portions were generous, and service was friendly and prompt. Food came out in a timely manner, with all special requests adhered to. Did not feel rushed to clear out after we finished eating which is always nice. Overall the breakfast centric food items that the table ordered were good (e.g. grits, egg sandwiches, yogurt parfait, etc.).
