About this restaurant

  • Innovative
  • Romantic
  • Neighborhood gem
Here at Mussel Bar & Grille, sustainability meets affordability.
We serve the freshest fish and seafood from around the region and the world, including the best mussels in the region — and the beauty is you don’t have to make it an occasion to dine with us!
Because our volume is so high, and because of the buying power that comes when a prominent chef owns multiple, acclaimed restaurants, we’re able to keep our prices low — making Mussel Bar Arlington a destination where you can go gourmet every day.
Join us daily for happy hour, oysters, great specials, and our selection of — count ’ em — nearly 160 beers (including the finest Belgians in the world). Check out our Facebook page for our wildly popular Oyster Fests.
Mussel Bar & Grille is a RW Group restaurant. www.rwrestaurantgroup.com

    Great food! And they were super accommodating — specially making something for my daughter. The seafood bake was amazing and the drinks were delicious. We will be back again soon!

    We made a reservation on Open Table but when we got there were told they weren't serving dinner. We had to wait 30 minutes. We had a drink but the draft list was not up to date so we both got the wrong order. When dinner started, they only had 2 salad selections and neither were great options. We had mussels and the octopus. While they were good, overpriced and the service was sub par. Won't be coming back.

    I would go back to Mussel Bar. Service, ambiance, food were all good. The mussels with mushrooms and bacon was the winner; the classic wine/garlic was under-salted. The creme brulee was very good, but the chocolate mousse dessert was gummy, rather than fluffy. Needs some work. All in all, an enjoyable evening, good vibes, spacious, not too noisy.

    Waiter was unable to deliver a beer in half an hour and mixed up the dinner and appetizer order. Manager intervened and fixed it. This was our third time at this restaurant; the first two visits were far better

    Good food, good service. Music was a bit too loud - had to raise voice to be heard.
