- AAllison1 review5.0Dined on Sep 18, 2023Food was hot and quick. I wish I could remember our server's name because he was so kind and attentive and gave the best recommendations of what we should get. Some of our favorites were the roasted cauliflower, roasted lamb, chicken skewers, drunken mussels and stuffed pepper. Recommend going on a off night like a Monday when it is not as busy so you get your food quicker.More infoAmbar - ArlingtonPrice: Expensive• Tapas / Small Plates• Arlington•4.5

Simple foods - hanger steak, scallops, brussels sprouts, even the deviled eggs - were like nothing I had ever tasted. Just fantastic.More infoRuthie's All-DayPrice: Moderate• American• Arlington•4.8

- NNicoleNew York / Tri-State Area •5 reviews5.0Dined on Jan 1, 2023We were celebrating and hosting friends from out of town and brought them to Founding Farmers for the great food and ambience. It truly exceeded expectations. It was a busy day at the restaurant (new year's day around brunch), but every single staff member we interacted with was so deeply kind and present with us. We had someone with allergies with us and the whole kitchen and pastry team looked out to care for them. Major shoutout to our server Randy (Randi?) and manager Josue who were both spectacular. And, as always, all of the food was out of this world. We will be back and we will recommend to others. Thanks for getting our new year off to a great start!More infoFounding Farmers - DCPrice: Moderate• American• Foggy Bottom•4.3

Discover Arlington
After you've seen all the monuments, your palate deserves a whirlwind culture tour too. Arlington is a short Metro hop away from the National Mall. It's home to everything from Greek dining that draws inspiration from Spanish tapas-style plating to restaurants where you can build your own burritos. Of course, areas like the Fashion Centre at Pentagon City and Pentagon Row are the places to be if you want the full upscale experience, but you're never out of walking distance from some of the D.C. area's famous freshly-cooked Ethiopian injera or Vietnamese pho. If you're worried about overdoing it, just remember that D.C. has the nation's highest number of vegan eateries per capita and features tons of vegetarian options.
