If you grew up in Arlington like I did, you might remember this place as Whitey’s – famous for their broasted chicken, and with the EAT sign out front. The EAT sign is still there but their menu has changed drastically, both at the EatBar and Tallula’s next door. Fine dining, good wines – also available from their wine shop onsite, love the small bites at EatBar but wish they were still available at Tallula’s. I still think they should serve broasted chicken for old time’s sake, though.
NOTE: Eat Bar is now closed.
