Reviews for Mussel Bar & Grille in Arlington, VA
They serve some phenomenal mussels here. I ordered the Thai curry style mussels and did not regret it, however I look forward to... trying out their other flavors. I also ordered a side of truffle frites which went perfect with the mussels. Will be coming backfor sure. Read more
Been here a few times for brunch, dinner and happy hour. It’s a cool place with a bunch of great foods. Staff is friendly and... nice! Read more
It’s always more lively sitting at the bar. Melvin is very friendly and I was asked how I was doing at least 10 times. The... manager met me at the door and offered the bar seating right away. It was happy hour from 3-7pm. Melvin suggested the happy houroysters and they were delicious. An Alsin Hazy IPA was a perfect pairing. I finished with the Kenet wood fired pizza. Theflavors of the truffle oil, smoked bacon and arugula were amazing together. I love the atmosphere here and have been severaltimes for the mussels, which are excellent. Either for drinks and appetizers with friends or a nice dinner, this is a go to forme when I’m in the area. Read more
Decent mussels (although they were a bit on the small side, we thought). Got the white wine ones, and the taste was pretty good.... Sweet potato fries with dips were great, as was the bread that came with the mussels. Friendly staff, but we waited a long timefor a beer refill. We thought the waiter had forgotten, but it came finally when we were almost done eating. Pretty niceambiance, a bit upscale rather than cozy. Read more
Food was pretty good overall, but waiter was not freindly at all, nor attentive. White wine mussels were not as tasty as a you... find in Brussels. Bacon brussel sprouts were amazing! Charred octopus was tiny and not good. Read more
Great place, if you love mussels this place is for you. I have been back two times so far . I also decided to try the octopus,... to be honest i didn't like it. I still want to put 5 stars…. because of mussels:) Read more
OMG, my new favorite spot in Washington D.C. The food is a work of art , from visual presentation to flavors , the best seafood... I’ve had in the capital. This place fills up quickly on the weekends, inside and out. Attentive staff and exception servicemakes this a clear winner. Melvin is a skilled magician with unique drink options, who made my first visit memorable! I’mlooking for him anytime I’m back in town. Read more
Love the drink selection, lots to choose from. The food menu selection was lacking in the entree part. I had the octopus and... it was tasty but it was a little hard to bite and chew could have been a little more tender. The beet salad was amazing Ienjoyed that a lot. The raw oysters were very fresh and love the different types they had to offer. E had their signature drinks and they were delicious definitely enjoyed them. Read more
