Bistro San Martin

You can go most anywhere in the world (I have) and not find the meal and experience you get at the Bistro! I have been many times and always the food is first class. If you are lucky when the fresh catch is scallops they are like candy and also do not miss the Chilean Sea Bass! We are so lucky to have a world class restaurant in little podunk Arlington!

My wife and I have been here a few times now and each time we have had a great experience. We live in the Arlington area. however we travel quite a bit so we were surprised to find such a remarkable eatery in this little town. I can only compare the Bistro to other very high quality places I have dined at throughout the world, from New York, San Francisco, France, anywhere! Comparable to my other fave, NOPA in San Francisco, Bistro San Martin is heads and shoulders above anything in the area. Great hospitality, great atmosphere, and more importantly GREAT food. If you want a great evening out forget the other "special occasion" places such as Anthony's, McCormiks, etc. and make the drive up to Arlington. You will be rewarded. The Bistro only has about 13 tables so make a reservation in advance. They are VERY accommodating if you do not have one and will do their best to get you a table though. The small size is a great plus as the food and service is incredible!

This is the most cute, quaint, little restaurant in downtown Arlington. It has been open for just one year, and already reservations are reccomended, (even on week nights!). The food is outstanding, the service excellent, and the over all experience was very memorable. There are two owners of Bistro San Martin, and you can find them both working in the restaurant every night. Steve works in the front of the house. He is very friendly and makes you feel welcome spending time chatting and visiting with us and every other table in the place. The Chef Martin is also a owner. Every meal that he serves is personalized and you can tell that thought and pride was put into it. Between these two they make sure that every guest is wanting to come back for more. I had an excellent dining experience and am already making reservations for another trip to Bistro San Martin.
