Having been here previously for lunch and finding it satisfactory but not note-worthy, I was surprised at how good the food was when we stopped in for brunch today. Too hot for the patio, we opted to dine inside where it was full and loud, but didn't feel crowded. We were given a 20 minute wait for two so grabbed mimosas and the best bellini I've had in a while at the bar. We were seated very quickly among the primarily polo-shirt wearing crowd which was very "Arlington" - well off, some young families out with friends, groups of young professionals, etc.

I was really happy with the Nordic Salmon Hollandaise I ordered off the somewhat limited menu. Its a wood grilled chunk of salmon served over three spears of firm asparagus, perched on a plentiful bed of home fries and topped with a dollop of hollandaise. The crispy home fries stole the show, packing a bevy of flavors that will no doubt call my name again.

My guy ordered the Grand Hotel French Toast which was a smaller order than I would have thought, but the cornflake crust gave it a delightful crunch and the toast itself was surprisingly light. The Grand Marnier whipped cream was ridiculous. It comes with a small side of bacon to help counter act the sweet but if you're really hungry, you may need to add sides.
