Paris has landed in Arlington. The Angie is a French Brasserie that operates like it has been there for years not just two weeks. Service was very good for such a busy place. Is it loud and busy yes, but it adds to the experience and vibe. It's the new place to be and be seen. A large bar takes up most of the front room and every seat was filled on Friday night. The star of the show is the food. Never had Crab Rangoon before and it was an excellent appetizer. When you order the steak frites you can select your cut of meat. I chose a filet. The meat was charred perfectly and melted in your mouth. There is a small up charge for the au poivre sauce which was excellent. The corn salad was also light and very tasty. Beignets for dessert came with Carmel and Chocolate sauce. Many tables order Crème Brûlée which appeared to be the most desired dessert. We were very satisfied with the beignets. If you are driving parking is available in the parking garage in the same building for $5.00 if you can't find street parking. We will definitely be back and try different entrees and enjoy crab Rangoon again and again. The Angie is a great new spot in Arlington that should be experienced. read more

A nice, brand new French restaurant in a brand new building on Fairfax Drive. Nice tall ceiling, though very noisy due to poor sound design. Large TV at the bar near entrance. Rowdy crowd because World Cup is on. Took photos of the menu for everyone, since their menu is hard to find. Note that the Lobster Frites is $78 Their tables and chairs on the patio are so very Parisian (facing toward the street, the same kind of French pattern typical of cafes in Paris). They just had a grand opening (French colored balloons are still out front). Very nice patio to the side surrounded by plants and away from the cars. We were here during dinner time on a Saturday and weather is very hot. Since the place is so noisy and full we did not get a table. Might come to give it a try next time. read more

Food 6/10 - mediocre burger, but enjoyed the idea of an adult happy meal, so $34 for a martini, fries with a spec of caviar, and a double patty burger is a good deal Service 1/10 - granted we went probs like 2-3 weeks after opening. We were sitting in section 91, aka in the back area -- so granted #easily forgotten. However, our waiter has a kind personality - but even at work, I'm not rated for my kind personality. I'm measured based off how I perform. I attached the ring pop picture for a reason. The fact that I sucked that ring pop ALL THE WAY TO THE BOTTOM -- that how long we waited for our check. I then literally got up to go to the front, and 1. The waiter got our check wrong 2. The front desk person was struggling to ring up our check. Granted, it was a Friday night and they're super busy -- but if I was a business, beyond caring for the guest -- I'd probably want to prioritize getting paid LOL. I only felt inclined to leave a review because for the prices that the Angie is charging -- the service DOES NOT match that energy. If you're gonna charge $18 plus for a cocktail, you gotta match that energy. Northside social down the street charges like $5 for their mimosa that's FIRE and it comes in like a minute -- so if you're gonna be high scale, you need high scale service. read more

The slightly upscale restaurant that North Arlington needed. The interior is lux and spacious, and the service was efficient - I always love a restaurant that offers fresh fruit for your water. I can't wait to come back and try their pastas! read more

The Angie is an incredible new addition to Ballston. The vibes and atmosphere are extremely well done. The menu has so many great options, it was hard to narrow down what to order. But the food experience was very disappointing. To start, the shrimp cocktail was great and the portion was sizable. It went a bit downhill from there. The Frisée & Lardon salad lacked flavor, the dressing was on the bland side. The Wagyu French Dip looked promising, but the creamy horseradish lacked any flavor of horseradish and the au jus tasted like water. The sandwich is priced at $42 and doesn't even come with a side/fries. Added fries to the side (for $15) and they also lacked flavor. The menu advertises the fries coming with garlic aioli and ketchup - they were served with 3 sauces (none of which were garlic aioli). For a $100+ weekday lunch for 2 people, this was very disappointing. I really hope this restaurant can work out their early issues in the kitchen, and consider revising the prices. read more

The Angie is just what Ballston needs, and I hope that it can deliver once the bugs are worked out. While there are many, very good places to eat in Ballston, but there is a real lack of nice sit down restaurants so it's great to see the Angie move in. First, the space is absolutely beautiful. Very high ceilings (with maybe a bit too aggressive ceiling fans) you really feel like you stepped into a French cafe. I love that they are also owned by the same folks that own For Five Coffee and essentially turn into a cafe in the mornings. What a great idea and cant wait to stop by for morning coffee. The Angie has a great menu with a lot of variety. The prices are kind of all over the place. Some items are more than reasonable while others, like the Cesar Salad and Cake Slice (more on that later) are pretty pricey. The service we had was excellent. There was plenty of staff and everyone was very attentive. There were some misses. One of the party had a dairy allergy, yet they brought their filet with a giant pad of butter. So that had to go back and be remade. When it came back it was over cooked. My Duck was also very overcooked. It should come out closer to medium rare and it was well done. The skin was crispy, which is great, but disappointing that the duck itself had been so badly overcooked. The flavors for both the filet and duck were excellent, and the French fries are outstanding. heck I would go back just for the fries. The Cesar Salad was also great, perfectly dressed, the fried cream cheese was awesome and it was a big portion. Im not sure it's worth $26, but i wasnt mad at it. Now I knew what I was getting in to by ordering an $18 slice of cake. But I wanted to support the business and give it a try, I mean they make it so prominent on the dessert menu it has to be good right? Nope. This is honestly criminal. I got it to go as I was already full from dinner, but tried a bit when we got home. Half the frosting was missing from the side of the cake, it was dry and basically was a single flavor throughout. It was a vanilla box cake that they charge you $18 for. No one should ever order it, ever. Ive seen others post that the portions are small. Nothing that I saw would make me think that any of the portions on anything are small. I hope some of these issues get worked out as the restaurant settles in. They are only a week old and we will definitely go back. I do think they need to rethink some of the pricing and just shore up some issues in the kitchen and The Angie will be a home run. read more

Just went here for drinks and sat at the bar but the restaurant is beautiful probably the nicest sit-down/proper restaurant in the area. The vegetarian options are scarce but that's par for the course. However, one of the servers did say they might change up the menu based on the preferences of the patrons and introduce more vegetarian options. Either way I will be back to try the food next time. read more

We had a reservation on Friday at 8:30, seated at 8:40- which is fine but it's worthy to note that we missed them calling us because of how loud it was. We were seated in the section near the kitchen, so the staff was rushing by us. Our waiter came by with our menus but didn't come back. After 20 minutes, we left because we had a time limit with the babysitter at home. The restaurant was insanely loud, unorganized, and the tables were so close together that coming back from the bathroom was a challenging experience. read more

The service was so friendly and fast. We got our food within minutes. They gave us a free dessert for our anniversary. Taking off a star for being so pricey. $35 for a burger. The Chicken Milanese was great! Lots of fun food and cocktail options. Cool environment, would be cozier at night with less light though. read more

The sandwiches were fantastic! I had the wagyu French dip and also got to try the club sandwich. Great flavor and portion sizes. I definitely will be coming back soon. read more

Our experience at The Angie was disappointing--to say the least. Not only did the (poor) quality of the food come no where close to the Michelin-star bill, the restaurant appeared to be poorly managed and overwhelmed by its crowd. While I understand that The Angie is still working through some kinks having just opened, the dining experience was somehow a coagulation of bland, overwhelming, and kitschy. Unfortunately many of these local spots are outshined by DC bistros a few metro stops away. read more

This restaurant is beautiful and very French. The service was good--not great. Why don't servers bring salt and pepper right away when you ask for it!? We ordered a drink and because they didn't have the ingredients the brought something else. We totally could have ordered something else, but it seemed weird to bring a drink without asking our choice. Now the food. The frisée could have had more lardons and a more flavorful dressing. The clam pasta was very good with fresh Al dente pasta. But here's the kicker. This restaurant is VERY expensive! For these prices the food and service should have been outstanding not just good. We'll try this again-hopefully they can work out the kinks. read more

Food was undercooked and under seasoned. Pasta that was cold and hard. Atmosphere was rowdy like a bar, not a French bistro vibe at all. Absolute huge disappointment for the price point. People at the bar were rowdy and messy, definitely should have not been served any longer. In addition, our reservation was at 7 and we weren't seated until 7:30. Abysmal. read more

Great service and great food! We had the steak tidbits to share and I had the club sandwich - both phenomenal! Def will be coming back.
