Best Modern Southern American Restaurants in Arlington

We had a lovely dinner at Mallard last night. The food was outstanding, very creative, very tasty. My wife started with an appetizer of Sea Island pea dip with duck-fat saltines that she loved, and I had Spanish ham with pickled watermelon rind that was terrific. For her main course, my wife had Pekin duck, and I had fried sweetbreads on a waffle with bacon marmelade, and foie gras added in. We both loved our main dishes, and are looking forward to eating the left-overs we brought home. The restaurant was noisy, but not in a way that made conversation difficult. Service was attentive if sometimes a bit slow, understandably, because the place was very busy. When I didn't care for the cocktail I had ordered, our server quickly offered me the possibility of choosing another, so i ended up satisfied. As we left, my wife told our server that she would tell her friends about Mallard. We will definitely be coming back!

Wonderful experience. Will definitely visit again!

Beautiful spot near Capitol One! Lovely service by Tameka. Delicious Steak and eggs for 2.

Today was my first time going to this establishment my husband and I immediately got seated. The waitress was excellent. 

Food was good and our server was very nice. I had the stuffed chicken with brussles sprouts and a spicy marg. I will be back.
