The menu follows a Southern-fried meat-and-three concept, meaning diners order a meat, plus three sides. Those will include Ruthie’s mac and cheese, of course, but also white-soy-braised greens, stewed chickpeas and smoked cauliflower with a spicy soy glaze. “We’re going to be changing it a lot based on seasonality,” Hill says of the menu. “ Every vegetable has got to be fantastic because it has to stand on its own.” One thing that will help that: Hill is already growing all of the restaurant’s own herbs at his South Arlington community garden plot.

The food is excellent, and the service is great. The noise level on Saturday night was challenging for someone my age (70+), but otherwise I always enjoy lunch or dinner at Cafe Colline.

Great food. Great service. Great ambiance. However, it is very loud inside. It's also good that guests who get there early have the option to order from the dinner menu, which I like better than the brunch menu. Thank you!

Delicious, as usual. Quiet enough that it was easy to carry on a conversation, We were on a tighter schedule than our normal visits there, and the wait staff were very understanding and helpful. I love to go and spend a leisurely lunch or dinner at La Cote D'Or, but if you have an hour or slightly more, you can still get a wonderful meal and experience for a reasonable price. Highly recommended.
