The name, Menotomy, pays homage to the Menotomy Indians and the Menotomy Village originally
Settled in 1635. The village was incorporated as the town of Arlington in 1867 following the civil
war as a tribute to Arlington National Cemetery.

Our vision for Menotomy Grill & Tavern is to bring the tavern concept back to the town of Arlington by creating a rustic grill capitalizing on the coziness of a brick house featuring fireplace, open kitchen,
exposed beams, large planked hard wood floors, and historical artifacts and photos. Fostering a
loyal following will be the key to our success, so we welcome you to join us on Facebook for news, special offers and exciting events.

Always a pleasurable experience at Menotomy. The Big Mac flatbread special was amazing, and brownie sundae was the perfect nightcap. Great vibes and incredible service

Menotomy always pleases. Server Nick was exceptionally attentive, as were the hostesses. My BBQ St Louis ribs, while not hickory pit smoked, still were very delicious. My partner had a salad augmented with a delightfully large chunk of excellent salmon. Partner is more of a beer aficionado than I am, and enjoyed the draft hazy IPA quite a lot. The only downside? It has been discovered, and the Friday night crowd was a bit noisier than we like (but still much less than most other popular places).

I had my birthday brunch/lunch here, and it was great! The food was delicious (eggs benedict!), and most importantly, our server (Alex) was amazing! She was just wonderful. She is the BEST!

Really solid food in a welcoming and casual atmosphere. Special shout out to the wait staff who are very friendly, cheerful and quite patient with members of a party who are indecisive, slow or otherwise challenging;)

We had a reservation and were sat right away. We had a show to get to so we let our server know ahead of time. We quickly ordered drinks and then placed our food order when our drinks arrived. 25 minutes later (after the table that was sat after us received their apps) we still had no food. Our server came over and told us there was a mix up in tickets and the food would be out shortly. Most of the food arrived another 10 minutes later but we were still waiting on one more appetizer. Our server then came over to drop off the check, no apology. We normally wouldn’t make a big deal but we had a show to be at and were less than impressed with how everything was dealt with. We asked to speak to the manager, she was very nice and helpful. She apologized multiple times and comped some of our bill.
