Mercury Chophouse - Arlington

Wait staff is amazing! Friendly, patient helpful. The food was excellent. Everyone in our party loved their selections.

Appetizers were excellent, but main course (steak) was not very great. They seem to do better with their seafood items. Recommend the seafood kabobs.

Very nice setting. Good food and wine. Good service. Seems very overpriced for Arlington. Apparently a place for business dealings....got to listen to a business deal involving catheters while I was eating. Guy in same party took a call in the middle of the restaurant - could hear everything he said. Bad manners on the part of the party involved.

We had a wonderful experience tonight, for my wife’s birthday. The food was very good and I can’t say enough about the service. To have every piece of silverware hand delivered on a tray is above what I usually expect. My wife received a wonderful dessert for her birthday. It’s not a cheap place to dine or to drink. The highball drink was expensive, but I don’t know anywhere that serves it with a single block of ice. The food was amazing and came out quickly. We had the surf and turf and a beef short rib. Although we were greeted by one server, it was a different server, who waited on us. Both were so helpful and gave us the best service we have ever had. It seemed like we had an entire staff just for us. This place is obviously the best in the area for food and service. We will be back for all our special occasions. They also do live music, which is normally not great, and sometime annoying. The music was tasteful and completely a great addition to the views and the food.

Amazing food. Pleasantly surprised to find such high quality cuisine here in Arlington! My wife had the Chilean Sea Bass with risotto which she let me taste (so good) and a chocolate martini. I had a crab cake which was amazing. The sauces on both the bass and crab cake were outstanding. Great service - Even got to meet the owner who was hovering around making sure everything ran smoothly.
