We arrived and were seated immediately, given cocktail list, wine list, and the menu. Our server was very attentive, giving us ample time to survey the menu. We ordered cocktails and a starter. The pimiento cheese fritters with green tomato marmalade were very tasty and a great start to our meal. The grilled scallops arrived perfectly cooked on a bed of tasty vegetable risotto, accompanied by fresh bread and warm and seasoned olive oil. Our friendly, attentive server and the delicious cocktails and food made for a perfect evening out.

Our experience at Arrington was wonderful. The meal was amazing, service was friendly, and excellent, and the dining room was elegant. My only suggestion would be to update the music a bit. I feel a smoothie jazz selection might have been more soothing than the music selection playing during our dinner. Overall, it was a wonderful evening.
