R’Bar & Grill

Here for a conference and tried, (emphasis on tried) to grab lunch before the first session. Ordered «Kiss a Dilla» and unsweetened iced tea. Got the tea… waited…waited…drank all the tea… asked for another… waited…waited…received a sweet tea. Walked it back to the bar, serves a second sweet tea… no food. 35 minutes later — I walked away hungry to get to my session. Waitstaff told me the place was busy! There were a HANDFUL of people in there! Unacceptable.

Great food, great service, good booze. Nothing to complain about here, in fact I would highly recommend this place to anyone. It’s better than the sports bar hybrid thing next door.

R’Bar is amazing!!! We had the bruschetta, crab spinach artichoke dip and salsa for appetizers. It was all delicious. I had the ribeye for dinner, it was cooked perfectly. Mr. Alvey had a table ready for us and introduced us to our waitress. He made many recommendations on the menu and they were all great. Top notch experience!!! Especially jimmy’s pizza. WOW!

Nice place and expansive menu, but I’ve walked away disappointed from the last two dinners experienced here.
Apps
— Onion Rings — regular, greasy goodness.
Salads
1) Smokey Caesar — Awesome «Texan» take on this with the fried green tomatoes and corn. But the dressing is still a bit bland. It’s a huge portion for $ 8. They should really offer half-​sizes.
2) Lime Chilled Shrimp — Hate. Well hate might be a strong word, but I disliked this salad extremely. The shrimp had a weird taste and texture. I’m not even sure if there was dressing on it. Definite disappointment.
Steaks & More
— Ribeye — Yikes! It was very fatty and tough. I would venture to say less than half of the 18 oz steak was actually edible. Furthermore, the baked potato seemed like it was microwaved because it was SO dry. Texas-​sized portions but the quality and execution were not there.
Dessert
— Crème Brûlée — It was the redeeming part of the meal.
— Peach Cobbler — I didn’t try this but one of my bosses did. He said it was undercooked and «doughy.» :/​

I came her a few weeks ago and had a great experience. Tonight was not the case. The food was great, but this was the absolute worst service I’ve ever had. If this is who they staff on a Friday night, stay away. It completely ruined my experience.

Unfortunately, Chef Michael West is no longer the chef. The menu has changed and the food quality has as well. We had an extremely nice server, but the entire experience was a letdown. The prepackaged tiramisu served for dessert was disappointing. I knew it was too good to last!

I’ve heard good things about this restaurant but I didn’t realize it was this good. The service is fantastic, the food is good & the restaurant is comfortable and inviting. My only complaint is that we ordered a tall craft beer on draft and it was $ 11. That’s a little too expensive for draft beer and may be why there weren’t many people in the dining room. Management may want to re-​think the drink prices. My wine was $ 10 a glass and the bottle was $ 21 so if I go back, I’ll probably get a bottle and take what I don’t drink home. Other than it was a nice dining experience.

We loved the look and feel of this place. The bread was like no other toasted with cheese and jalapeños mixed in the dough. The quesadilla was good and so was the bruschetta. I just hope you don’t get the same waitress we did because she wasn’t very good but they still got 4-​stars because of the bread!

This restaurant is about the only place I will frequent in Arlington. Located inside the Hilton, it will not disappoint. The food is outstanding. I have tried and thoroughly inhaled nearly every item on the menu. Creative cooking and delicious ingredients can’t go wrong. Good wine list and cocktails. The service and ambiance are perfect for a business lunch or casual happy hour. I always recommend R Bar to my clients visiting the area. A must!

Located in the Arlington Hilton. While I’ve been here several times, I’ve only sat at the bar, I haven’t ordered anything off their menu, booze only.
Place has several things going for it I like. It’s nice, really nice, nice digs, tables and booths are available if you want to make it a bit more private. There is a nice patio on the outside, but it shares a curb with the unloading for the hotel, so take it at that. The bar is four sided, marble tops, padded chairs. It’s quiet, anyway, it has been on my visits. This isn’t the place to get loud with your buddies. Clientele appears mostly from the hotel, and mostly business.
The big point for me, is the quiet. There is a music service being played over the speakers, but it’s never too loud. This is what I’ve been looking for lately. There are plenty of loud places around with bad acoustics. It’s nice to know there is one place where I can actually hear myself think if needed. Easy to carry on a conversation here.
And.it’s reasonably «dim» here. Not too dark, but not bright, pretty perfect. Only downside is the TV’s at the bar are basically right above your head, so you gotta crane your neck to see them, or lean back, a little awkward. There are more TV’s scattered around the room.
It’s a nice place, but expect to pay more. I’m shelling out about $ 1 more on average on drinks. Service has been good, and if you want food, they try to serve a higher end menu, but there are burgers and such available. But if you’re tired of loud, crazy places, this would be a break from those. Rio Mambo and BFF Asian down the street are nice places, but they can get loud, so I mosey down here sometimes.

I love the atmosphere here. One of the nicest bars in North Arlington! Pizza is good but it ALWAYS needs to be cooked longer then they do it. It is a hotel bar so I wish more locals came here because there is a lack of modern bars in the area.

This place was over priced and over seasoned. One to many ingredients on everything. Smoked ranch dressing instead of just ranch for example.

Mediocre at best, lazy staff and the food was on par with a low quality chain restaurant.

Nice space for a hotel bar and restaurant but they haven’t pulled it together-​seems like weak management. Chatting host with his back turned to entering customers, inexperienced staff, and med rare burger came out well done. Plenty of staff but few are productive and adding to my experience.

Delicious, regionally inspired menu with locally sourced ingredients. Fresh, tasty, and the drinks are awesome too.

It’s a classy joint for business class people to unwind.
The food is complex and the menu is very unique. Oyster nachos! Country fryed chicken tacos! Kobe burgers! Goat cheese pizzas!
The price is right for the for the high cuisine that is powered. Although by no means am I saying this place is affordable to eat lunch here on a regular basis if you work near the area.
Decoration is fancy. Marble bar-​top. Leather seats. The area is wide open with lots of space. It could be a great spot for happy hour or watching a sports event.
Service. Kind of slow
Extras. Lots of flat scans.
