ARLINGTON, VA — Patch recently released a poll asking readers to share their recommendations for the best places in and around Arlington to take visitors for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Given how many good restaurants there are in Arlington, it was surprising that no one responded to last month’s survey.
Someone obviously dropped the ball.
That someone was the Arlington editor who inadvertently included the poll created for Fairfax City Patch readers in the article about the Arlington poll.
Despite the confusion this likely caused, a handful of intrepid Arlington foodies ignored all references to Fairfax City in the previous poll and shared their favorite local restaurants. Their responses are posted below.
Anyone who would like to share their picks for the best restaurants in Arlington can scroll to the bottom of this page and fill out the survey. Responses will be used in a future Patch story.
