"Arpeggio Grill’s dark, cozy dining room smells faintly of hookah—probably from the lounge they own next door—mixed with the scents of olive oil, gyro meat, and the hundreds of other items on their massive menu that spans everything from pizza and wings, to kofta kabob and slow-cooked lamb shanks. Don’t be intimidated—just show up at lunch when you can get a platter with any three sides (we like the hummus), a salad, bottomless pita bread, a soda, and a plate of gyro or shawarma meat for about $12. Nothing here will be the best version of itself, but it all gets the job done with reasonable prices and large portions. They’ve also got a few ground-level tables where you can take off your shoes and sit down on a cushion for an extra-comfortable dining experience. " - nicolai mccrary
