    I was there for a work lunch recently with a large group of people. We had a wonderful experience. The host was excellent making sure we liked our table and asking if we wanted water prior to our guests arriving. The wait staff was suburb and the food was outstanding. I had the mushroom pasta special and it was phenomenal. Thank you for a great experience!

    We had a very enjoyable time at scratchboard for dinner. Much of that was due to our waitress who was fantastic… Believe her name was Lisa. The ambience is great. Downtown Arlington is great, and I certainly appreciate having scratchboard as part of the restaurant scene. The overall consensus was that the food was good, but small portions and pricey.. I want this restaurant to succeed because they are an important part of the community. I will continue to go back and hope they will consider these aspects of the dining experience.
