D Lewis–Not my experience at all. I felt warmly welcomed, well-fed, and well-treated.

I suspect you and your co-workers WERE a bunch of under-paying, over-eating bums. I’m pretty sure they will be better off without you as a customer.

Arlington is very lucky to have this place. Very lucky.

Why do I think there is a story behind the above post?? I have dined at Potager many times, and can’t imagine that this occurred – every one of the staff has always been exceedingly nice and polite to diners, answering questions about the food and the pricing structure.
It sounds to me that someone was trying to pay $1.25 for a full meal – something that I am quite sure happens from time to time.
Don’t ruin a good thing for the rest of us who are willing to pay a fair price for a great meal!!

This was a nice place to visit for lunch however don’t bother. The employees and owners of this restaurant are snobby and certainly don’t know how to treat paying regular customers.

My group of coworkers were basically told, in the middle of the restaurant no less, that we are over-eating bums who try to take advantage of their pricing structure.

Beware that if you eat lunch and spend anything less than $25 apiece, you will be thought of as a nuisance by the employees and owners. There are several places nearby that actually welcomes customers instead of embarrassing and then turning them away.

Hi Maggie! I’m working on my website a bit this morning, and found your site (it’s the one just above mine now) — thanks for mentioning us!

A couple changes, if you are making a list:
– we are now open Thursday, Friday and Saturday for dinner from 5 to 9
– We are open Monday to Saturday for lunch (your site says we are closed on Mondays)
– I have a website (well, kind of one, anyway, but I’m working on making it better), where at least I have a list of links for what has been written about us, and of various suppliers, inspirations, etc. The site is potagercafe.com

Would you like me to let you know if anything needs changing, from now on? I’m trying to stay up-to-date with things like this (this week’s resolution).

Time to go iron napkins. Thanks for bringing the Mayor in the other day, and solving my disaster-in-waiting so quickly. Hope to see you again soon.
