WHINO is a really cool small plates restaurant and art gallery combo on the second floor of Ballston Quarter. When you walk in, you’ll notice contemporary art and paintings hanging throughout the space. It’s worth taking a moment to check them out. The whole place has dim black lighting with warm accents, so it’s got a really inviting atmosphere. It does get busy so expect to zigzag through the crowd to get to your seat.
The menu is small plates style, so the move is to order a bunch of different dishes and share everything around the table. The bites are small and not messy, so you can eat and talk comfortably. We ordered the jamon flatbread, Brussels sprouts, potatoes, and the Wagyu beef sliders. Everything was beautifully presented. The Brussels sprouts had a great crunch while still being soft on the inside. The Wagyu sliders were perfectly made with caramelized beef that was hot and delicious. The potatoes looked amazing, and the jamon flatbread was soft, sweet, and honestly one of the highlights of the meal. We also grabbed a Vienna Lager and a cocktail. The lager was filled to the brim (they’re not skimping on you) and the cocktail had plenty of alcohol and tasted great. Four plates and two drinks came out to about $80, which is very reasonable for the quality.
Our server Faven was super sweet and attentive. The place was definitely busy and the bar area was packed, but even with how crowded it was, our food came out surprisingly fast which was impressive. I’d definitely recommend making a reservation.
The seating is really comfortable, squishy and soft, which makes a big difference when you’re sitting and enjoying your meal. We sat in the middle of the restaurant but there are window seats available too where you can look out over Ballston Quarter.
This is a textbook first date spot. It’s not too expensive but not too cheap, the food is amazing and beautifully presented, and the vibe is perfect for sitting and having a good conversation.
Getting there: It’s on the second floor of Ballston Quarter. If you’re driving, park in the Ballston Quarter garage (super cheap, we paid about $1 for a few hours on a Friday). From the second floor of the garage, walk through the double doors into the mall, turn right, then turn left down the main hallway and walk all the way down. It’s tucked in the corner with dim warm lighting, hard to miss. Ballston Metro is also right there if you don’t drive.

In addition to hosting my 40th birthday here last year- I recently hosted a Galentines dinner. Shoutout to Jenn Steadman and her team for making this a great experience. They accommodated my party and we had a blast! Whino is the place to be whether it is date night or having a big party!

The event venue is super unique and the food is wonderful, full of style and flavor. The dishes are globally inspired and I tell you it’s hard to find a place like this here . A great option for those looking to host an event or just have a good time w good food/drinks here in Arlington.
p.s.: I’m a local fan.

We found the location in search of an engagement party venue. Came by in November to try it out before deciding and instantly loved the atmosphere and the cocktails. We just hosted our engagement party this past weekend and we are so happy we chose Whino as our venue! The vibe was perfect, the event coordinator and general manager were very helpful and easy to work with in planning the event, catering/drink options are so flexible and delicious options. Our guests cleared every tray and raved about the food. The option for drink tickets was excellent and not offered by many other venues. Service during the event was excellent as well. And the setting gave us the unique experience we were looking for since we like art!

My friend and I recently went here for her bday. What a fun atmosphere as I love art, and been wanting to taste their menu items. We went during happy hour, and the food was absolutely excellent! I am not a fan of oysters, but oh my their sauce was so delicious that I ordered more! Everything we ordered other than the vegetable chips were tasty! Customer service was impressive! Would recommend this place and look forward to our next visit to savor different menu items.

We enjoyed dinner and dancing at “Whino”. The food was fairly good. Drinks were nice as well. Service was excellent. However…..
The part we didn’t like was a mandatory 20% gratuity tip that was put on our bill because it was an event. They charged extra to anyone that ordered food but never explained this before we ordered. We were only a party of 2 people which made no sense why we would pay extra just because of the venue.
Mind you the venue wasn’t free. We paid money just to enter. I felt cheated because they are just bleeding you out for money at this point. I mentioned this to the establishment and they stood by the extra fee. I won’t be going back. My rating is 1.5 out of 5.

I have had the pleasure of dining here a few times. It is mostly shareable small plates. The prices aren’t too bad themselves. At night time, there is a DJ who played some really good music. There are also art works to check out. I loved the vibe and the atmosphere here. Taste-wise, the food was good as well. They give you a decent portion so that you can truly share it. I would definitely dine again!

My low rating was for the food. Nothing I ate or saw on the menu was amazing, but I’d return for happy hour and the great service! We came here for our team holiday dinner and the servers/atmosphere were great! The food didn’t do it for me, but everyone that works here is super sweet. They went above and beyond to provide us great service, and it was appreciated. We will definitely be back for happy hour!

Went here with a couple friends. Food was fairly priced and pretty good. The atmosphere was a bit too loud for comfortable conversation. I would probably not come here again but I’m still glad to have visited and experienced the venue.
