The latest “Arlington Eats” segment spotlights one of the city’s dining institutions, Candlelite Inn Restaurant, as part of the celebration of Arlington’s 150th anniversary.

Established in 1957, serving steaks, Tex-Mex, pizza, and homemade pies with classic, neighborly hospitality.

"I love the city,” said owner Alan Petsche. “Just the memories and the history was just very important to all of us growing up in this area. This place was date night back in the 70s."

The establishment is located at 1202 E Division St. For updated listing of restaurant hours, visit their Facebook page.
