Enjoyable evening in the patio at this Resy restaurant. We took our dog which was awesome. The atmosphere was festive. I had a couple of their Pilsner beer that comes in a cold can. My wife has a glass of redwine. We had ther nachos to start which was amazing. We also had the meat ball sandwich. Meh. Ther shrimp adobo. Very spicy and one of their salads with chicken. All in all food was a 4 star. Bio came to $160 for 4 people which I guess these days is average.

My partner and I tried this restaurant for our first time last night and I was blown away! The food was incredible and the staff are top-notch! I wish I would remember the receptionist’s name and our servers name. We will certainly be back! If you’re thinking of a place to eat- this is the one!
We had pork belly, pasta, and octopus! Absolutely delicious!

We visited Arc Butcher & Baker on October 18, and it was a wonderful experience. We ordered the sausage, ribs, bacon and onion flatbread, duck fries, and mac & cheese for the kids. Everything had incredible flavor and was clearly made with quality ingredients. The drinks were also excellent and paired well with the food.

What really stood out were the sauces honestly, some of the best I’ve had. Every dish we tried had a sauce that elevated the flavors, tying everything together perfectly.

The patio dining setup is fantastic and one of the highlights of the restaurant. It’s ideal for a relaxed outdoor meal, though it can get a bit warm in the afternoon, so if you’re looking for an indoor dining experience, it might not be the best fit.

The staff was friendly and approachable. Service wasn’t over-the-top or overly polished, but it was solid and welcoming, which fit the laid-back vibe of the place.

Overall, I’d rate this experience around 4.6. It’s easily one of the better dining spots we’ve tried in Southern California, and we’re already looking forward to going back.

Food:3.5. Service: 5. Atmosphere:4. Steak brought out was cold like it was made yesterday. I don’t mind it but for the price, I expected a little bit better. Everything was good.

This place is allergic to flavor. We came in after this was highly recommended, and for the life of me l cannot understand why. If you enjoy pretty food that tastes like cardboard this is the place for you. We ordered a steak and salad, both lacked luster. The German chocolate cake doesn't have sugar in it. Do yourself a favor and save the money!

We were looking forward to some items that were listed on the menus on the website, only to find out that they stopped offering them months ago, and their website is the last place to be updated. Also, we were seated near a water feature that lightly sprayed onto my white top, which got copper wet stains on it.

I enjoyed the glazed Seabass; it was a unique and solid dish.
The hummus, tzatziki, and labneh trio was a tad disappointing—the hummus is runny and doesn’t have a good thickness or consistency.

Fun little hidden gem of a restaurant. Lovely covered patio with flowers, we sat inside since patio was full. Ridiculously delicious battered and fried green olives appetizer with a romesco sauce. The other app was 3 dips, tzatziki, hummus and labneh with flat bread seasoned with paprika. Jackie was a delightful server, attentive and we got a bag of their delicious scottimos chocolate chip cookies.
