Beautiful combo of lighting & unfinished wood inside with several different style seating areas. Fresh made pasta appetizer was spectacular! Mediterranean sea bass was excellent, if a bit small. Beef brisket was absolutely delicious, although corned beef style, which our server alerted us to before ordering. Old fashioned and East side cocktails were both solid. Service was helpful and attentive. Would highly recommended for a nice dinner out.

We really enjoyed our experience here. In fact, I have shared with several people since then how much I enjoyed being there, and the fact that it was the best meal I have had for sometime. We had the pork chops and salmon. In particular, we felt the meals were very tasty, well presented, and the carrot cake dessert was unique and simultaneously light and decadent. The service was also excellent. Our drinks were regularly filled, and someone was always checking in with us to make sure all of our needs were fulfilled. The only thing I would change is better signage for parking. It was unclear which parking lot was specific for the restaurant, and because the road is one way, we both, in our separate cars, ended up having to go all the way around the block before figuring out precisely where to go. I had to call for specific instructions, and the person with me called me for further instructions. Better signage outside, and also signage for precisely where to once you get out of your car, would be helpful. Also, since you can only park on one side of the parking lot, signage for that would also be helpful.

We had a great time!-beet salad with Gorgonzola and candied walnuts was great! Walnuts and cheese were the star-shrimp penne pasta was delicious-the REAL star of the show was the apple strudel and ice cream. God DAMN this is how you do desert. Do not miss out on this one

This place is perfect for a date night, as the food selection is tailored for a unique experience and special occasion. They are constantly updating their menu so it's great to go in every now and then to see what offering have changed.
Always a favorite restaurant for my wife and me. We brought another couple to celebrate a very special occasion. Unfortunately, the hostess made it an uncomfortable and poor experience tonight when we arrived for our reservation and she told us either we get the random table in the area where people stand around and wait to be seated or we could take a walk for 15-20 minutes for something else to open up. We took the bad table reluctantly and then watched as she talked to another group in a demeaning way about our group. Seeing and hearing this, we got up and walked out immediately before ordering anything. To the managers credit, he followed us outside and apologized. Miraculously, he immediately had two different options for us to be sat right away. Food is always great and the manager has always been kind and attentive. Our server was good too. Just sucks to have a reservation and then be treated like an afterthought.

Food, service and overall support were 5 stars for this birthday dinner for 12 guests. I stopped off early to drop off flowers for our table and Matt and the team were welcoming and efficient. Nicholas, our primary server, was flawless.

Great service and excellent food. I had the tagliatelle and my wife had the seabass. Drinks were well made and strong. My only complaint is a minor one: it was a bit loud in there.
Excellent location on the corner of Lake and California Blvd. Parking was easy on the streets, not sure if they have a parking lot though. Was seated quickly and the temperature was warm and cozy, with a soft and inviting ambiance. Definitely great for family or friends or even work functions. The food was great and appetizing, the drinks were made well, but they did not know how to do a "mezcal wash" on the whiskey glass, but hopefully they'll learn for future customers. Overall, great food selection of fish and beef. Service was pretty quick but one of the waiters did have an attitude and would not let us place appetizer orders first since we weren't yet decided on the main course. But for another table I heard the waiter take appetizer orders first, so clearly there's inconsistency with their policies or one of the waiters was just grumpy. Overall experience was great, would definitely come back, highly recommended. Hopefully grumpy waiters stay home, but it is not a common occurrence so I do not hold it against the restaurant.

I was looking for a restaurant located between my place and the hotel where my guests were staying, and found The Arbour during a search of restaurants in the target area. I arrived several minutes before the rest of my party and at the manager's suggestion took a seat at the bar. At the bartender's suggestion, I enjoyed a taste of the wine I was considering and then ordered a glass. One of the hostesses soon approached and asked if I'd like to be seated at a table to await the rest of my party. Once they arrived and were greeted by one of the servers who provided water and menus, our regular server, Judy Ann, arrived and greeted us. She helped us select drinks and dinner orders. Food was plentiful, though a bit pricey, and tasty. Later I looked around and noted the large size of The Arbour. It was a busy Saturday evening and almost every table was occupied. The Arbour is an attractive restaurant with a somewhat bouncy vibe. There's convenient parking in the rear. The staff, from bartenders to waitstaff, seemed to know regulars, so I'm guessing this is a regular stop by neighborhood residents.

Outstanding food and service. lance our server was great. Noise level was great low enough to have a good business conversation. Manager came buy to check on how we liked our meal. Desert cheesecake was very good but all deserts expensive
Always a good experience at The Arbour. Food is consistently delicious and the customer service is awesome. People checking up on us to make sure we're okay. The ambiance is very nice as well. Highly recommend!

I love their food!!!!! The only thing I think they could do better is offer a larger selection of dining options. If they can't add to the menu, just have more specials that change regularly. This will keep us wanting to experience the chefs talents.
