Arable is now open for lunch, so a friend and I tried it yesterday. They're carving out a new identify in what I would call local gastropub food, and succeeding nicely. My burger was delicious, clearly freshly ground beef and cooked just right, with a lovely brioche-style bun and fresh sides, plus very good skinny fries. My friend's salad was beautifully presented and a nice combination of flavors, also fresh. And the dessert our waiter suggested--a pear tart--really shone. The service was friendly and accommodating, and the place is comfortable and well-appointed, with a nice neighborhood feel. Give the new Arable a try--you won't be sorry!

The food was spectacular, Ben the bartender is the best, and the atmosphere was outstanding. The pris fixe menu for $75 was a great deal. Hands down the best New Year’s Eve meal I’ve has in a long time!

It seems they are under the shadow of the previous owner since they have carried on with the name Arable. I can understand the negative comments about the current Arable but lots of them are not exactly fair.This was our second time there since they reopened and I would have to say that it was a totally different set of staff working there again while the food quality was similar. My companion enjoyed his Bison Bolognese pasta and I liked my Pork chop although it was a bit undercooked for my taste.The service was great, specially our waitress who was extremely friendly and helpful. The decor and the atmosphere are now different than the original Arable. But I can see that they are trying. It’s just that they might not have found their own identity.

I don't like to leave less than 4 or 5 star reviews but I'm hoping the owner sees this and can turn this place around before it's too late. This place has the potential to be such a gem, but they just can't seem to get it together.We've been there probably a dozen or more times since they opened. The issues at first we chalked up to being new, but it's way past that now.It's like they can't decide who they want to be. The quality of the ingredients seems to be fine, but then they screw it up in the kitchen. Brussels were so much better at the beginning, and they've tried it w bacon (yum) ; vegetarian with caramelized onions and vinegar, also yum. Now, it's this nasty, greasy half burnt half undercooked glob w about 1/10 a teaspoon of Parm on it. It's nasty. I don't understand why you changed it, but it's gross. So many wonderful options with good sprouts this time of year, it would be so wonderful to have tasty ones again.A few pro tips: French onion soup should not reek of black pepper. It should be sublime and taste of wine and broth and onion. All I can taste is black pepper, and the stock is burnt.Caesar salad should NOT be overrun with cayenne pepper. Why did you start doing that? It's a sacrilege. The lettuce is wilty and limp and all you can taste in the dressing is stale cayenne.. it was SO good at first. Why change it? It's stale cayenne. Omg no. No.The bun should not be served frozen and twice as big as the burger.And so on. You guys have such a great model and so much potential. The space is awesome. The staff is super sweet, but there is nothing cohesive. They literally all seem like they are brand new and I know they've been there as long as we've been going.We should not have to wait an hour for food when there are only 4 other people there and then it's still not right.Final for us was a recent carry out. 2 soups, 1 salad and 1 sprouts was $50. They told us 20 minutes and it took an hour. The bag was so poorly packed the soup spilled all over the car. The sprouts were a mess of oil and grease and just nasty. We tossed them and most of the salad, and lost most of the soup due to the poor pack job. We supplemented our $50 dinner with PB&j because pretty much the whole thing was spilled in the car or simply too disgusting to eat.We won't return any time soon and it' s a bummer because we were so hopeful this would be good. If you can get back to how your kitchen was in the beginning , please respond to this and we'll come try again, but after this and the last carry-out, we are pretty much done .

We were a party of 3 and sat outside this past Friday. I would like this restaurant to be successful. I ordered the sole, another ordered the salmon risotto, and the 3rd ordered the summer harvest pasta. We shared calimari and caprese salad. The calimari was dry and over cooked. The salad and entrees were delicious. The wait service was good. But, the kitchen is very slow to get food out. Over an hour between appetizers and entrees. I got up twice to go check on our entrees. One of the staff offered bread in response to my inquiry re our entrees. If they can get the kitchen better organized, this would be a good place to go. If not, it will be too frustrating to have a good time there.
We tried this restaurant based on reviews. We had a reservation and were seated promptly when we arrived on time. Our order was taken but never came. We waited 1.5 hours before leaving in frustration. There weren't that many people there, we saw others served before us, and we saw another couple walk out also. We do not recommend!

Informal neighborhood restaurant right in the ElDorado community. Good food and cheerful staff , and a relaxed and friendly atmosphere Patio dining very pleasant.

7/20/2023FOOD: Under new management so we tried it out: Anything grilled was good (burger, steak, etc.). Calamari was good, but the sauce was not. Brussels sprouts were dry. Garlic in spinach was nearly raw.SERVICE:I ordered a drink and without asking me got a completely different drink because "they didn't know how to make it". The manager for the front decided to have long and loud conversations with every table, including telling an off-color joke to one of the tables. He was all about the TMI.

This is a totally underrated gem The food is excellent. The wine is well priced. Service is fine. It is a shame that more people are not flocking here. We have eaten here 3 times in June-July and it is great… Give the hanger steak, the crab cake and the Caesar salad. A try
