The meal was excellent. Our server was very attentive and checked back with us to ensure everything was fine. Our food came out on a timely basis and cooked to perfection. We ordered the sea bass, pork chops and cornish hen. We were all extremely satisfied with our entrees. The portions were very generous. For dessert we had mango sorbet, homemade ice cream and flourless torte with raspberry sorbet. We were very pleased with our dessert and again the portions were generous .
Thanks for the fantastic service and delicious breakfasts. What a great way to start our day and week. Can't wait to come back!
This was my first time dining here and I can't wait to go back. I had the fried chicken sandwich and it was beyond delicious, with a nice little zing of spiciness to it. So much flavour! My friend had the hodge podge with the addition of 6 beautifully perfect golden scallops on top, and she said that it was wonderful. The service was top notch as well. The only negative would be that the washrooms were oddly up and around 3 flights of stairs, so I'm not sure how accessible it would be for anybody with mobility issues. I'm not sure if there is an elevator option to get up there.
My lobster roll was fantastic! Best ive had in quite a while. My husbands smoked salmon eggs benny was a disapointment. The salmon was clunky and a bit dry and the eggs were way over cooked. The free ceasar was a wonderful suprise! All in, though, service was excellent. We will definately return.
Second time we have been for brunch, so good and service is excellent. Love the way servers are dressed, they look so comfortable.
Their regular lunch me au wasn't available and that's why I chose this place for our after grad luncheon. No option other than brunch. Service very slow.
Venue was nice old school classic hotel vibes . Food was mediocre and service was lacking. Instead of writing down our order the waiter had to come back to confirm our order and still forgot the appetizer. Nothing was offered to make up for the mistake.
Great food. Lovely service. Made me a special mocktail at my request which was excellent. Quiet enough to have a conversation but not so quiet that our laughter felt out of place. Overall great place to have dinner and drinks with friends!
Daniela was a fantastic server! Excellent food- the fish and chips & Banofee pie are a must if you are feeling home sick for the UK. Generous portions (the banoffee pie was huge!) and excellent value. We love the Arms!
My girlfriend and I went to The Arms for a Valentine's Day dinner and were greeted by welcoming and conversational staff, a large menu, and great food. We were super happy with the experience overall!

We have been to The Arms many times but for this visit we enjoyed their “Dine Around” menu for 2025 & it was SO amazing! 10/10! The Tuna Tataki & the Pan Roasted Pork Tenderloin were both cooked to perfection & so full of flavour! Portions were amazing! Also Sean was our server and he was fantastic! The Arms is always a great choice for a wonderful experience! The meal was so good we only got photos of the start & finish of the evening!
Service was amazing, and the nachos are HUGE! Perfect portion for a group of friends, and so delicious!
Was perfect for our book club lunch and discussion . We typically struggle to find locations that are not too noisy. Service was great.
We had a lovely meal served by Ann, meal was delicious and service was great!! Love the vibe and look forward to our next visit.
I had the fish and chips. The batter was too heavy and soggy or doughy on the inside. I extracted the fish and left the batter. I don't care for the coated French fries but that's a personal choice. My wife had the risotto dish and it was just OK. The squash in it was delicious. The serivice was excellent.
