The Arms provides a relaxing atmosphere serving up very good food and with exceptional service. We often come here on Friday nights, and always have an excellent time.

Booked a table for dinner here for a birthday celebration. Service was slow, we had to track our server down a couple of times and it was not busy or full. Food was good enough but the whole thing felt forced. Idk if hotel guests or those ordering alcohol have a different experience but it was just ok. Also the host commented on the fact that it was a birthday celebration but that was it. Not a cupcake or anything to mark the occasion.....then why ask and mention it? Ofc we had arranged for our own cake and celebration but it was just another lost opportunity to provide a good experience and encourage repeat business. A disappointment overall.

The food and service were excellent !! They went above and beyond and gave us a complimentary fruit plate too

We dined in on Aug 7 before heading to the comedy fest. Top notch service and outstanding food! The Rockefeller oysters were so good we had to order another order of them to go with our mains.

Delighted

We enjoyed a wonderful breakfast, with food as ordered, with proper temperature and served by a pleasant server. Our meal and opportunity was as we expected.

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.

Bob and Diane

Second time we have been for brunch, so good and service is excellent. Love the way servers are dressed, they look so comfortable.

Susan

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.

Sarah

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.

Beth

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!

Rebekah

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!
