The food was such a disappointment. I am from Paris, moved to Manhattan and French cuisine can be incredibly well executed or average. This was tragic. Too bad. We were very excited to find a fine dining restaurant in our neighborhood. It did not happen.

We tried the Supper Club - a 3 or 5 course dining experience offered the first Wednesday of the month. What a fun and elegant dining experience! Top shelf service, gorgeous Holiday decor, and exquisite French cuisine. Imaginative chef selections including Red Stag that was hearty yet refined. The cocktails are beautiful and filled to the brim. Lovely staff. You get what you pay for.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Merci ! The staff was welcoming and helpful. The food was great. Beautiful setting. We enjoyed our time there.

Disappointing! This was one of our favorite special restaurants under the previous owner. This time not so much. The dining room has been upgraded and the wait staff is young but efficient. The food though does not justify the prices they are charging. Portions are small and not well prepared. I ordered the steak and frites medium rare, came out very thin and well done. My wife ordered the fish and again a very small portion and the almond toping and lemon were burned. We had a gift certificate and they would not allow balance to be applied to the tip. We will probably not return!

At $250 per couple, the experience fell short. The room was noisy, the service perfectly average, and the food just okay. Nothing was bad, but nothing impressed either. For that price point, you expect a highlight but there wasn't one.

This was our first time at the Arch. Went for a special occasion; birthday celebration. Always wanted to try it. The downgrade to business casual dress made it more appealing. The service was impeccable and extremely friendly. The food was excellent, especially the scallop appetizer special and the halibut entree special. Definitely plan to return during warmer weather to sit outside.

Excellent food, good drinks, good service... ambience a little old style but the food make it worth

One of the best restaurants of our trip in the US. The atmosphere is elegant yet cosy. The food was impeccable. Don’t miss the soufflés. The cheese and liqueur were to die for. The service also was attentive.

The Arch is easily accessible and set back off the road for a secluded country setting. We were greeted at the door and seated near the fireplace where we enjoyed drinks and a delicious lamb Burgoyne. The staff was attentive and polite. Definitely returning!
First time back under new the ownership. We had frequented the Arch several times over the past several years. The updated decor is very well done and welcoming. Service is very good and attentive. However the quality of the cuisine has gone down. I ordered escargot bourguignonne that were totally tasteless. The duck a L’orange was not properly prepared and the crab lobster cakes were just okay. No longer good French dining. For the prices they charge, the food should be better.

Everything we ate was outstanding from the appetizers salads entrees and the soufflé over the top delicious. If you want a special night out with great food and service this is the place to go

I attended Sunday Brunch. I started with polenta bites and had Croque madame as entree. Meal was outstanding. I was too sated to order dessert! Meal, service, and atmosphere were outstanding. Well worth the price! Also, a very romantic place!

I have never had french cuisine till dining here. My words would truly fall shorts for how outstanding the food tastes and the service is. So many attentive personnel. The atmosphere took you out of Brewster, New York and into a warm and peaceful far-off place. For my first experience myself, my husband, our kids and family members have been incredibly impressed. We will be returning, and I am eager to do so.

The servers were all welcoming and diligent. We had the cheese soufflé, duck, chicken poulet, pasta and branzino and everyone loved everything ordered. None of us had been there in years, but we'll definitely change that. We noticed a sign for new ownership and while we had no issues with previous ownership (the food has always been great), we thought we'd stop in after a long absence. It was a great night!
