My wife and I have now gone to Arnaud's three times. Each time we've ordered something different. Each visit has been enjoyable. This last visit was probably the best. My wife had the lamb, and I had the Chilean sea bass. Each dish was served and presented beautifully. The sea bass had a light brown seared crust, holding in the heat and the flavor. The lamb had a unique bed of sweet potato, and was ringed with seasoned pear slices. I made the sea bass disappear, and my wife had to take home half of the lamb as the portion was hearty. Our drinks were exquisite. The artist behind the bar built a mezcal / cucumber spicy drink for my wife. I had bourbon / scotch / maple cocktail that was fantastic - not sweet yet flavorful and enjoyable. I'll come clean: I had 3 of them. We were there for the opening of Arnaud's. It's obvious that they've ironed out all the wrinkles, listened to customers wants, and created a comfortable establishment with a steak and seafood menu that is unique to the area. You expect to see a place like this in Boston or Portsmouth. The fact that it's here in Riverdale, within walking distance of my apartment is almost criminal. If that's the case, then I am going to be a repeat offender.
Loved it!! Highly recommend that you get the red wine reduction and slather everything with it. Wine and cocktails were also top notch. Really excited to face such an amazing restaurant in the area!
My husband decided to treat me for my birthday . I had an amazing time the food was absolutely delicious and the staff was very attentive and professional.
Elevated yet relaxed Excellent food Came in late yet they were very accommodating Will have to come back Annie a very present hostess
Did not even know this place was here, I live nearby and had reservations at another place but they were overbooked, I stopped in was able to get seated for a party of 5 people. The T-Bones steak was amazing, will definitely be back
I cannot stop raving about this experience. Nate, our waiter, was so patient and kind. He really took the time to answer all our questions and check up on us when needed. His suggestions were spot on and I’m so glad we had him. The food was amazing. I had filet mignon with bacon Mac & cheese and Brussels sprouts, and my partner had the t bone steak with mashed potatoes. Everything 10/10 and we’re hard critics. Dessert was amazing. I had crème brûlée and he had chocolate cake with ice cream. Not many people there, as it’s a new restaurant that not many people know of yet. To the owners - I suggest working on your social media marketing for the restaurant. It’s a gem and the best way to get people coming is your socials.
