Food was excellent. My friend had a good serving of chicken that she had to take a doggie bag home. Great value for your money. The waitress treated me to a nice liqueur as an after dinner dessert. I would come back again.

The food and service were great. We were a table for 4 and ate from the Happy Hour and Patio menus. The fresh oysters were delicious and a bargain at $1.75, calamari, fries platter and rigatoni bolognese were also delicious. The Saturday night music was the 360 band. Great music but a bit too loud for the size of the venue. Service was excellent as always. Will miss Sanjit our server who is leaving soon.

The smoked Sablefish was as good a dish that I have tasted. So was the chowder. We had a great server. the room is large and a bit cold and not the best but the view is good. I would recommend ARC for the great food and service/

Great service! Kaylene consistently checked in with our table without being overbearing. We also enjoyed the pizza deal. The burrata pizza was our favourite (the other pizzas were just ok). Thank you for accommodating our larger group!
