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/

Our server Jessicah was terrific. We were a group of 18 that came in at seperate times but she had everyone taken care of right away, kept the food and drinks coming and cleared the tables promptly with a big smile.

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!
