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 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!
