    What an incredible night we had! We sat on the beautiful backyard patio. We ordered a bottle of wine recommended by the Somm who was enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable. Food was exceptional as always! Then to top it off we had an impromptu Chartreuse tasting. Truly a night to remember! Can’t wait to come back.

    Very nice evening on Arlo’s beautiful back terrasse. Server was very helpful, competent, amicable and yet not intrusive. We appreciated his advice on wine selection. Food was outstanding and fresh. We will be back for sure.

    The service is exceptional. We thought the music did not match the restaurant at all. We liked the food and wine but not enough to make this a staple for us. Good to experience it first hand

    Tim was our waiter and he was amazing! Extremely knowledgeable about the food and especially the wine/alcohol. Food was really tasty! The Terrine was delicious as was the Arctic Char. The duck skewer was extremely tasteful and the coleslaw and fries were a great combo. The haddock was also delicious!

    As it is with every time I’ve gone, Arlo is a memorable and delectable experience. The food is creative, the flavours new, and everyone who works there is attentive and friendly. The ambience is both fresh and fun. The back patio is my favourite, always tastefully decorated. The plates are works of art - I’m going to have to purchase a pair. I always have a good time at Arlo. Can’t recommend highly enough.

    This was our first time at Arlo. The restaurant is small but nice inside. The appetizers were amazing and the mains above average but nothing incredible. The tables are very close together and we were surrounded by bigger groups which made it very loud and difficult to talk. Overall a good restaurant to check out.

    It was a nice evening. Some food dishes were delicious, but others like the artichoke salad and halibut were misses. The ingredients were quality, but the prep of some dish was lackluster and not good value for money. The salt rocks on some bites were overpowering. The server and atmosphere were charming which made the evening.

    Our dining experience at Arlos was outstanding. The staff couldn't do enough for us to make our evening special. My wife and I were celebrating our 17th wedding anniversary and would recommend Arlo's to anyone who wish to have a great experience. This has been my third trip to Arlo's. They pay a great deal of attention to detail, refilling your water glass, and asking if everything is ok. The food portions are just right and prepared well. The oysters were the freshest I have ever had. We will be back for sure.

    For a first timer, need to explain that the orders are in small portions meant to be shared and not the usual style of ordering where each guest is served the same menu.

    First visit: Very, very good food; will be going back! Front of main room was quite loud, likely due to shape of bay window facing outside. Wine list is huge and full of unusual choices from around the world, but could us a few more choices by the glass. Service very capable as well.

    The food, the wine, the ambiance were great, but half of the success of our evening goes to our server François who took such good care of us. He took his time to explain, discuss, and just chat with the 4 of us (2 couples). Thank you for a great evening <3
