    Bonjour, Nous avons beaucoup aimé le service courtois et la nourriture. Les points faibles étaient qu’il faisait froid, la musique trop rock à notre goût ce qui empêche l’ambiance recherchée dans un Bistro Pub. Finalement le prix est trop élevé en lien avec le contenu, trop de frites, manque de finesse dans les accompagnements des plats par contre le canard était délicieux. Excellent service.

    Thé service is always impeccable. Good info on the ingredients and allergens and a willingness to accommodate for diet and timing eg pre-concert. Thanks to the team at Arlo for another great evening of high quality food and drink.

    Overall the service was good. The food was mediocre with the fish was overcooked and did not seem fresh. Not very cohesive flavours in the main dish, oysters were very good but overpriced, coffee and dessert were both good. The wines were disappointing. Ambience was forgettable and the noise level was high.

    just had a dinner with a big group here celebrating my birthday and as always, this spot is reliably fantastic. our server was kind and personable (I think his name was Tim!) , food was yummy and I'm a sucker for a warm, inviting ambience + aesthetically pleasing decor which Arlo nails. I'll be back soon!! <3

    Once again, we enjoyed and heavenly meal at this amazing restaurant, this time with our 6-month old. Alex and Marc were so welcoming as usual, and we were again surprised by delicious and exciting new combinations of flavours. So fresh, so balanced, so yummy. They even brought a delicious bowl of "pommes purées" for our Beatrice, which kept her busy and interested for quite a while. She was in heaven, and so were we! If you haven't tried this spot yet, do it asap. Thanks again, guys!

    Our first time and we we're very happy with our experience. Limited menu, but the food was excellent. Little note : we we're hoping to sip on a ceasar..but they had no tomato juice. Tomato juice / clomato is not a scarce ressource.

    Enjoyable evening overall. Service was slow, cocktails took forever and seemed a touch stingy for the cost. Apps were solid. Pork blade was visually unappealing but tasted good, duck brochettes and celeriac dishes were a hit. Great wine offerings and always, love the tunes.

    The sommelier was extremely boorish. His first question was how much do you want to spend ? He complained about not being able to hear me and seemed not to understand my desire for a mineral fresh Italian white. I guess he's not used to older women and doesn't like to get close enough to hear them over the Talking Heads Life During Wartime. Snyeay he said he could not recommend any wine without first knowing how much we were willing to spend. Our s server was a delight. We hated the wine he forced on us for the awesome label it was sour AF. Food was great.

    The food was amazing, the server in our section had a perfect service . The bartender service was not as good as the service we had . We were sitting at the bar and then moved to a table. The bartender had a hard time giving us recommendations. Overall the experience was really good . I recommend it.

    One of my favourite places to go out for dinner. They staff are all amazing in both their attention to detail and knowledge of their options. The food menu always has new and delicious options that fit different eating preferences. The wine by the glass lists allow you to try so many combinations of wine to change your glass with each dish. Can’t wait to come back again!
