   Thank you so much we had a last minute booking for our daughters birthday when the other reservation cancelled due to power outage. Thank you for arranging specials cocktails and dessert - our daughter and guests had a wonderful experience at a restaurant they were longing to visit. It all works out. Many thanks for you attention to service !

   Nourriture et service exceptionnel. Musique d’ambiance beaucoup trop forte .. on se croirait plutôt dans une discothèque Expérience culinaire extraordinaire mais le bruit m’empècherait d’y retourner.. vraiment dommage

   Suggest to lower music indoors to allow patrons to have a discussion while dining. It was more of a bar level of music.

   The only place in Ottawa you can trust to have a great time from start to finish. Food, wine list and cocktails are curated and executed so wonderfully. Oysters are shucked great. Always love coming here.

   Everything about Arlo is wonderful. The decor is unique and ultra inviting, the food is delicious, the wine list incredible and the service so warm and inviting (thank you Alex and Jenna!! (sp?) that we felt as if we’d been to a fabulous dinner party with exceptional hosts. Everyone in the restaurant seemed to be feeling the same great vibe, what a special place!!!

    If you haven’t been to ARLO, you must go -such a cool collective and vibe, and their artisanal approach to food and bevies is second to none. I’m sorry I wasn’t able to return later in the evening for the after dinner vibe - but I will be back!

    Dining at Arlo is always a nice treat. This time we were there to celebrate a birthday. The back patio was the perfect place to enjoy an intimate meal and get out of the extreme heat. The service was very attentive and the food and drinks were delicious as always. Will be back again as it’s a favourite spot in Centretown.

    We had the pleasure of finally getting out to Arlo on Saturday night. What a wonderful experience, any expectations we had were wildly exceeded. This place is as unique as the talented team that brought this gem to the ottawa dining scene. The menu compliments the thoughtful wine list, and one would be pressed to find flaw in the deftly executed, clean and focused food coming from the behind the curtain. As an Ottawa restaurant vet I have known the gifted team for some time now, and have had the pleasure of eating their food and enjoying their approach to service in other dining rooms in town. None compare to what they are doing at Arlo. Well Done and Thank You!!

    We had the Arctic char tartare, bread with bouillion, and crispy shiitake to start and then the cod and eggplant dishes as mains. Everything was excellent, service was amazing as were the wine recommendations. This was my second time here and it does not disappoint!!

    The place has a nice vibe, but it is extremely noisy, to the point that I found myself having to shout to my partner. The menu is interesting, but a bit limited, The seafood broth with bread sounded promising, but was pretty uninteresting—the bread was boring white and the broth was not terribly special. I would not order that again. The fried shitake mushrooms were excellent— a real keeper. We shared oysters, which were delicious and presented with nice toppings, including homemade hot sauce with whiskey. The lamb ribs were nicely spiced, with a crusty citrus-y top, but they were very rich and fatty. They came with frites mayonnaise, which were good. The dessert menu was limited also, which is fine, but all the desserts were very rich, so we gave them a pass. Would I go back? Perhaps, but not on a Saturday night, where the noise level—not helped by the overly loud music— makes talking difficult. Overall, I was a bit underwhelmed.

    We absolutely loved our first trip to Arlo last night! We had some bubbles by the glass, oysters, and the crispy shiitake mushrooms. Everything was delicious, and our sever was really knowledgeable. We especially liked the ambiance, which was warm and lively. I can’t believe it took us so long to try this spot, but we’ll definitely be going back!

    Arlo is in a nice neighbourhood restaurant with excellent service. We personally didn't like the food, but the menu changes. We ordered bread it was normal white bread wth whipped butter and seafood broth. It was ok. We had shiitake mushrooms they were a bit bland, The French fries were great. The, stuffed egg plant ok but skin on and very tough not easy to eat. Pear and radish salad pickled mushrooms, very very pickled. The restaurant was busy and the service was great.

    Went there on a whim. Was at a restaurant across the street the week before and Googled Arlo after seeing the building...and all as I can say is...a VERY pleasant surprise. There's a really fun vibe in a newly renovated space that is unpretentious and full of character. Not sure if each staff member is a partner in the place but it felt like they were/ are all owners. Background music sound track was eclectic - food was a solid 'very good' with others at the table saying there choices were 'excellent'. Each of the staff there was more than friendly without being sappy. We've already recommended it to friends of ours - will most certainly be back.

    Good food, and friendly staff. The lamb ribs were delicious, though I didn't expect them to be sweet. It gets busy quickly closer 6:30pm so helps to book an earlier reservation a bit ahead of the dinner rush.
