About the restaurant

The Uptown go-to (or to-go, if that's your fancy). Brimming with quality seafood, pristine cuts of meat, and fresh vegetables done just right, The Neighborly is the elevated neighborhood spot you've been looking for. Slide into a rich, tufted leather booth, or grab a seat at our bustling bar, either way the drinks are cold and the food just right.

We are now open for Brunch on Saturdays & Sundays from 9:30am-2pm!

Great restaurant. Beautiful setting. Delicious food. Top notch service. I applaud this restaurant for not using seed oils with the exception of their fryer. Hopefully that will change to beef tallow soon. Looking forward to our next visit, we are locals.

This is my fave go to spot in Arcadia. Easter brunch menu was so good. I asked for two slices of bacon and of course they added it. The best French toast I’ve ever had so delicious.
