Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Arden

Great food and Jennifer was a wonderful server. Surprisingly not too crowded but great atmosphere. Disappointed that my pass holder discount couldn’t be used.

To be upfront, this would have been a 5 star but for the fact that one entree was unacceptable BUT to give the restaurant proper credit they did take the charge off the bill and were very polite about it. Otherwise other meals were great. The Duck was outstanding, the fish special (salmon) was very good, the gnocchi app was 100% and the wagyu beef tarter was exceptional. While the group did not order a bottle of wine the list appears very good to excellent. The red wines by the glass recommended by the server was spot on to what my quest was seeking. Good call. We will return.

Our party of six were all pleasantly surprised as this was our first visit. Two locals in this party and the rest outlanders. We were greeted warmly and our waiter was well-informed about the menu and preparation of the food. Our starters were all over the top delicious and chef-inspired. The BLT was by far the favorite but bacon board was also a hit. We all ordered either the ribs or their famous lemon-dusted fried chicken. Everyone enjoyed their dinner immensely and boxes were brought to take an abundance of this delicious fare home for leftovers! It will not be wasted! I can not close without commenting on the ambience. It was warm, inviting and cleverly decorated. We will return!

If you are looking for extraordinary experience for dining, this is it !! Beyond professional greeting, hosting to table, intro by waiter. Waiter was beyond expectations, with recommendations on wine pairing, sauces on selections, and general menu options. Had charred octopus to start, Elk loin with suggested sauce and seared scallops as addition. Saulteed mushrooms, creamy mashed potatoes as side. Would order again and again !! Strawberry Bruelee for desert !! Do not want to spoil visit!!! Wait until you are handed the menu !!!! Trust Me !!

Excellent food. Small restaurant so not too loud. Great fresh oysters on the half shell.
