    The experience was outstanding because of the service. Sailo (?) was so considerate and sweet. He have our party the right amount of attention and space so that we could catch up and have uninterrupted conversations. He was great a reading the group. Because of the service (from woman on the phone, to the person who greeted us at the front, to the wine connoisseur who offered bottles of wine that were not on the list, to the live music that was at a very pleasant volume, to the bartender who personally came to check on us and switched out a friends drink because she said it was a tad sweet, to the exceptional waiter who didn’t rush us out despite being the last table to leave), I give this restaurant the highest rating possible!! Thank you for a great experience. We will definitely be back for the holidays and will spread the word. Excellent service like this is hard to come by. Wish this restaurant the very best!

    The food was delicious. The waiters are friendly and helpful. We really liked to smoke ahi starter as well as the lamb chops and the fish dishes.

    Arden is a wonderful experience. Shareable plates of such variety and all of it so delicious. Attentive staff. Lots of space between tables. A lone musician performing lovely ballads and standards. I wish I had room for dessert. If you get there early for happy hour, try some half portions of shareables at the bar. Highlights: seared ahi - best I have ever had, venison tartare, shishito peppers, ahi poke, mushroom rice, zucchini bake.

    The food was innovative, fresh and delicious. If you are looking for something different then I suggest you give it a try. A fresh twist on familiar foods.

    The food was exceptional. And, we enjoyed ourselves. The restaurant concept from food to the space is good, it just wasn’t executed well. I’m not sure if it was that they were understaffed or not that well coordinated amongst the staff they had. The waiter was underwhelming and I think overwhelmed by managing the entire room. The manager was fantastic and provided lots of the backstory about the origins and production of the food… real farm to table. But somehow it just didn’t come together. I would go back because of the food with my fingers crossed the service was improved.
