Unfortunately...

by gdemetru

Fantastic food! Great service! Great ambiance! All gone!!! The place has a big chain link fence around it. Apparently the owners lease expired and decided not to renew. Too bad. A bit high brow for the average West Coaster but never judgemental about appearances (which can be deceiving). Now my wife will have to get her Tiramisu from somewhere else (and I am out a good Veal Oscar). So long my friends. Best wishes to future endeavors.

• Pros: All of it.
• Cons: It's gone for good.

Don't Throw Good Money After Bad Food

by vanillashake

Great atmosphere, but lousy food. Way over priced. $35 for Beef Strganoff. I've had better from the frozen food isle. Also tried Tournados of Beef with Madeira and Hollandaise. Their definition of Madeira sauce looks and tastes like the gravy I make for my dog. Someone needs to look up the recipe on FoodTV. They used to cook tableside, but no more. I don't know if it's a fire code ordinance (probably), but they need those waiters that used to prepare Steak Diane tableside go back into the kitchen and show the staff how it's done. Banana's Foster nothing special. Save your money and make it at home.

We used to love this place, but doubt we will ever go back. I wish them the best of luck if and when they move. If the food was good, people would follow, but the atmosphere is all they have going for them right now. New building, new location and mediocre food will certainly spell failure.

Just ask those guys from the Brown Derby and several other restaurants that moved and were never heard from again.

The food melts in your mouth!

INternational onion soup, the best I have ever had. The veal, mouth watering. Bananas foster, to die for. Everything just keeps getting better and better. The Arches is like fine wine(and they have the best selection), it just gets better with time.

• Pros: food, service,atmosphere
• Cons: are you kidding, not 1
