We just had an amazing dinner here! Every dish we ordered was delicious and executed so well. The grilled beef was cooked perfectly. The pumpkin dessert was fresh and such a great addition to an already wonderful meal.

Staying at the Arlo with my husband as part of a multi stop trip around eastern Canada and northeast USA. We found the food and service here excellent. As a teetotaler i would have appreciated a better selection of 0% alcohol options but this was the only negative thing about the visit. I recommend the Iberico pork chop but honestly, all the dishes are well presented and the staff super friendly.

We went to Arrels for their open brunch, and the food was fantastic and very reminiscent of the food in Catalunya. The 4 stars is just because of service not food, as explained below. All the dished were excellent but there were a few standouts: (a) The Fedeua was one of the best we have ever had outside Spain and the Paella was also excellent, (b) The skewers (lamb, shitake, shrimps) were amazing, (c) The mussels and bravas dishes were delicious. Desserts were great too. The value for money is truly excellent. That said, the service was poor. First, we ordered several items that were not served. For example, the first dishes we ordered were the Gazpacho shot, the Charcuterie platter, the croquetas, and the skewers. We only got the lamb and shrimp skewers. We ordered the Charcuterie board and croquetas again, the server said they will come soon but that never happened! Hence we did not get to try those dishes. We had to order the Shitake twice also so that we get it the second time. Second, the order in which dishes were served was also weird, and service was extemely slow even though the restaurant was relatively empty. Third, when the Fideua and Paella were served we had not utensils nor plates, and we had to ask for those. We loved the food but we hope that these service mishaps dont happen again
