Food: Mediocre meals leave mourners

From the Smoked Salmon Egg Benedict, to the Oysters and the Greek Salad, each dish somehow manages to let you down, due to burnt, flavorless offerings that lack both freshness and creativity. It is shocking to discover that something as simple as portion sizes could be so underwhelming at Arden. The chorus of disappointment grows louder as the mediocre offerings surprisingly command high prices.

  • Okay Taste

    Some dishes excite, while others disappoint; menu could be more creative.

  • Creativity

    Quality took a backseat to aesthetics, dishes more photogenic than palatable.

Vibe: Atmospheric allure wildly wasted

Arden's ambiance creates an unforgettable, visually striking dining experience. The intimate, cozy atmosphere is perfect for romantic date nights. The innovative cocktail menu and Instagram-worthy decor would make the perfect conversation pieces, if only it were possible to have a conversation over the loud EDM music and background buzz.

  • Great for Dates

    Intimate atmosphere celebrated, consistently perfect for romantic date nights.

  • Bad To Entertain

    Music did not match setting, odd EDM for French/Italian menu.

Perks: Service sinks ship

Arden's service is dreadful, with long wait times despite reservations, poorly managed staff, and a general sense of neglect. The one charming aspect - outdoor seating - falls flat, plagued by the unfortunate presence of mosquitoes, which only adds to the pain of the burnt, flavorless meal. Even parking is a challenge, often necessitating blocks-long walks.

  • Bad Service

    Long waits, neglect, rude service, and bad management left customers dissatisfied.
