    Made a lunch reservation for 2 people @12:15pm. The restaurant was basically empty (only a few tables with guests seated) when I arrived. We were seated immediately at a window table with a fabulous view. A friendly server arrived promptly & answered all our questions about the menu items. My friend and I shared Caesar salad, king salmon, goat milk cheesecake and cappuccinos, all of which were delicious, well prepared and beautifully presented. We enjoyed this tasty lunch and impeccable service… we’ll be back!

    Arden never disappoints. This little gem of a spot offers seasonal cuisine, French inspired, but completely accessible. Nicholas is AMAZING (he will provide you with some truly amazing wine pairings) and the chef's combinations are exquisitely balanced, creative, and palette pleasing. See the chef expediting at the small counter and knowing that everything will be perfect is an experience not often found at this price point. This is a place where we are made to feel valued and welcomed, and the food leaves you contented and excited for the next culinary journey. I cannot say enough good things about Arden.

    Piattino is one of the best restaurants in the Pearl district. We had the lamb shank and the risotto al nero (squid ink risotto) and both were excellent, the risotto is one of the best squid ink dishes I have had in this country. The restaurant was fairly busy when we were there for lunch, but food arrived fairly fast and the waiter (sorryI didn't get his name) did an excellent job. Finally, the restaurant is very nicely decorated and has a super cozy feel, it was especially nice today because it was drizzling outside.
