    We had a delightful waiter (Steven). Very attentive and friendly. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and suggested a wonderful vegetarian option which was amazing. (Did notice that our food took longer to arrive to our table. Tables next to us arrived after we were seated and after we ordered, received their food first). Still five stars ⭐️

    We had lunch @ 1 pm on a Monday - so it was on the quieter side. We ordered the Fried Chicken Biscuit and the Chicken & Feta sandwich. The food and the drinks were so delicious we forgot to take photos to share. We really appreciated the very friendly greeting and super helpful service with wonderful recommendations. The cheerful staff made us feel welcome - would definitely dine here again! Nice mix of indoor and outdoor seating.

    Oh my lord!! We had the night of our lives! Jeff is the most amazing captain! He led his service team to provide us the most amazing experience! The food was better than sex! The drinks were crafted with love! After dinner Jeff gave us a first class tour of the 40,000 sq ft restaurant and museum! We then went to the bar where Ruby and Danny continued to treat us like royalty! Ruby even called a personal friend to drive us home safely! We are going back this evening! Last night was AMAZING! Here is to Arnaud’s! Jeff! Ruby! Danny! And the entire staff! What a team and what an experience! SALUTE!
