   Let me start off by saying that I’ve dined at Arlo in the past and really enjoyed it…but not this time. They had a “pop-up restaurant experience” hosted by Henrietta restaurant from Montreal. It felt like the dishes they served were a collection of stuff they had kicking around the back & needed to offload. The prices were literally double what you’d pay at Henrietta’s (I checked out their menu online). It blows my mind that; 1) Arlo would let this garbage into their restaurant, 2) That in this digital age they thought they could get away with charging double the restaurant price & 3) That Henrietta can survive in Montreal serving Chipotle-style food at fine dinining prices. Total failure.

   The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. They answered all our questions and were always nearby if ever we needed something. Food was incredible and the wines paired with them were wonderfully balanced. One of the guests was vegan (we let them know in advance) and the vegan options provided were flavourful, creative and delicious. The vegan dessert was a masterpiece and the standard dessert was nothing to scoff at. We will definitely be back.

   The citrus salad is sensational, along with the apple upside down cake.

   My sister and I had dinner and drinks. We had the bread (with some amazing butter), the yams and the cod. Everything was amazing. Service was also stand out. *Hot tip: you can get half glasses of wine, so you can try differnt types*. Also had an espresso martini and paper plane, both were excellent. It was a very special evening!

   Inventive and exciting food, one of the best wine menus in Ottawa and the ambience is so authentically Arlo. Staff is always best in class, friendly and knowledgeable. One of our favs. Consistently memorable time after time.
