   Second time here for a holiday brunch. Highly recommend! We saw same server on duty and asked for her area, she’s that good! Her name is Kelly.

   Food good but was a bit disappointed with the decor and ambiance. Not sure I would go again for a big thing like Easter.

   Speaking soley to the holiday buffet brunch, the majority of food items are odd and unpallatable. The meat offerings were cold, the quiche looked and tasted like what I imagine a sponge might. Although everything looked pretty and appealing, it was hard to digest. Depressing that I spent $300 for this, I will never return. If youre a foodie or like good food, this isnt it. The venue is nice and fun but the price is misaligned with the quality and flavor of this food. I want my money back!

   Family Easter Brunch at ARLO was absolute perfection! The service was top notch, food was consistently replenished, attended to, and the ambience amongst fellow holiday diners in a sun-drenched backdrop of family atmosphere has us making this restaurant a holiday tradition!

   This is my third year doing Easter brunch at ARLO and was pretty disappointed. A couple of things: When we got the bill we noticed many errors totaling $64. My husband was charged for two drinks when he had one, charged me for a glass of champagne (which should have been free), and charged my daughter for the buffet (should have been free as well). The waitress took off my husband and daughters error, but I was still charged for the champagne. Not a huge issue but still irritating. 20% gratuity is included if you inspect the bill, like I clearly was, but they have a line for a tip with suggested tips of 18, 20, and 22% additional tip which I find incredibly misleading. The Easter egg hunt was fine, but significantly scaled back from previous years. No live music (the woman last year was fabulous), just a DJ playing Easter songs. The food was fine but definitely scaled back from previous years as well. No fresh fruit, bagels etc. All in all it was fine, but as someone who was loyal to their Easter brunch I will be going somewhere else next year.

   I think the food was super salty in all the items we ordered had to drink more water than usual , the service was ok but we had to ask other servers to get us water , and then we were already paying when he offered dessert kinda too late 🙂‍↕️

   Had a wonderful experience bringing our 93 year old Dad in for early dinner. Service was great and everyone very friendly. Poached pear salad and scallops delicious choices and beautiful presentations as well. Our Father enjoyed short ribs and lemon cake for dessert! Ambiance is lovely and cheerful with inside and outside options. Parking is easy in nearby garage however a little pricey. Highly recommend ARLO!

    Everyone seemed nice.They seemed to cluster people together.Which there was more separation.The bread comes oiled down, which creates a doughy consistency.The vegan cauliflower could have been hotter.
