   It’s a beautiful restaurant but I thought the food was just ok. I wouldn’t go back.

   This place is cute. Fun and girlie with many tables of filled with ladies for Sunday Brunch celebrating birthdays, bridal parties, etc. The food is cute as well decorated with flowers and aesthetically appealing. Unfortunaley I like places with good food. This place was ok but there are so many places in the city that will have you leaving full and happier than this one. I will say the cocktails were on point so feel free to check this out. Glad I had the experience, maybe I would go back for a dinner.

   After having a great dinner earlier in the week, brunch was underwhelming. The food was ok but the salmon Benedict did not have a bed of bread or muffin so basically poached eggs and smoked salmon. In addition, the high price for a tiny cup of coffee without refills seems exorbitantly expensive.

   I really wanted to like Arden, but our experience left a lot to be desired. My friends and I made a reservation through OpenTable for 10:00 PM to celebrate a friend’s birthday. However, on the day of, we realized the restaurant actually closes at 10:30 PM, which made us question whether we’d have enough time to eat and enjoy the night. Since there was a credit card hold, we decided to go anyway. First, parking was a challenge. They do offer valet, but if you’re trying to avoid that fee, be prepared to search. We ended up finding a parking garage about 2-3 streetlights away, but it wasn’t the most convenient. Once we arrived, we were seated right away, which was great. However, within minutes, our waitress informed us that we had about 2-5 minutes to place our orders because the kitchen was closing. With not enough time to really look over the menu, we just ordered what we thought might be good. The food came out, and okay—it looked nice. I got the lamb ribs, and while they weren’t too bad, the potatoes were definitely overcooked. I actually mistook them for mushrooms because of how they looked. The vibe and aesthetic of the place were nice, but honestly, nothing too amazing about the food. My friends and I were already put off by the rushed ordering process, so we just ate quickly and tried to make the most of the night. We ended up leaving after just an hour. Overall, if we had known there wouldn’t be enough time to properly order our meal, we would have booked an earlier reservation. I’d recommend coming well before closing time to get the full experience or knowing what to order beforehand—otherwise, it might not be worth it.

   Our server, Augustine, was absolutely phenomenal! Such a sweetheart and so on top of his game. The restaurant is magical and the hidden gem of a speakeasy they have is worth visiting way more than once! The bar tender in the speakeasy was amazing too! Such a great time all around :)

   The experience was great but not so much the food.If you want pretty pictures this is were to go.But if u want good food this might not be the place you wanna be at and the prices were pretty expensive-ish for food that wasn’t great for that price but they did make the food look nice but looking good and teasing good are different just my opinion though!!!!
