    Food was so salty we couldn’t finish it. Table was in the middle of the bar and space didn’t have a great ambiance. Maybe it we were near window it would have been better, but the space was nothing special and the food was disappointing. I’m so sad because I’m such a fan of Kristin’s cooking, but this all fell flat.

    I have eaten here many times and have always been very impressed with the food and service. This visit was not up to the same level as my past visits. The crispy rice is one of my favorite dishes, but was lackluster on the latest visit. And the chicken schnitzel was ok, but nothing special. Server was not as helpful or attentive as servers from my past visits.

    Reservation through Open Table requiring a credit card and noting a $25 per person no-show/late cancellation fee was off-putting. Arrived 20 minutes early, at our desired time which showed no availability online, to find many open spots. Room seemed dark and quiet for our 6 pm arrival. Very nice bar service with capable and friendly bartender and bar bill transferred to table when we were seated at our reserved time. Friendly and knowledgeable waiter who helped us with menu items. Prompt service with frequent check-ins. Excellent food choices from all areas of the menu. Crudo was very good. Overall - very good service and food. A bit pricey but quality is worth it.

    The look and feel is awesome! Some funky dishes that you don’t get often which was a good twist as well.

    I can't say I could find a reason to return to Arlo Grey. Kristen Kish must not have much to do with this establishment anymore, and frankly, it's a shame her name is attached to it. Our server was laughably terrible. We were seated next to a loud party, and when we mentioned it, he ignored us. 2 courses in, he asked if we wanted to switch tables....ummm...that ship has sailed, buddy. He asked if there were any dietary restrictions or allergies. I informed him that I was allergic to raspberries and blackberries. When he took our drink order minutes later, I asked if the bartender had a particular mocktail they made well. He enthusiastically told me that they could make me a RASPBERRY spritz 🤔🤔🤔 When I told him that was obviously not going to work, he had the audacity to ask why??!! The burrata was the best. Solid dish. The cauliflower was fried cauliflower. Like, ballpark food. The "mustard" sauce on the side had no hint of mustard flavor whatsoever. The crispy rice dish (apparently the signature dish 🤨) had little flavor. I was craving some sort of Asian sauce like soy or hot mustard.....literally anything. The half brick chicken was fine, but truly nothing I couldn't cook at home and for the price tag and gravitas of the restaurant should have been MUCH better. Also, none of our dishes were served with serving utensils! Another note: the server asked us how we wanted things coursed out. We told him. That was not at all followed. Our dessert was called a matcha cheesecake that had no relation to cheesecake and barely tasted of matcha. It was a white cake with maybe some cheeseish topping. The strawberry sorbet was nice but I mean, it's strawberry sorbet. I won't remember this meal, but I'll remember what a rip-off it was and the lack of customer service. Sadly, I'd also think twice before going to another Kristen Kish establishment,and if she plans to have a long career like a Michael Mina (always consistent and great), this should concern her.
