    We had a delightful evening. The sauce in the New York steak was very good. Our friends had the salmon and they said it was great. We sat outdoors and I requested a table away from the live music so conversation was effortless.

    We have dined here in the past and have loved it. This time, however we were treated extremely poorly. Had a reservation for the inside bar, with a stipulation if outside patio did come available we would take that. Due to the 35 mph winds, of course there were many cancellations on the patio, so what did Arnold Palmer's do? They placed us on the patio of which we couldn't even sit down with the wind gusts then claimed the bar was full. So basically they gave up our reservation. This was a horrible experience, decision was made with no common sense, and just overall poor management!

    Booked this last minute for my Wife and son before they left. A little weary about sitting inside as the patio was booked solid. Noise level and ambiance were above expectations and we could carry a conversation no problem. Our server was spectacular and food was excellent. There is a reason we keep coming back! Thx
