Hotel guests, Haligonians, and those passing through town are all welcome at The Arms. Lively conversation and inventive cocktails are always flowing, and our location in the historic Lord Nelson Hotel & Suites lends an air of refinement and nostalgia. The pristine Public Gardens are just across the street, adding even more European flair to our special section of Spring Garden Road.

    Food was great. We had the fried burrata, duck leg and the chowder. Everything was perfect. Better yet, the service was exceptional. Full kudos to Daniella for the attentive and kind service throughout the evening!

    Fantastic dining experience! The server was great - friendly and attentive, without being intrusive. The fish from our fish and chips was a little oily. The spaghetti ragout was really good. Interesting take on a classic. Desert was really good. No hesitation recommending The Arms!

    Ham and corn chowder was delicious. Lobster roll was great. Tomato bisque was divine. Our server was sweet and attentive and gave us a great recommendation to visit Crystal Crescent Beach which we did and it was gorgeous. Thanks for the tip!! Highly recommend The Arms.

    Haven't been here since the renovation. So, excited to see the restaurant. Great service, my lobster roll and friend's mussels were amazing;however, portion sizes were quite small for the price. The coleslaw for my meal was maybe one tablespoon, my family's meals were small. The oysters for the rockefeller were the smallest we ever seen. The tortella(sp?) was like an appy not a meal. 15 dollars for a beer? Anyhow, we tried it and probably won't be back.

    Excellent experience at The Arms. Very courteous and our server was very attentive to our needs. The timing of drinks, appetizers and mains was well done. Thank you for a wonderful experience. We were on a time crunch that our server easily accomodated.
