The food is good but what you'll really want to come here for are their cocktails. The seats at the bar are the best seats in the house. Kudos to the bartenders for really adding to Arc experience.
Michael HernandezAugust 13, 2014The bacon sandwich was incredible. You must LOVE bacon in order to enjoy it. It's very thick, like a thick ham steak. Also, the onion soup is savory. Lots of cheese melted into it. #arcrestaurant
- Dëva HolikOctober 20, 2014Everything is wood fired. Calamari and potatoes are especially good. While red snapper with head and tail is well seasoned and charred. The burger is their flagship and it can feed two.
Marleine PacilioDecember 31, 2014The cow.pig.duck. burger will change EVERYTHING. Hyperbole, yes, but true. And those cast iron potatoes... Good God. Delicious. Fabulous Steak sandwich also. Such flavor! Wood fired oven is genius.
Ebee DNovember 29, 2014It's probably better than most places you've been in OC/SD. Wedge was best in class. Will be back for the burger & tomahawk. Good Negroni & Cab. Calamari was super tender. Bread=yum- Best Bacon ever. The steak sandwich is amazing. The Burger is sooooooo good. Duck tacos amazing. Going for the BLT next trip.
@joe4presMay 17, 2014Everything on the menu is so delicious. Seriously. Every thing. But... Everyone there makes me feel like an a-hole for being there. A true quandary.
Jennifer DooleyMarch 31, 2013Bartenders who know what they're doing. Classics are proper, and house cocktails are done well. If you're into whiskey (and you should be), try the Cigarettes & Coffee.
Been here four separate times for lunch and dinner and have never been disappointed. Food and service is exceptional. Sit at the bar. It is more fun!
Eatosaurus RexDecember 21, 2014Decor out of a Restoration Hardware catalog and a steak sandwich that will make you forget how unhappy you are with life. Well done, ARC.
Jeff LenneyMay 24, 2013This place was AMAZING. The food is a bit pricey, BUT the quality of the food, the service, even the beer selection are worth the trip. Will be going back
Michael FourreAugust 30, 2016The mushrooms are awesome. Plenty of unique types that you probably haven't ever tried before. Mushroom enthusiasts recommended- JoyceDecember 18, 2013Very good. Interesting beet salad, mahi taco. Nice ambiance. I will go back another time for lunch or even dinner!
- Jeff LenneyMay 24, 2013BTW - Try the pig for your main dish - the meatballs are a GREAT appetizer you can share with another person
Ask for the brussel sprouts as a side dish. Best you might ever taste due to very hot wood oven
- For something different try ARC for brunch featuring duck eggs and their own bacon
- DAN COXMarch 18, 2014The most delicious lunch I've enjoyed in a decade. And that's a lottaa lunches!
Lauren-Michelle KraftAugust 6, 2013The food is alright. nothing special. The menu lay out is pretentious and reflects the owners' ego. The place might not leave such a sour taste in your mouth if the owners weren't complete pricks!
Jamel StewartJuly 11, 2018The food and atmosphere is good. My family and I had really bad service. Might give it a second chance but probably will not.
