5 /5 Alp Ojalvo: My husband and I went to The Arch Restaurant for Valentines Day, and it was a lovely experience. The restaurant has an authentic, old-world charm, and the real fireplace added to the warm and intimate ambiance—perfect for a romantic evening.
For the holiday, they offered a prix fixe three-course menu. I started with the Beef Carpaccio (black truffle aioli, crispy capers, pickled caviar, chili crunch, crispy garlic). While the flavors were nice, I found the slices a bit too thick—carpaccio is usually paper-thin for that melt-in-your-mouth experience.
For my entrée, I had Coq au Vin, and it was outstanding! The chicken was braised beautifully, incredibly tender, and full of rich, well-balanced flavors. The vegetables and fingerling potatoes were perfectly cooked and complemented the dish wonderfully.
Dessert was the highlight! I had the Cherry Sponge Cake (red wine cherry reduction, lemon-scented vanilla gelato), and it was absolutely divine. If I could, I would have ordered ten more! I really hope they make this a permanent menu item.
The service was attentive, and overall, it was a very enjoyable evening. I look forward to coming back to try their regular menu. If youre looking for a cozy, elegant dining experience, The Arch is definitely worth a visit!
