Always a must while staying at La Quinta. Atmosphere, music and family/pet friendly are the real sell. Food is good, desert was even better. Service can be slow when busy but nothing to complain about.

Food was delicious. Service a little slow, especially getting initial beverages. Our request for seating was granted, which was very nice. Ambiance seemed a little more chaotic than normal but recognized there was some new staff training going on. Overall, lively evening and we will be back.

Be aware that during the holiday season there are a lot of large noisy groups that take away the special ambiance of Arnie's. Better to come in last spring and early fall or book a later time to eat like after 8:00.
