   Our celebratory brunch was a success at ARLO. The staff, from the host persons to the servers, was hospitable throughout our visit. Our window table gave us a pleasant view of the resort and plenty of natural light. Each entree we selected was a feast for the eyes and palate. Our birthday girl even received a complimentary cake lollipop for dessert. Thank you for a positive experience.

   We went as a family of 3 for a special occasion dinner. The food and service were excellent! The atmosphere was lovely, open and well lit. There was something for everyone on the menu and even a small children’s menu which we appreciated. Try the mussels and sourdough. Yum! We returned for breakfast snd had another great experience. Fine dining but not stuffy.

   As we are locals it is always fun to dine at ARLO, it feels like a 2 hour vacation in such a lovely outdoor setting. Our first time for brunch on a beautiful Sunday morning. We had a wonderful server (Rachael). She truly added to our wonderful meal & enjoyable time. Food & drinks were great, one guest thoroughly enjoyed the bottomless mimosa with variety of juice options. Meals all very good.

   We loved our Today at Brunch Club brunch at Arlo. Ambiance was great and music was fun. We were seated away from the DJ so not sure about noise level closer. The hostess was accomodating with us adding an additional person at the last minute which I really appreciated. Our server was friendly and fun! The mimosa cart is awesome with different options of juices and fruit, seriously loved adding in the fruit! My only con was the $35 for bottomless mimosas. If you are serving a Cava and the retail cost is $5 a bottle you are really overpricing this option. A bottle of prosecco on your menu is $40 (retail $17) and it's a little better bottle of bubbles so they should consider lowering the mimosa cost to $30 since most customers are not drinking more than a full bottle.

   We had a great experience. The food was excellent! The atmosphere was so pleasant on the patio. We could hear the DJ music, but it wasn’t too loud. We were able to relax and did not feel rushed. It was such a nice birthday celebration.

   Waited an hour and a half for our main entrees to come out and they came out mediocre at best. Appetizers came out quickly within like 15-20 minutes, but then there was an hour and a half gap between the entrees showing up. A majority of the order was also incorrect. Truly disappointing and will never be eating here again. Would do anything to avoid if you have the ability.

   Second brunch at Arlo. Love the space, and the vibe is awesome. That said, both meals (Fried Rice, previously Short Rib Hash) I've had have been unremarkable... and I want to love this place and the food. Service always feels like there are too few employees, everyone is overworked. For example, took a full 20 minutes to get a glass of water, and our server literally said she wanted to check in because she wouldn't be able to for a while thereafter. And we didn't see her for at least half an hour. Prices beg better food and better service... and the atmosphere makes this such an awesome venue. That said, drinks are always exceptional!
