   We used to be constant customers at the Arch before it changed ownership. This is our first time going to the Arch since the old owners retired and we were dissapointed with the overall quality of the restaurant. The general atmosphere of the Arch was not as cozy as it used to be. My wife ordered escargot and it was not as good as past. I ordered artichoke appetizer that was not what I expected. It was fried and did not taste good. Thus the first portion was disappointing. The main course my wife had the branzino fish which she loved. I had a filet mignon cooked medium. It was very tough and not what filet should be. It should be tender. For me it was not good. Also no side came with it and thus I had to purchase a side of mashed potatoes. Now comes the last course or so we thought the dessert. All we were asked is if we would like coffee or cappuccino or tea. There was no dessert menu. The only dessert that they offered when we began ordering was soufflé. We were expecting some other dessert to complete our dinner but no dessert menu was offered. For 2 people without tip it cost close to $200 for a meal that was not worth anywhere close to that amount. We were looking forward to a nice Anniversary dinner (which I mentioned in Open Table reservation but no one even said congrats) but instead had a 2 out of 5 star dinner. We will not be going back because of the quality of the food. In conclusion the old Arch always made great food and made you feel special. This is non existent with the new version.

   Food was outstanding, service was attentive, warm and friendly. Beef tartare was the best we’ve ever had. Can’t wait to return .

   Food was delicious, absolutely amazing. The restaurant was beautifully decorated for the holidays. However, service was a problem, lack of attention. May have been understaffed and hopefully that was the case.

   We have honestly been disappointed in so many restaurants lately, but The Arch was absolutely wonderful! From the minute we walked in the door to the end of our incredibly delicious meal, it was perfect. Thank you to the chef, staff etc. for a meal/ experience to remember with gratitude!

   Totally mediocre, undistinguished and hardly worth the cost.

   An enjoyable experience. Brunch was outstanding, there were mostly lunch dishes that were equal to dinner!, This made the price of Brunch acceptable. Asparagus Soup was amazing!!! The best we have had!, Main course was also outstanding! Service was great!!!

   What a wonderful experience. It is so unusual to have a French restaurant in this part of the lower Hudson Valley. Beautiful dining room, white tablecloths, quiet ambience. Great choice for a civilized adult meal or date night. The food was outstanding. Not cheap, but definitely worth it. We had the Beef Wellington and duck. Both were excellent. Service was friendly, not overbearing, but always knew when to refill a glass and clear plates. Pacing of meal service also was ideal. Also try the cheese soufflé as an appetizer. Will be back.
