If you’re looking for a great bottomless brunch in the heart of downtown this is a fantastic place. I love a good ol’ west coast style brunch. The restaurant is bright and lit up. The service is amazing and very professional. The quality of the items are high standards. Some may not agree with the price but you can never go wrong with treating yourself out. It’s always a great and positive experience here. Parking is tight around here but they do have a paid parkade. Reservations are a must. You’re always seated promptly. Very high standards here. Even their restroom facilities are spotless and checked consistently. I felt very comfortable and cozy here.

I didn’t expect the hotel restaurant to impress quite as much as it did. We weren’t hungry enough for a full three-course meal, so I can’t comment on the mains, but the cocktails were fantastic, the mussels and fries hit the spot, and the desserts were outstanding. Our waitress, Bruna, was excellent throughout. Her dessert recommendations were especially brilliant surprises. The cherry on top was the live music; the performer absolutely nailed the cover songs and added to the ambience perfectly.

We had a wonderful experience having lunch at ARC Restaurant recently with my dear friend who was visiting from out of the country. I wanted a restaurant that was downtown, near the sky train station with a great view and excellent food and we absolutely found the right place. We had great service including coat check, which I always appreciate at a fine dining restaurant. Got a table by the window. All of food was exquisite and I loved how the server was able to explain each of the items to us in detail. Special mention to the Crème Caramel (see my pic) that was next level. I’m also a big fan of shopping local and eating locals so I appreciate their province to plate program and rooftop bees and garden. The prices were in line with other fine dinning restaurants so do keep that in mind. My friend was very impressed which made me happy and we would be back in a heartbeat.

Enjoyed a festive bottomless buffet with the family. Delicious dishes and a fun way to try different dishes rather than a regular buffet.

The service was absolutely phenomenal by Jennifer. The food was great the atmosphere was very chill. In my opinion this is one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. The grilled cheese sandwich was one of the best ones I’ve ever had. Very kids friendly!

Went for the bottomless brunch during dine out and it did not disappoint! Our server was so friendly and efficient. The food was all so tasty, you get a good variety and can order as much as you want. Worth it to try at least once!

Came to try the "Mindful January" mocktail options, and stayed for the happy hour snacks. I was so impressed by the service mostly, but the food and drinks were also top tier. Sober culture is becoming more and more prevalent. Lots of people are not drinking for a variety of reasons. I love it when a restaurant thinks about those people and creates thoughtful offerings for them, not just a soda with a splash of something in it. They have zero-proof cocktails on the menu year-round. I loved the many vegetarian options on the happy hour menu. Of note, the Mezze plate had great variety and taste. I loved the cauliflower as well, it was a little sweet and a little spicy. My fave, however, were the oyster mushrooms: they looked like calamari, but they're vegan! They were the perfect crispness and never got soggy. The dip they came with also 10/10. Yes, it's a bit pricier, but the location, the service and the quality of food are all top notch.

Came here on Saturday for the brunch buffet. Our waitress, Millan, was absolutely wonderful! She made menu suggestions, frequently checked in, told us funny stories and was just overall fantastic. The restaurant is very clean with a nice aesthetic. The volume level is low and tables are spaced out so it feels like a private dining experience even with others around you. Great place to dine if you enjoy lower stimulation environments. The food was amazing! All items have a carb base which gets you fuller faster, but the variety is great and the food is highly elevated for a buffet. My favorite items include buttermilk biscuits, which are warm and go great with the honey butter, the pulled short rib benedict that has the lightest crumbly corn bread I've ever had and a delicious black garlic hollandaise, and the chili maple brussel sprouts which have the perfect sweetness balanced by the dry feta. My husband loved the chicken and waffle and the smoked salmon rosti. The Berry Smoothie was refreshing, and the ooey gooey skillet a great dessert. I wanted to try the lobster Mac N cheese but my husband has a shellfish allergy and they don't offer half portions. All in all, I would come back again if a friend or family member wanted to try out the buffet. Would reccomend this place to others. Thanks to Millan for making our experience unforgettable!
