    First time dining. Just pulling up the driveway and seeing the beautiful Christmas tree was a precursor to an absolutely lovely evening. We sat at a table by the bar enjoying solo, piano player and vocals. Bryant doubled as waiter and bartender. He his team could not have been more tremendous. The food was exceptional, especially the cauliflower appetizer & Faroe Islands Salmon. Highly, highly recommend.

    We absolutely love the ambience at Arnold Palmers. Three dining style options (all the same menu) promise there’s something for everyone. The elegant bar is classy but casual. The dining room is elegant and more formal. The Patio is the place to be! Soft, live instrumental music every night, an amazing fire pit that provides warmth and ambiance. Beautiful views too! The food never disappoints. The menu has variety and everything is homemade. Service is always great! Professional, personal and extremely accommodating! Our favorite date night restaurant.

    Four of us had a fantastic meal here consisting of a number of dishes including cold, hot and sushi. We had the always-terrific Miso Black Cod, the Rib-eye tacos and the Lamb chops, just to name a few. Probably the weakest dish was the Artichoke salad which seems to consist of micro-shaved raw artichoke that was mostly inedible due to the fibrous, chewy texture. Other than that, it was a great meal. IMO they should take that dish off the menu
