Sean made our dining experience so elegant. Thank you Sean! Everything we ate was delicious. Try the passion fruit martini, the beet salad, the salmon, and cheesecake in a shell. All were innovative and succulent. Such a great meal!

Delicious appetizers and easy to share. Vegetables never tasted as good - love the trumpet mushrooms and baba and carrots! Hamachi appetizer was very exciting also. Service is quick and super efficient, although sometimes a bit too efficient as the server seems to want to run away as quick as possible

Shannon, our server, was both accommodating and a good server. Most of us ordered the happy hour food appetizers. Mussels, calamari, chicken potstickers yum! The food was brought out promptly and was warm and tasty. The servings were adequately portioned. I had one drink and a couple of the appetizers and was totally sated. The setting is idyllic. We sat outside which was shaded and comfortable. GREAT SAN DIEGO SPOT.

Booked the Arlo based on Open Table reviews while visiting San Diego for a conference. We had a group of 5 served by the amazing, Anthony! I mention him because his service truly made our experience more enjoyable and having exemplary service that stands out is truly such a joy! Food was great, cocktails were even better. Would return for another meal without hesitation!
