The Arch - BREWSTER

This place is so cute and amazing! The food is to die for, I had the beef tartare, the lamb three ways, and it was outstanding! The new owners are terrific! They definitely made some great changes.

Food very good but come out cold and overpriced Service very very very slow and restaurant not busy 2 3/4 hours for 2 courses

This lovely old place ain’t what it used to be. New ownership changed menu and price increases both to the detriment of the fare, ambiance and service. The elegant touches of napkin rings, fine china and the like have disappeared. Service was somewhat amateurish and uneven. Finally, taste and presentation of the “signature” dishes no longer rise to the level of fine dining.

We have been dining at the Arch for decades. I am leaving an earlier post from two years ago to highlight the contrast. We visited the restaurant twice since the change of ownership and were most disappointed. Most of the staff has changed and the food preparation has declined. In our most recent visit on 6./22 we ordered the menu classic Beef Wellington. The pastry shell for Wellington was delivered unbaked for four guests creating a soft mushy texture and ruining the entree. The staff was friendly and courteous but inexperienced. Our server forget to mention the souffle must be ordered with the entire meal order due to the time for preparation. Nor did the server or anyone else return to the table to ask about the entrees. I am saddened that our old favorite standby has gone. Our old post is below We have been going to the Arch for years. A real gem. Old school traditional dining with ambience. Food and service are outstanding. You will not find a better place for that special event or just a quiet dining experience.

Excellent service, Excellent food, excellent atmosphere...had a birthday celebration and can only sum it up as Excellent!!!!! Tony was the best servicer we've experienced in a restaurant.
