ARC Restaurant Food & Libations

Came here on a Saturday night to celebrate a bachelor party.It was perfect for the occasion because the restaurant gave off a very edgy and moody feel. It was a little dim, but made the experience seem classier. We ordered the tomahawk which was cooked to perfection and melted in your mouth. It was a little expensive ($145), but perfect for sharing with a big group. We also ordered some sides which were tasty. The cocktails were also very good and quite strong, just the way I like it.The entire night was a good experience, only thing I would recommend is to make reservations. It gets very busy!

Service--- Top tier customer service! It was a busy Saturday night and my friends and I wanted to get a last minute table. Unfortunately the yelp page and website does not offer a quick link to book so I called the place but didn't get ahold of anyone. I decided to text them (it's optional!) instead of leaving a voicemail. Less than 10min passed before I received a call back and a friendly assurance that my party will be seated with no issues. Was told we would wait 15min for a table when we arrived, and sure enough the wait wasn't too long.Parking--It was crowded, had to park on the other side of the plaza due to competition with the other restaurants but it was easy and a very short walk.Ambiance--- low lit lights, intimate seating, sexy drinks, nice music playlist haha the bonfire/patio area was really nice! They served us drinks by the fireside while we socialized and waited for our table. Food--- Delicious we shared the food because of the portion sizes, and I'm impressed with that because the pricing was upscale so I expected an upscale meal we were not disappointed.Quick suggestion?--- maybe offer/ask for a dipping sauce or chimichurri for the steak? The potatoes and the meat were very drying to the palate despite all the flavor. I found myself drinking lots of water after every other slice. But loved the crusted edges!

Omg! This place does not disappoint. I'm def coming back again!.My EXPERIENCE food great, drinks great. Enjoyed it. Great date night. Love the ambience

My husband's favorite burger in Orange County - and can't forget to mention the duck fat fries. We also love the salads and cocktails (there is also a speak easy to enjoy). The service is great and the interior aesthetic is pleasant with dim lighting and fires providing extra ambiance and light.

As usual, the Arc doesn't disappoint. All the food is fresh hot and fabulous. We've never had a bad meal. Can't wait to come back. The service was incredible by Alexis. Ambience was very nice.

A little spendy, but the food was good. The portions were big so 3 of us ladies split so that we could taste a little of each plate. Cocktails were okay. After we ate we went into their speakeasy. It was small & quaint. Really enjoyed the Old Fashion.

I think this is a fun place to try some interesting, very delicious food, but it is hard to give this place four stars because if someone asked me if i would come here again, I would be on the fence, because I am not convinced this place is worth what you spend. Everything here is more like tapas-style and extremely small portions. I had expected that. What I didn't expect is the pricing: the two dollar sign is definitely not right for the pricing. This is more of a four dollar sign place: be prepared spend at least $100 a person because the portions are extremely tiny, even for tapas. For example, the $32 sea bass we ordered was "sharable" but it was so tiny it was only worth four bites: I don't know if it was even 2oz of fish: 2 may be pushing it, but I've attached a photo for reference. That being said though, the fish was delicious: the fish was light, flavorful and reminded me of a tomato vineyard with fresh, herbal flavors and the succotash paired so well with it. We also had cornbread which was sweet and had a nice crust, duck fat potato's, and the ribeye, which was cooked so well with the fat perfectly rendered: it was a really nice steak and they cut it for us too so it was easier to share, which we appreciated.That being said, in all: i wish the pricing was a little better. At this price point, it is a "special occasion" spot, and I am just unsure if it is worth it given some other restaurants with a similar price point.

One of my favorite places in Orange County! This place reminds me of a hidden "speak easy" where one can go, relax and enjoy the food and drink. The menu of available drinks is very extensive! And the food menu is amazing! I have never had anything that was less than amazing! But, my favorite has to be the wood-fired bacon "steak"! This place knows how to treat you - regardless of how busy they are! The servers are extremely attentive and want to ensure you have the "best of the best" experience. Can't wait for my next visit!

Vibey restaurant with unique food that never disappoints. Service is always friendly and attentive. Tip: try everything!!!

Came and celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary last night.Had great service from Skyler. Skyler checked in on us and had some great suggestions.We had the fried chicken and duck taco to start and then the tomahawk steak and subed the asparagus for Brussels sprouts. Ended the night with a carrot cake.everything was delicious - had the left overs today and it really hit the spot. Highly recommend.
