My dining experience at Arpa was probably the worst dining experience of my life - the food and service that I would likely have received had I opted for McDonalds would have been 100 times better. We came in on a Thursday night at 7:15pm, took a seat at the bar and waited 40 minutes without any acknowledgement. Finally after much inquiry of the hostess, we were placed at a table in a back room - none of the tables around us had been cleared - piles of uneaten food and dirty plates cluttered the table. The service (or lack there of) that we received was horrific. We witnessed the manager verbally abusing his wait staff. I will be the first to admit that I prefer small flavorful portions, but the antipasto that we ordered was laughable - it wouldn't have filled up a bird. The appearance was subpar for the price and the hearts of palm and roasted peppers looked like they were the left overs from the bottom of a $0.99 can of over preserved vegetables. I would NEVER EVER recommend this restaurant to anyone.
