“ Had an absolutely great time! Family, friends and great food what more could you ask for! And when I say great food I tasted everyone’s around me, the chicken was exceptional, the glazed polk chop was outstanding and the chocolate moose was to die for! And to top it off our service was great - our drinks were kept full, dishes cleared and she randomly stopped by and asked if we needed anything. I took a couple photos - check them out! ”
“ My family stopped in to Arcadia last Sunday after church... and I'm temporarily on a carnivore diet so it's always a challenge at restaurants. I know they have usually have steak, but on Sunday's they have different menu options. I asked my wait person, Alexis, if she could talk with the chef and make a suggestion as to something they could whip up for my particular need. She didn't hesitate to go ask, and came back with a custom breakfast scramble idea that would work. The food all came out quick, and it was excellent! I really appreciate that they did just a little extra for me even though my food request was not the norm. I'll most certainly be back. Thanks again to Arcadia and Alexis! ”
“ Checked out Arcadia on opening night! I went in with lower expectations for service. Especially on today’s service industry climate. I had the exact opposite! The staff was great! Super impressive for a grand opening. Our waitress Jada was awesome. She was very personal and social. I got a few of the speciality cocktails and they were great as well! The lychee martini was amazing! I do think there are a few small little things that will improve over time, but all in all I’m so excited for this to come to Polk City and can’t wait to go back and try more dishes and drinks! ”
“ Billed as fine dining. Concrete floor, no tablecloths, primitive cutlery, lots of TV's, no salt and pepper. Took our own wine, shocked at the $35 corkage fee. Most in town charge $10. More shocked that the reserve wine list was not really reserve and overpriced by 100% Staff was attentive. Caesar salad was good. Pasta was good, but the meat got lost and was minimal in my bowl. Beef bourgeon was fabulous. Well seasoned and nice portion size. Might return someday, but with different expectations. Listen to your wine distributor. You will sell more when it is priced correctly. ”
“ Randomly chose this restaurant after another one was closed, and I'm so glad we discovered it! It is so beautifully designed inside. Apparently, they've only been open for a month but the whole visit was seamless--from start to finish. The staff was very attentive, with superb execution on food! The dishes were all bursting with flavor! Everything was perfectly seasoned and all of the elements complemented each other so wonderfully. They were delicious dishes with complicated but not confusing flavor profiles. We were with two somewhat picky eaters and everyone was thrilled with what they ordered. EVERYTHING WAS PHENOMENAL. Also, it was only ~$90 between the 4 of us. Glad we got to visit before other people figure out they're there and have to inflate their prices. I'm confused about other reviews complaining about prices vs. portions. We got more than enough food (of superior quality) for a cheap price. I would have been happy to pay double for what we got and no one left hungry. Highly recommend! ”
“ Hot new spot in Polk City adds a great dining spot to the area! Loved the beautiful design of the interior and dinned on the patio to take advantage of the lovely weather. Food was delicious and appreciated the gluten free options! ”
“ Fantastic service and the atmosphere was great. The Honey Crisp Mule was excellent. The seared salmon was a bit overdone, otherwise this would have been five stars. Definitely will return for another fun dining experience. Give this place a try! ”
“ Glad Polk City has another restaurant! We tried it the second day they were open, so I expected some hiccups, especially with the service. Here's my take... Neat vibe. Chose to sit on the patio, because it was freezing inside. The menu was different than what was posted online (Had planned on ordering the omelet, but it wasn't available). Ordered eggs benedict, instead. Wife and daughter ordered breakfast tacos and brioche french toast. Food was cold on delivery, but well prepared. Breakfast potatoes came half-way through my meal (They weren't ready when they served my dish). Had to ask for syrup for the french toast (only served with berry compote). Definitely geared towards couples rather than families. UPDATE: Been back several times and the service has gotten much better. Their smashburger is phenomenal (voted top five in the state), as is their tenderloin. ”
