As always it was a very enjoyable luncheon, food was delicious and service was outstanding. If you're in a hurry I wouldn't recommend stopping here. This is a beautiful place to sit back and enjoy your lunch surrounded by neat tea pots with matching cups and lots of neat "stuff". I'd recommend their chicken salad either as a sandwich on their "home made" buns or on a bed of greens. You can't go wrong with any of their deserts as they all very yummy.

Four of us visited this restaurant and we all enjoyed our dinners. I split a rack of spar ribs. We both loved them! The crispy spinach was so good that we ordered another when we finished the first!
The service was excellent. I would definitely recommend this restaurant!

I go here about once a month. That tells you that the food is very good. Everything I’ve tried is good. Overall the services very lacking. The waitresses are rarely polite. They generally don’t seem to care if you’re there or not.

When doing this kind of premium-priced meal, the whole experience is typically what separates the good places from the great places.
We chose Arrowhead Grille for the first time because of the menu and the location, about 30 minutes closer to us than Capital Grille. We thought the dining room lacked high-end appeal. Furnishings are basic restaurant quality. Our booth was not very comfortable; seats were bouncy. No white tablecloths. Colors are pleasant and lighting is excellent. It was nice being able to see into and hear the kitchen. No doubt that the restaurant employs some amazing chefs and cooks.
The food was delicious, hot, prepared exactly to our requests. A few misses: Caesar salad was basic and not premium, shrimp cocktail comes with three pieces, although the pieces are colossal. Creamed corn was bland. Our steaks were ordered medium and were spot on -- again, hats off to the people with the skills in the kitchen. The Oscar style included a crab cake, instead of actual crab pieces. Still very tasty, just a little different.
At premium-priced places the servers, or captains go out of their way to make us feel like we own the place for an hour or two. Patiently discussing the menu, making suggestions, asking us questions. This was not our experience at Arrowhead Grille. Our server was friendly, but she was fast, impatient, and extremely quick to drop the food at the table. We always enjoy efficient service. Hillstone is an example of efficient. Our AG experience almost felt rushed. Once our check was paid we noticed that our server left the restaurant before we did. This would not be allowed at J&G or BLT or Capital.
We will return to Arrowhead Grille, just with slightly different expectations.

I have lunch here about once a week. My favorite lunch item is their Tortilla Soup, which is very hearty, delicious and filling. I love the spicy salsa, too!
The only disappointment that I've ever experienced was for our casual 'rehearsal' dinner with all of our out-of-town guests. The service for that was very slow, it took a while to get us seated, even though we had reservations (of course) and the food was wonderful, as usual, except for the cheese dip, which tasted like flour water!
Otherwise, this restaurant is reliable and yummy.
I've had other items, like the chicken chimmy - which was also most excellent!
