My favorite quote of one diner paraphrasing another "All I want is a salad with blue cheese and a steak.."
Sorry to have missed the "closed until April" part!

Arrows is upscale. The chefs are big on local ingredients and freshness across the board. They are also very flexible with the menu in that you can mix and match from their pre-set menus with no problems.

Regarding TA, I question the validity of those reviews all the time. And I don't pay much attention to them quite honestly. Most of the posts come across as complaints about a restaurant not being what someone expected rather than the restaurant not being good at what it tried to accomplish. There is a big difference IMO.

A steakhouse review from someone who doesn't eat in steakhouses regularly and uses The Outback as their point of reference is not really helpful.
