The Arch is a elegant yet casual upscale restaurant. Everything about the atmosphere is meant to relax guests and make them feel at home. The Arch does this through the jazz that is played softly in the background, as well as the warm table lamps that illuminate each table. The seats closest to the windows overlook The Arch's garden, where the kitchen staff hand picks the herbs needed for various dishes. This is an ideal place for a romantic evening out with someone special.The menu at The Arch is entirely a la carte. There is primarily classic French dishes on the menu, with a few new American classics added in as well. Popular items include the Herb Cured Gravlax, Baked Escargot with herb garlic butter, Honey Roasted Duckling, and Daube of Beef Bourguignonne.

Primavera has known many lives as both restaurant and residence. Originally built by a member of the Purdy family, one of the original settlers in the area, it was also known as the 1864 House, so named for its date of construction. Although the building has been renovated several times, the bones of the house are still recognizable, especially as one looks up to the charming garret, whose flat roof, sometimes called a widow’s walk, often served as an observation platform. Mona Trattoria, a family-operated Italian restaurant that operated for some 30 years, followed after the home was converted to a restaurant. In 2002, actor Stanley Tucci bought it and renamed it Finch Tavern, renovating it with dark wood shutters and soft yellow banquettes that feel fresh today. In 2006, Jimmy Gjevukaj and his family took over the premises and relaunched the restaurant as Primavera, continuing the tradition of fine Italian dining in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

    The Arch is a beautiful, gracious restaurant that has been recently remodeled and has a new owner and chef. We have gone to the Arch for many years and it has always been a traditional, elegant but comfortable French restaurant. I am happy to report that the "new" Arch is a worthy follow up to its predecessor. The menu has a variety of dishes including favorites like escargot and chocolate soufflé. The fish of the day was a Black Sea Bass and it was delicious. There are excellent wines at a variety of price points which is appreciated. Service was friendly. The seasoned servers of yore are no longer with the restaurant but the new crew is trying and will certainly grow with time. If you are looking for a special, cozy yet elegant restaurant serving a mix of traditional and updated French classics, look no further. We are so happy The Arch is back!

    The booths proved to be the wrong choice for seating. The patron behind kept moving the booth like a child kicking your seat on an airplane!

    We always have a great experience at Rraci's! The food offerings are interesting and delicious. On this visit we found the noise level in the expanded dining area very loud and took away from the overall positive experience that we had. (several large groups were in that area)
