    We had a lovely evening. We sat in the bar at a table. We shared the baked French onion soup, which was delicious the Barada green tomato salad very tasty and split the pork chop with mashed potatoes and apple chutney. The pork chop was perfectly cooked mashed potatoes, creamy apple chutney delicious. Two full for dessert. Lovely waiter, and support staff. We will definitely be returning.

    Our server Valarie was one of the best servers we have ever had. She was efficient, attentive without being intrusive. The great food and atmosphere made for a wonderful birthday celebration that we will never forget.

    We always enjoy going to Arnold Palmer's and have never been disappointed. Last night I had the Shrimp Scampi Ravioli and my husband had the filet--both were excellent. We always request the same server, Cory, and he was excellent as always. We sat outside and enjoyed the guitarist.
