    Great service, from first checking in with the hostess to being served by wait staff. Perfect night for the courtyard.

    The service was great. Our party was 2 less last minute and they accommodated the change. The waitress was very attentive, and we were served drinks relatively quickly. The food options are great, and it was nice to see a few new things on the menu. Everyone was happy with their food. We have been there several times and will return. I also appreciate the history being one of or the oldest bars in Cincinnati.

    We had a family dinner of eight to celebrate and 88th birthday. Arnold's was great. The service team was personal, attentive and engaging. The food was plentiful and delicious. We especially appreciated the Cincinnati menu touches like Goetta and Ale-8. Overall a great experience. Thanks Arnold's!!!

    We booked a table for six people to hear the music at Arnold's. The music and vibe on their outside patio was fantastic. Our sever greeted us promptly and took good care of us throughout the evening. Arnold's menu has something for everyone our food was delicious. My husband appreciated their NA beers. Highly recommend dining at Arnold's!

    The brussel sprouts are delicious. Arnold’s has so much character. Love sitting in the courtyard on a beautiful night like tonight. Our server did a great job getting our party of 8 out in time for a show @ The Taft.
