About this restaurant

Charming
Good for special occasions
Fancy

Hotel guests, Haligonians, and those passing through town are all welcome at The Arms. Lively conversation and inventive cocktails are always flowing, and our location in the historic Lord Nelson Hotel & Suites lends an air of refinement and nostalgia. The pristine Public Gardens are just across the street, adding even more European flair to our special section of Spring Garden Road.

Their regular lunch me au wasn’t available and that’s why I chose this place for our after grad luncheon. No option other than brunch. Service very slow.

Venue was nice old school classic hotel vibes . Food was mediocre and service was lacking. Instead of writing down our order the waiter had to come back to confirm our order and still forgot the appetizer. Nothing was offered to make up for the mistake.

Great food. Lovely service. Made me a special mocktail at my request which was excellent. Quiet enough to have a conversation but not so quiet that our laughter felt out of place. Overall great place to have dinner and drinks with friends!

Daniela was a fantastic server! Excellent food- the fish and chips & Banofee pie are a must if you are feeling home sick for the UK. Generous portions (the banoffee pie was huge!) and excellent value. We love the Arms!

My girlfriend and I went to The Arms for a Valentine's Day dinner and were greeted by welcoming and conversational staff, a large menu, and great food. We were super happy with the experience overall!

We have been to The Arms many times but for this visit we enjoyed their “Dine Around” menu for 2025 & it was SO amazing! 10/10! The Tuna Tataki & the Pan Roasted Pork Tenderloin were both cooked to perfection & so full of flavour! Portions were amazing! Also Sean was our server and he was fantastic! The Arms is always a great choice for a wonderful experience! The meal was so good we only got photos of the start & finish of the evening!
