| - I met friends for dinner at Arcadia Tavern this week. The have complimentary Valet because their lot is probably too small. That location is a little awkward. The brunette hostess at the door was the best thing, she was friendly and greeted us and knew which group I was looking for--she gets 5 stars!
I was a little surprised at the pricing in the menu, but assumed that for that price, my meal should rock. I got the 48th St. Salad with the walnuts, cranberries, applies, blue cheese, etc. I get some variation of that salad lots of places, so I am a pretty good judge of it. It had something that was cinnamon in it, which kind of overwhelmed the taste and didn't quite belong. Someone next to me got something else and said theirs had cinnamon too. They didn't like it either. I love cinnamon, but not on certain things. I did try the onion rings which were okay.
It looks like a cute place with jersey's hanging high on the ceiling--good atmosphere for a beer. Lots of neighbors were there. Work on the food a little more or lower the price, so I lower my expectations. A nice choice of draft beers too. No one at my table raved about their food. If you want to be a player in the Arcadia Foodie district, you gotta make your menu rock.
