While browsing LivingSocial.com, I stumbled upon an interesting deal, $25 for $50 off at Arriba, the restaurant at the Roger's Centre. Not only does Arriba offer delicious food but it provides guests with a fantastic view of the baseball stadium where you can watch the Jays in action.
The atmosphere was average but l did appreciate the orchids found on each table. Customers are encouraged to watch the entire Jays' game even when all the food has been cleared. You can also watch the game on the flat screen television sets for the commentary and replays (since we all know games at the stadium only show replays when a Jays' player hits the ball). It would be nice if the volume was a bit louder but I do understand that not all the customers are there to watch a game.
Starters - Crab Cakes, Fried Calamari
Entrée - Black Tiger Shrimp & Roasted Tomato Linguine
Dessert - Crème Brule Cheesecake, Warm Chocolate Brownie
The fried calamari was different from the other restaurants I have been to. They were lightly battered as if they gently dabbed the calamari in the batter providing a delicate sensation. The mixed greens and sauces complimented the starters wonderfully. The crab cakes were great but I feel like they could have done more. The presentation was quite disappointing as it looked like someone just dumped a few greens on top. The entrée was rich and savoury - I absolutely loved the tomatoes! I enjoyed the crème brule cheesecake but my friend preferred the brownie. I expected the vanilla ice cream scoop on the brownie to be larger and while viewing pictures from other Yelp users, I was surprised our brownie was half the size of their's. Both desserts were garnished with juicy mixed berries.
Overall, I would come here again. The price is great for the level of skill and presentation in their dishes.
