Arnaud Steak & Seafood — Restaurant in New York

Went here when they first opened and everything was great, so we were excited to go back for New Year's Eve. Unfortunately the service was so bad I'm not sure I want to go back any time soon. It took almost 45 minutes for them to even take our drink order, they were out of multiple items including filet mignon, and we ordered oysters as an appetizer only to have our steaks come out first after which we said we didn't want the oysters anymore. My girlfriend also did not receive the mashed potatoes she ordered and with it taking so long to get the server's attention, we would have been finished with our meal by the time they came out, so we asked them to cancel that as well. With all of these mishaps, the waiter was very dismissive seeming like he didn't care and making an excuse that the restaurant was busy the night before in regards to being out of so many items. when my girlfriend ordered crème brûlée and they didn’t have that either, she finally asked for the manager and the waiter was visibly frustrated. The his credit, the manager did try to make it right, covering our drinks and providing a voucher for a free dessert next time, but it will probably be a while before I give it another try. I especially would not want to have that particular server again. I only give it 2 stars because the steak...

My wife and I have now gone to Arnaud's three times. Each time we've ordered something different. Each visit has been enjoyable. This last visit was probably the best.

My wife had the lamb, and I had the Chilean sea bass. Each dish was served and presented beautifully. The sea bass had a light brown seared crust, holding in the heat and the flavor. The lamb had a unique bed of sweet potato, and was ringed with seasoned pear slices. I made the sea bass disappear, and my wife had to take home half of the lamb as the portion was hearty.

Our drinks were exquisite. The artist behind the bar built a mezcal / cucumber spicy drink for my wife. I had bourbon / scotch / maple cocktail that was fantastic - not sweet yet flavorful and enjoyable. I'll come clean: I had 3 of them.

We were there for the opening of Arnaud's. It's obvious that they've ironed out all the wrinkles, listened to customers wants, and created a comfortable establishment with a steak and seafood menu that is unique to the area. You expect to see a place like this in Boston or Portsmouth.

The fact that it's here in Riverdale, within walking distance of my apartment is almost criminal. If that's the case, then I am going to be a...

We recently celebrated our niece’s bridal shower at Arnaud Steak and Seafood in Riverdale, and it was nothing short of fantastic. From the early planning stages to the final moments of the event, the experience was seamless. The food was delicious, the drinks were excellent, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly.

Our servers, Annie and Angel, were outstanding—attentive, professional, and incredibly kind. Alex, the bartender, was equally impressive. Not only did he keep the drinks flowing, but he also showed a level of care that truly stood out. He noticed that my mother, who uses a wheelchair and has upper body weakness, might struggle with a glass cup. Without being asked, he served her ginger ale all evening in a plastic cup with a lid and straw. That small, thoughtful gesture meant so much to our family. Thank you, Alex, for your kindness and attention to detail.

Arnaud’s is a perfect venue for any small, intimate gathering. The service, food, and ambiance are second to none. We had a party of 30, and every guest left happy and impressed. Thank you to the entire Arnaud’s team for making our girl’s bridal shower a truly...
