Frank & Diannah's Arbor Inn — Restaurant in St. Lawrence

We ate there for the first time last evening. The owner Frank was very gracious and made it a point to talk to all of the guests, he made people feel welcome, the atmosphere was comfortable, I'd say this is a casual place offering upscale dining options. We ate on the enclosed patio which was nice and toasty warm with propane heaters. They are following social distancing protocols. We actually sat at the bar which is now a socially distanced high top dining table. The menu had a nice variety of choices and most entrees were priced in the mid $20 range and included some PA Dutch foods unique to this area as well as some more diverse choices not found on other menus locally. Everything is homemade on the premises by the owner's wife Diannah including the rolls. I enjoyed the Malaysian shrimp and scallops with rice noodles and my husband had the jerk Rib eye steak. Both entrees were delicious, the portions were plentiful and the presentation was superb. We normally don't do dessert but they had choices that tempted us into trying them so my husband enjoyed the homemade chocolate pudding and I enjoyed the gingerbread ice cream sandwich which is a definite must try. I've never had anything like it and we'll be going back to have it again for sure. Give them a try, you won't be...

My wife and I made a reservation to dine on the outdoor patio for our Anniversary, but had to change the plan to instead order take out. The staff was so friendly and accommodating throughout. They have a flawless curbside pickup system. I had the Jager Schnitzel and my wife the Malaysian Shrimp and Scallops. Each component was packaged with care in such a way that we could heat everything up without the integrity of the dish being compromised. The food was outstanding - so flavorful! We really enjoyed our three course meal. The third course was a surprise (on the house), a delicious piece of triple chocolate cake with the words “Happy Anniversary” written on the package.

This is a wonderful place to eat during the pandemic. The patio is large and heated. The food is consistently great. And the owners and staff have absolutely adapted to the current state of affairs. They really care about providing you a SAFE and enjoyable dining experience whether in-person or at your own home. ...

The atmosphere is inviting, charming and relaxed.

Service was excellent. Conscientious, attentive and unobtrusive. The owner was out on the floor several times checking on tables to make sure everything was okay.

The salad was fresh, the bread was fresh and warm. Vegetables cooked with steak.

It's difficult to get a good steak, mine was fantastic. I ordered it medium and it came out to order. The rib eye was delicious, moist and flavorful. It melted in my mouth like butter.

Desert was a s'mores tart. Graham cracker crust, a layer of brownie, a layer of chocolate ganache, topped with a layer of tiny toasted marshmallows. It came out warm, was not too heavy or rich and was comforting to eat.

The owner checked with us if we had a good dining experience, we assured him we did. He gave a little fist pump to celebrate, glad that we did.

I had a wonderful dining experience. If you're looking for a place to celebrate or just have a simple elegant night out. I would highly recommend Frank &...
