Arc Food & Libations

Packed to the gills since day one, hungry hordes flock to this sleek haunt for its wonderful, wood-fired cooking. Indeed, ARC remains one of the best spots for a night out with a pack of friends or family. The space is dominated by a dark wood bar, plush booths along the perimeter, and lofty windows. Certainly, while the setting is focused on wood-fired cooking, all eyes appear to be riveted on the plate. A full menu pivots around grilled meats, including the well-priced "butcher's love," a well-priced paean to meat that's intended for sharing. Other selections include satisfying enchiladas, while a tall wedge of carrot cake is the stuff of sweet dreams. 
The bar pours a nice selection of cold beers, from pale ales to stouts.
