Looks like it's closed permanently. Signage is gone and place is empty. Too bad. It never looked very busy, unfortunately.

Fantastic local spot, food and cocktails are amazing. Nice outdoor seating area, good place to meet friends and chat with a nice view.

Their clam chowder is to die for. I love so many of their offerings; you just have to try them. My fav is Ahi salad, the dressing is so good. The chef owner is always there, service and quality is great and the ambiance is relaxed, yet classy.

Arte Café puts on wines dinner every so often. I have been to several wine events and a Vodka event before deciding to leave my review. The food has progressively declined but the servers have remained attentive and friendly. The venue is small inside, with a spacious outdoor seating area. There are only two restrooms, one for men and one for women. The menu line up sounded amazing. I enjoyed the pear and gorgonzola salad, but I could have done without the pumpkin seeds that were left in their very hard to chew shell. The appetizer of hot smoked salmon on rye crostini with crème fraiche and capers on the side was delightful. The sweet potato gnocchi with pork and mushroom ragu was just ok. I loved the gnocchi but found the sauce runny and the pork very chewy. I originally decided to give this place one more try when the menu listed traditional osso bucco as the main dish. Sadly, I received a pile of something. Once I dissected it, I had one bite of osso bucco and a pile of grizzle. The saffron infused risotto that accompanied it was not properly cooked. I would have gladly paid double the $75 dinner price tag for traditional osso bucco. The pumpkin crème brulee with ginger spice whipped cream was just ok. I did not detect any ginger spice in the whipped cream. This past wine dinner paired with Hess Persson Estates wine was a deep disappointment. The wine was just ok. I did enjoy a few sips of the Lion Tamer Napa Red Blend 2018 with the crème brulee but I did not think it was appropriately paired. The wine line up was: Panthera Russian River Valley Chardonnay 2017 Panthera Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2019Mount Veeder Estate Grown Napa Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 Iron Corral Estate Grown Napa Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 Lion Tamer Napa Red Blend 2018 I found the wines too harsh and way too young to enjoy. The food would need to be a lot heavier to cover up the high alcohol content. Don't get me wrong, I love a heavy cab, these just missed the mark for my taste. I do hope this place can up their game. It's a great venue when they offer wine dinners. I would suggest they market them as wine pairing tastings rather than wine dinners. The plus side is it's a nice setting for friends to get together and have great conversation.

I attended an event for a wedding and the food and service were sub par. Starting with the appetizers/salads, they were spread way too thin, with about 20-30 minutes between servings. As for the main course, the steak was far undercooked for the liking, as it was still bleeding when it was cut open. As for the restroom situation, there was only one toilet for each, and for a bigger party of around 30-40 people, it was not satisfactory. Would I go back? Personally, no but give it a try and form your own opinion.

The place had a full on bar but the inside and food was ok. We took my daughter for her college grad dinner and it was just ok. The drinks were strong which was good :)

I came to Arte cafe with my girlfriend .. I got the pacific sea bass and she got the filet .. Maybe because I was incorrectly expecting a Chilean sea bass taste I didn't think too much of the sea bass (3/5) .. but she generously let me try a decent portion of her steak and it was excellent (5/5) .. I got a filet at Fleming's the following week and thought the arte cafe version was better
