The last two times we tried to go here even after checking Google and Facebook hours (and also recent Facebook posts to check for covid closings) they were not open despite the fact that there were cars in the parking lot and people drinking at the bar ( and no sign at the door stating there was a private party, etc.) We have been 100% supportive of small businesses all year long and this is difficult to write. Let me say that we have been there on a few occasions before and had wonderful drinks, food, and service. We attempted twice to bring new people to their location to share our good experience. Unfortunately, we are confused as to why a business can't communicate to loyal patrons such simple things as updated business hours. The businesses in our town have done this with no difficulty. This is beyond disappointing. If Arcadia doesn't stay open, I won't be surprised. Go down the street to Leeds. They have no problems keeping up with their current situation. Customer service is key. I am all for supporting small businesses, but they have to at least appreciate the people who have supported them this past year.

One Dazzling and Fabulous, Restaurant Experience. The Chef Specializes In Extraordinary Presentations. The Cousine Remarkable, and The View of the Michigan City, Harbor is Breathtaking. The Bar is Top Shelf. Ideal location for Your Next Event, or Company Get Together." ARCADIA CAFE + BAR, Is TOP NOTCH!!! "

**we tipped 20%+ regardless of experienceSat at the bar, different types of flies buzzing around. We ordered the mai thai and old fashioned from the drink menu. The bartender and manager had NO IDEA how to make the drinks. The old fashioned was incredibly watery, my mai thai was not a mai thai.Drove 40 minutes out to them because of the menu currently online but it was different when we arrived and had none of the items we were excited for. The staff was nice but you could tell they were slightly stressed with a couple tables outside and inside, a live band playing. No one said goodbye to us and we were a foot from them.We won't be back.Their liqour selection is AMAZING but they don't know what to do with it

The food and drink menu is fantastic. I've been coming to Michigan City for decades and I have to say I had the best meal ever at Arcadia. Live music on Saturday night. try to make it there. You wont be disappointed.

The majority of the employees were not wearing their masks properly. Most were not covering their noses and some had them dangling from their neck. They also had a huge fruit fly problem. Bugs were flying everywhere. I won't be going back.

We are so glad that we came to Arcadia We had a particularly bad experience at Mateys and we hoped they could accommodate our party of 7. And they did FANTASTICALLY! Peter was amazing and kind. Jason, our server even made us a fresh fruit dessert because they just had it lying around to make. There were hiccups with our alcohol orders as they weren't made correctly not once but twice - and Jason remade us something and it was spectacular! The food was ON POINT! 100/10 would recommend again!

No longer Arcadia. A pop up restaurant with excellent Lebanese food.

Great interior, great views and they now have the best Mediterranean food anywhere. I will be back often.

We love Arcadia! Whenever we want a special place to go for drinks or dinner with guests-this is our #1 place. Decor and service has always been friendly and professional.

Had an amazing meal at Arcadia. Missed the deviled eggs from Bartlett's and was so happy to find them again at Arcadia. I ordered the Chimichurri Sirlion Bavette Steak. It was exceptional. The meat was so tender and seasoned so perfectly. I will order it again and again. We have been waiting for a great menu at Arcadia and it is here. The Shrimp Scampi appetizer is also very good. Come check it out. Train station on the outside , but cool NYC bar on the inside.
