    We absolutely love the ambience at Arnold Palmers. Three dining style options (all the same menu) promise there’s something for everyone. The elegant bar is classy but casual. The dining room is elegant and more formal. The Patio is the place to be! Soft, live instrumental music every night, an amazing fire pit that provides warmth and ambiance. Beautiful views too! The food never disappoints. The menu has variety and everything is homemade. Service is always great! Professional, personal and extremely accommodating! Our favorite date night restaurant.

    The sunset supper is so perfect for a special event or a lovely meal out. The food is exceptional and well presented. Not a huge serving but just the right size for an early meal. Wednesday 1/2price bottles of wine is the icing on the cake !!! Service is so well done. We didn’t feel rushed and completely enjoyed our meal and had an amazing ice cream wedge cake dessert to share. Always a highlight while we ate in the desert. Well done keeping this special meal going. Thank you-!!!🙏
