Hotel guests, Haligonians, and those passing through town are all welcome at The Arms. Lively conversation and inventive cocktails are always flowing, and our location in the historic Lord Nelson Hotel & Suites lends an air of refinement and nostalgia. The pristine Public Gardens are just across the street, adding even more European flair to our special section of Spring Garden Road.

    My girlfriend and I went to The Arms for a Valentine's Day dinner and were greeted by welcoming and conversational staff, a large menu, and great food. We were super happy with the experience overall!

    We have been to The Arms many times but for this visit we enjoyed their “Dine Around” menu for 2025 & it was SO amazing! 10/10! The Tuna Tataki & the Pan Roasted Pork Tenderloin were both cooked to perfection & so full of flavour! Portions were amazing! Also Sean was our server and he was fantastic! The Arms is always a great choice for a wonderful experience! The meal was so good we only got photos of the start & finish of the evening!

    Was perfect for our book club lunch and discussion . We typically struggle to find locations that are not too noisy. Service was great.

    I had the fish and chips. The batter was too heavy and soggy or doughy on the inside. I extracted the fish and left the batter. I don't care for the coated French fries but that's a personal choice. My wife had the risotto dish and it was just OK. The squash in it was delicious. The serivice was excellent.

    Food was great. We had the fried burrata, duck leg and the chowder. Everything was perfect. Better yet, the service was exceptional. Full kudos to Daniella for the attentive and kind service throughout the evening!
