Liberal with the coffee and generous with the portions, the staff of this restaurant will help you start your day with full bellies and warm smiles. The only difficult thing about breakfast at Arno's is choosing from four styles of Eggs Benedict, three different Breakfast Sandwiches, six different Omelettes and Frittatas, and more than a half-dozen types of Pancakes, not to mention Steak and Eggs, Fruit Bowl and Granola, and a dozen a la carte items. This family-friendly restaurant even has special selections for children on its breakfast menu. At 11 a.m., the choice expands to include dozens of lunch items. Their selection ranges from traditional New England staples such as creamy Nantucket Quahog Chowder, Fish and Chips, and a huge Seafood Platter to delicious specialties such as Chunky Lobster Bisque, Sauteed Deviled Crabcakes, Lobster and Cheddar Quesadilla, Wild Mushroom Ravioli, and Thai Peanut Lo-Mein Noodles.
Soft jazz adds background to a dining room quieted down after a lively day.
The front tables are a favorite spot to gaze through the tall front windows and watch as Main Street closes down for the night and the busy tenor of the day relaxes. The food at Arno's is colorful, creatively prepared and presented, and very fresh. Meats and poultry are succulent, fish is moist and not overcooked, and sauces, garnishes, and accompaniments are well-matched and served in perfect proportion. It is obvious that the kitchen takes great pride in what it serves-great care goes into every dish. There's nothing like a good bowl of soup to warm body and soul on a cool spring evening.
