The Arborvine is such a beautiful place--the grounds, the building, the table settings. We had super service--even when we took extra long to order--and the food was great, from oysters to steak to fresh fish. The wine list has nice choices and they have great cocktails.

My husband and I are from SC. Our friends are from NJ. We were visiting Blue Hill the day before we were due to take a chartered boat trip last September. Our hostess at The Blue Hill Inn suggested dinner at Arborvine. Our evening was outstanding in every way. The food, the service, the atmosphere all,exceeded our expectations.

From the moment Beth greets you as if you are the person she's waited all night to see, to the wise counsel of Jen or Chrissy or any of the knowledgeable, professional, gracious waitstaff on food or wine (although one can't go wrong with either menu or wine list), to Tim and Andrew's deft touch and creative imagination with the...

My husband and I ate here with my aunt and uncle the first day that the restaurant was back open from vacation. This restaurant has a setting of an old farmhouse and is cozy and quaint at the same time as being elegant. This is a place to go for a special occasion or, whenever you would like to indulge...

We have been going to this lovely Restaurant for many years and it is getting better and better. This is the place we always look forward to going to. Whatever we feel like eating is well prepared, pleasing to look at and tastes... More

We ate with another couple. The restaurant is in an antique home, with seating in various rooms throughout. It has a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere with full table settings featuring table cloths and cloth napkins. The wine list is extensive. We were there at the height of the summer season and the restaurant was crowded, which probably accounted for the... More

We've been going here for years and it's always been very good. I would like to see the menu change a bit more often but maybe it's just because we've gone so many times! Baked Brie is yummy as are most appetizers! Entrees can be somewhat heavy in the sauces but that may be personal taste. Wonderful atmosphere and service... More

The four of us all raved about the delicious dinner we had. One of our party had the steak and said it was the best he had ever had. I had a well prepared fish dinner. The server was well infomred and and the environment is very nice.
