Rabbit Rillettes - the bread is bomb, so freaking good. The pickled fennel absolutely floored me, loved it so much. The rabbit Rillettes itself lacked oomf which was rather disappointing as rabbit is usually such a bold flavor, it was definitely overshadowed.Boquerones - very high quality, delicate flavor. Not like anchovies from a Caesar salad. Thought they were excellent but if you're not an anchovy person you might want to look elsewhere.Cavatelli - the meat is so good. cavatelli is very doughy. Flavors are great, texture not my favorite.Mushroom and spaetzle is a flavor bomb and i loved every part of this dish.Really enjoyed myself here. Would definitely come again to try the rest of the menu

I rarely (if ever) write reviews for businesses but felt compelled after our experience at Broken Arrow last night. My wife and I came in for our ten year anniversary and were treated so well and had such an amazing experience.The staff had reserved us the only window table in the restaurant and our waitress Simone greeted us with two glasses of celebratory champagne! Simone was attentive, engaging and provided top tier service.The five course tasting menu was to die for. Starting with diver's scallops and ending with poached pears, every plate was amazing.Thank you to Simone, the chef and the rest of the staff at Broken Arrow for such a memorable night and we will certainly be back.

I actually had a great time here during restaurant week. Food, drinks, and service were outstanding. Imagine my surprise when discovering our server decided to add a few more dollars to the $12 (20%)tip a month later while reconciling my account. $3.60 extra, such a strange and deliberate amount.

Really great meal and service. Thank you for holding the fundraiser to benefit Ukraine.

Holy moly this place is delicious!The tuna crudo was the best part. Make sure to order the large portion of the tuna because you’ll definitely want more. Our bartender Sylvi was a gem and the service was impeccable. This was one of the best meals I’ve had all year ? I can’t wait to eat at Broken Arrow again… maybe even hit up the happy hour sometime soon!

Amazing please with a great owner and a wonderful vision. Opened in October 2020, the menu changes to reflect the local ingredients they receive. Meat received ethically and atmosphere is lovely, both pleasent and intimate with dark wood.

Food taste, and atmosphere really good, loved the ambience. Service was friendly but took too long to get drinks, others around us who had ordered after us received theirs before us and this was disappointing as by this time we had food in front of us but no drinks. The smallest main course portions we’ve ever eaten anywhere around the world.

Always lovely. The smashed potatoss are a must. The parsnip rosotto was lovely and the tuna was beautifully salty with a lemon tang.

very friendly atmosphere we had a great time! food and drinks were very delicious!

3 stars because of the food review and not for cocktails reviewWent there to celebrate my early birthday dinner. The cocktails are fantastic. Tried 5 different cocktails and all excellent.Now about the chef's testing menu. 6 courses for $69. 2 out of 5 courses ( exclude dessert) are way over salt.1. Tuna crudo. The tuna itself are nice and tasty but the topping is too salty. I don't know if it's because it's fried caper with is already salty to begin with or if there's extra salt added on top of that. I believe less is more and in this case, it's too much2. Creamed corn polenta with lamb and mushroom ragù. Way way over salt. I have to scrap the ragù but I can't because it's so sticky. It is bad, all I can taste is just the salt. I have to wash every spoon that I had with lotsa water. Definitely noThe rest of the course is great. Oyster, beet salad, mussels and the custard dessert is so good. But since the last meal which is supposed to be the "entree" is way to salty it kinda ruined the whole dinner experience.Pre-paid the testing menu but got charged again by accident when we asked for the check. No biggie but just pay attention when u receive the billDefinitely come back for drinks, not for food
