The Pool at ARRIVE

The Pool at ARRIVE Restaurant Review:

About the restaurant: Pose poolside for a morning parfait at this über-cool restaurant located at ARRIVE hotel on the edge of the Uptown Design District. It’s definitely convenient for hotel guests, but also worth the trek for those staying elsewhere in the area. The mountainous views are as appealing as the menu at this mid-century-inspired retreat.

Food & Drinks: Enjoy all-day dining with a rather straightforward breakfast menu (eggs, smoked salmon) with a few exceptions, such as the tres leches pancakes topped with tequila-macerated strawberries and canela whipped cream, or the acai bowl with a mound of fresh seasonal berries. Lunch and dinner feature casual fare, including tacos, salads and snacks. The sesame seed-crusted tuna burger is a filling option with its topping of tomato, onion and wasabi mayo. Aztec hot chocolate and churros is a decadent ending to any meal --- that is, if you can take the heat both in the cup and outdoors when triple digit weather strikes. However, there are plenty of cocktail concoctions to cool things down a notch or two.
