Arriba Restaurant

I went there very late, the restaurant was almost closed and it was pretty empty.
The view to the Rogers Centre is stunning!
The food was good but the service was just ok. It took a while for them to bring it. But it’s ok, they were closing the restaurant so I was lucky to have eaten there. Otherwise I would have had to go out of the hotel and try to find somewhere else to eat.

We arrived to find out that there were no window seats left in the dining room. The hostess said we should have requested one when I made the reservation through Open Table. Who knew? It was my first time there. And why else would I make a dinner reservation for 6:30 pm on a game night if I didn’t want to sit by the window and watch the game?
Anyway, the hostess offered us the option to sit in the bar area and to still let us order from the dining room menu. The bar area was full (!) but just as a table was emptying she hustled over to grab it for us before someone else in the bar went for the window view.
There were four of us at dinner so the tiny table was quite crowded but we made it work.
My boyfriend and I started with salads — mine was a lovely green salad with a champagne vinaigrette that was flavourful and not too heavy on the vinegar. We both had the game night prime rib special. The roast beef was done medium-​well with a delicious glaze/​gravy. The mashed potatoes and vegetables were also good; it’s been a long time since I had beets and they were a nice surprise. The portion was generous.
We shared the crème brulee cheesecake for dessert. Wow. Two desserts in one — how can you go wrong?
The servers were gracious and friendly.
Total bill for two of us (no alcohol) was about $ 100 before tip.

Great food and a very sympathic waitress made the experience a great moment.
The view on the Roger center is really a plus. I want to come back when a game is running.
Surprisingly the prices were really decent.
I really recommend.

My boyfriend I stayed at the Renaissance Hotel during our stay in Toronto. We stayed in a room that overlooked the ball field (very cool!). We ate at Arriba a few times during our stay. The food here was great and the service was excellent. We were waited on by Whitney (at the bar) and Alex (in the dining room). We did not get the server’s name at breakfast, but he was also very good. You must try the banana bread french toast if you’re eating here for breakfast. The mushroom ravioli is an excellent choice for dinner. The only thing I recommend is lowering some of the drink prices (I though the juices prices were a little on the high end).

While visiting Toronto I wanted to pick a restaurant that my boyfriend would enjoy for his birthday trip. I chose Arriba due to the view/​proximity of the Rogers Centre. Unfortunately thanks to a one direction concert happening the following night, the windows were closed. The food was great. We had the muscles as an appetizer and they were the best I’ve had. I had a salad with quinoa, the name is slipping my mind, and it was delicious. I cannot have gluten and when I told the server this I was met with care about my food and dietary restrictions rather than the usual attitude or ignorance about it. They made sure the muscles stayed away from contamination and pan fried the chicken for my salad rather than putting it on the grill. I didn’t even have to ask, the just knew the restrictions. My boyfriend had the 7oz steak. They cooked it to a perfect medium rare and it came with fries that he loved. Our waiter was so kind and attentive enough without hovering. They also had a live singer in the beginning of our meal and I was obsessed with how good she was.
Overall it was great food, good ambience. Just wish we could’ve seen into the stadium.

This is a review for their 2015 Summerlicious menu. I came with four other adults plus a toddler. The staff was very accommodating of the toddler regarding food and seating. However, the service was somewhat on the slower side when we first got there and only a couple of us had our drinks filled whereas the others’ glasses were empty for awhile. Attentiveness could have been better.
The ambiance was okay. It’s a restaurant inside a hotel. We went for an early lunch, so the breakfast buffet crowd and stations were still there. The food was good. I ordered crab cakes (a bit soggy), arctic char (flavourful), and strawberry sorbet (refreshing and sweet). The food was well-​seasoned and the portion sizes were reasonable.
The cool thing about this restaurant is that it overlooks the Rogers Centre, but unfortunately, there were no games that day, so we didn’t see anything. I probably wouldn’t return just because it’s not that conveniently located for me, unless I’m at a sports game or staying at the hotel, and it’s not worth paying full price for the food served.

Morning breakfast buffet is good and staff is very courteous. The view of the stadium is amazing as the restaurant is part of the stadium, which was pretty awesome. Great place to go if you like baseball

It took a while to seat me, like 15 minutes befause of a long-​winded reservation on the phone. I requested a table next to the window but did not get it.
I was here for three SUMMERLICIOUS menu and ordered the soup, the pork, and homemade fellowship gellato. The service is very slow, but the Chef’s Daily Soup Creation for SUMMERLICIOUS 2015 was excellent.4^th
The pork was juicy but somewhat chewy for a medium. Potatoes a bit dry but asparagus grilled to perfection.
The local raspberry sorbet was very good. The overall great food but slow service.

Wow! What a great experience. The view of the field was amazing! The service was great. Janice was our server and she was both friendly and efficient. The prime rib was incredible. And the executive chef came to the table to greet us and see how everything was. Definitely would return and recommend!

Great food and great staff. Janice was really friendly and accommodated our group very well. The view on the field was great and made for a great night.

Highly recommended! Food was amazing! Executive Chef Dave came out and visited our table which was an added bonus! Check it out when you have time!

Had an awesome view of the field! I loved the Prime rib and the service was top notch! Big thanks to Janice our server. She was kind, funny, friendly and professional. The Exec Chef Dave, (I think) came and stopped by to check on us and Craig the bartender was a sassy and skilled mixologist! Will definitely return.

We decided to try Arriba’s Winterlicious menu a few weeks ago. Making reservations was easy using the OpenTable app.
We were a party of 4 and our 3 course dinners included the quiche, chowder, braised ribs, salmon, sorbet, carrot cake and bread pudding. Some of us ordered the same dishes. The food was absolutely delicious! The serving size was perfect and we all cleaned our plates without leaving any food behind or feeling hungry.
Our waitress was great. She was pleasant and attentive, yet not hovering. The perfect balance of providing great service and still giving us privacy.
There are a lot of tables that have a great view that overlooks the Rogers Center. We’ll definitely be coming back in the summer to have lunch or dinner while watching a Blue Jays game!

A great restaurant for any sports fan. If you’re going during a sports event, book early to get a window seat. The view is amazing, it’s like having free tickets to the game.
The food is great, although somewhat overpriced. The service is friendly and the washrooms clean.
Very highly recommended during a ball game, slightly recommended otherwise.

***While this hotel restaurant provides a rare view (a view of the interior of Rogers Centre; you can watch Blue Jays games from your table), their breakfast buffet is below average***
Arriba Restaurant is part of the Renaissance Hotel, which is attached to Rogers Centre. Like Rogers Centre, Arriba Restaurant has the kind of modern design that probably felt much more modern years ago. The best part of Arriba’s design is how the glass windows provide diners a perfect view of the stadium; it is like being in a luxury box in the outfield.
For breakfast, Arriba Restaurant offers a breakfast buffet; a la carte breakfast options are also available. Just seeing the names of the items featured in Arriba’s breakfast buffet, it seems like a good deal. They have several glass dispensers of cereal – both sugary cereals and healthy or at least non-​sugary cereals. For cold items, they have sliced fruit, whole fruit, yogurt, and deli meats. They also have breakfast pastries, breads, muffins, bagels, English muffins, and a bread of the day like banana bread or zucchini bread.
In terms of their hot options, Arriba offers several items including bacon, sausage links, home fries, baked scrambled eggs, French toast, and oatmeal. Arriba also has a chef station where you can customize an omelette or get eggs made to order.
While the variety is there at Arriba, the food was just not that good. The bacon was not too bad though it could have been crispier and less salty. The sausage links had horribly dry interiors. The French toast was slightly dry and bland. Some of the cereal options (like the Frosted Flakes) were a tad stale.
In terms of the positives, I liked their home fries. Their banana bread was also good. Their omelette station featured good ingredients like ham, tomatoes, mixed peppers, cheese, onions, mushrooms, and spinach. The chef did a good job preparing the omelette. Unfortunately, the egg was a poor quality as the omelette color was wrong; it almost looked liked egg whites.
Service was pleasant but a tad slow.
Prices are too high for the quality of the breakfast offered.
Arriba’s breakfast buffet is below average for Marriott brand standards; the only Marriott brand breakfast buffet I would put below this one would be the Marriott I went to located in a rural area just outside of Downtown Madison, Wisconsin. For Marriott Rewards Gold and Platinum members, the breakfast buffet is included with the room rate so it is not a bad option for elite members. However, if breakfast is not included with your room rate at this hotel, I would strongly encourage venturing out of the hotel for a Downtown Toronto breakfast.
This is a difficult area to find parking. The Renaissance offers valet parking for hotel guests; I am not sure if valet parking is also extended to non-​hotel guests. Their valet parking is expensive.

I came here for Summerlicious Lunch during office hours. The food was ok. Nothing stood out as spectacular or memorable. You can watch a game if one is playing while you’re here. It was surprisingly empty. I guess it gets busy when there’s activity at the Dome.

Good food! I devoured my brunch (French toast) quickly and I would have wanted more.
The crème brûlée cheesecake was ok, not fantastic but it did not stop my friend and I from eating it.
Service is good and last but not least, the view over the stadium is neat

Came to watch the Blue Jays while visiting Toronto as my boyfriend is a big sports fan. Made a reservation for a window seat, which was confirmed, but when we arrived there was a long line to be seated and the hostess informed me that the window seats were all reserved. I was upset as that is not what was communicated in my previous confirmation from the restaurant, however the restaurant only holds tables for 30 minutes past the reservation time, and one party did not show, so we were moved to a window seat. Service was slow, but there was absolutely no rush and we stayed and watched the whole game. Food was edible (nothing great), but for the price and quality, I much preferred it to sitting in the stands and eating a hot dog.
We ordered an app, two entrees and had 4 rounds of drinks and it was $ 140 with tip. Definitely a great deal for dinner, drinks and a baseball game!

I have been to this restaurant a few times during Blue Jays game days and I had a great experience each time.
The restaurant is located inside the Renaissance Hotel at the Rogers Centre. The décor inside the restaurant is fairly modern, the service efficient, and the atmosphere is pretty casual. I went with a few people so we made reservations and requested to sit next to the window so we could watch the game. Note: Seats near the window fill up quickly during game days so it would be wise to call ahead of time and reserve a table next to the window.
The type of food offered is typical pub fare food. They offer a decent amount of items on their breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus including several items that are good to share such as the chicken wings, nachos, quesadillas, and french fries. We ordered chicken wings and nachos which were all a good size to feed 4 people. The chicken wings were really good as well as the french fries (sweet potato fries option available) and the nachos were VERY cheesy and covered in toppings throughout the entire plate (chicken, cheddar & mozzarella, tomato, scallions, hot pepers!) — I was pleased to find that they had not been skimpy with the toppings.
For my main I ordered the crispy breaded fish sandwich (cabbage slaw & spicy mayo included in sandwich) and a side order of fries. The fish sandwich was delicious and the fries were fresh. The portion size was fairly large and cut in half so it’s also good for sharing if you really aren’t hungry. For dessert I had the crème brule cheesecake which was heavenly consisting of a smooth and rich cheesecake topped with a crackly sugary coating. Very good and a recommendation for those of you who are fans of both crème brûlée and cheesecake!
The service was wonderful. The staff friendly and I liked how they allowed us to serve each course slowly throughout the evening so we could stay and watch the game.
Overall, great experience and a very cool alternative way to watch the game while in the Rogers Centre. The food is pricey but you would probably spend just as much money on food inside the stadium in addition to paying for tickets. The atmosphere was pretty cool — not so loud but everyone in the restaurant was giving each other high fives and doing the wave every time something good happened. I would definitely return to this restaurant again during a game day!

When I found Arriba tucked inside the Renaissance Hotel, I was initially annoyed that my quick Unilocal search had led me to such a random location. But I decided to eat here anyway because it was freezing cold outside and I was hungry.
The brunch was amazing! There was a limited number of options on the menu, but the ones there sounded tasty and were varied. All brunch options came with fruit salad and either hash browns or salad. Our waitress was so friendly and accommodating, and she let me substitute salmon in the Eggs Benedict on the menu for spinach and tomato. Everything was delicious! Ingredients tasted fresh. Good size portions that left you feeling full.
Seems like a particularly great place to go before/​during/​after games. But even during the off season I’d highly recommend going for brunch!
