I went there last year for dinner + baseball game. It was great! both the experience and the food. A home run ball hit my window scared the shit out of me, too bad I couldn't catch it :D. So I went back again with another friend, both of us love the food. It was absolutely delicious and the plates were heated to preserve the temperature of the food.
The service was as good as their food, she was polite and professional. I will definitely go back again with friends! -

It's a Saturday night with the window seat looking down the Blue Jay practicing on the field. Quite a number of people in the bar but only a few dining tables. The waiter is very friendly and initially thought we are tourists with our camera. We start with Mussels that is very tasty. Portion is big. The Tiger Shrimp Linguini is perfect, except that it seems to have more oil that makes it very stuffy. The shrimps are done just right. The burger with AAA Angus beef is one of the best. It is tender, juicy and big and it comes with a salad. With the tea and coffee complete the tasty dinner.
The environment is nice, the service is good and with a bird eye view on the Dome makes the dinner different and cozy. We stay there chatting for quite a while and the waiter comes and gives us more tea to have us enjoying a good time. -

Located just inside the main entrance of the Renaissance Hotel by the Skydome, Arriba definitely gets the two thumbs up for the love and labour they put in their food.
I brought my family here on New Year's Eve for brunch. We were hoping that the blinds were open so that we could enjoy the view of the Skydome's interior, but since Disney on Ice was happening, they weren't going to let non-paying customers get a free show!
For appetizers, we started with two plates of fried risotto balls, dressed lightly with a homemade tomato sauce and sprinkled with fresh sprouts. They came piping hot and were a pleasant surprise. Most of the appetizers are generously sized, so they can easily double as a light entree.
My cousin ordered the duck confit poutine (see photo) which, other than it being a bit dry, she thought was superb. My grandmother went with the fish and chips and raved on and on about it. Since I am vegetarian, my choices were limited, but the pasta I had was al dente, not overly greasy and beautifully done with a white wine sauce.
I'd had my exceptions low to begin with, knowing that this is a hotel restaurant that is forced to be open from 6:30 am until 1 am the next morning most days. However, it's rare to see my entire family be satisfied and happy with every single dish we get (they are notoriously critical of Western restaurants).
Superb service and food that matches the price. Couldn't ask for more.
ACCESSIBILITY: It is located on the ground floor, so it is easily wheelchair accessible. -

A friend and I went to Arriba during winterlicious for dinner. I was very happy with my dinner, which started with a light salad of grilled mushrooms and beets. For main course, I had salmon, served with grilled veggies (not underdone like some 'fancy' restaurants) and potatoes. The sauce was a light lemony butter sauce. The salmon was grilled perfectly, and was very tasty. I can't complain about the dessert either, a mini apple crumble pie that was served warm with a scoop of delicious vanilla ice cream.
The restaurant is in the lobby of the Marriott attached to the SkyDome. Our table overlooked the baseball field (which was empty and seemed to be undergoing maintenance as it's February!). It would be really cool to have dinner here and get to see a bird's eye view of the baseball game.
Overall a great dinner and dining experience, but we were sad that we couldn't take the Path directly from the Marriott lobby to Union Station to avoid the Canadian winter! -

I was pleasently surprised after checking into the Rennaisance to find that they not only have an affordable breakfast option, but a great one at that! Though the selection was somewhat limited, the food was really tasty and they had a fresh omlette station where the omlettes were made fast and with no gooey grossness. Maybe its just me but it feels like every time I get an omlette its watery and not cooked all the way, but the guys here have the art of omletting down. Great bet for a weekend brunch!
Oh! and for you football/baseball fans, Arriba has floor to ceiling views onto the Rogers Center field! -

I have visited here from Baltimore for many years and have found the food to be consistently good. Whether you choose an entree or lighter fare, the quality of the food is outstanding. The service from Whitney, Annie and Craig is always exceptional and they always make the experience even better. I agree with the other review about the breakfast buffet being good, but don't overlook the menu items at breakfast either.

I've been here a few times for the breakfast buffet and one for dinner. Arriba is conveniently located in the Renaissance Hotel in the Rogers Centre.
Its the only place around here that has a breakfast buffet, and the only place in the city that has it for less than $20. At $16.95, its the best deal on the menu, and even includes a drink (coffee, tea, or juice regularly upto $4+).
Breakfast Buffet: Its your standard fare of fruits (that's a pass for me ... give me some protein), cereal, breads, pastries, waffles, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, homefries, egg & omelet station.
Breads: selection of mini croissants and sliced bread (I usually skip the bread, but there is an industrial toatser)
Pastries: mostly assorted danishes and muffins. Standard flavours and quality, blueberry, apple, cherry, cherry & cheese. Quite fresh.
Waffles: Belgian style. Unfortunately they are all pre-made and served in a warmer. This leads them to be soft instead of crunchy. Still tasty though, and there is fruit compote, whipped cream, and maple syrup for them.
Scrambled eggs: the name says it all.
Bacon: Not raw, but not crispy. Its in a warmer, but its pretty good for warmer bacon.
Homefries: Nice, semi crunchy potato seasoned potato cubes. Good flavour, not too salty. They add a fresh herb that i'm not used to and not really that into, but its not strong enough to stop my enjoyment.
Sausages: The star of the buffet. YUM YUM YUM. Typical breakfast sausage, perfectly cooked, not too salty.
Egg & Omelet station: Made to order eggs and omelets. Good eggs and omelets if the cook is there. I went one and didn't know they even had a station cuz i never say a guy there. I've never went there, but friends have and said the omelet was good.
Buffet summary: Good food, and lots of it. Less selection than some of the other buffets i have tried, but at half or one third the price, I'll take the basics any day.
Dinner:
Bread and hummus: free. Slight garlic flavour. Good if you like hummus.
Duck confit poutine: A surprising large portion for the price tag ($9 or $10). A little light on the toppings. But good flavour.
Sea bass: expected a skinless boneless fillet, received bone in with skin. chimichurri sauce tasted a bit sour.
Arriba burger: cheapest dinner option on the menu. thick and tasty. served with salad, soup or fries. would have gotten fries if we did not have the poutine. Corn chowder was ok, looked more like mushroom soup though.
Dinner summary: An OK dinner. The cheap suff was better than the expensive stuff .... but the waitress did say that the grilled stuff was the best of the menu ... our fault for not listening . -

I woke up to breakfast at Arriba two consecutive mornings, but the experiences were like night and day.
The first time, service was very attentive, if not too attentive. A waiter poured my first cup of coffee, informed me about the breakfast offerings, and came to remove empty plates. However, many of the plates taken away were not done. Bye bye delicious omelet.
The second time, service barely existed. It was a chore to get coffee or the check. The omelet was not cooked as well, but still tasty. Good breakfast sausage, dry blueberry muffin, sweet pastries.
All in all, not bad for $12 a meal, with a view of the field at Rogers Centre. -

Me and my family went here because we got a package deal for a 3 course meal and a view to see the jays game. The view is great huge glass windows right above the field. We all ordered our meals at once and then they brought out our food progressively.
The food: I ordered the mixed greens salad which was decent, needed a bit more dressing and was a bit lacking in ingredients (just had mixed greens, almonds and goat cheese), my mom had the mussels which she really enjoyed and my boyfriend had the artichoke and asiago dip which he didn't comment on but he ate it all so I'm assuming it was at least decent.
For the main I had the pulled pork sandwich, they tried to class it up by adding cheese and arugula ont he sandwich but it was missing the classic smoky flavour that pulled pork has, however it was tasty. My mom had the pasta with shrimp and mussels (yes she likes mussels) with a tomato cream sauce which she said she throughly enjoyed. My boyfriend had a beautiful plate of pickerel with risotto with peas and carrots it looked gorgeous and he loved it.
Dessert, I had the bread pudding (see photo) omg SO GOOD, my boyfriend had the creme brulee cheesecake which he loved and my mom had the raspberry sorbet which she didn't finish but they gave a large portion.
Overall the food was a 7 out of 10 for me.
The Decor: Beautiful, I loved all the colours the tables where plain white but all the furniture was crazy vibrant colours - i.e. lime green, bright orange and blue. It was great. -

Took our son there for his birthday lunch. Expected a great baseball game, but didn't expect much on food or service when we walked in, but surprise, the food was actually quite good. Bread comes with hummus - bonus. The service was 5-star! Will be back for sure!
