Amazing dining experience
The Arsonist is probably one of the best dining experiences I have had. I recommend the small feast, the layers of uncomplicated of flavours in each dish were delicious. From the Rye bread with the brisket infused butter to the desert, (we tried a couple) and everything in-between. The staff know their stuff and the cocktails were a reasonable price and very good.
