Long Island's Newest 'Vibe Dining Hot Spot'the Arden

The long awaited Arden is set to open as Long Island's newest "vibe dining hot spot" located in the heart of Port Jefferson Village. It can be described as an "upscale restaurant meets premier ultra-lounge" serving up eclectic culinary delights, and hand-crafted spirits served by a first-class staff. The decor is inspired by the Manhattan design firm Celano Design who boasts a prestigious client list across the country, including LIVNightclub at Miami Beach's Fontainebleau Hotel, Bagatelle in Las Vegas, STK in Miami and Tavernita in Chicago. These influences come to life at the Arden with plush banquette seating fused with the warmth of beautiful reclaimed woods and candles lit throughout its interior.

Inside the 4,400 square foot entertainment space seats nearly 140 for dinner and can occupy up to 250 guests in a rustic-chic setting. It is the perfect venue for live music featuring Long Island's most popular bands equipped throughout with a state-of-the-art sound and AV system making it easy to groove and dance to the music. The 17 oversized LED HDTV's make it a perfect setting for major sporting events.

The first-class restaurant features an American style "tapas" gourmet menu offering a variety of small and large plates meant to be shared. The knowledgeable staff is prepared to offer the perfect pairings of cocktails, beers and wines to quench the palette.

The Arden's "Pour Your Own Pint" Experience is a fun, engaging feature in this upscale restaurant-lounge that creates a self-serve draft solution at various tables throughout the Arden. Table Taps are operated by tablet touch screens offering a variety of beer taps throughout the Arden's bar area.

The Arden is also an ideal setting to celebrate any special occasion event; private or public. Whether it's a Holiday Party, Birthday or Engagement celebration, a private or corporate event, the attentive staff will exceed your highest expectations. The Arden's menu was created by the executive chef at Dockers in Westhampton, Chef Scott Hastings. From duck tacos to sushi to Papardelle short-rib ragu to a 24oz Tomahawk ribeye, the menu is an eclectic collection of savory flavors.

For dinner, cocktails and live music or to book a special event, the Arden provides the ultimate night-out experience. For more information, go to theardenportjeff.com.
