Fodor’s guide to the region lists Arigato as one of the most notable restaurants, but even then warns of a sometimes 45-minute wait. However, this delay seems to trouble no one; the place does not take reservations and it’s always crowded. The best way to describe Arigato is it’s a permanent great party. Customers are bright and chattering, while behind the scenes efficient machinery grinds away at keeping customers pleased with artfully constructed dishes. It goes without saying that freshness is paramount; the subtle part is how spectacular the flavors remain night after crowded night of exquisite frivolity.
