A message from Roger Keenan, Executive Chef:
Arpeggio is an epicure's dinner buffet that changes with each concert. The foods are of the highest quality, such as premium fruits and vegetables, imported and domestic artisan cheese, sausages and meats from Italy, Colorado rack of lamb, "Kurobuta" pork, ahi tuna, dry aged beef and wild king salmon, to name a few, along with accompaniments to complement the cooking techniques that are used.

Our philosophy is that of "procuring the highest quality product, cooking it to perfection and presenting it in a creative way". We hope you will join us each week as we explore some wonderful food options and incredible tastes.
