Food - as always - great. Standards have gone down a bit though, compared to previous visits. The new (first time, we saw him) waiter was dressed in black shirt but with really scruffy jeans. All other (female) waiting staff were always dressed in proper “appropriate white & black”.

Amazing food. Amazing service. Went in for a late lunch. Arto's has a lovely relaxed atmosphere and the food was fabulous. I can thoroughly recommend the halloumi, veggie and avocado wrap. Lovely little touches like a delicious lemon sauce. Great place!

staff is very nice, plenty of gluten free options and knowledgeable kitchen. A bit in the expensive side. We had the chicken sufflaki, sea bass, salad and shrimp skewers - ok overall but not a lot of food. The best the chickens and the most unprovable the shrimp.

We always pay a visit to Arto when in Dorking with friends and/ or our large breed dog. Atmosphere is always lovely and food delicious. We had the Mushroom Risotto's this time and Piri Piri Chicken. Nicely presented and good poriton size. We then finished with the Coconut Panna cotta and Lemon Creme Brulee. Staff always curteous and helpful. Will look forward to our next visit

Popped in here for brunch - and have to say the food was pretty good. Burger was tasty - and the breakfast was also good and a generous portion. Only issue was service was slow and plates left on table for an age. It wasn't the fault of the server - she was the only person on duty and she desperately needed some help. Would defo return - but more staff needed.

We visited Dorking to watch the football and chanced upon Arto for a quick meal before we caught the train. Absolutely fantastic meal and service. I had the starter size ribs and potato skins whilst my partner had the ravioli.. Both were delicious.. The apple and orchard fruit crumble was also totally gorgeous. The owner was really friendly and spent time chatting to us about our visit and the football. Would highly recommend and will definitely visit again if we're ever in Dorking in the future..

We happened upon this venue after searching the local area for somewhere nice to have lunch. Arto offered a clean and friendly venue with plenty of capacity during the busier afternoon lunch period. The staff were exceptionally friendly, even on the phone before we arrived when we booked a table. Service was a little slower because it we visited during a peak time, but this didn't detract from the wonderful food. The menu catered for different food requirements (vegan, gluten free etc.), the portions were generous and full of flavour.
