Arena's Five Points

Arena's Five Points was a tasty brunch spot this weekend.
For $44 without tip, we had the cheesesteak sub with chips (fries would be a $4 upcharge, which is expensive), Henlopen omelet, cheese omelet, one coffee and one soft drink. The tater tots were delicious, and the eggs were so good. A tall, African American gentleman brought our food out and he was very nice. Our server, Dalton Z., was excellent and very nice. He checked on us often and made sure we had everything we needed.
The restaurant atmosphere was confusing because we stood in the entryway for a few minutes, waiting to be seated, until another customer who was waiting for his food informed us that it's a "seat yourself" establishment. Another gentleman was standing in front of a sign that stated this so we had no idea, but staff walking around never mentioned anything, which would have been appreciated. I didn't want to remove stars from "Service" since Dalton was excellent so I gave "Atmosphere" 3 stars.
There were no seats available indoors, so we sat outside and unfortunately, nobody came out for ten minutes. I think the restaurant could benefit from a host/hostess system because we almost left but thankfully Dalton greeted us and he was so friendly that we decided to stay.
The restaurant doesn't have dedicated parking and it gets busy in the area, so prepare to potentially walk a bit on evenings and weekends. The restaurant inside is cramped and not wheelchair or stroller accessible.

We had lunch at Arena’s Five Points with 4 adults and 2 kids. The kids’ menu was pretty limited, which made it tough to find options for them. The BLT sandwich my husband had got high taste remarks, but the bread needed more toasting. One of the grilled cheese orders came out with the cheese not melted, so it had to be returned. I picked chili for my side, but it was watery and didn’t have much flavor. Service was also on the slower side.
That said, it’s a cute spot in a really charming area with quaint shops around. I’d be open to giving it another try, and if I do, I’ll update this review.
