    If you are looking for a real meal with proper service, Arabella’s is the place in Winter Haven! We typically have to travel for a similar experience, but they have a great reputation so we gave them a try. The service was spectacular and the food was well prepared with generous—but not overwhelming—portions. My veal was on the tough side but my husband’s was perfect, so I think it was just an anomaly. We were late for the theatre and sadly didn’t have time for dessert. We’ll be back for Cherries Jubilee!

    I have been here several times. It’s one of my favorite places to go for celebration and when people come visit me from out of town. Food is always great, service is great…. If you know, you know!

    The wife and I were celebrating her birthday and the service was excellent. The food was very good, however, the wife's veal was a little over cooked but they made made up for it. My seafood pasta was great. We will definitely go back to check out some of the other dishes on the menu, and enjoy the ambiance.

    We went for the first time for my husband's 70th birthday along with our son, his wife and 3 kids. The food was good but the wait was long. We enjoyed the table side Caesar salad...it was very good. It seemed very expensive, costing us almost $500.
