    Everything we've ever enjoyed here has been exquisite. Perfect meals, attentive service, every time. I always order the Steak Lady Diana which is prepared tableside. I didn't need a knife to cut the generous filets. My husband ordered a pasta dish with veal, shrimp and scallops which he very much enjoyed also. The pasta is made in-house. The bread is always delicious and was served with whipped butter and house made hummus, salads were crisp and very fresh and the steamed vegetables served with my entree were perfection. Reservations are always recommended.

    I heard they had great filet’s so we both ordered them but a bit disappointed. There was no seasoning on the steak, but a sauce that was just ok. I have had steak other places that cost less and were great. We loved the service and attention to detail. Im not sure i would go there again . I guess i expected a steak that you can cut with a butter knife. Obviously people like the place, i am just not a fan.

    Wonderful Saturday night dining experience. Noise level was high, but that was due to a nearby party of about 12 doing a birthday celebration. Once they left, everyone, even the piano player, gave a sigh of relief. LOL. Speaking of the piano player, he is as big contributor to the great dining experience. Multi-talented and just a plain fun person. Service by Linsey was wonderful. The table waiters are very attentive. They provided Rasbery sorbet to cleanse the pallet before the main course. The food and sauces were wonderful. Vegetables were cooked to perfection. Pasta was great. I had blackened Grouper. Great flavor and flakey texture.

    The noise level along with the piano, made it difficult to hear the waiters as well as converse with my wife. I had the cowboy cut ribeye, which was so fatty that I had maybe four or five bites of this 20 ounce steak that were not primarily fat. I ended up throwing away close to 50% of the steak because it was pure fat. Certainly not worth the $100 plus that I paid for it. My wife was pleased with her meal of the special group or dish. The complementary cheesecake for our anniversary was very nice and we appreciated it. Our experience was not worth the $250 we spent for dinner.

    Started with a bottle of Pinot Grigio, then Caesar Salad made table side for two. It was perfect! Wife had Shrimp and Scallops with Mustard Dijon Cream Sauce, I had the Lobster Ravioli. Both were amazing! Service was very good. We will diffidently return! Would highly recommend Arabella's to family and friends!

    Our annual visit to Arabella's for my wife's birthday. As always, the food is excellent and served hot. The wine list and the spirits list is extensive!! The chicken parm was huge. Enough for 3 people. I had the sea scallops and shrimp Portofino. Dessert was chocolate lava cake - to die for. Service as usual was outstanding. Just one little glitch - my wife did not get the 20% entree discount for her birthday.

    We love Arabella’s. It is a perfect spot for celebrating a special occasion. I was here this visit for my birthday. The food is always consistently delicious. My favorite thing is the linguine allo scaglio. The scallops, shrimp, and mussels are large and the broth is light and flavorful. I also love the crème brûlée. They light liquor under the dish so it is heated by the flame. The prices include a wonderful salad and a tiny scoop of homemade sorbet as a palate cleanser. The decor and the piano just adds to the overall experience. If you haven’t been yet, you are missing out.

    First time here was on my birthday. Wasn’t impressed so read dress business casual but we were only ones dressed up. Guy in shorts and sleeveless shirt and ladies In workout clothes so wish we would have know would’ve dressed more comfortable. We were seated in a small 2 person booth behind me was outlet’s with wires everywhere. I got lasagna it was okay for price Olive Garden is just as good and there were big pieces of Italian sausage I picked out one had hard piece in it I had to pick out of my mouth. At least at Olive Garden you get soup or salad unlimited with for price…got the crème brûlée dessert it was good have had better had to wait for hot flame to burn out took awhile and burnt some of top. Sorry won’t be back can’t recommend.

    Unusually slow service at lunch with a 1/3 filled space. Given the wrong order, veal vs. parm. chicken which was over cooked. We love Arabellas. Everyone has a bad day but I hope not a trend.
