    Recently relocated to Winter Haven so this was our 1st time dining here to celebrate our Anniversary. We were extremely pleased with the service and food. Many menu choices, nice wine list, good cocktails, upscale ambiance. Enjoyed the pianist. Leo was a very good server and paced courses to our liking. Vinny, maitre'd, made a wonderful Steak Lady Diane entree tableside for two. Will definitely be our local "special occasion" restaurant. Included house or Caesar salad, sorbet, hot bread with olive tapenaude. Easy free parking in public lot across the street.

    Outstanding meal. Impeccable service, fun unique ambiance and some of the most delicious dishes we have had in a long time. My husband said his beef ravioli with steak on top was the best dish he's ever had. Outstanding wine menu. Expensive but WELL worth the cost. A must do if you are in Winter Haven and you want an outstanding memorable fine dining experience.

    We arrived early and were seated promptly. Live piano music made it difficult to carry on a conversation. Drinks were ordered and arrived timely as was the salad which was very tasty. My spouse ordered a shrimp appetizer which was adequate in taste. We both ordered veal. My veal picatta was thick and chewy. My spouse ordered veal parmagiana. It was cooked along the edges, but the center was raw. They removed it and replaced with a fresh plate, which was much better. But still the veal was thick, not thin and tenderized pieces like one would expect. The management removed the cost for the veal parm and did provide us with a complimentary dessert as it was our wedding anniversary. Later that evening we both suffered from gastric distress and we're pretty much done it the following day. Not sure what caused it, but we suspect the veal.

    Always a great experience at Arabellas. The bruchetta and flan were off the chairs delicious. The chicken/scallop/shrimp over pasta was average. My dad had the steak and it was absolutely delicious!!

    Great new restaurant for us. Feels like we’re at a New York restaurant. The food was delicious. The table side cesar salad is the bomb! A must if you’re in the downtown Winter Haven area
