    We celebrated our 46th Anniversary at Arabella's, and everything was absolutely perfect. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional -we were promptly seated with our waiter ready to welcome us. The Amaretto Sours were a fantastic start! We shared the Calamari, Pasta Purses, and Caesar Salad - each one fresh and flavorful. For our main courses, the Ribeye and Scampi Fra'diavolo were outstanding - truly memorable dishes. And of course, we couldn't leave without enjoying my wife's favorite dessert: Tiramisu! Huge thanks to Shem and his assistant for the outstanding service, and to Chris for adding the perfect musical ambiance. Arabella's continues to be a special place for us - we're already looking forward to our next visit!

    We were visiting from South Carolina. It was our anniversary and wanted it to be nice and romantic. The place is beautiful. A piano player who also went around with his accordion and sang for birthdays and for our anniversary. The food was delicious! Prepared to perfection. We were very pleased!!

    We had an incredible experience at this restaurant! From the moment we arrived, the two young ladies who served us were very pleasant and attentive, making us feel truly welcome. I absolutely loved the live piano music and the option to put in song requests — such a fun and personal touch. To top it off, a gentleman played the accordion for my wife and me in celebration of our anniversary, which made the night even more special. The food was beyond amazing, especially the steak prepared table side — it was a true show and tasted phenomenal. The ambience was perfect, creating a warm and memorable evening. Highly recommend! I’ll definitely be back and more often.

    Food is definitely a "5". Not sure what our waiter's problem was, but definitely not someone that you would invite to your party. We ordered, and also told him that we didn't want the entree brought out until we were completely finished with the sorbet. He was surprisingly defensive. Never asked us what dressing we wanted or what the default dressing was on the salad. When the waiter one table over said, here is your salad with blue cheese dressing, I called our waiter over and asked him what the choices were. I wanted Ranch, but he was going to give me vinaigrette. I also wanted the linguini in a separate bowl with tomato sauce instead of the lemon-wine on the plate with the veal piccata. He seemed annoyed, and said there would be a $2 upcharge. Really? $2 more for $0.25 worth of Ragu tomato sauce? 1st time in any restaurant that a minor request like this was an upcharge. Not even in Manhattan. As we were being seated, the hostess asked if we were celebrating any special occasion. It was our anniversary. 3 tables got a Happy Birthday serenade, plus a slice of cake. We got nothing. (Last year for our anniversary, we go a great piece of cheesecake to share.) In spite of the service we gave the usual 20% tip, plus $5 to the piano player for playing our song request. Definitely was not a solid "5" on this visit.

    3rd or 4th visit since we moved to the area and this was not up to par. Service was extremely slow and the food was underwhelming.
