Wait staff is excellent.
Food is excellent.
Everything is excellent.

One of the few places available enjoy your dinner and not be rushed out. Thank you

Arabella’s never disappoints - it has been several years since we dined there and nothing changed, everything was superb. We can’t wait to return to experience another exceptional dining experience.

My husband and I went to celebrate our 12th anniversary. We were not disappointed. The waiter was fantastic. Their were plenty of staff on hand to refill drinks and take away plates. There was a live piano player that eagerly took requests. He even came over to play on an accordion a song for our anniversary. We never felt rushed. In fact, we had 6 pm reservations and didn't leave until almost 8 pm. Absolutely fantastic time!

We had dinner friends. The calamari was gigantic in quantity. All of the entrees and appetizers were delicious. The drinks were good. It's a good place to get together with another couple or a special occasion. One of the best dining options in our area.

Great as always

Great time and great food!

Excellent Caesar salad done table side. Sea bass was outstanding as was the veal.

It's always an excellent experience when dining at Arabellas. Best restaurant in all of Polk county.

Went for dinner and it was delicious. The atmosphere was pleasant and the piano player set the mood for a relaxing evening. Service spot on, and didn't realize how long we had been there. Will definitely go back,

Arabellas was up to its old standards, as it has been each time I have dined there. Whenever we are in the local area, this restaurant is a must for my husband and I. So often we are disappointed s old favorites slip, but not Arabellas.
The food is in more than generous quantities, but more importantly, it is high in quality. Plump and tasty escargot, crisp salads and pasta that is actually properly al dente - a frequent miss even in restaurants that supposedly specialize in pasta. We both ordered chicken dishes that were tender, juicy and full of rich flavors. Our server was outstanding and more than helpful. And of course, the piano player is one of our favorite people in the restaurant.
Resorting to very small nits to find a negative, the noise level was higher than normal (a few patrons arrived determined to have their voices heard above all others - something the restaurant cannot control). And the bread service was not much above the regular run of the mill; perhaps some ciabatta next time?

This restaurant is a great place.for fine dining and for intimate dining

They made me feel special for my bday! Food and service were AMAZING!!

This was a special evening and we chose to celebrate at a restaurant that we had been wanting to try for almost 4 years. This wS the right choice for our celebration and we highly recommend Arabellas to anyone looking for a fine dining experience with ambiance, excellent food and service.

Loved the live music in the restaurant. Also not many places give you the sorbet pre main fish. Nice touch.

We went for lunch the service was ok. We usually go for Dinner and the service is all ways excellent.

Everything was nice, but I didn’t like that at dinner they change out the forks and everyone is nice and friendly, but for this lunch experience, everyone at the restaurant is rushing and the service isn’t as good.

It was truly amazing! The service was amazing as always! Very welcoming and attentive! It was our anniversary and we are expecting our first child and everyone was so kind!

Love to have dinner there on special occasions. Birthdays every year

Piano music is always a bonus! The food was excellent!!

Very nice upscale Italian restaurant. With a live piano player, who takes requests and will sing happy birthday at your table. The food is amazing.

Great experience Love the atmosphere with the piano
Service was very good

Amazing. We will be back for a fancy date night for sure. Worth the 30 min drive where we are in Lakeland!

the food, service and ambient, rises to meet the fine dinning level experience.

The service was remarkable, staff was very polite and efficient. Loved the pianist, and selections of tunes, including requests. Good choice of wines and entrees, large portions, and excellent cuisine. We're going back!

Arabellas is a fabulous experience.

This was a very nice and elegant restaurant. It is the perfect restaurant for a date night, anniversary or a special dinner. All the workers there were super nice

We visited to celebrate two couples Anniversaries; which the server even mentioned at the begin; but we were never recognized after. One could expect a little token at a higher priced Restaurant like this.
We have been there a couple of times prior; but service was extremely slow that night.

This lived up to all the hype I've ever heard about Arabellas.

Best food to be had in Polk county!

Another visit and yet again a wonderful experience! The Team at Arabella’s have provided memorable, tasteful, and delightful experiences on each and every visit. Thanks again!!

Very tasty food in a comfortable ambience. Great service.

Special friends

Our favorite for special occasions. Northern Italian flavorings.

We love this amazing restaurant and everything it has to offer. Top notch staff, amazing food and incredible service!

What a great experience! Manhattans, food, service and the music were outstanding.

Food was great as always. Service was not up to par. Left out one complete service (aperitif). Drinks were very light and had to be remade. Not what we had come expect over many years

Service and food were very good but it took our food a while to come out. One of our party had to leave before we were served. This was my first time at Arabella's for lunch so I am not sure if this was a fluke or if it is the norm.

Absolutely the best Italian food I have had since moving to Fl 15 years ago. The soup was outstanding!!!! The veal was not overly breaded or cooked and the pasta supreme. Best of all was dessert.

Arabellas is by far the finest restaurant around. So perfect for special occasions. We've been going there for a number of years and it never disappoints.
