    Our party of four was very pleased with all aspects of our dinner at the restaurant. It was our first time there and we were very impressed with the food and service. The service could not be better. We certainly will return.

    Everything about our dining experience was great. The food was tasty and wonderful. I was worried the portions wouldn't be big enough but in the end I was more than full. We had an appetizer, a main and split a dessert. Out waiter was very attentive but didn't loiter or bother us constantly. The dinner was extremely well paced and we had time to enjoy our meal and conversation without feeling rushed or forgotten. It is not a cheap dinner but for a special occasion and the quality of the food I highly recommend it. The surprise birthday candle with our complimentary marshmallows was a nice touch.

    The food was excellent as always but the service was extremely slow. Two courses took more than an hour and a half. We might have had a third course but lost patience waiting to receive a desert menu and decided to leave. It felt like the restaurant was understaffed. Everyone was courteous and professional when attending our table, but we received less attention than usual for such an upscale restaurant. The slow pace of service detracted from the overall experience, which is unfortunate because we have been to Arethusa many times and love the food.
