We really enjoy our visits to ARA so much, everyone is always friendly, the food is great and service is attentive. This time I ordered the Cornish hen, there was such a large portion I was able to take it home and enjoy it again. Wonderful!

The restaurant was expensive and they turned the lights on while we were still enjoying our drinks on a Saturday night. Wait staff was rude to do so.
