My wife & I went for our25th wedding anniversary. The food was excellent, the staff were very attentive but the highlight was the pianist Christian Bell! He played everything & was a very energetic breath of fresh air!! He took requests so I decided to challenge him & requested The Rain Must Fall by Yanni! When he played it, he did it with the heart & feeling that only a true musician could have done it with! It was exquisite, beautiful, heartfelt & brought a tear to my eye. My wife was stunned! I would return just to hear Christian Bell again!

My date and I enjoyed the triple tail special, and we had the cherries jubilee for dessert. Dinner was excellent, Cherries jubilee was good I think next time I will try the banana fosters.

Our meal was wonderful. Very good pacing, we didn’t feel rushed at all. I’d recommend this for a special night out.

It was wonderful. Great quality, service, and experience.

Unfortunately my dinner was barely warm and it had taken a good while to receive it so I didn’t send it back. We needed to get home and didn’t want to start over. Appetizer Calamari rings were very tiny but tasty. Servers knowledgeable and friendly. I ordered cheesecake for dessert and it was an extremely small piece for $10.00.

Perfect night! Everything was great!

Very friendly! Amazing staff! Will be a forever customer!

Recently had lunch at Arabella’s with some friends after hearing such rave reviews and I was sorely disappointed! When we were seated, there was a dead fly on the tablecloth. When I pointed it out, the manager flicked it with his finger and it hit the window and fell onto the floor next to me. Disgusting! He then proceeded to make a table-side jubilee for the table beside ours and I did not see him clean his hands. My pasta was over cooked, clearly from frozen not fresh pasta, and over sauced. This is a restaurant that may have been wonderful several decades ago, but it is old, tired, and well past it’s prime. I’m sure the retired crowd that frequents this restaurant are seeing it as it was in the past, but for this first-timer, I would never return. This restaurant is way overrated.

We absolutely love this place. The atmosphere is wonderful. Food is also top tier. We really enjoy the piano player. The staff is super friendly. We will continue to frequent Arabella’s.

We really enjoyed the nice atmosphere and the piano performance during our meal. The food tasted great and the presentation was elegant. We will recommend to our friends and family.
