    The food was excellent as was the service. Wait staff was very attentive without being obtrusive. The ambiance was good, the piano music was excellent although a bit loud. The only issue I have is that the prices for the specials were not relayed to us, one special was $90. That would have been a bit of sticker shock had we both ordered it! Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed celebrating my husband's birthday with a great dinner and a complimentary slice of delicious cheesecake at Arabella's!

    This was my 4th visit to Arabellas, which shows that I really enjoy this restaurant. We were joined by another couple. They raved about their dinner, they both had the lobster ravioli, which I suggested as I had that dish on a prior visit. My husband had the veal parm and he also enjoyed immensely. Now to my dish. I ordered a seafood plate with pasta. Shrimp, mussels and scallops. The shrimp was overcooked and tough, the scallops were undercooked, the mussels were delectable. The pasta was overcooked I always want el Dante. Now the whole dish was covered in sliced garlic. I ended up removing the garlic as best I could, as it was just too overpowering and not pleasant. I was very disappointed. For dessert my husband I had the cherries jubilee, it was delightful. I love this restaurant and will definitely return, but will not order the pasta/seafood dish.

    We had 7:00 reservations got seated at 7:30…took over 30 minutes before we got our salad… then an hour later before we got our main course… did not matter that we asked about when our food was going to be served… evidently this is normal…

    Special evening with friends celebrating end of cancer treatment and ringing the bell. Our waiters were excellent bringing and refilling waters promptly. Our cocktails were served quickly along with homemade soft warm garlic bread. Three of us ordered mushroom ravioli and one ordered salmon. All were absolutely delicious! The piano player even played our requests! Thank you Arabella’s for helping make our evening so special!

    We were visiting from California and randomly came across Arabella’s. Our daughter’s name is Arabelle so we decided it was meant to be. From the moment you walk in you feel welcomed. The ambience was great, the food was exceptional, and the pianist, Christopher was spectacular. He made the whole experience even better. He played Enter Sandman for our son. Very talented! If you ever find yourself in Winter Haven, you must visit this little gem!
