    I have been to Arethusa’s before and had an amazing experience. I took my two daughters last night and I was so happy to have shared the experience with them. They were extremely impressed with the service and the quality of the food. This is surely a 5 star place for me. ❤️

    I came for a brunch. I was going to order crab cakes Benedict. I asked about the crab cakes and whether they are pure crab. The response was that they were almost half bread. I ordered the short ribbon hash and vegetables. The hash had very little short ribs, and other than potatoes, I saw almost no vegetables. I was very disappointed.

    Never been before thought we’d give it a try. Don’t think the reservation was really necessary but the dining area was very clean and welcoming. The server, Lisa, was a super sweet and attentive. Helped make recommendations and substitutions as requested. The food was great. Spinach salad was a nice taste of summer with berries and goat cheese. I had the steak which was cooked as requested. The veggies were were also tender crisp and not covered in oil or butter. Definitely recommend this spot. Lisa was a true delight as a server and we had a great time with her.
