    This wasn't our first visit to Barbarella's and it won't be the last. I love this restaurant! I love the feeling of being here, every dish we have tried is delicious and the service is always top notch. Our waiter Christian took such great care of us and provided us the most excellent experience. If you haven't already been here please don't wait too long, it will be a night out you won't forget.

    I had a fantastic anniversary dinner at Annabelle’s Kitchen Downtown. The food was exceptional, clearly made with care, and the service was attentive without being intrusive. The atmosphere was great, though a loud customer caused a slight disruption. Overall, a wonderful experience that I’ll definitely repeat!
