Best Historic Restaurants in Arden

Our birthday celebration meal was so perfect! Our food was delicious- Margherita pizza with the thinnest crispy crust, the green weeds salad we shared, and the little Carmelo pasta was a real treat with the added balsamic addition. All of the pasta, made in house, was al dente with perfect amounts of sauce. But the staff at Luminosa was, as always, exemplary in their attentiveness, knowledge of the menu items, and kindness. They make this wonderfully historic space worth coming often, which I have! We even got a tour of the newly opened red ribbon space - thank you Ace, Sara Charles and Amy.

Our waiter, Daphne was superb. Great service and a fine dining experience. Delicious root vegetables and salad with pomegranate, squash, pecans, goat cheese. We had a wonderful evening and ended it by sharing the chocolate mousse which was decadent.

Delicious creative menu. Home churned butter on the rolls! Super attentive service this evening, and charming atmosphere.

I recently visited Elevations Chophouse, and I can’t say enough about how perfect the experience was! The steaks were cooked to perfection, full of flavor, and so tender. The ambiance was warm and elegant, which made the evening feel special. Big thanks to the staff for their outstanding service – they made us feel like VIPs!

This was a girls weekend for us and we enjoyed the setting and location of District 42. We didn’t realize it was at a hotel and never once felt like we were in a hotel. Set in the middle of the city it was fun to have our first evening there!
