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!

From the appetizers to the main course and dessert, every dish was a masterpiece. Chef Steven Rojas has truly brought a culinary gem to the area. My wife and I gladly make the drive from Lakeland to savor these epic creations. Our only regret? Not discovering this place sooner! Do yourself a favor and indulge in the best food Central Florida has to offer.
