    Entrees were fantastic. Piano player slightly annoying. Service was very thorough. Nice crowd. Certainly the best upscale restaurant in Winter Haven.

    I've been dining at Arrabella's for many years. It's a good meeting point for my husband and I (we live in Orlando) and his mother (she lives in Sebring). The food and service are always amazing. Expensive, but, it's a good value for the money. For example, I had the steak Lady Diana prepared tableside. It think it was $52. It came with garlic bread, house salad, sorbet between courses, and it was served with potatoes and mixed vegetables. There is piano player who takes requests. The same guy has been there over 10 years. We were celebrating my MIL's birthday. They made it extra special for her by bringing out her tiramisu on a plate with happy birthday written on it and a candle on top. The piano player also plays the accordion. He came over to the table with the accordion and played happy birthday for her. It made the evening very special.

    We have had several memorable dinners at this restaurant. This night was not one of them but not negative enough to keep us from returning. The food was not up to Arabella standard (mushy risotto/dry fish) and the service not as good (very attentive when he was attentive but having the waiter do tableside service for other tables meant that we waited although his assistant was very helpful)

    Undoubtedly the best restaurant in Polk County. Prices on the upper end of the scale but worth every penny. We go as often as we can.

    Met three colleagues for lunch and it was perfect. The food was excellent and the ambiance allowed for us to discuss business without feeling rushed. I would definitely recommend Arabellas to all.
