We enjoyed dining at Aracosia on Valentines Day. Our only concern was we ordered cocktails that didn’t arrive before our food.The server reported the bar was very busy. We cancelled the cocktail order and requested a glass of wine to have with dinner. The server delivered it promptly.

Awesome experience at lunch today! Food was fresh, tasted great and they worked with my dietary constraints. Server Dominick was outstanding. Room music was pleasant but not so loud as to drown out conversations. The only thing I'd suggest if they would please calculate the carbs in each, (or a few) of the selections, it'd make it easier for diabetics to eat there.
