Best Historic Restaurants in Franconia

Food prepared, served and tasted exceptionally. A tad overpriced for wine and coffees costs but expected for a fine dining restaurant like Arielle's. Take note: service fee charged if credit card used. Also, table time limited to 2 hours, we, party of 4, were asked to vacate our table at 7:10 pm, reservations for 5 pm, understandable, but could have been handled better. I was in the ladies room, come out, and handed my coat! Rest of my party in bar area, we were told we could continue our evening there but my coffee was not brought to me. We left but my ? Is why did we get refills (coffee asked for, water not) if they needed table? Just finished dessert at 6:50, enjoying coffee after, the move should have been mentioned sooner! Still will go back for a fine meal, but eat quicker.

Excellent food, service and ambience! Wonderful Christmas luncheon with the girls.

Our 2nd visit. Our party of four enjoyed a fabulous meal. Upon arrival, we were offered two seating options after noticing an open booth in the bar area. The circular booth in a nearby dining room was cozy but we wanted a livelier atmosphere in the bar area and went with that. Great service with attention to detail. Warm, delicious rolls, martinis and then shared salads. Each meal was delivered timely. Attended a show at the theatre that night and stayed at the hotel with breakfast included. We are already planning a return visit. Highly recommend.

We were celebrating a birthday and we were seated in a small private room, which was perfect for our party. Our waitress Tina was awesome. She gave great recommendations and was very attentive. Her assistant Finn also did a great job.

Everyone was friendly, food was delicious. Great place for a special occasion.
