Amazing dining experience, in the most humble setting.
Nothing grandiose about this place. Just pure skill and craft at work. Whether it’s ice cream or a full dinner.
We were thoroughly impressed with the food and service.
Again, THE FOOD!!! I don’t do fine dining often, but Arethusa is the perfect example!
Reservations; yes. Expectations of an excellent meal; yes. Left at 9:30 pm the restaurant was still full. Excellent staff. Excellent food. A bit loud due to size, but still able to enjoy table conversation. Staff are truly incredible. Just the right amount of attention and friendliness without being pretentious. I was worried it would be too stuffy. Oh no, perfect! The food- spot on. Definitely worth a visit.
Arethusa is dialed in !!! Celebrating a second night in anniversary weekend we arrived pretty early on a busy night. They were most kind and got us a seat at the bar so we could have a cocktail and peruse the menu. It wasn’t long and we were seated and enjoying a lot of shared plates. The service was excellent. Everything expedited and followed up on. The cheese board was divine. A nice touch on desert. What a time. Glad we dressed up as there was a nice level of presentation going on.
We came here for my special man's birthday. He thoroughly enjoyed his meal, I on the other hand, did not. I feel my taste buds may be off. Staff so sweet & courteous. Recommend getting reservations as it gets busy & is not that large of a space. Try to go early so you can go next door & get ice cream before it closes!
This restaurant is exceptional. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, they make excellent food and drink suggestions, are patient when you can’t decide what to eat (because everything on the menu looks incredible!), and concern themselves with providing an amazing dining experience. It’s crazy that a sleepy town houses one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. We chose this location to celebrate our anniversary and they made it very special. The vibe is cozy and classy, and the food is cooked to perfection. It’s easy to tell that the chefs love food and care about crafting delicious, palate exploding dishes. I can’t wait to go back and try more of their food!
