    Exceptional dining experience! This was our 4th time visiting Arethusa, and the consistency is spot on. Hospitality and overall service was as good as it gets. The Chef is the real deal. Food is creative and delicious. This is a 5 star restaurant that is still climbing. Kudos to the Arethusa team

    Exceptional...cuisine imaginative and sumptuous ... the service attentive and considered... dining room is busy and a little too loud to for quiet conversation, but our meals were superb... the attention to detail by the service staff makes this a must return for us... Bravo!

    This wasn’t just a dinner. It was a food experience. Right from the start - the chef’s taste of a puréed beet and cauliflower mix- every plate was a delightful blend of flavors. A truly gifted chef. I had yellowtail tartare to start and ginger crusted salmon as a main. Both dishes were some of the best I’ve ever had. My husband had the same experience with a lobster and avocado appetizer and a Mediterranean Sea bass with white beans and Kalamata olives. We live in NYC and have been to some great restaurants, but we will make the drive up here to repeat this experience. The service was as great as the food. Attentive, efficient and friendly. Thank you April for your service!

    Outstanding food. I had planned this dinner months in advance and it did not disappoint! The only hang up was on the service & speed, but it did NOT ruin the experience as we had all night to enjoy it. It did take over 15 minutes before we were even given water, but the waitstaff acknowledged the shortcomings and apologized as it continued through the night. We had a newer waitress and having worked in the industry we both had no problem letting it slide and enjoying the night. The food was excellent. It’s a great spot. They have more experienced servers that do an excellent job upholding the level this restaurant deserves (we overheard). We also went at PEAK dinner time 6:45 reservation so I absolutely will give a lot of leeway there! All in all we had a great time, from start to finish the experience was about 2-1/2 hours so plan accordingly! Make it a night! It’s worth going!
