    Our server and other wait staff were terrific. Food was good. The woman who seated us was rude!!! She was not suited for the job. Talked to fast. Wanted our beverage order before we had even sat down. I told her we were not going to be rushed. It was a holiday and we were there to enjoy. She put a disgruntled face on and walked away.

    Food was very good. Usually it’s excellent but this visit was fine. Service was incredibly slow. Took forever for each part of our meal to arrive.

    We have enjoyed many meals at Arethusa and the quality of the food never disappoints — it’s as good as some of the best restaurants in NYC, but without the pretense. This time, the service was a little slow but the staff is always very friendly and the overall experience was outstanding.

    The food is both delicious and presented beautifully, the service is very attentive and friendly, and the bartender, Brian, is exceptional. The little extras - the amuse bouche, the bread, and the petit fours at the end of the meal - enhance the already special experience. Wonderful all around.

    We dined here for a special anniversary and were surprised to find Happy Anniversary written in chocolate on our dessert plates. Food and service were excellent.

    We had a reservation at 7:30 and had to stand at the bar until seated at 8:15. Called ahead to give card info to cover the bill so the server wouldn't drop the check for the party. Server still dropped the check. Long wait for food even though we had to put in apps and entres together. Only gave small amount of bread to start. Tres Leches was very small. Expensive for very small amount of food but the food we did get was tasty- just delayed and we were very hungry from the wait. Probably worth a single visit but will not be returning.
