the wait was LONG – We waited a LONG time for our food. We waited one hour for three sandwiches. We were expecting bread and did not get any so we asked and were told that bread would cost extra. One waitress for the entire restaurant. Our waitress was not great, she did not come back, and was clearly overworked. The food was good, but we definitely would not return due to the long wait.

top of my list for W Hartford – Have been there twice…back to back nights in early September. Found the overall experience so good we went back the following night and the experience was repeated. The service was attentive, the kitchen flexible and accommodating, they were willing to adjust their signature salad "fattoush" to include some items I requested. The wine list was very surprising in that the price points were very friendly, almost too good to believe. But the wine was great and I am very picky about wines. There a... read more

Fabulous mussels! – Arugula's food is delicious, whatever you order. The mussels are the best we've ever had, served in a tea kettle with hints of curry and cream of coconut. The ambiance is intimate, warm and energized -- really the perfect place for a luscious meal with friends.

Five stars! – My husband and I are moving to West Hartford soon, so we spent last week house hunting. We quickly found what is now our favorite restaurant, Arugula. We loved it so much we at there 3 times during the week. The food is original, high quality and delicious. It is obvious the staff is proud to work there, and they are very knowledgeable about the menu. Christiane is a fun, outgoing and very talented owner and chef. She smiles from ear to ear when talking about her restaurant and staff. I highly recommend it to a... read more

Small with great ambiance – Arugula is a small place with a nice, cozy vibe, great service, amazing food, and an excellent wine list. Their fattoush salad is hands-down the best salad I've ever had in my entire life. It's rare that you find yourself craving a salad, but the only time it's happened to me is with Arugula. They have delicious desserts, too. You can't go wrong with this place.

My Favorite Restaurant in Connecticut – I Adore Arugula. Arugula is a rare gem in the convoluted restaurant scene of West Hartford Center. On many occasions I have gone to Arugula by myself because the food is so good I would rather not talk to anyone while I let the flavors dance across my palate. My favorite dish is the appetizer of mussels in a coconut curry broth served with crisp sweet potato fries and an herbed mayonnaise. The dish is served in a giant teapot that keeps the mussels exquisitely warm while allowing you t... read more

An overall great experience! – We held a bridal shower luncheon there and it was a wonderful success! We met with Chris, the owner, beforehand to pick a menu and she handled the rest from there. We were able to enjoy the event without thinking about anything else. The food was great. The service was great. Everyone had a wonderful time! It has always been a favorite restaurant of mine, which is why I picked it for the shower. I was not disappointed!

Favorite West Hartford Resturant – Arugula is a wonderful resturant with fresh and delightful food. My husband and I love the fatoush salad and very flavorful gourmet flatbreads. The entrees for dinner a wonderful too. It is a small resturant with a layed back atmosphere. The food is great, as is the service! It is our favorite place to dine in. But I believe they are closed on Mondays.
