The dessert is worth worshipping – Just ate there for the third time and had a FABulous meal. Everything on the menu is so delicious that making a choice is an anxiety-producing experience. The moules et frites are better than any I've ever had (including in Paris and Belgium!). The way Christine assembles flavors is truly inspiring and every single one of my tastebuds gives her a standing ovation. Whatever you choose for dinner, you won't be disappointed - but make sure you save room for dessert; if you leave without eating... read more

My favorite restaurant in WH! – This is my favorite restaurant in WH for a variety of reasons. First off, you HAVE to get the mushroom lasagna. Out of this world! The other menu choices offer a wide variety and are equally as tasty (but remember the mushroom lasagna is foremost - at least in my book). Great selection of wines and the ambiance is a cozy / romantic setting. This is the place if you want an amazing dinner and actually be able to hear the conversation without shouting. It's not a huge restaurant which makes it m... read more

Arugulas is amazing!! – Everything on the menu is nothing short of amazing!! The cozy atmosphere, the colors, the food, the whole experience from start to finish is mind boggling (preparation to presentation)! The chicken caesar salad is THE BEST I have ever had and the home made desserts (made by the talented chef herself) are to die for. The only bad thing about Arugulas is that at some point your dining experience ends and you have to leave........but.....the great thing is that you can come back over and over again and h... read more

Fresh, Fun and Fabulous Food – As we walked into the restaurant and surveyed what others were dining on we knew we were in for an amazing meal. We had to make some challenging decisions on what to eat and decided to begin with a salad with raspberry infused cranberries and seasoned almonds which was simply delightful. We went on to share the lamb meatballs with pine nuts and then the flat bread pizza with smoked salmon and cheese. It was an intimate dining experience, the food was very well prepared and we would definitely r... read more

Fabulous food! – I was extremely pleased with the food selection and the creativity and flavor presented. I had the filet mignon of tuna and it was ridiculously good. The tuna steak was made as I requested and the accompaniments were extraordinary. The food and wine that we had were just fabulous. However out waiter was a bit flaky and seemed to have forgotten about us a few times. For dessert we had the chocolate voodoo cake which was extremely rich and quite a healthy helping. I really enjoyed our time at Arugula and would... read more

Amazing desserts! – While visiting friends in W. Hartford, our hosts insisted we go to Arugula for their desserts. The plan (light on food to share, load up on desserts) worked well - we got 3 appetizers, 1 entree, a bottle of red wine & 4 desserts for 5 people (~$125 incl tax/tip) & we were happily stuffed! The lamb kebobs w/ pita, goat cheese, veggies was yummy, as was the salad (something. w/ "P"), but my favorite was the mussels served w/ sweet potato fries & saffron dipping sauce. I've always loved SPF w/ soy sauce, ket... read more

User review by bistrogirl – Moving to West Hartford 4 years ago, we were delighted to find this wonderful restaurant. The blend of fresh ingredients served up in the most innovative recipes has made this a special place among the host of ordinary establishments that abound. The clam chowder is the best we have had anywhere. From the exotic middle eastern fare, to the flatbreads and salads, there is something for everyone. Even the hamburger has been elevated to the status of gourmet - you'll have trouble branching out once y... read more

My Dining Experience – I ate at your restaurant this evening for the first time and I must say, I was very impressed. The food was spectacular and the promt efficient manner in which the waiter attended to us was a delight after a very difficult week. My husband and I ordered the fillet of tuna and the sea bass while our guest ordered the two bistro steaks. The window seat gave us a view of the busy street. Thank you. I would like to thank you and your staff for a wonderful dining experience. After dining at other establishm... read more
