Restaurants near Ariel Dunes II - 1208 by RealJoy

Food and service was great on a busy Christmas Eve night. We had the special shrimp bisque and disappointed there was very little to no shrimp, just seemed like tomato soup. Our main dish was amazing! The chefs pasta with mushrooms, sausage and smoked Gouda sauce was wonderful, we used bread to soak up every last bite.

Don’t sit in the high top tables near the bar. We didn’t have a designated server, it was disorganized and the server seemed too rushed to give us the information about the specials etc. it was Christmas Eve and we would have appreciated a better experience.

Food and drinks were exceptional. Lamb, Riley, seafood pasta, mushroom ravioli and beet salad with salmon. Baked brie appetizer. Felt rushed by hostess clearing plates before entire party had finished eating.

It's our annual tradition to come here for our Christmas Dinner. Most definitely a 5 star restaurant. If I dug deep to find one idea in which to make the occasion even better would be a tad more Christmas decorations. But I'm just nit picking. Great establishment, great staff. See you all next year.

This was my husband's Birthday meal of choice 3 years in a row. He loves the baby-back ribs. I had the scallops and shrimp dish not on menu but I asked the server and she said it still was. It was very good but other times were excellent. Maybe a new chef but still a very nice place to celebrate or just go for a good meal. Thank you for a good time and great service. BTW the pineapple creme brulee was awesome and so pretty served inside a half of a pineapple.
