Be warned.... Would love to say I got to experience my reservation ... however, we walked in to a private party in the ENTIRE RESTAURANT... funny given the fact that I made an open table reservation and there was a whole afternoon of availability!! I understand having a private party the Saturday after Christmas but at least block the option to make a reservation. No one even greeted us!! Sad, because I was super excited to celebrate my 24th birthday there — good thing there were plenty of other good restaurants with amazing service. Will not be attempting to go back.

Beautiful restaurant with excellent menu options. The avocado toast was perfect! Great mocktails and cocktails.

A few nice touches we noticed... didn't realize downtown would be so busy, really busy, but we were greeted pretty quickly and shown to our dinner table. Seating was warm and comfy on a chilly night. The server brought water with a back up bottle, which we love. The menu was not huge, but has a nice assortment of items, small & larger plates with a small, but thoughtful wine list and a full bar. Farhaad, the manager served us and was upbeat friendly and outgoing, we could tell he has hands on experience. The food was quite good, not overly huge portions but that left room for dessert! Very good selections. We ordered decaf which came piping hot and in a good size coffee cup, great flavor. The ambiance was quite nice, old black & white movies playing on the muted tv behind the bar, nice genre of dinner music playing, nothing loud and crazy, more relaxing and current. Nice decor, mid tones to light. There's a nice looking outdoor patio as well, but it was very chilly so we stayed inside. Looking forward to returning and adding Aracely into our restaurant rotation. Pleasantly surprised!

I thoroughly enjoyed our group of 9 dinner at Aracely. It's a darling restaurant with very good food. The portions weren't huge, which was perfect for me. Fabulous cocktails and an exceptional server. I love the hidden neighborhood gem.

Great service & food. Went for dinner on a Tuesday night and had the restaurant to ourselves.

The lounge was beautiful. We ordered the ceviche. It was delicious! Looking forward to coming for breakfast and trying out the carrot cake pancakes. My friends says they are the bomb!

Lovely place with outdoor seating. Enjoyed the cocktail menu and two wines by the glass. They had a heater so we could sit outside in the early fall weather. The corn chowder was fantastic! Came with two shrimp and bread for getting the last bits. The garlic bread had good flavor, a healthy serving of bursts, and wonderful ripe tomatoes. We enjoyed the farro bowl and the green goddess salad as well. The empanada was yummy. Sliders were on nice soft rolls but were our last favorite item. Service was attentive and friendly. Outside patio area with fire pits and couches and long family style tables available would be great for a larger gathering or drinks and a chat. There are also some large format outdoor games and space for kids to have room to move. Would definitely come again!

Such a cute and stylish lounge! Great vibes, friendly staff, and really good drinks. Perfect spot to hang out - I'll definitely be back.

The food was so flavorful and delicious, paired with a gorgeous atmosphere. It was a lovely spot for a date night. Would definitely return here!
Beautiful restaurant/lounge. They should stick to being a bar. The descriptions of the food on the menu made it sound so good and drew us to want to try it. Super cute ambiance, service was adequate. The food was just not good. Underripe vegetables/fruit, the tomato had the core on it. Salad super over dressed, dry chicken. Garlic bread was literally butter with garlic powder. Just nothing about it was good. Left super disappointed that we wasted money on that meal. We don't drink so maybe the drinks are what they're know for? Anyway, don't eat here, you will be disappointed.

Came here for dinner. No one checked us in. Service is horrible took 30 minutes to get cocktails. Very unorganized so short staff. We ordered some Chardonnay they gave us the wrong bottle then the owner told the waiter to take it back. That was so like take it back and to what pour it back in the bottle? Water glasses were dirty with things floating in it. Owner she was not nice or said hello or anything. Place was not busy inside at all. We came for dinner just had appetizers and left. Would not come back at all.

The restaurant is beautifully decorated, has a cute backyard area ( although dirt for a floor) and could potentially be a great venue for a large gathering. However, I have been in the service industry for over 20 years, and have never experienced worse customer service trying to book a venue. Its been 2 months enduring long wait times to get back to me, no shows for veiwing and no follow up with pricing and a suggested menu ( regular menu kind of odd) as promised. Both event coordinator and owner seem disinterested at best. It's not because they are busy - the place is a ghost town. Only reason I tried so long is because I wanted a downtown venue. Big red flag to look elsewhere. In fairness, I did not try the food- I prefer a healthier fare

Had a delicious brunch on July 4th after the parade. Food under the new chef was excellent. You can't beat eating outside under an olive tree feeling like you're living it up in the Mediterranean.

Bad service, the female waitress was not friendly and we need to remind them several times to get out food. They also gave us the wrong menu. They gave us the dinner menu while it's lunch time. They cramp 3 of us in a small seat, and wouldn't let us to switch to a bigger table. They kept saying those seats were reserved, but no one show up by the time we left
