We didn't dine , just had coffee. The pace was super cute and charming. There is a stream that runs under the building that u can see while inside . The staff was super nice and helpful.

i cant comment on the food because we never got any. we came in as a party of 2 at 1:00 on a saturday, there were maybe 4-5 other tables in the restaurant at the time. we were sat in the back so had to turn around constantly trying to get our servers attention who said he would be right back to take our order. after 25 minutes my boyfriend went to the host station to say we were ready to put our order in, our actual server was avoiding eye contact and never came to our table, it was another server who was running around looking like she was doing all the work. she did apologize for the wait and took our order. after another 45 minutes of waiting for at the least our one appetizer, the table behind us asked their server how much longer it was going to be, after learning they hadnt even started on their appetizers we knew it was time to throw in the towel and we left. we tried multiple times to get our server’s attention however he avoided eye contact every time, in my opinion a salad, sandwich, and shrimp cocktail shouldnt take over 45 minutes to make.

This place was pointed out as one with underground water ducts that can be seen while dining. So we decided to swing by for a quick drink.
Place shares an entrance with a small art museum - museum to the left - bar to the right.
Yes, we were there on the busiest day of the year and clearly staff was overwhelmed, although i wouldn’t say that they were packed! They tried - but clearly the frustrations showed. Still - that should not reflect on the quality of the drinks or prices! First were terrible - cheapest alcohols used and second were expensive.

You can sit inside and outside. I would assume during a regular day - parking would be easy to find but on the day we visited we were lucky to park for 25$ within 10 min walk of them.

We didnt dine in and i wont speculate on the quality of the food. But based on experience - next time i am in Jim Thorpe - will eat elsewhere.

Ps - the underground tunnel can be viewed but it is in the corner and typically to see it - you would need to disturb people at tables near by

Parking: See my main review

Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly imho. Didnt see kids menu either

My wife and I came here during our trip to Jim Thorpe. The art gallery was by far the best thing about the place and the gentleman who oversaw it was very nice. The food and the service were not as great. The duck had a rotisserie chicken texture to it and the “seasonal vegetables” are just a few pieces of squash, zucchini and onions. For the price I expected more. Out waitress wasn’t very friendly and the service was poor. I guess she knew she was guaranteed 20% as the automatically add that into the bill. I’d recommend checking out the art gallery and skipping the food.

Decided to edit my review based off the owners comments. You open 12pm and we had reservations for 6:30pm. The waitress wasn’t working a double shift at that point. I never said the waitress was rude, I said she lacked customer service which is her main job. If you’re going to serve an over cooked chicken breast with very little seasoning, turmeric rice which had no flavor and a few vegetables for $28 than I suggest you get thicker skin and take the criticism better. Jim Thorpe has better restaurants that are cheaper and I suggest everyone look elsewhere unless you’d enjoy wasting your hard earned money.

We went to Cafe Arielle to celebrate our 1 year wedding anniversary..we were so disappointed. The art gallery and the man who was showing you around that was extremely nice. Now over to the resteraunt, out waitress was careless and rushed through taking our orders, had to come back again to ask what my husband ordered. Then when the food came it was extremely bland my chicken was overcooked, had no flavor whatsoever along with the rice..the best thing was the vegetables. My husband's meal was ok but the quality did not match the high price points. Our waitress overall did not care about being nice because there was a guaranteed 20% tip..she ended giving us back the bill by saying "have a good day...oh wait night" This establishment needs to focus on getting better customer service if they're going to force people to give a 20% tip.

Disappointed...heard this was "the best brunch in town". Half the items listed on the Sunday brunch menu were not available. The menu is served once a week for 3 hours...print a new menu, and update your website. The size of the Dutch oven pancake was 1 small pancake maybe 5x5 with some toppings on it (NOT the toppings listed on the menu, those weren't available). I settled for just an egg sandwich on croissant. Plain Jane, just an ordinary sandwich. Oh ?? and the bathroom doesn't have lights! That's right, only 1 small lamp that is pointed at the artwork worked. Nothing like peeing in the dark and with no toilet paper. Not worth the $$$ at all. Then had to get out of the car to move cones to get out of the parking lot. ?

We met some friends in the middle of our respective homes. This place was perfect. I enjoyed that it wasn’t buried in the town because parking is so difficult and they offer parking! The owner was very welcoming, our server was very attentive and let us enjoy our time together AND the food was great!! It was Sunday so we ordered from the brunch menu, two of us got the smoked salmon over a potato pancake and arugula. It was outstanding, the pancake was so light, perfect balance with the smoked salmon and arugula. We LOVED it! The vegetable panni (one w/egg whites one without was the other orders). Very good and accommodating with the egg white request. They have a lovely little patio area out back so we were able to bring our four legged dog, too. We will definitely be back and I highly recommend taking the walk up the hill, get the free ride up the hill that they offer every 1/2 hour and enjoy the food and visit the museum and view the artwork. It’s a one-of-a-kind place! If we lived closer I’d go there for jazz night.

Vegetarian options: Able to request modifications to your order.

Had lunch today outside on the patio. It was delicious, this is a secret gem in Jim Thorpe, could have sat there all afternoon. Also free parking!

When making our reservation we were told they would pick us up at the Y on Broadway and bring us back after our meal. We arrived at the restaurant and the owner, who drove us, said he couldn't take us back!! Horrible experience since both of us are unable to walk long distance. Will say the food was very good and our waitress was a sweetheart. Terrible management though!!

I live nearby but have never gotten here before due to my work schedule. Got out of work a bit early today and decided to go to Jim Thorpe. So glad I did! I saw they were open and stopped, had a wonderful experience. The space itself is great, very unique and inviting, they also have a lovely outdoor dining area as well. Another HUGE plus, they have a parking lot and a shuttle in case you parked all the way down the hill, if you have ever been here you know this is a rarity and appreciate it. The food was very good, and the staff was helpful with giving input and offering suggestions. I also had a very nice martini from the bar. While I waited for my meal the staff was happy to answer questions and give me a wonderful tour of the space including the gallery and where they have music events. All in all a fantastic experience all around. I will be back! Highly recommend whether you live here or are just visiting.
