Such a charming little place. The atmosphere makes it a great spot for a date. I will have to go back in spring and sit in the garden. Food was tasty and very fresh. I think the price was a bit high for what we got, but I'll will still go back, just as a special occasion.

This was the first time any of the four of us dined at Arielle's. We were all very pleased with our entire meal. Portions were very satisfying, and the food was delicious. We will be back.

My friend and I both appreciated the quaintness and rustic appeal of Arielle's. You cannot find many fine restaurants these days with the feel of a beautiful home while dining. The lovely woman, who I believe was the owner, lit the fireplace near our cozy table. The service was attentive and polite. The beef barley soup and bacon-wrapped scallop appetizer were perfect. Our chicken entrees were excellent. The homemade dessert menu was extensive with very interesting ice cream options. The chocolate mousse was rich and decadent, and the creme brûlée was outstanding. I highly recommend Arielle's for a special evening of fine dining.

3 out of 4 meals were not acceptable. Steak was tough, chicken cordon bleu was just a piece of ham on chicken, NO sauce. crab cakes were crispy but bland. Sea Bass was excellent. Very small portion of mashed potatoes and broccoli was hard and could not cut with a knife

Went for my birthday and it was really great! The staff was outstanding and accommodating for our wishes. Food was delicious and the ambiance was laid back and very historic. Can't wait to go back and experience the outdoor patio when the weather's nice.

Cozy restaurant with great staff. My scallops were done to perfection and my husband loved his meal as well. Definitely worth a visit.

I love this place. All the workers are super nice and the restaurant itself is cozy and always decorated for the season. We spent Valentine's dinner here and the short rib was one of the best meals I ever had period. My significant other loved the crab cakes as well. Decent prices and great drinks. We will be back soon!!

Outstanding in every area! We LOVE Arielle's in every way. Always our “go-to” for special occasions or just when we want a nice night out. The owner is so sweet, the chef is beyond compare, and the staff is friendly. Once you have experienced a dinner with them, you will want to go back again and again!
Food was good but nothing I would rush back to have. It was expensive for what you got. I ordered chicken cordon blue and unfortunately I found a hair in it. I know it happens wasn't too disgusted but for a place of this quality I would think the manager would have come out to apologize or offer to replace or comp my dinner.
Ambience was great, this was the week before Valentines Day and there were roses everywhere - and on the tables. Lightly scented candles, was nice! We had “loud people” nearby, didn't really deter/bother us, just keeping it real. Broiled scallops were not quite hot enough, Filet was ordered med rare, was served med. We had a good time, but those improvements could be made! Bon appetit!

This restaurant never fails to disappoint - there is definitely attention to every little detail. Food comes out pipping hot and delicious. Salads are big enough to share and Christine makes a mean cocktail! - It's one of our fav restaurants and we keep going back.

We saw people had great reviews, so thought we would check it out. Table for 2 on a Sat nite for 5 pm. Upon arrival, I would characterize the atmosphere as quaint and charming with a rustic vibe. We were immediately seated in the back room which was cold. 10 min in we were still waiting for service when a woman came in and lit the kerosene heater. Why did you wait until people showed up to light the heater? Kind of ruined the ambiance. Nothing like the smell of kerosene to stimulate the appetite, which lingered into the meal time. Finally, service was spotty at best. We will leave it at that. We paid $45 for a $13 bottle of Kendall Jackson wine. Prices shown in online menu on their website are not even close. Add $5 - $10 per item. Menu was slightly different than online. Waited 20 min for apps. Oyster shooters (bland, no taste) Coconut shrimp, (good, crunchy). Entrees: pork chop (tasty and tender, but very salty), crab cakes (just OK, expecting less filler for the high price). We enjoyed the shared chocolate ice cream dessert. We paid $214 with tip for 2 people. We came with high anticipation, but frankly, left a bit disappointed. For William Penn prices, I think we will just go to William Penn Inn.

Arielle's Country Inn is a must go. It may be a bit far off the beaten path for some, but the trip is worth it. The atmosphere is cozy and the French-inspired menu is delicious. All the staff are friendly and accommodating. The head chef Jacques trained under world-renowned chef George Perrier of Le Bec Fin. Had the rack of lamb on our last visit which was superb, but the halibut, breaded pork chop, braised short ribs and more are delicious as well. When you call, ask for Christine. She'll take great care of you. Ask to sit outside in the garden when the weather permits. Simply beautiful. If you are looking for something truly special in the burbs, this is it.
