Did not honor reservations 02/19/2008

 

 

We made a reservation a week in advance for a party of six. We arrived on time and were told that our table would not be ready for 15 to 20 minutes. There was no room for us to wait in the restaurant and we were directed (not asked) to leave the restaurant and get a drink at another establishment. I returned 25 minutes later and was told that our table had been given to another party. When I complained, the hostess called the manager from the kitchen. The manager was an older woman who angrily told me it was my fault for not being there "on time." When I pointed out that we had been on time for our original reservation and it was Arugula that wasn't ready, the manager turned on her heal and told me that there was nothing that could be done.  

Much better than average. 03/12/2007

 

 

The food was good, but the psycho Chef/Owner ruins the whole experience with her egocentric tirades. 

Our local favorite 11/04/2004

 

 

The extraordinarily knowledgeable servers make this dining experience our favorite anywhere near our home. Just to stop in for a light bite or a full meal, tastes are exquisite. The menu variety and regular items or specials always gives us something to savor. The wine list compliments the flavors and we can always find something of great value. Fresh, healthy and delicious is the underlying theme that ties all of the menu together. We love the bistro/Mediterranean flare. Very informal, comfortable, and definitely NOT pretentious. A 100% best choice and value as far as we are concerned. Everyone whom we take there comes back for more! (ask for Meaghan for our favorite in service/knowledge)

I have dined at Arugula and have been surprised with the mouthwatering treats they create. Recently, I had a family gathering we did not duplicate the selections from the menu from appetizers to deserts and shared tastes from all the selections no one at the table could find something they disliked with any of the choices. The food was awesome with the subtle flavors and unexpected combinations of ingredients. The service at Arugula was perfect in timing the courses arrivals and very friendly and attentive to our needs. If you wish to enjoy a great moment with food you cannot go wrong at Arugula.

I think Arugula has the most inventive and original menu in West Hartford. It seems like everyone else has been copying them. Where else can you get an eggplant napoleon? or those mussels served in a tea pot? I will, however, agree about the service...it hasn't been the same since the tall italian guy left. I can't comment on the wine becuase I don't drink, but my friends have always been satisfied. 

Are you people serious? 09/21/2004

 

 

With so many other creative offerings in the center, save your time and money. Extremely weak wine selection and service as well.
