Our Story · Since 2004

Winter Haven’s table for special occasions.

For more than twenty years, Arabellas has been where Winter Haven celebrates: anniversaries, first dates, birthdays and the nights in between. Every course is prepared to order and served one at a time, desserts are finished at your table, and live piano fills the room Monday through Saturday.
