"We walked in, went up to the girls behind the counter, said we had a reservation for 2 6:45. Our names were in the book, no problems since we were the only people in the restaurant we had a choice of any table we wanted, which great. The girls, Louise Amanda were so friendly, personable, eager to help us w/ deciding off the menu. The one downside was limited soda choices. Second, they did not have frog legs, bc they were out, ONLY bc they like to use the freshest ingredients the frog legs were not up to the chefs standards. For appetizer we started off w/ Arugula's clam special which was OMG delicious! Flavorful not salty. None of the food was salty, a huge in our book. So, if u like salty, this is not the place for you. The second appetizer was Tuna Tartare which was presented so beautifully. The flavors of the tuna, fruit, homemade pesto were to die for. Then came salad, which was a little too vinegary, but still delicious bc of the fresh julienned apples-which were a fantastic palate cleanser. Time for the main course-I chose the Lobster-2 lobster tails out of the shell over bucatini pasta w/ baby scallops in a delectable subtle vanilla sauce-heaven in my mouth. My husband chose Tiger Shrimp over rigatoni in a red sauce. The shrimp were big juicy. The sauce was smooth flavorful. We were full therefore did not order desert, but the deserts sure sounded good. Overall, our experience was excellent would recommend Arugula. BYOB"
