Arabella’s Inc., has signed a lease for 338 West Central Avenue and will be opening a Bistro by year’s end. The fine dining establishment was previously located on Third St. SW and has actively been pursuing a suitable new location. Plans call for the restaurant to be open for lunch Monday - Friday and dinner Tuesday through Saturday.
The location was the original location for Tanner’s Pub. The Bistro space will incorporate more than just the bar area and there are plans for a private dining room. Renovations will begin later this week.
Welcome back Arabella’s! Fans can post their well wishes here …

Arabella’s will open a bistro in this building in the space at the extreme left of photo.

We are so happy to have Arabella’s back and to have a restaurant back in the Time Square corner! My husband and I like to support the local restaurants had are also saddened when good restaurants such as Arabella’s, Mario’s, Cafe’ Panino, and the Antiquarian leave Winter Haven.
Welcome Back!
