    The food was average at best, and the ambience left much to be desired. However, the service was excellent.

    I have been coming to Ariel for a long time now sometimes for a dinner with my boyfriend, sometimes for a family dinner or lunch and is always my first choice for dinner with a girlfriend. I’ve always been impressed with the food, service and ambiance, however the last 3 times I’ve been the food hasn’t been good. First bad meal I thought it’s probably a one off, but since the subsequent two meals haven’t been good I feel I don’t want to return. I’m hoping the food will improve back to its original great standard.
