First time here and it was a fantastic experience. The owner is incredibly kind as well as the rest of the staff as well. And oh my goodness, the food was delicious. We got the wings appetizer and it was on the pricier side in my opinion, but was very tasty. Noise level is to be expected, but the space is utilized well that you can still have a sense of privacy.

We had a perfect dining experience from start to finish! Our appetizers, main course, drinks and desserts were beyond delicious! All of the flavors popped! Service was impeccable, even though the restaurant was at capacity. The atmosphere was lively at the bar and throughout the entire space, even in the newest area that recently opened. We are looking forward to our next visit!

We couldn't believe how quiet it was at Arleana's at 6:30 on a Saturday evening! We had the catfish court-bouillon, the gumbo, and the seasonal roasted squash special. The depth and balance of flavor in everything was remarkable. The okra and catfish were delightful fried. The squash was spoon-soft. Everything was great, and I think everyone else in town was missing out!

Their cajun fried chicken is amazing!!! I tried the chicken & biscuit sandwich for brunch and it was delicious. Crispy on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside, with a hint of cajun delight in every bite.
