My dad and I went to Arielle for their amazing lunch special: $12 for three course pre-fix. I ordered the Vegetable Soup and Penne with Chorizo and Peas, and my dad ordered the Vegetable Soup and Grilled Sardines. The sardines were whole which looked interesting, but was a bit difficult to eat, making it a try-once choice. Both of my dishes were wonderful, and the portions were perfect. For dessert, we shared both Crème brûlée and Pot de Crème. The Crème brûlée had a strong cardamom flavor, and a thicker crust than I am used to (and is not as good as by Café Tamayo), but the Pot de Crème was exquisite. For $12, this is an absolute steal.

Hint: The burger on the prix fixe is so worth it. It’s huge and delicious, and comes with a side salad and wonderful truffle fries.
