Arleana's Restaurant

"Arleana’s is one of the best brunches we’ve ever had! The food was very flavorful and portions were generous. So great to have a place in the area that does Southern and Caribbean style food very well. We tried the catfish, the crawfish boudin soul rolls, and the hushpuppies with jerk maple. We completely cleaned our plates and loved every bite. The staff is amazing and checked on us so often. The atmosphere was very bright and welcoming. There is free parking in the garage below the building for customers. We’ll definitely be back for dinner sometime."

"One of the best offerings the East Side has. We've been there for dinner, brunch, and their fixed menu on Tuesday/Thursday and have had an excellent experience every time. Really different offerings from the usual fare in the area which I'm grateful for. They are not pulling punches on their cocktails, very boozy!"

"Easily stole my Yelp heart, this might be a big statement, but I’d name this spot best find of 2023! (Probably will stay my best spot for 2024) Immediately impressed with ambiance upon walking in, immediately impressed with the live music they had, pleased that they prioritized our reservation, and over the moon about the mussels we ordered. Everything was flavorful, unique, and enticing- however if you like mussels - that for us stole the show highly recommend. The owner was out and about walking around, conversing with tables, and was beyond charming. In addition to this, we later saw a chef from the back come out to check on everyone being pleased. Amazing care and pride in the food, and it shows. The social aspect really made this a ten star experience, we are eager to return to try more, and drop in for brunch too. They check off every box that you would ever want in a restaurant, they are a good vibe, casual- yet elevated flavorful Caribbean food in a way you probably have not had before. Portions were fair, price was fair. Easily have won my husband and I over."

"Love the laid back, friendly, yet fun vibe. Service and staff were great, the warm smiles kicked away the cold weather gloomy mood. Highly recommend the curry mussels. The mussels were super fresh, juicy, and sweet, one of the bests I have had around PNW. The toast that came with the curry mussels had a slight sweetness around the toasted parts - turns out to be their special plantine butter! That slight sweet butter touch will make you asking for more to sweep up every last drop of the curry sauce. Happy to go back just for the mussels, and all to myself."
