    Love this restaurant! The chef is very creative and able to put together delicious dishes that you won't find at other area restaurants. If you're a foodie definitely give it a try!! We loved the Turkish dumplings, Italian fried risotto and mediterranean stuffed bread for appetizers. Dinner included Spicy Rigatoni and Sweet corn tortelloni, creamy local salad and grilled broccolini.

    **A Culinary Gem in Jupiter – ARA Delivers an Unforgettable Experience** During our recent visit to **ARA** in Jupiter, Florida, we were absolutely blown away by the exceptional service, the vibrant ambiance, and the thoughtfully curated menu. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and seated promptly. While the **outside dining area** exuded a **beautiful, tropical nightclub vibe**, complete with lush greenery and atmospheric lighting, the **indoor space felt more modern and sleek—perhaps a little too cold for our taste**. We agreed that **warmer lighting would enhance the ambiance inside**. Our evening was made even more memorable by our **outstanding server, Miles H.** His knowledge of the menu, attentiveness, and genuine enthusiasm for the restaurant’s offerings elevated the entire experience. He expertly guided us through the menu, making thoughtful recommendations and ensuring that every dish was presented with care. ### **Standout Dishes** - **BEET TARTARE** – This dish was an absolute masterpiece. The beets were diced finely and seasoned to perfection, mimicking the texture and presentation of a classic steak tartare. The tangy, earthy flavors were beautifully balanced with a touch of acidity, making for a refreshing and inventive appetizer. - **TURKISH DUMPLINGS** – A must-try! These delicate dumplings were stuffed with a savory filling and bathed in a luscious yogurt sauce with just the right hint of garlic. The drizzle of spiced butter added a rich depth of flavor that made each bite irresistible. - **BREAD & ZIKI** – The house-made bread was warm, pillowy, and slightly crisp on the outside, pairing wonderfully with the creamy, herbaceous tzatziki. This simple yet satisfying starter set the perfect tone for the meal. - **EGGPLANT STACK** – Layers of perfectly roasted eggplant, vibrant tomato sauce, and creamy cheese came together harmoniously in this standout dish. The textures were spot on, and the seasoning….see yelp

    There is nothing remotely healthy to eat and I’m a steak and fries w/ Caesar salad . All the meat cuts are 2000 calories. No filet or strip steak. NO SALADS of any kind. Everything had mayo or sauce. Really like eating at a dinner in good fellows. READ the menu. Crazy. Crab avocado was like eating Cole slaw. Beet salad same. Lamb, rib eye, wagyu only steaks. All 40% fat. I asked for a side of statins.

    Ara was a great find. Our server Kate was very knowledgeable about the food and it’s preparation, guiding us to the best dishes and drinks. As it was a Monday evening, bottles of wine were 1/2 off, so we indulged. The crab avocado salad was exquisite, as was the roast chicken (which I never order in restaurants) and the lamb chops. All told, we’ll be back!
