Arde's Villa

1 review

Arde’s is a really special find just outside Joplin in Redding’s Mills, MO. Joplin is a city with representatives of every middle-class restaurant chain known to man but it’s well worth a short drive out of town to this delightful fine dining restaurant in an historic Mediterranean-style bath house from the days when this part of Missouri was a resort area famous for its springs. I started with the warm spinach salad, followed by the Chilean sea bass and finished with the chocolate mint pie. All were perfectly prepared and professionally served. Yes, you will pay more than at a chain but Arde’s prices are still reasonable. (If you’re from certain parts of the country they’re a positive bargain!) Don’t miss this very special place.

Fine dining in a great atmosphere. You had better make reservations and be prepared to pay the bill. The cuisine is what you would expect in a fine dining establishment and a pleasure to return to.
