We had a delightful birthday celebration dinner at Aria. Our goat cheese appetizer was phenomenal, as were the main courses of sea bass and filet. Our sides of whipped potatoes and green beans were generous enough to share. The staff paced the meal very nicely so we didn’t feel rushed or kept waiting. Well done!

Wow, what an awesome experience!!! Had the seasonal tasting which was a pricey experience but an experience that cannot compare to most others. This restaurant is a quaint place with some amazing waitstaff. We must have had a rotation of at least 5 servers bringing drinks, clearing courses, setting up new courses, serving & explaining each course and simply catering to any request we had. The flow was spot on. The food was unreal & impossible for me to describe with it's complexities. Each course was unique in a way that I've never had & I've eaten at Michelin Stars in Paris. Chef & team obviously take much pride in their creativity & amazing quality. Truly 1 of my top 5 food experiences in my 68 years! Can't wait for my next visit.
