First time being at Aleria and we initially thought it's a snack/dessert and drinks holiday themed place. But now that we know it's a restaurant, we will be definitely skip Christmas cooking and come to Aleria for a full lunch or dinner experience next year! All the drinks and the desserts we ordered were very yummy and the service was 20 out of 10!!!!! I loved the birthday surprise!
