                                                          This was our 5th and final time here. Made a reservation 2 months out for a party of 3.. When we arrived they sat us at a 2 top window seat with an extra chair. 3 Adults jammed at this table. Absolutely ridiculous. I mentioned it to the manager and he said that was a table for 3, which was a complete BS answer. If you decide to go never make the reservation for 3! Did the tasting menu and it was average. Steak was tough and one of the apps was cold. If you only have 3 in your party, make the reservation for 4.

                                                          This was such a great hidden gem! We ordered the meatballs and they are a MUST. They were the best meatballs we've ever had. We also got the argula salad, lobster gnocchi, and ribeye. We didn't love the ribeye. Next time we'd order two pasta dishes, meatballs, and salad.

                                                          Kind of annoying they had lost my proof of purchase and had to call me back. The food was immaculate tho, especially the scallops.

                                                          Our party of 4 were seated at a small table that should have served 2 people. There wasn’t room to put the appetizers in the middle and we moved the candle to another table. A nearby table of 4 sat at a much larger table. The food didn’t have much flavor, other than the Frutti de Mare which was so spicy it overwhelmed the seafood. I order this dish frequently from other restaurants and have never had it so spicy.

                                                          The owner at Arya was the most attentive, entertaining and welcoming people I've met in the restaurant business in a long time. The food was good, the setting was hip. The table next to us was extremely loud. Without them this would have been a perfect meal.
