Elegant, reservation only dining lovely interior that is both modern yet comfortable. Exquisitely presented food with attentive and knowledgeable service. Fantastic place for special occasions. We chose the tasting menu with the wine pairing and Jeff made the evening memorable with his suggestions and information on each pairing. There is a smaller area when your first enter they accepts walk in parties. I'm not sure if they offer their fill menu there. We look forward to our next visit!

Just did Valentines Day 2026 at Aria
Cost - $426 - 2 people
This is headlined as Atlanta's “most romantic restaurant” - Based upon a couple of diners eating one another I can just about see this perspective, however the cost was ridiculous. Should have been $250 max including service. Hence the 3 stars.
I so wanted to say Aria has got the ❤ ️. I’m going to say Aria has got the nerve, and is a bit too greedy.
The Drinks
I Lemon Drop Cocktail 1 House soda - $10, 3/10 for value. I don’t drink, it’s just as well, the wine list prices and range added up is the equivalent of a small country’s GDP.
2 Tiny Oysters Amuse - yes the size was amusing. 1 Tiny Foie Gras - equally amusing, a tiny slither of Foie Gras. 1 Tiny Yellow Fin Crudo - 10/10 I Duck Breast - 3/10 - This dish just didn’t work. The flavors one would expect from a Duck with a Japanese twist just were not there. A very unpleasant, oversized portion of Japanese Radish, almost raw, spoiled the dish completely. The Pomegranate didn’t work either. 1 Fillet Mignon - 8/10 - the accompaniments were delicious, but I left hungry. Strawberry Lemon Meringue - 10/10 Chocolate Hazelnut Tart - Overbaked pastry.
Slightly over attentive service but with a sense of humor. A whopping 25% added gratuity (or forced as we say in Europe). Of course the service is going to be good!
Whilst it was 22:30, I felt an uncomfortable pressure to pay and leave.
Would I go back? Maybe, but defintely not for Valentines....

One of the best meals I've had in Atlanta of 35 years of residency here. Food and service was extraordinary!
Neil
Everything was great. Portions are larger than expected from a fine dining restaurant. Steak with pepper sauce was perfect. Pork belly, beet salad and carrots also enjoyable.
Ankit
Great tasting menu and wine pairing. Excellent service. Reasonable pricing as well. Will add to our rotation and go again.
Drew
Fantastic Food. The crudo and the foie gras were especially amazing. And the service was impeccable.

Aria will definitely be seeing me again. Everything was better than I expected and just perfect for our weekly date night. What elevated the experience was our server. My partner is a very picky eater and was able to step outside his comfort zone as we enjoyed the chefs 7 course tasting. She was patient and understanding and provided suggestions that ultimately made the night much better. 10/10 I wish I remembered her name to share my gratitude.

Incredible experience... A BEAUTIFUL place to dine. Hospitality Triple A+ Staff is gracious and accommodating.

Excellent restaurant with an appealing menu. Service was outstanding. We opted for the pate appetizer (it was enough for 4 people) and the lobster sharing plate. Followed that with the scallops and the lemon sole for the main plates. The sides and the seasoning was subtle enough not to interfere with the delicate flavor of the main plates. Our waiter was very attentive and made sure to keep the wine glasses topped off with small pours in order to retain the chill of the white wine. Aria is a pricey restaurant with an excellent wine selection so be prepared when you come. We will return.
It's been a while since I last ate at Aria, and I'm really glad I came back. The hamachi sashimi was super fresh, and the duck breast was a standout. Shoutout to floor sommelier Remy and owner Andres for putting together such a great wine list especially the Chavost Champagne, which was drinking beautifully. Service all around was fantastic, honestly some of the best hospitality in the city.

Loved it! Went for a birthday dinner and it was wonderful. Staff were VERY kind and courteous. They made excellent suggestions regarding the menu that night. The food from appetizers to salads, main courses to desserts all tasted amazing. The house made limoncello was so refreshing! It was a very relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere. Will definitely be back again.
