My wife and I went to Aria for our 24th anniversary, and had an incredible time. The food was outstanding, the service impeccable, and a really relaxed atmosphere. We had the aged Manchego cheese, pork belly snack, a Romaine salad with burnt honey vinaigrette, Hamachi appetizer, and the duck breast and Short Rib for entrees, everything was cooked to perfection. I highly recommend Aria, and will definitely be back again.

Had the tasting menu with wine paring! Excellent melody of flavors that just melt in your mouth ?.
Went here for our anniversary. Overall the food was alright but pretty uninspiring and uninteresting for this price-point. Starting with appetizers, the pork belly was really good and I'd recomend that dish, but things started to go a little downhill afterwards. Cocktails also were pretty good although selection was a tad limited as there was more emphasis on wine here. The argula salad was downright abysmal, with practically zero flavor in the dressing. It was more or less just argula with some olive oil for $14. For main courses, the steak frites was disappointing. I've never seen steak frites served in two separate plates, rather than as a single dish, which was odd. The steak itself was nothing special. Not wet aged or a super great filer mignon, just a pretty average cut of meat that was bailed out by its sauce. We also tried the branzino which was just lacking flavor entirely. It was alright with lemon, but it otherwise tasted very bland. Most of the entree options were fish, but we noticed overall there wasn't much of a theme or flow with the menu. It kind of seemed like the menu was a random assortment where nothing really stood out. Dessert was also a little disappointing and overpriced. We tried the pannacotta which tasted like an overly sweet creamsicle and the coffee we ordered was full of grounds and lukewarm. My main complaint, however, was the piss poor service. For so-called fine dining, service should be top-notch. Our server wasn't super friendly and didn't provide much insight on the menu. I asked for wine suggestions only for him to tell us to order what we want and not provide any recommendation. With such an incredibly extensive wine list, it would've been helpful for the servers to be more helpful with making a decision. Our server also didn't mention that water was sold as a $6 bottle, which he didn't even let us keep at the table. As the final cherry on top, we had reserved our table a while in advance but had to wait a while for our table to be ready. With so many other high-end restaurants in Buckhead and the rest of Atlanta, and many cheaper and more memorable restaurants nearby, save yourself $100+ and go somewhere with more interesting food and servers who are actually fit for fine dining.

Came here for our 2nd anniversary and it was absolutely amazing! We had 8 courses and they were all amazing, especially the lobster Basque! Definitely come here for special occasions or even a nice date night. Our server was fantastic, and ver attentive, but not overbearing. My favorites were the sashimi, the lobster bisque, the pork, and the almond dessert. Also Don Cheadle was there, which is super cool!

Simply stunning. If you're going, and you like wine, go all in for the tasting menu with the wine pairing.Everything about this restaurant, the staff, the food, the experience, the everything is top class.
How do you justify a restaurant score of 88 of 100 with prices being paid? Also reservation hold for $50. They are taking advantage of Buckhead as the justification
Aria's legendary quality and service did not disappoint. Yet another in a long line of wonderful experiences at one of Atlanta's premier dining destinations.

Aria has the perfect ambiance for an unforgettable date night. With daily printed menus, they are sure to please. Tonight, we tried the sole and the trout. Everything was seasoned perfectly, coupled with sides that truly rounded out the dish. Even though I am still giving them 5 stars, I am slightly annoyed that nothing was mentioned regarding the person with a birthday (we let them know through RESY). I'm not sure what the system is, but a restaurant of that caliber should continually pay attention to the little details. Nonetheless, I give them a 9.4 out of 10. This restaurant is a standout in the Atlanta food scene.

Had a late Valentine's Day dinner and it was amazing! We both had the tasting menu and everything was delicious! The service was impeccable as the wait staff was very attentive. The ambiance of the restaurant is very nice and we even spotted Don Cheadle enjoying dinner with his wife Bridget Coulter which was a nice surprise. I highly recommend the Salmon as it was the star protein in my opinion. That said, the Braised Beef and Center Cut Pork Loin were amazing as well.

This place was amazing! Wonderful service and ambiance. Delicious food and probably one of the best desserts I have ever had in my life (apple tart). Absolutely recommend!
