The sushi is very good here! The quality and price was great. You have to try the spicy tuna with Crispy rice!
Yummy! Beautiful restaurant with great service. Our server, Conner was wonderful and attentive. :)
The Studio will be very familiar to former patrons of Aria. Same convenient location, same vibe, same attentive service, and very similar menu. We had the usual delicious Caesar salad, nicely split into two plates for us. We tried the prime sliders, very good, but maybe not worth $22, and the mushroom terrine-yummy. We ended with the chocolate mousse, also very good! The restaurant was busy and quite loud, and the AC was set way too cold for October. Still a great option before a downtown event. We'll be back, but I hope they bring back their awesome chicken wings!
The service was impeccable, server was very attentive and pleasant, the atmosphere was inviting.
It was just okay. Flavor profiles of the food were just not my cup of tea. Didn't really enjoy the food or the cocktail. Servers were very nice
They recently rebranded. Food was really good as were the cocktails. Service was ok. Prices are a bit high: $27 for a burger and fries. But both were delish. $42 for short rib, two carrots, and a slice of potato bake.
We celebrated a birthday at Aria. Our first stop was drinks at the downstairs bar, which is really nice. Our server at Aria was happy to see we had our first round. We ordered a lot of food. Collectively, I think our favorite was the tuna appetizer. We had a great table by the window with a view of downtown. Our birthday girl felt very special!
The food was amazing!!!! I had breakfast and so did my husband! We both enjoyed everything!!!
My partner and I went for our anniversary and really enjoyed our experience. We walked around Saint Kate’s with a glass of wine appreciating the art displays, then went in to Aria for dinner. It is fancy yet comfortable, has good food and friendly staff. Definitely recommend!

Had a 6 O'clock reservation and didn't get our food til 7:30pm and my $50 steak was not medium rare and really salty. Definitely service has plummeted.

First time having dinner here. From making the reservation to paying for our meal was all top notch! The lady when we called that took our reservation was very pleasant on the phone, when we checked in she was also the one that took our reservation, best of all when we left she acknowledged me by name, small detail but huge impact. As for the food and service, our waitress was Ashlyn, she was also very pleasant. Service was great, timing between courses was on point. Again small detail but so many restaurants ignore this, it's not great getting your appetizer and then 5 minutes later getting your meal. She nailed the timing. Food we have sourdough bread basket, baked goat cheese, California roll, short rib, crispy salmon. Dessert was bread pudding and chocolate moose. There was not a bad thing, it was all fantastic from presentation to taste. The baked goat cheese was a stand out if I had to pick one. I don't frequent the same restaurant often as I love trying new places but this makes my top few for repeats and high recommendations to others. Praise to the chefs as well!
Wow! We went on a whim and stopped by ARIA for breakfast with my husband’s family. We ordered plain french toasts, shrimp and grits, and chicken & waffles. Nita was our lovely server. The Creole shrimp and grits were rich, comforting, and full of bold flavor. Tender shrimp sat atop a bed of creamy, perfectly cooked grits, topped with sautéed onions and tomatoes that added a savory depth. The cherry tomatoes were cooked just right—bursting with sweetness and adding a fresh contrast. Everything was brought together with a silky sauce that tasted like a buttery chicken broth, giving the dish a warm, hearty finish. It was the kind of meal that hits every note—savory, slightly sweet, and satisfyingly indulgent. I tried my husband’s chicken and waffles. chicken and waffles hit all the right notes—crispy, juicy, and indulgent. The chicken was golden and crunchy on the outside, yet tender and well-seasoned inside, with just the right amount of spice. The waffle was soft and fluffy with a slight crisp on the edges, making it the perfect base. A drizzle of syrup tied it all together with a sweet-savory balance that’s hard to beat. It’s classic comfort food done right, and definitely worth coming back for. Overall, great experience.
In the past, my dining partners and I have always had a wonderful experience at Aria. Last night, however, everything seemed really REALLY off. We had a 6pm reservation and ordered drinks and appetizers immediately. It took 30 minutes for our drinks to arrive. The appetizers were just ok. When dinner arrived, the salmon on my salad was not thoroughly cooked (raw) and it took 10 minutes to locate our server to send it back. She was very apologetic but it then took another 15 minutes for a replacement to arrive at the table!! Ridiculous. When we completed our dinners, it was almost 30 minutes for our server to reappear and clear plates. We had hoped to enjoy a coffee and dessert before heading to our show but there was no time. Overall - a very disappointing experience. Service was slow and inattentive; Food was “meh”. I won’t be returning nor will I recommend.
Fantastic experience. The food was great and our service was excellent. The new sushi appetizers were a fan favorite.
