ARIA – The Restaurant at Saint Kate

Great food, great atmosphere, loved it.

We had such an amazing time and experience on our night out at Aria. All the staff was exceptional, especially Hannah. She made sure to stop over at our table and wish my husband a happy birthday and even brought over some desert. Such a memorable time.

The service was exceptional. Mara was very attentive and patient. We have been here several times and there was never any issues with the service!! However we did have to send our food back due to the quality. Apparently since the new rebrand to Aria the food has changed. The grits are too spicy and totally different from the previous times. Let’s just say the sauce is totally different. The chicken and waffle is not the same. No more biscuits and gravy ?. I would consider coming back again if the menu is changed back or something else. The service and atmosphere is amazing. Love the mimosas are unlimited.

We had the best meal and service here!!! The scallops with gnocchi and parsnips were amazing. I am still thinking about it. I have a garlic allergy and Chef was so accommodating. Highly recommend!

I had a great breakfast with my family at ARIA this past weekend. Everything about this was great from start to finish. When we arrived the restaurant was bright and alive with great music playing. Our waiter Ruben made some excellent suggestions. (Thanks Ruben, the bloody mary was fantastic!). Then the food came; I had grits with shrimp, it did not disappoint, it was delicious. The others at our table we also very happy with their meals. Food. service, atmosphere all blended in to make our breakfast a special one. Thank you ARIA!

We had the most delicious devilled eggs I've ever had! After that, my husband had the sea bass and I had the scallops. Both entrees were beautifully presented, delicious and you could taste all the fresh ingredients.

This was our first time at Aria. Service was wonderful and both of our meals were delicious! We would definitely come back to try more on their menu.

The Saint Kate Hotel is great. Our server at Aria was terrific. But the food, at least what we ordered, went from ok to really awful. We started with an unusual, original appetizer ("Peas and Carrots"), followed by a mediocre Caesar Salad, but then a filet ordered medium rare that was raw (not even rare, raw). But the real problem was a dish called "Pappardelle Beef Stroganoff" that arrived as a bowl of completely dry pappardelle without even a drop of sauce (beef stroganoff without any sauce!): it had about a dozen pieces of tiny (size of a pinky fingernail) cubes of grey meat (it was easy to see that the meat was grey because there was no sauce covering it) that we could barely puncture with a fork (very tough), a few slices of mushrooms, and then a huge ice cream scoop of sour cream on top of the dish. I don't understand how this left the kitchen. Our waiter was wonderful, and he tried to give a reason for this (something about different chefs making the dish on different nights), but this was a really horrible dish and not only did it not resemble beef stroganoff at all, it was actually inedible. And the scoop of sour cream on top was like a hilarious after-thought: "oh, wait, beef stroganoff has sour cream in it, doesn't it? Let's just put a ton of it on top of the dry noodles!" Really disappointing.

I hate to leave negative reviews but in this case I feel obligated. My family and I had one of our worst dining experiences in a long time at this restaurant. The food was plain bad. Much of it was over seasoned. A medium steak came out well done. even the deviled egg appetizer was rubbery and not good. The servers were nice, but everything was also extremely slow. Then you add onto it the price tag and it was just truly unacceptable.

Very enjoyable Sunday dinner. Beautifully prepared dishes that taste excellent. Not edgy or challenging. Just as complex as delicious needs to be. The ambiance is beautiful, matching the theme of the hotel. I had the Salmon, which was excellent. The house salad was sweet, delicious and presented beautifully. The deviled eggs were superb. My girlfriend had the Signature Chicken (recommended). The service was polite and thoughtful.

I came for dinner during Downtown Dining Week. The 3 course prefixe menu was outstanding! The ARIA Signature Chicken is probably the best chicken I've ever had. The Vodka Soda cocktail was light, bright, and incredibly refreshing. My server Nicole was friendly, knowledgeable, and really made the evening great. As a solo diner, it can be uncomfortable, but Nicole treated me like a friend and made me feel completely comfortable. Obviously the atmosphere is incredible with beautiful art and decor throughout the whole space. Valet is also incredibly easy. You can use the public parking garage connected but that garage gives me claustrophobia. The price for valet was the same as the garage so it's a no-brainer for me.

30 minutes from sit down to first drink. Sat down and waited for a server for 15 minutes before being greeted.
The steaks were really not good at all. Ordered the filet and NY Strip both medium rare. One came out rare as can be and other came out well. And the cuts were not good for a $65 steak. I will not come back snd eat here.
The chicken dumpling soup was fire, that’s the best I can do.

Food was very good, server recommended chicken and sea bass and we enjoyed both. Cocktails were excellent! Service was very, very slow. 20+minutes just to place our order and longer than that when we asked for our bill. The restaurant is beautiful and they have several window seats available.

The entire experience was fantastic.
Food was delicious. Ambience was on point, service was excellent and the Saint Kate itself is an entire VIBE.
