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.

Baby I always have me a good time when I come down there. The food is always bomb, service is always great. I feel a little fancy.

I've been at this restaurant several times, but last week when I was there, we had a waitress named Nicole. I ordered a steak medium rare and it came back well done. I was just going to eat it because I didn't feel like complaining, but Nicole came over to see how our dinners , and she immediately saw that the steak was not properly cooked. She put a new order into the kitchen for the steak, and she did not charge us for the steak which was $39. Nicole gave us excellent service. I've always had a good experience at this restaurant and the food is delicious and it's a very pleasant place to have dinner.

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.
