Reviews for Aria Restaurant & Lounge
Review highlights
Based on 36 reviewsAria Restaurant & Lounge is widely appreciated for its relaxed and inviting atmosphere, making it a favored spot for both casual dining and social gatherings. Reviewers consistently praise the quality and variety of the food, particularly highlighting standout dishes like steak and unique menu options. The kitchen's reliability contrasts with occasional inconsistencies in front-of-house service, where some guests have experienced delays or inattentiveness. The ambiance is generally a strong point, enhanced by live piano performances on certain nights, though some disruptions such as loud background music or nearby construction have been noted. Overall, Aria is valued for its good food, welcoming environment, and reasonable pricing, though service improvement and minimizing distractions could enhance the guest experience further.
We have been coming here fairly regularly for the past couple years, it has a wonderful, relaxed atmosphere, we never feel rushed to leave after enjoying our meal. As with most restaurants they have suffered at times with inconsistent front of house . The kitchen has been consistent, the food has been good. The issue isn’t the quality or quantity of the food , it is that in over two years the menu has not changed, we have literally eaten the menu at least once, we have been going to other restaurants just to increase the variety. The kitchen has proven to be able to be consistent so let them flex their culinary skills and change up the menu. Not everything needs to be taken out though to keep less diehard customers than us coming back there needs to be change.
Very good food and service! the best steak I've had. nice restaurant and lounge. Great value!
Food quality is there, atmosphere can be so amazing some nights, especially with folks playing the piano. That’s a treat in itself. But last visit they had non family radio that was too loud over the speakers, and never thought to turn it off when the piano started. Then the construction work in the bar, on Valentine’s Day… of all things??? Hammering, sawing, banging around right beside the restaurant??? You got to be kidding. Very hit and miss, lots of potential there but they need to grab a clue and read the room. And where is the giant cowboy steak? Bring that back!
I came with a couple friends and we all enjoyed our meals. I had the coconut lime chicken curry which was really good! Service however wasn't good. After the waitress gave us our food we did not see her again until it was time to pay, and we had to wait awhile before she appeared. There were 4 other people in the restaurant.
This place has the best food, at a reasonable price. They offer a wide variety of options and cater to fun or family. This is a great place to get some food, the best part is the servers!
Came on a Sunday long weekend evening with my girlfriend when it was almost completely empty. Service was fast considering they only had 2 employees working. Food was very good, I had the hot wings which were very crispy and tasty and the coconut chicken bowl which I loved the sauce for. My girlfriend had the strip loin with fries, the steak was cooked wonderfully and the fries were not bad either. Prices are very fair for food quality and portion sizes. I will definitely be visiting again if I’m ever around vermillion.
