Reviews for Aria in Atlanta, GA
This place has very elegant style and taste in art pieces that round out the experience. The staff was very exceptional and... welcoming. And our waiter must be a sommelier because his knowledge of wine and suggestions were spot on. As for the food, wedid the chefs tasting which we love to do anytime we get a chance. This place definitely didn’t disappoint. Everything wetried was very well prepared and flavorful. The lobster bisque was outstanding. As a matter of fact, all the first courses werewell balanced. If I had to critique and thing, I feel the pork was a tad over cooked, but definitely not dry, still juicy. Thechef dinner was great and I would love to come again to try their regular menu as well, a lot of great looking items. Read more
Seating was ridiculous, even though we had reservations. We told the hostess we werent comfortable with it, but wasn’t given... another choice as we were told there were too many large parties. As you can see below, there were many empty seats. Ruined ourdinner experience! Fortunately the waiter was fabulous. Chicken Parmesan was very bland. Absolutely will NOT be back. Read more
Truly enjoyed dinner at Aria!! Our server Betina, absolutely made our visit much more fabulous!! She was a star ???? and... incredibly personable and filled with good humor. I loved the Chilean Salmon- cooked and seasoned to perfection! Loved theambiance and relaxed, but polished, vibe in the restaurant. Our wine choice of the night, 'Cab Franc' (I recall), was sooogreat!! Easy and polite valet. Overall great birthday dinner and night! Definitely will visit again! Read more
The entire dining experience was top tier! The food was exquisite and the wine recommendations from the sommelier were... pleasantly surprising! It's Aria...enough said!...And how can I forget the focaccia!! And John is, first and foremost, anamazing human being and the best valet ever. He is extremely warm, friendly, kind, and helpful!!! The attention to detail thatliterally everyone has at Aria blows my mind, from the gentleman that seats you and makes sure you don't forget your coat andpurse ???? to the waiters, waitresses, sommeliers, valets, and to the chefs. The photos that I took do not do the food justice,but this is definitely my favorite spot in Atlanta!! Read more
We did the 7 course tasting menu for our honeymoon - and we were looking forward to the meal all trip. We saved money just to... eat here which was a mistake. It started out nice but around the 3rd or 4th course our forks and knives started tasting likecleaning supplies? Maybe hand sanitizer? It completely ruined the rest of our meal. The manager came up and apologized, but thebottom line is that we paid an insane amount of money to basically have three good courses and four that tasted like handsanitizer. They swapped the forks out but our mouths couldn’t recover from the taste *and it happened with three differentforks*. The food we did eat before the bad taste was very good, although the portions are definitely small so be aware of thatif you do the tasting courses. I am allergic to shellfish so I asked to swap the shellfish course out for a different course andthen we were charged for the “modification”, although they did take that off of our bill for not explaining there would be acharge. I wouldn’t recommend anyone to come back to this restaurant because I don’t think it was worth the money. We werepretty sad that our food tasted like cleaning supplies and especially because it was such a rare treat for us to spend moneylike this on a meal. The food was good but the overall experience is not what I would have expected for the price. Read more
We enjoyed Aria. They have great reviews so we wanted to try them out. The staff is top-notch, very accommodating. We had family... visiting from out of state and wanted to try a new restaurant I'm Atlanta with them. We all got salads to start, the beet saladwas very tasty. For dinner I had the duck breast, my husband had the halibut and my sister-n-law had the trout. All 3 wereexcellent. The desserts we also yummy. Their spin on chocolate cheese cake is amazing. The lemon pound cake & blueberryupside-down cake were also yummy. Their prices a definitely up there but worth the drive into the city. Great atmosphere, prettyloud though with a full house. Not a negative for us, just stating, if you're looking for quiet and intimate this wasn't theplace for that. Read more

Aria is a small mid/upscale restaurant. The bar area is compact with only a few seats and makes for a more intimate setting. The... food was pretty good, but not great. The steak skewers weren't seasoned, the filet mignon was better but could have beenseasoned a little more. The sides that came with it were excellent! The desert that I ordered left me underwhelmed. The lemonpound cake was really good though. Read more
