Came here for my birthday and had a reservation. There's valet parking since the lot is quite small. We didn't opt to do the tasting menu but they split the apps for us. We got a sashimi dish and a lobster dish to start which were both delectable even if you don't love fish. I got a filet minion which was delightful. They had a cute little happy birthday written in the dessert so it made me feel nice. The place is fancy and has an upscale ambiance. A bit older and traditional in my opinion

Amazing service from everyone at Aria, thank you so much for our amazing time here! We had to come visit because our friend would not stop talking about this place- and rightfully so. All the dishes were cooked perfectly and the espresso martinis were some of the best I've ever had. The best part however.. was the BUTTER. The sorghum butter served with their bread was literally just the best butter I've ever had~ Not a secret that we had to order several servings of the butter cause it was just THAT. GOOD.

2 other friends and I had dinner to celebrate my friend's birthday. The friendly server made our dinner special. Food was good to enjoy and cozy ambiance made our dinner warm and delicious.

Steak frites
Courtney E.

The best meal I've had in recent memory. I've been following this restaurant for a while since I knew I was visiting Atlanta. The parking lot is small, but somehow the valet makes it work. The restaurant is also small inside and it was loud during my visit. Luckily I couldn't make out any conversations that would've disturbed my reading. I ordered the grilled tender beef, steak frites, and caramel ice cream sandwich. The grilled tender beef was definitely tender. The BBQ sauce was lick-the-plate-clean-worthy. The steak was the better than the best steakhouses I've patronized. The true definition of tender and seasoned, it was perfectly cooked and I was tempted to dip the fries in the peppercorn sauce. I could eat that steak and sauce for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if they were healthy. Dessert was perfect as well. The caramel ice cream sandwich was more salty than sweet which was a pleasant surprise. The honeycombs were a nice touch that I loved. Plenty of crunch and texture for the palette. The staff are friendly and work very efficiently. Plates were cleared as quickly as tables were turned over for the next diners. Aria is very well organized with staff that seem to be in sync, and it has to be the best restaurant in Atlanta. I dare you to visit and prove me wrong.

Butter Braised Maine Lobster
Chey I.

Romantic atmosphere for Valentine's date night. Our lovely server Kate is attentive and pleasant. Enjoyed the complimentary baked foccacia with Olives and smoked almonds. Its a 3 course meal. I started with a glass of crowley pinot noir. Ordered the lobster and hamachi sashimi. For entrees we both got steak. new york strip steak and filet mignon. I prefer the ny steak but u also like the sauce of the filet mignon. For desserts we ordered one of each angel cake and the chocolate cake. Chocolate ice cream is too bitter cocoa, got to eat it with the whip cream on the side.

Came here solo on a Saturday night for the tasting menu. It was such a lovely evening! The dining room is gorgeous, the staff is attentive, and efficient, and the food was perfectly executed. I will definitely be back!

Beef Short Rib
Blake Z.

My girlfriend and I celebrated our anniversary at Aria, and it was amazing. We did the tasting menu ($108 each) with eight courses, and some of our favorites were the sashimi, beef short rib, and sorbet. The desserts were incredible, and they even wrote us a sweet message on the final chocolate pie. The biggest surprise of the night was the celery soup--it was way better than I expected and ended up being one of my favorites. The service was next-level--the best I've ever had. The staff was super friendly and on top of everything for the whole two hours. Little details, like folding my napkin when I went to the bathroom, really stood out. Plus, the old fashioned I had was spot-on. I highly, highly recommend.

Wonderland cocktail
Shani H.

This place had been on my list for a while so I finally decided to try it. I didn't have a reservation so I sat at the bar. David was my bartender and he was very attentive. He made great drinks, gave good entrée suggestions and was friendly. This place is a hidden gem and I look forward to coming back and trying dinner service.

We did the tasting menu, and it wasn't worth it. Sure, all the food was good. And I appreciated that it was 8 courses. But I can't say it was super filling. The big negatives: Waitress asked if we wanted more bread. Husband explicitly asked if it was an extra charge, and she clearly said no. Yet later we learned it was. Similar thing happened when we arrived. Our table wasn't ready. Rather than ask us to wait, the manager came over and invited us to join him at the bar. It seemed like a drink would be included but no. Just tell us to wait. It was weird. The tasting menu was not at all inventive. Food was good but nothing special or interesting. Dining room was very loud. If it's a dining experience at a lower price point, it'd be fine. But they're pricing themselves as a high end restaurant, and it's not.

Hands down the most wonderful food experience we have ever had. As foodies, we travel the world and experience as much culinary delight as we possibly can. One in our group was a trained chef, and we all felt the same way. The food choices were deep and everything was exquisitely prepared. Our server was a Sommelier and made the most wonderful recommendations and even whipped up a custom cocktail for one in our group. So far, Aria is the best food that Atlanta has to offer.

Dirty martini & focaccia bread
Kristen K.

Do not sleep on this place! I cannot believe I waited so long to come here! First off, the service was just impeccable. Welcomed and seated immediately and the restaurant is just such a cozy vibe. I'm a martini girlie and the dirty martini was perfect. The focaccia bread I could eat a million pieces for rreeeeal. Our server was the sweetest thing and her recommendations were on point! My fiancé and I shared the beets and yogurt app (that lemon yogurt was delish), then we had the duck and sole entrees (both incredible but the duck was my fav). We had the lemon pound cake dessert and I'm still dreaming about the crispy top of the cake and that lemon ice cream omgggg. 1000/10 recommend!

Came here earlier in the year as I read raving reviews online. They have a prefixe that looks very appealing . Although I had a nice time and the service and presentation was nice, I felt the food was lacking the same standard. Nothing wrong with the food but I felt like some things like an avocado or apple were simply placed on a dish for the aesthetic but did not fully compliment the other ingredients nor the dish as a whole. It was otherwise filling, just felt lacking. The ambience and the staff are wonderful though.

I was in town for a quick work trip and my team and I kicked things off here for dinner. I found…read morethem on Yelp a week or so before and ended up making a reservation on their website the next day. I'm so glad we listened to the other reviews and gave them a visit because our entire table of four had a lovely time. We started with drinks and I settled on a glass of wine. They had the exact type of sauvignon blanc that I wanted, which was an immediate win. As a group we settled on the whipped goat cheese and brussel sprouts for appetizers. The brussel sprouts came with bacon so I steered clear, but the others raved about them. The whipped goat cheese dip was also a nice choice with the garden veggies. Super creamy and refreshing. As for my entree I went with risotto of the week with salmon. It was absolutely delicious and I ate every bite. We had a birthday in the group so we of course had to get desserts. We shared the creme brulee and this super decadent chocolate cake. Both with fresh berries, love! The creme brulee was definitely my favorite of the two, but you can't go wrong. As for the space itself, it's beautiful. It gave off a sort of a modern farmhouse vibe with the wood and brick. With the twinkle lights and earthy touches bringing it all together. Our service was also on point. Jackson was awesome (as you can see in the other reviews) and kept the good vibes flowing all night. I would definitely come here again.

Me, my wife, and two of our friends (also married), came to The Ashford for dinner on a Wednesday…read morenot too long ago. We walked here from their home, as they are not too far at all. The Ashford is a pretty nice place to grab either brunch, lunch, or dinner! We came around 7, so we had dinner. You can sit outside or inside, the weather was really nice, but we just wanted to sit inside in the AC. I got a glass of the bieler rose, which was recommended by our server. My wife got the lavender daydreams cocktail, which was really good! We all shared the chicken spring rolls and the burrata bruschetta. Both were really good! The chicken spring rolls were in a rice paper, and not the usual wonton paper. I don't usually like the rice paper spring rolls, but these ones weren't too bad. For our main, me and my wife got the chicken schnitzel. They even split it on two different plates for us too, which was nice of them to do. It was SO GOOD. Pretty sure I inhaled mine! We also shared the mac and cheese and the mashed potatoes. The mac and cheese was soooooo good. It was a pimento mac and cheese, and had herbed breadcrumbs. Chef's kiss! The only reason this isn't getting 5 stars, is because our food took FOREVER to come out. There were some larger parties, so I do get it, but this was like 30-45 minutes forever. Also, I can't remember which dish, but one of the dishes me and my wife got was cold, so we asked to send it back to get a warmer version, which they did. They comped this off the bill, which was nice. That didn't bother me as much as the food coming out so late. Had that not been the case, I would've given this review 5 stars! The food was really really good. We would definitely still come back in the future!

My friends planned me a surprise birthday dinner here!…read more Parking: I took an uber, but they do offer valet. Looks like there was a parking garage not too far away too. Service: Service was great from the time I walked in to the time I left. The ambiance was aesthetic without being overly trendy. A very clean and nice establishment that looks modern! In fact, the manager tied the tie that went with my dress for me because I didn't know how to do it. He also ended our night with a lovely champagne toast which was the perfect touch for my birthday. Devon was also an amazing waiter. I appreciated his attention to detail and promptness throughout the whole service. Food: All of the women at the table did the prix fixe menu which was an amazing deal that they offer I believe on Fridays and Saturdays. For the 4 courses you get, it is well worth the price and honestly a great deal for a date night if you have someone you want to impress :) Everything was phenomenal. The crab cake was full of meaty crab, the lobster bisque was velvety and creamy, the ginger duck steak was cooked perfectly and though I can't remember the dessert I got, likely because I was stuffed from the other courses, I'm sure it was delicious too. The menu was plentiful with great choices and it's honestly a whole lot of food! Drinks: This is the only thing I'd say wasn't my favorite. The drink I got was just okay to me, I likely could've done without it.

Great seafood and service!…read more Let's get into it! Location and Parking Located in Chamblee, there is plenty of free parking available as it is in a shopping center.

Venue and Atmosphere The interior is sleek yet casual, with plenty of sunlight from floor to ceiling windows. Feel free to browse the selection of fresh seafood as you enter. Food and drinks I visited with friends and we shared several appetizers: oxtail gumbo, salmon bites, grilled oysters. They were all delicious and flavorful. Service Service was friendly, prompt, and efficient Verdict I'll be back!

Wow--let's talk about this dining experience…read more The oxtail gumbo? My first time trying it, and definitely not my last. Every bite was rich, comforting, and fully satisfying. Then came the salmon bites on wonton--crispy, flavorful, and such a perfect balance of texture. For the entrée, the pasta with salmon was not only delicious but a generous portion that didn't miss. And for something sweet... the bread pudding? So moist, topped with ice cream and Oreos--it was giving indulgence in the best way. But what really sealed the night for me was the coffee pairing. It took the show and brought everything together beautifully. I also loved the range of the menu--there's something for every craving. The service was excellent, and the food presentation matched the quality. Honestly had me thinking, what took me so long to dine here? Especially since I'm in this area often. Bonus: patio seating for outdoor season, plus easy access with self-parking, valet, or a parking deck.

At first there was a mix up with who was serving us do we got explained the drink menu twice. After our appetizer, we waited about 30-40 minutes for the rest of our items which took longer than we thought. They did give us some house made popcorn to keep us busy. Jahjoy pork belly: Tasty & tendor. I loved the papaya salad which left a refreshing contrast. A bit too saucy for me. Flavors were strong. Squid ink bucatini: our favorite! Must get dish - bucatini is perfectly al dente & the spicy sauce was very flavorful. Jumbo shrimp was delicious, and the anchovy on top left a nice strong flavor. Red snapper: This has some Vietnamese influences with the sauce. It was a lighter dish which was just OK for me, I would have liked the fish to have a crispier skin. Not much flavor besides the sauce which is inspired by canh chua. Wagyu flank steak: cooked to perfection and flavored well, loved the celery puree which was much tastier than we expected celery to be. Dessert was mint chocolate cake which was very tasty. I wish the cake was softer and meltier in the center but it was still good. Malt gelato was delicious. Could def taste the mintiness. Creme pat along the edges was a nice add to the cake with cacao nibs and popcorn for a textural contrast. I enjoyed it!! Overall we had a great meal and could tell the ingredients were very fresh. The presentation for all the dishes was beautiful!! We can tell the chef puts care in his food :) Appreciated the personal touch - they gave a handwritten card to my husband for his birthday!
