The service at Aria was beyond impeccable. I was completely taken care of the moment I stepped in the door until after I finished my delicious meal. I cannot say a single thing that I was disappointed in concerning the service. They were there when I needed them, and were not, when I didn't. They offered great suggestions and were pleasant at the table. Several of the staff waited on me as I had my meal. All of them were superb. I had a very nice espresso martini to start. It was very good, but I wouldn't say it was great. Then I had a wonderful bottle of Bordeaux wine and it was also extremely pleasant to drink. My food was delicious, exciting to look at, wonderful to taste, and everything I had hoped it would be. I had the leek salad and the duck entrée. I also had some of their homemade bread and it was perfect. Everything melted in my mouth. The only thing I was ever so slightly disappointed with was it was an evening meal, I was seated along the wall, and there was no tablecloth. A small thing, but it bothered me. If you prefer a tablecloth for your evening dining, when making your reservation ask not to be seated on the wall. This was my 75th birthday celebration and I would like to thank Aria for making it very nice! read more

Aria - My sorbet dessert and the bare table. - New American Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Stepping from the bright daylight of the outside world into the dark entryway took my eyes several delayed seconds to adjust, thankfully the staff called out where to watch my step across the threshold. Once I could see again, I was able to take in the modern decor - hotel chic or art gallery without the art. A quick perusal of the menu and I was left a bit disappointed since several of the items I was banking on are no longer on the menu, new chef yada yada. So we elected for the 'bread service' and cheese. The 'bread service' was a single yeast roll, to share for two. What a joke! I get it's $5 pp but at least serve two rolls. Our server said something along the lines of sharing when the 'bread service' did arrive, which we did. And then promptly ordered another roll, to share. The cheese over a fruit bread was rich and heavy and an odd choice. The favorite dish of the evening by far was the corn agnolotti and braised lobster, it was beautiful. But, the teeny tiny agnolotti were laughable. It would have been such a complete dish if it was reasonably sized stuffed pasta. The filet was tender and perfectly prepared and came with a side of giant fries. The fries being the most unexpected proportioned item of the evening. Would have prepared a couple stalks of broccolini with the filet, and maybe still a few fries. Overall, it was a nice meal, but nothing that seared into my memory like the sudden light to dark shock of entering the establishment. We were left so meh, we opted to skip dessert altogether and explore a second location for sweets. read more

I loved this spot from the moment I walked in. It's very dark in the bar area and then opens up to a lit dining room. There is quirky art thoughtfully scattered throughout the space. The staff was happy. I noticed it immediately. Our server had been there for 25 years. The food? Flawless. We started with the mango cheese. And then, the buttered lobster--silky, and perfect. The lemon sole was a firm flaky fish that sat over veggies. Delightful. It's rare to find a spot where the vibe, the service, and the food all align so effortlessly, but Aria nails it. If you're in Atlanta and want an elevated yet welcoming dining experience, this is it. read more

Very cute place with great ambience for a date night. The service of Aria is top notch! From the valet, the host, and the waiter/waitresses, everyone greets you with friendliness and they really take notice and take care of you. I also really loved their food, especially how they match all the ingredients to really enhance each other's flavor. I enjoyed everything, but strongly recommend their crab cakes and the duck! read more

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 read more

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. read more

We will never go here again! It's an upscale restaurant but not worth it. The staff and manager were unfriendly. Our waitress was adequate but not for an upscale establishment. The food was very good but the portions were very small and the bill was outrageous. We have been there three times and the experience has become worse each time. After paying $550.00, we would go elsewhere for better food,better service and less money. Never again at Aria. read more

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. read more

I can't imagine how this restaurant got so many good reviews! The prices are through the roof, which is OK if the food is also stellar. Our meal was mediocre at best. When the prices are this high,I find it offensive to charge for bread service. $5 PER PERSON for a piece of bread!? I ordered lamb chops medium well, they arrived rare. By the time they came back from the kitchen, my dining companions had finished their meals. There were items on our bill that we had not ordered, which, of course they removed once we pointed them out... but I shouldn't have to inspect the bill. Credit or credit is due- our server was extremely attentive. read more

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. read more

Great to dine again at Aria and it was phenomenal... My friends and I are big foodies and this was certainly up there with meal of the year so far! We enjoyed foie gras and cheese appetizers, then dover sole, scallops and duck for mains, and also mushrooms and broccoli as sides. A selection of incredible desserts as well! Highly recommend... ambience, service and food all excellent, and best fine dining in Atlanta! A nice break from the prevalent steak scene and also reasonable prices for the quality (especially compared to steak houses!). read more

Service was terrific. We sat in the bar. Atmosphere was lively but quiet enough to have a conversation. Meal was tasty Romaine salad with thinly sliced apples and red onion. We substituted olive oil for the vinaigrette. Painted hills short ribs were tender and flavorful. We chose truffle whipped potatoes and charred broccoli to accompany. Both were great. The lemon pound cake was worth it, particularly for the roasted plums. read more

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. read more

It's good, not great. Dishes are imbalanced in composition of ingredients and seasoning. Most things look better than they taste. Some items are swimming in sauce that should be reduced in consistency and quantity. Others could benefit from more for flavor and moisture. Salt was either way high or low. Cocktails at this price point should be excellent -- I got a lukewarm martini with a sad little olive. Service was enthusiastic if a little pushy and sporadically attentive and absent. Not in a rush to return. read more

Aria is a Buckhead fine dining restaurant featuring modern American fare. Their daily changing menus showcase great ingredients & simple preparation. It was a 2017 James Beard Foundation Semifinalist for Outstanding Service. After finally participating in one of Aria's periodic pop-ups (join their distribution list or follow them on IG for updates), I made sure to visit during Buckhead Restaurant Week. Aria is cozy and intimate. They truly maximize seating in a very quaint spot. Aria is equal parts fine dining & community. There is constant chatter from happy, well-fed patrons & everyone is treated as if they are family. I sat in the bar & received outstanding service from the staff. While Jen was the table lead, it was truly a team effort & everyone was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, & efficient The 8-course tasting menu was way too tempting to pass on. Here were the courses: Cocktail: Howitzer Yellowtail Hamachi Sashimi Ruby Red & Golden Beets Lobster Bisque Seared Salmon Tenderloin of Berkshire Pork Short Rib of Painted Hills Beef Passion Fruit Sorbet Valrhona Chocolate Cream Pie I loved the Howitzer, as the spiced pear paired well with the brandy, and everything is better w/sparkling wine. The hamachi was subtle, but you could taste the sweet, spicy, & salty notes of the accompaniments. I loved the pairing of Fuji apples & sashimi. I loved the beets. The tender ones were divine w/the tangy, smooth Meyer lemon yogurt. The crispy quinoa sprinkles elevated the dish. The lobster bisque was velvet. I wanted to take the crispy sunchokes home w/me for a snack. I felt the salmon and cauliflower mousseline lacked salt & I wanted more lemon. I loved the pork tenderloin & the mixture of the carrot puree w/the natural jus. The short rib plate was a comforting elevation of a Sunday dinner. The beef was so tender that I did not need a knife. I experienced their heavenly sorbet at the pop up. So I was delighted that it was again a meal highlight. The merengue was ethereal. The chocolate pie was good, but I was still savoring the sorbet. read more

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.

Aria - Wonderland cocktail - New American Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

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. read more

Holy cow! A near-perfect dinner at this Buckhead spot. Service - spot on. Presentation - glamorous. Ambiance - gracious. And the food? Spectacular. Reservations are a must, and ours were honored to the minute. The restaurant lives in what must have been a house at one time. Entry is on the side of the building towards the back. It's L-shaped with a bar on the left as you enter, with a few high tables adjacent. Then there's a central section with a few tables plus a back dining area. I'd estimate 30 tables in total. Sound is subdued, lights are dim. Décor is upscale and fancy without being stuffy. As you look around at the white tablecloths and the tables set just so, you know that you're in for a treat. Wear your nice duds - this is a cocktail dress and suit-with- no-tie kind of place. I was underdressed in nice jeans and a sweater. Our server, Tray, was impressive. He described his favorites on the menu so vividly that our mouths were watering just by his words. Our orders were accurate, our glasses were full, we were checked on often enough to be cared for but not so often to be an interruption. Even his innocent inquiry into a special occasion resulted in a little something extra for dessert. More on that later. THANK YOU, Tray. We started out with a pair of apps to share. A ball of exquisitely creamy burrata is served atop a trio of endives with sprigs of arugula, adorned with paper thin slices of prosciutto cotto, and sprinkled with black truffles and a dash of olive oil. The tart arugula, the salty prosciutto, the earthy truffles, the creamy sweetness of the burrata. I'm salivating just thinking about how delicious this was. We also tried the red & golden beets. Quartered red and yellow beets are served in a pool of Meyer lemon yogurt, sprinkled with arugula. The Meyer lemons make the yogurt extra tangy and the perfect foil for the firm sweetness of the beets. On to the entrees. I had duck breast. Medallions of duck are succulently prepared medium rare with a honey spice glaze. They're served over a bed of slightly crunchy steamed savoy cabbage with small cubes of apple and a small scoop of crunchy long-black rice. Visually, the plating was a piece of art. Every Single Bite was a forkful from heaven. Can you tell that I really, REALLY enjoyed this? Hands down the best duck I've ever eaten. Also tried braised pork. The succulent pork has the characteristics of an all-day simmered pot roast. The meat is fork-tender and shreds as you cut each bite. Not sure what it's braised in, but the pork is moist and very flavorful. Served on a bed of parmesan polenta, and a few stalks of charred broccoli. Another delicious choice. Around the table, others tried salmon and filet mignon. No knife needed for the perfect filet. So tender, the fork did the trick. Medium well, juicy and lean. Served over a pool of celery root puree and a pool of red wine sauce, adorned with a single onion ring and a few stalks of steamed asparagus. The fish a filet of Chilean salmon, grilled medium with a gingery glaze and served over a mélange of green beans, zucchini and fingerling potatoes. Needless to say there were no leftovers! On to dessert. We tried a trio of sorbets. Once scoop each of raspberry, passion fruit and lemon. Raspberry was my favorite - tart/sweet. Lemon was made with those Meyer lemons and super tart. Delicious. Tray arranged for our plated cheesecake to be adorned with a Happy Birthday message and a candle. A wonderful surprise which was appreciated and was sufficiently embarrassing when everyone around us noticed. The star, though, wasn't the message but the cheesecake! A 6" round 2" thick warm chocolate swirl cheesecake on a graham cracker crust is served with a dollop of freshly whipped cream and a flourish of dark chocolate sauce. It's creamy, NY-style; rich and luscious. In sum, this was one fantastic meal. I don't know that I can think of how I would have improved it. Aria is HIGHLY recommended. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Aria - New American Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

My family and I have been loyal regulars at Aria in Buckhead for over a decade, and it's no mystery why we keep coming back. Chef Klaskala's menu never fails to impress--thoughtful, modern American dishes that feel both refined and comforting, like the slow-braised meats and fresh seafood that change with the seasons. The focaccia, though, is a constant highlight--warm, perfectly seasoned, and easily some of the best in Atlanta. The whole place has this sleek, intimate charm that's evolved over the years but still feels like home to us. It's a gem my family adores, and after all this time, we're still excited for every visit. read more

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! read more

We recently had a very poor experience here. We were looking for a restaurant to celebrate my wife's milestone birthday and Aria came to mind. I called the restaurant to ask if they did anything special for birthdays, and the manager I spoke to said they offered a dessert and would customize the plate for us. Seemed like a pretty standard offer, but we had always liked the restaurant in the past, so we were more excited about celebrating at Aria than anything else. Our server was friendly and gave some nice recommendations on food and drinks. I ordered one of the drinks she recommended. However, my wife doesn't drink much and thought that the server was a little too pushy on trying to get her to order a drink throughout the night, even up until dessert. We ordered the Korean grilled tender beef and crisped berkshire pork belly appetizers and both tasted great. For entrees, we ordered the seared sea scallops and short ribs. Our server told us that there would be about 5 sea scallops on the entree, but there were only 4, and not overly jumbo as she described them. However, I liked the flavors on the dish. As for the short ribs, the ribs themselves tasted great. However, the peas and carrots tasted horrible! It legit tasted like it was served straight out of a grocery can. It did not taste fresh and had no seasoning whatsoever. Honestly, we both agreed that the dish would've been much better had they left the peas and carrots out completely. For a dish like this, I would've preferred a side like brussels sprouts, green beans, or corn. Really anything, or NOTHING at all, would've been better. It really just diminished the overall quality of the entree. I remember telling my wife before she tried it to eat the peas and carrots first, because then the dish would gradually taste better rather than trying to short ribs first, then being disappointed by the sides. For a $46 dish, this shouldn't have even been a concern. I'm still appalled that those words came out of my mouth. Even more appalled at what I tasted. The real kicker of the night was the dessert. We ordered the caramel nut cake, which tasted fine. They even added the Happy Birthday note as promised. But the issue came when we received the bill and the dessert was on it. At first I thought maybe it was a mistake. So I asked the server, and she told us that desserts are never comped. I was surprised, but I informed her of my conversation with the manager and asked if she could speak to him and see if he remembered our conversation. When she returned, she said he did remember the conversation, but that what he meant was that they would only add the note but not comp the dessert. REALLY?! I was shocked! Aside from the fact that almost every restaurant offers some kind of birthday offer, the fact that the manager himself told me, and then tried to backtrack was mind blowing. He had a chance to make things right by simply saying sorry for the misunderstanding, but we'll go ahead and comp you for it this time. But he failed to make things right. He never came to our table to apologize or discuss the possible misunderstanding, probably because he knew he made a mistake. The craziest thing was what the server told us next. She said that while they don't comp desserts, if we HADN'T ordered a dessert, she would've sent us home with a couple of cookies or something of that nature. WHAT?! Ok let that sink in for a moment. If we don't order dessert, then they would offer us something extra. So after all that, the server had another opportunity to make things right by apologizing for the misunderstanding and saying, you know what, here's the cookies anyways, and I hope you have a happy birthday. Nope! None of that. We were simply accused of being the ones who were wrong and offered no compensation whatsoever after a bill of about ~$170. Afterwards, on the drive home we both agreed that we would NOT be returning to Aria again. Very sad as this used to be a celebratory place for us where we celebrated our anniversary and milestone birthday. But the poor experience will always be our lasting memory. read more

Had a late Valentine's Day dinner and it was amazing! We both had the tasting menu and everything was delicious! The service was impeccable as the wait staff was very attentive. The ambiance of the restaurant is very nice and we even spotted Don Cheadle enjoying dinner with his wife Bridget Coulter which was a nice surprise. I highly recommend the Salmon as it was the star protein in my opinion. That said, the Braised Beef and Center Cut Pork Loin were amazing as well. read more

Aria is a true dining experience for the senses. The ambience is very romantic and intimate, perfect for a date. We visited for a date night and truly enjoyed the experience. Aria offers a tasting menu and a la carte menu. We decided to do the a la carte menu and started with the sashimi of hamachi--so fresh and flavorful with apples, jalapeños, radishes and avocado. A unique blending of flavors. We also had the aged manchego starter with bread, jelly, and walnuts. Nice and sweet. For our entrees, I had the Georgia Trout garnished with grapes and assorted vegetables and my date had the salmon and thoroughly enjoyed it. I loved the unique flavor profile of the trout entree and the fish was very well cooked. We had the coconut tart for dessert and it was incredible. The cocktails were a bit watery and not strong at all, needs some work. Loved the ambiance, food, and the service! read more

Aria has the perfect ambiance for an unforgettable date night. With daily printed menus, they are sure to please. Tonight, we tried the sole and the trout. Everything was seasoned perfectly, coupled with sides that truly rounded out the dish. Even though I am still giving them 5 stars, I am slightly annoyed that nothing was mentioned regarding the person with a birthday (we let them know through RESY). I'm not sure what the system is, but a restaurant of that caliber should continually pay attention to the little details. Nonetheless, I give them a 9.4 out of 10. This restaurant is a standout in the Atlanta food scene. read more

Outstanding is the best word. Came here trying to impress my wife on a date night (yes that's a thing). Aria did not disappoint. We started with the chickpea fritters which were very good. You'll remember we have many food issues (I have tree nut allergy, alpha gal and am diabetic - she has a gluten allergy and is dairy free..... we are a nightmare at restaurants)..... Aria handled it like the great place they say they are. I had the trout and she had the sole. The trout was cooked perfectly but I did the dish a disservice as I had them take off the almond crust (tree nuts) and that left it a bit under seasoned. Lemon and salt fixed it up. The sole was fantastic. The crust was crusty while the fish was tender. The truffle mashed potatoes were a bit strong in truffle. I had a crab cake on the side and it was very good. We finished with with the sorbet and it was the perfect tart and sweet combo. The restaurant is best described as refined. I wanted her to feel like it was a important date and she did. Thank you Aria. So, great restaurant for dates (obviously) and business or adult family meals. I would not bring preteens here (although they do have kids selections) as the ambiance isn't exactly for preteens and I believe most tables are not looking to eat next to younger kids. Just my two cents. read more

Best meal I had in 2022-3. Parked with valet as there did don't seem to be any available on-street parking. It had a dark (as in lighting), intimate atmosphere. Tables somewhat close together so can be difficult dodging the wait staff on the way to the restroom. Had the tasting menu. Yellowtail hamachi sashimi Ruby red and golden beets Chilean salmon Three cheese agnolotti Tenderloin of Berkshire pork Short rib of Painted Hills beef Passion fruit sorbet Strawberry angel cake Everything was excellent but the most memorable were the beets (and I don't even like beets), the pork, beef and the Strawberry angel cake. Outstanding! Would recommend without reservation. Actually you do need to make a reservation. Make one! I will go again read more

My husband and I recently moved to Atlanta and have been very excited to check out the local fine dining scene. After hearing some great word of mouth and seeing accolades in last media, we decided to give this Atlanta mainstay a try on Monday, 9/24 to celebrate our 5 year anniversary. Sadly, it didn't come close to living up to the hype. The space is well designed and well lit, although it could use a little background music. The staff was cordial enough, although our server was downright unpleasant at times (although we all have bad days). We both appreciated the detail of offering both white and black napkins upon being seated. It does downhill from there. We started with the lobster and black truffle burrata - both sounded amazing and we were so excited to kick the meal off right. Sadly, that was not the case. The lobster lacked any flavor and the burrata was boring and served on a bed of arugula that didn't taste fresh at all. For entrees I had the duck and my husband had the short rib, both of which were just fine. The duck felt tough and was a fatty. For dessert we shared the blueberry upside down cake with lemon ice cream, which was just fine. The ice cream was tasty. We have no problem at all spending on a great meal, but we left here hugely disappointed and sick to our stomach that this meal cost us $400. We were expecting to be WOWed, but didn't even leave satisfied. read more
