    Perfect lunch steak!
    Deke M.

    Great luxe steakhouse. Nice fine dining experience--even at lunch on the bar side. Cloth napkins, perfectly cooked steak. Servers know their menu. Elegantly appointed. I have only been once but can't wait to return!

    Martini flight

    The ambiance was upscale and classy, though the one TV felt a bit out of place. It was frozen for the first hour or so, and then switched to sports--didn't seem to match the vibe. Food & Bev: The martini flight was a delight! The orange chocolate was my favorite and the maple bourbon was my husband's. We tried the deviled egg flight, avocado toast, and the lox flatbread. The deviled eggs were creative and have the potential to be amazing, but the filling was so salty it became a turnoff. The avocado toast was good, but unfortunately it was also overly salty. On the bright side, the potatoes served with the toast were absolute perfection. The lox flatbread was unique and easily the best of the three dishes--still slightly salty, but much more enjoyable overall. We eat out often and are no strangers to well-seasoned dishes, but this level of salt was disappointing. I'm hoping the kitchen was just having an off day. We'll likely go back and give it one more try.

    Lobster soup

    We went for a birthday dinner and it was amazing! I didn't get any pictures of the appetizers but we did the pork belly and coconut shrimp! For dinner we did the special and then also the bone in rib eye. My favorite thing was the lobster soup! Service was amazing and helped us with all our questions.

    From the moment we walked in until the very end the service was great. The hostess was very nice and all of the servers and other staff did a great job. Michael was our main server. Everything we tried was wonderful, we all got the filet and they were cooked perfectly. I really enjoyed the brussel sprouts. They were so good. I can't say it's a place I would go to all the time but it would be really nice for special occasions. There was a bar which was separated from the restaurant area and made the atmosphere comfortable and relaxed. I do want to try the bar next to compare experiences.

    Snails Black & Blue
    Nick M.

    My wife and I visited Aria after learning about it from a local Winter Haven foodie social media page. Essentially stating that a higher end steakhouse was opening in the area and that it seemed to promise better quality and experience than many other local offerings. I will say that the price to portion ratio was very good but the service and friendliness of the staff left something to be desired. Upon entering a building with no signage whatsoever, we were informed that there were two different entrances. One for dinner for guests that had reservations and another for the first come first serve bar area. They asked us to exit the door we had come in and walk next door to the next entrance for the bar when a server walked up and stated that they had a large adjoining door and they would be happy to walk us through as it was raining outside. I asked the waitress that we were transferred to for a table as we planned to order quite a few options to get a scope of the menu and see what they had to offer however she said that we needed to sit at the bar. We ordered drinks to start with, a Manhattan and what I believe was The Elixir. We began ordering from the bar menu as that was the menu we were provided and told that we needed to order from as we did not have reservations. After ordering and receiving our food from the bar menu we were then approached with a dinner menu for the restaurant and I was befuddled with the confusion. We ordered the Snails Black & Blue, the Calamari, the Ahi Tuna Tostadas, the Mac & Cheese, the Truffle Fries, and the Tenderloin Bites. Our line of plates spanned three bar seats and we were looked at as if we were trashy individuals. The Escargot (Snails) were delicious, the sauce was creamy and packed with flavor. The Ahi Tuna Tostadas were well decorated with cubed chunks of tuna and thinly sliced avocado. The calamari was mediocre, the breading didn't adhere to the squid and continued falling off upon plate to mouth transportation however, the Squid Ink Aioli was divine. The Mac & Cheese was on par with general expectations. The Truffle Fries, phenomenal. I paired them with the squid ink aioli and it made for a delicious combination. The tenderloin bites were a little tough but had good seasoning. As this was only the third week of being open I look forward to revisiting for dinner (reservations can be called in apparently) and giving it another opportunity to be called a gem of Winter Haven. 3.5-4 stars as I believe with a little refinement this could be a great restaurant.

    Aria is probably the best steakhouse in Polk County. We have enjoyed a very nice family gathering there and plan to return.

Service was... okay. A bit on the "too relaxed" side, which almost came across as unfriendly. To be fair, I was already in a mood from something personal before I walked in, so maybe that energy carried over, but still worth noting. Food-wise, it was decent--nothing mind-blowing, but good enough that I'd definitely come back when in the area. The loco moco burger was basically an ordinary burger, though the gravy added an interesting twist. Not sure I'd reorder it. I really enjoyed the French toast--the grilled pineapple on top was disappointingly dry, but the syrup helped and overall I'd get that again. The millionaire bacon sounded much more exciting on the menu than it tasted--pretty basic in execution. What I do love is how creative their menu reads; it makes you want to try everything. That's why I feel like I need to come back and sample more dishes to really get the full experience. Cute spot, decent food, and definitely worth a return visit to explore more of their offerings.

And there are plenty of tables to sit. I think there were some ladies playing the Chinese domino game, it starts with an "m". Got to meet the owner Ray and he picked out a fantastic Cab for me, it was the Story Storypoint Cab out of California. Later I also had the Martin Ray and in my opinion it was not as good, but it was a heavier mouth feel and it had layers to it. They have a piano player Wednesday and Saturday. He shows up around 6pm. So they have free slasa and chips in the back corner most nights. On Tuesday the have tacos. And Tuesday there are meatballs. On Friday they have Karaoke around 7. If you like wine, or you are an enthusiast, this would be a great place to visit if you find yourself in Winter Haven Florida. They have buy one glass 2nd half price. If you buy a bottle and stay, it is a $15 corkage fee. We kind of did the math and depending on the pour, and their pours are generous, it is cheaper to buy by the glass. When you visit they your own math gymnastics. Bottom line, Grape Expectations, the wine is great. The service is exceptionally better. And if you like a mellow vibe with great wine. You won't be disappointed in this stop. Finally, shout out to Terra, between her and Ray we had such a great time. CAN'T WAIT TO COME BACK!
