    We decided to do Valentines a day later since we had to work on actual Valentine’s Day. We booked for a 4:30 reservation (the latest they had until 8pm. Which was totally fine. We arrived at 4:20 and had our car valeted since there isn’t street parking. Walked in, were greeted right away- seated and within two minutes our server greeted us with water. He took our cocktail order then told us about their Rendezvous for Two deal, which included an appetizer, two entrees, and a dessert for $55. Our drinks arrived quickly and the app followed within a couple of minutes. We did the Pimento Cheese Dip which was great. Then I had the Shrimp and Grits and my wife did the Salmon with Creamy Quinoa. Both portions were great (so much so that I couldn’t finish all mine). We got our dessert to go since we were both stuffed from the large portions. We got the Pecan Pie and oh my goodness it was delicious. Our server was great and super helpful. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

    This was out second time visiting and we were NOT disappointed! First, commendable professionalism at the entrance and throughout service! 👏🏽 We had the fried green tomatoes and crab cakes for appetizers; my wife ordered the blackened salmon for her entree, with mac n cheese, and I tried the fish and grits. 🤤 Portions are always giving, and food was amazing!! 🤩 Music was just a bit loud and at times, hard to talk over. “However Comma” - the curated playlist gave us all the vibes, so we weren’t mad at all. 🎶 Service was absolutely on point (thank you Calissa!)! 🙏🏽 Definitely recommend! 🙌🏽

    We had an awesome dining experience at Aria. We were fortunate to secure a last minute reservation for our Valentines Day anniversary. Having read reviews we were excited about dining there. It was everything and more. Service was superb, our drinks and meals were delicious and pricing more than reasonable. Although it was very busy, we were never rushed and all courses and drinks were wonderfully paced. Thanks!!!
