Dined on Feb 8, 2025

Overall, the afternoon tea experience was enjoyable, but there were a few minor issues that affected the experience. The ambiance was pleasant, though the noise from a staff member pushing a heavy-duty floor cleaner across the dining room during tea service was distracting. That said, the service by Paul stood out as exceptional—attentive, professional, and engaging, adding a positive touch to the experience. The food was a highlight, with the sandwiches and desserts being particularly delightful. However, the mention of "warm raisin and plain scones from our bakery" in the menu was a bit misleading, as only one scone (a raisin one) was provided. In situations like this, it would be better for the establishment to substitute with another scone to keep the promise of two. When I asked the server, if the tea should have two scones, as the menu wording seems to indicate two scones with the afternoon tea. They indicated “no, it is only one scone.” The wording should be adjusted to "warm raisin OR plain scone" instead of "AND," which would avoid confusion. Why ask when making the reservation through “Open Table” about the reason for the booking (ie. birthday or anniversary) if the occasion is not acknowledged. It was indicated on my reservation it was my sister’s birthday. A slightly broader tea selection would have been appreciated, but considering the price point, I would still recommend this afternoon tea. It offered good value for money despite the minor hiccups.

Bardo consistency delivers A+ marks in every category. Sitting at the bar we’ve come to know our server/bartender and will stick to her for our guest experiences everytime. For years they have maintained a amazing, clean, friendly atmosphere with food that is ever-so satisfying, and does not leave you feeling greasy, queasy, or overall gross like a lot of franchise resto’s do. A MUST try in Guelph. Patio is also amazing. And DO NOT forget some take home ice cream. Worth its value.

We decided to use Winterlicious to try out Aera. First of all the view is amongst the best in North America , overlooking the city with the CN tower and lakes in full view. Truly breathtaking. Our server was highly attentive. We both started with the Beet and Goats Cheese salad which was beautifully presented and bursting with flavour. My wife had the Salmon Pone Bowl with Edamame, Avocado, Quinoa flavoured with ginger and a delicious sauce. I had the Pork Loin Schnitzel with some of the best roasted potatoes I have ever eaten. The star of the meal however was the Sticky Toffee Pudding which came with praline encrusted ice cream, it scored 20 out of 10. From this first experience we have decided to celebrate our anniversary this year with dinner and some nice wine at Aera and to enjoy the full menu experience. I have had the luck through my career to have eaten at many of the worlds finest restaurants, I do not exaggerate when I say I would place Aera in my top 10 for ambience and quality.
