Inspired by an era of time that’s long past, the underground space built originally in 1912, naturally has a speakeasy, prohibition-era feel with its original brick walls and exposed ceiling joists.

    Our server Robert made our valentines experience even better, given we had a night reservation and he had been on the clock since 11am. Super friendly and cheerful, the food was also delicious as usual. 10/10 experience.

    Excellent Valentines Day experience . The special menu had enough choices to have something for everyone, and the food was delicious and service was excellent. The prices were elevated for the Valentine’s Day , which I do understand. Gotta make that money . I get it. Some of the prices did seem excessive though. For example , one small crabcake (maybe 3 oz) was $19. The filet mignon offering looked like a pretty modest cut , maybe (5-6 oz precook). I guess I’m just saying for $100, per person , the food was very good , but I don’t know that I would say a great ‘value’. They definitely marked up for the holiday.

    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!!!

    Mariposa at the Mint was the perfect spot to celebrate my birthday! The atmosphere was beautiful, creating a warm and inviting experience. Our server, Rebecca, was absolutely phenomenal—attentive, friendly, and eager to make our evening special. She even took pictures for us and provided excellent food and drink recommendations. Even on a quieter Tuesday evening, the service was top-notch. I can’t wait to come back and try their brunch!

    The places was noisy. Patrons should be adviced on their noise level. Otherwise the atmosphere of the place is negativelly affected. It is a restaurant not a bar. Smell of the place was akwards as well.
