    What a fantastic restaurant! We were for brunch Sunday and our diverse party of 4 loved it. Food was delicious, well prepared, fresh and tasty! Service was friendly, considerate and efficient. Our 86 year old grandfather was made comfortable and service was thoughtful for his mobile limitations. We will be back!

    I was dining our with a group of my best friends for a birthday dinner. I wanted us to have a beautiful experience and it was. From Oliver's top notch professional French service and knowledge to the beautifully plated dishes the entire evening was exactly as I had hoped. The kitchen was able to accommodate one guest who wasn't able to choose from the menu and surprised us with birthday treats at the end. They really made it all about our experience. I will be back and would recommend Aiāna to those looking for a premier dining experience ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
