    To me, it’s the best place in TO, to enjoy a memorable evening with your favourite person. Great value for the money. Everything is over the top, and the ambiance unforgettable. Spectacular view of the city, and the food, extraordinary.

    Aera is really great for the views and ambience! The service was great! However the food overall is not very tasty and the portions are quite small. The drinks were also the price of an Appetizer. Over priced!

    Had a fantastic dinner with some friends. Emily, our server, was friendly, personable and professional. The food was delicious. Shared the scallops, tartar and pork belly. Especially enjoyed the stuffed chicken breast - large portion and super tasty.

    I took my wife here to celebrate her birthday. Service was slow. The martinis were small. The corn bread was delicious but the burrata salad was mediocre. I received my pork chop that was delicious but small. My wife received her order that was incorrect. They took it away and much later brought the same wrong order. By that time I had finished my meal and my wife wasn’t enjoying the evening so we didn’t have dessert. It’s unfortunate to have that experience when the venue is so nice.
