About Aria
Gray-paneled walls, a sunburst chandelier, white tablecloths and mustard drapes give the dining room a quiet, grown-up feel, and a mosaic dog sculpture keeps watch over one window table. The menu reads New American with plenty of richness: short rib, duck, pork belly, lobster bisque, lobster agnolotti and halibut, followed by a Thai lime tres leches cake with mango-ginger sorbet or a lemon pound cake. A tasting menu with wine pairing is the common splurge, and the sommelier and wine list earn repeated praise. The owner works the floor, recommending bottles and greeting birthday tables, and reviewers describe service that is elegant without being stuffy. Dinner only, Monday to Saturday from 5:30, with valet parking and OpenTable bookings. It holds a 4.6 average from almost a thousand Google reviews, although one anniversary couple described an unattended host stand and a gluten-allergy lapse.
