About this business

Set in an intimate little house away from the main drag, this is a romantic destination for discriminating diners. A full renovation of the interior has created a series of small, quiet dining rooms, tastefully adorned with small candle-lit tables. The menu features specials that rotate seasonally. Pork roast, lobster, veal, and fresh fish selections are among the classic American dishes. Full bar service and one of Buckhead's most exceptional wine selections are also available. Reservations are a must at this intimate, popu... read more

Nicely done – Popped in on a Wednesday with my usual dinner pal, although the it was a slow starter it finished nicely. The bar area's sofa aren't very comfy, but the leather wall gave her decorating ideas. They did give a menu while we waited to speed our pleasure which was a nice touch, and jazz they pipe in added a little spark to the evening. The Crab cake appeitizer was okay, not the best, and dinner was the short ribs for her, the SC Pork for me. Good again, but not the kind of food you go out in the street and stop fo... read more

Disappointed – This was my first visit to Aria and probably my last. We had reservations for a Tuesday evening and still waited in the bar for 30 minutes before we were seated. the food was OK that's best i can say. I had alaskian halibut which was prepared well, but was unforgettable. my date is vegetarian and i was so surprised to see that they do not accommodate vegetarians. The waiter asked if he wanted a steamed vegi plate ( heah) thats why we eat at a nice upscale restaurant, to eat a stemaed vegi plate! One thing that... read more

Best food in Atlanta – We had heard so much about Aria I was afraid there was no way this restaurant could live up to all the hype. However it exceeded our expectations! The room was an interesting dynamic between traditional classic architectural detailing and modern slick lighting and finishes. As an Architect, I loved it! My husband ordered the lamb and I ordered the alaskan halibut. My husbands lamb bursted with wonderful flavor. My halibut was light and fresh and wonderful. The combination of the mushrooms, snowpeas, ma... read more

Always Excellent – Aria is one of those restaurants where you always know you'll have a great dining experience. I have been there at least 30 times over the many years it has been open and not been disappointed once. I've been on dates, for business, and with friends. There is a reason that it is listed as one of Atlanta's top 10 restaurants. Because it is!

Too pricey for just adequate – My husband & I went for Valentines Day after a nice experience here last year at a work dinner. We both came away feeling unimpressed and dissappointed. The waiter was slow to greet us, then brought me white wine even though I ordered a cabernet (was he even listening?). He was flat out rude when he realized we were not ordering 3 courses, just entrees & dessert. The food was very good - my pork was wonderful but my husbands' short ribs were just OK. Dessert was wonderful; the pound cake is ama... read more

Not so great – Aria makes too many mistakes to be in this price range. Service was way too pushy and rushed. The dining room is a very bland white on white with nothing very distinctive about it, although the small bar area at the entrance was nicely designed. The food is good. Lobster on broccoli and potato puree was excellent and the foi gras was expertly made. The entrees are not as creative and you could easily get them at many other restaurants in town. Overall there are many other restaurants that I would rather spend ... read more

LOVED IT! – My husband took me here for my birthday and it was great. Although we had reservations, we still had a short wait, but that just happens in restaurants sometimes. The bar was cool and provided GREAT people watching. Our food was fabulous and the service was attentive but not hovering. A little slow on refills, but it was a busy night. It was a costly dinner, but worth it and I recommend the short ribs, they were phenomenal.

Dined here about 3 times now and I am going back this weekend. I have never had one complaint about Aria. I recommend the restaruant to anyone that I come across when conversating about dining. I have had meals at resturaunts all over Atlanta and I always come back to Aria because I know it is going to be the best. I am a young kid and I save up just to go back and dine there. I love it and so does my girlfriend. Go get the Young Jeezy album. Try the scallops, but you HAVE to try the seared tuna. Everyone needs to try this p... read more

unpretentious dining – very nice ambiance. unpretentious attentive service. good wine selection, although Spain was absent, much to my dismay. The dining room is a little loud, but not annoying. we had pan seared scallops with corn succotash, mushroom ravioli with sauteed beef, thin roasted lamb for apps. duck breast, filet mignon, and slow cooked Neiman pork in balsamic and port for mains. all were very good. very memorable was the cous cous with star anise and lemon zest. Light and fluffy. Dessert was a chocolate pot de cr... read more
