I THINK I FELL IN LOVE!!!! – I took my boyfriend here for a beautiful, romantic dinner and was blown away by the kind service I recieved. A friend of mines works at Aria and suggested it as a cozy, romantic spot. Well she was right, what I love is there's always a manager present or walking around ready to answer any of your questions, or get very detailed when it comes to there many wine selection. The staff is excellent! Good Job! the Bar is magnificent, the drinks are very tasty but powerful so you might wanna be cautious... read more
Beautiful, great atmosphere, excellent service - Delish! – We dined here on a recent visit and left delighted. The atmophere is hip without the attitude, the music was lounge without the electronica, the lighting subduded and the service wonderful and unobtrusive. Contrary to some of the reviews, we loved the food - it was suprising. It's a really nice change from the many bistro and steak places in Chicago. The roasted beet salad was wonderful (the salt perfect!) and the lobster spring rolls were multi-layered and came with... read more
Nice Atmosphere with decent food – It's difficult to properly compare this restaurant to other places because of it's unique menu selection. While the food was good, there wasn't anything that really stood out. I took my friend here for a nice meal where we could chat in peace. I had spicy beef (a beef stir fry with good fresh vegetables, touches of Thai and Chinese flavors) and she had Escarole. The fish was done properly well, but a tad salty. The 3 types of potato side dishes were done fairly well, but they don't stand ou... read more
Beautiful, Relaxing, and Romantic – This is a great restaurant. I went to it with my mom and enjoyed a very relaxing time. I definetly left feeling full and happy. I had the best steak ever and all the sauces and sides were an tasty extra. Don't go if your in a hurry because they take their time preparing the dishes but it is well worth the wait! I strongly encourage everyont to go here and expierence the nirvana of delicious food in your mouths!
Perfect before the show... – My husband and I had dinner here before going to the theater and, had such a great time we almost didn't make it to the show. The food was great. Being culturely inspired there is something for everyone. They start you with this homemade nann and 4 dipping sauces, My huband had a korean inspired pork tenderloin and, I had an amazing whitefish. Plus, with your dinner you get this increadible potato bar. 3 styles of potatoes that were all to die for. Our server JJ was so cool and relaxed. He made u... read more
Nice atmosphere, Minimal wine selection – Visited the Aria Bar while staying at the Fairmont. I liked the atmosphere and would imagine that there?s plenty of people watching during the weekend. I was very disappointed in the wine selection, only 8 selections or so split b/w reds and whites, with the cheapest glass being $12. The food was subpar at best. While the miso soup was good, the beef noodle bowl was practically inedible. The broth was over-flavored and of course the veggies and noodles absorbed the unpleasant flavor.... read more
Everything was excellent – We were staying at the Fairmont (highly recommend!) and ate one evening at Aria. We were seated promptly. the restaurant had an interesting design because it's slightly curved. Overall the ambiance is very romantic and elegant. The tables are far enough away from each other to give privacy and you don't get the squished feeling like so many other restaurants have. Wow! The food was amazing. We ordered the "mushroom soup your mother never made" and it was the most incredible soup we have ever eaten.... read more
The slick spin-off of the Fairmont's adjacent Aria aims to draw hipster and foodie attention to the East Loop. – The Scene Amber and violet lighting wash the oval room. Metallic tiles play nicely with shimmering drapery. The bar to the right offers stool seating, but modish lounge configurations throughout are more inviting for cocktails. A central communal sushi bar is glass and glows blue and offers a more serious eating space for loners or couples. Techno is perhaps too aggressive, and maybe too loud, but reinforces an in... read more
Eclectic menu, nice atmosphere – Great menu...lots of Indian and Asian influences. They start you with the tastiest Naan. I also really like the ambiance and the decor of the place. Plays along with the Asian motif but is well done. A great option if you're in the mood for something other than the usual Italian, steak, etc...
