Great Date Spot – Aria is set apart from the rest of the downtown ciaos in the Fairmont Hotel. It has a great bar where we like to take out of town guests to entertain. The sushi is great and the service is great. This bar/restaurant is great for a intimate date night.

If you love salt this place is for you! – This restaurant is in a lovely setting. Meal started off well with fabulous bread, dipping sauces but was very mediocre after that. My husband, father and I all had very different meals--soup to steak to seafood but everything was almost inedible with so much salt. We all have different palates and, considering the outrageous prices (it is in the Fairmont after all) we were all reluctant to admit food was not very good. Eventually none of us could hide it much longer and we had all c... read more

Delicious and classy experience – Aria was a pleasant experience from beginning to end. You absolutely forget you're in a hotel restaurant. The layout of the restaurant is wonderful -- tables aren't crowded together. The service we received was fantastic, everything done in a timely manner and our water always kept refilled. The food was delicious, and the nan bread and potato dish "extras" were both delicious. I only have one caution: if you're vegetarian, there are very limited choices, and beware the pad thai "vegetarian ... read more

Travel the world in one sitting at the Fairmont Hotel's unexpectedly contemporary dining room. – The Scene Dark wood and cream-colored accents lend warmth to the modern, serpentine dining room. Convex traffic mirrors and pewter water pitchers in the shape of frogs add whimsy, while the steady techno beat keeps things lively. The Food The globetrotting menu features wildly ranging dishes, from Asian stir fry to prime rib to risotto. Hot Indian flatbreads served with flavorful spreads set the tone for the menu. Start with sear... read more

Great Bar Food – I was staying at the hotel and just wanted a light snack and some wine. Their Tuna with Avocado and candied onions is divine - I ordered 1 and then 2 more! The salmon dish has excellent flavor, but a bit too small even for a small plate. The wine list by the glass is good and the other drink lists are even more lengthy.

aria ia a hidden gem – people may not know about aria, but they will soon. After reading that Jessica Simpson ate there, I had to check it out. Try the rock shrimp and one of the million martinis. The steak is out of this world and the music is cool. Great bar for after dinner. We got plenty silly. It's definitely a great single 20-30 something crowd.

Fantastic food and Service – My party enjoyed both excellent food and service during our recent pre-theatre visit. Our waiter Hugh was helpful and personnable without being intrusive. Aria's diverse menu satisfied every taste, from steak to chow mein. Our meal came with complementary nan and 'comfort foods' platter served with our meal. The creative and delicious desserts were nothing short of architectural. The atmosphere was pleasant: spacious seating plan, great music, pleasing aesthetics. The only slightest negative was ... read more
