    Aera Restaurant impresses with its modern cuisine and elegant ambiance. The tasting menu shines, especially the seared scallops and tender lamb. Service is attentive, making for a refined dining experience. A must-visit for special occasions.

    We went here for my boyfriend's birthday, and while the vibe and view were incredible (10/10), the food was a huge disappointment. The taste and quality were about 4/10, definitely not worth the high price. You can find much better food elsewhere for what we paid. Portions were small, and the quality was average at best. Great for the view, but if you're after good food, this isn't the place.

    Our service was amazing. We had a great time. Our apps, burrata, caesar salad and corn bread were delicious. The lobster spaghetti and sushi were also great. Unfortunately, my branzino was burnt and I did take off the skin. Nonetheless, we had an amazing time and it was a perfect ambiance.

    The view was great, decor and ambience is fabulous, the service and food presentation were fantastic but was the food out of this world? No. The food was overpriced for small portions and definitely the wine and spirits were overpriced. It's a great date place if the mayor has a generous wallet.

    I visited Aera with my team in the early afternoon on a Friday to celebrate a win, but unfortunately, it wasn’t the best experience. The restaurant was only about 10% full, yet we waited at least 15 minutes before anyone came to our table. While the staff were lovely, they seemed new and a bit unorganized. Several items on the menu were also unavailable, and the servers couldn’t clearly explain their happy hour deals. For the price, I expected better service and a smoother experience. Overall, I wish I had chosen to spend my money elsewhere.
