Elegant, reservation only dining lovely interior that is both modern yet comfortable. Exquisitely presented food with attentive and knowledgeable service. Fantastic place for special occasions. We chose the tasting menu with the wine pairing and Jeff made the evening memorable with his suggestions and information on each pairing. There is a smaller area when your first enter they accepts walk in parties. I’m not sure if they offer their fill menu there. We look forward to our next visit!

Tried the tasting menu for my birthday and loved it! The short rib and dessert were so good, and the service was incredible. They even put “Happy Birthday” on my menu and the dessert plate

The service was impeccable. There’s an elegance to returning to your favorite restaurant, especially on a special occasion.

What makes this place so special is how the chef takes the dishes you love and gives them thoughtful tweaks. It’s almost as exciting hearing someone else describe those refinements as it is savoring them yourself.
The hamachi is always pristine. The beet salad strikes that perfect balance we crave. The seared foie gras is decadent and never disappoints. The steak and frites—featuring tender filet mignon and hand-cut fries—hits that sweet spot between elevated and comforting. The sole, topped with breadcrumbs and sautéed shiitake mushrooms with a cauliflower medley, shows the chef’s restrained touch. And the poundcake with lemon yogurt is the ideal finish—bright and not overly sweet.
This version emphasizes the familiarity and reliability of the restaurant while still celebrating the chef’s subtle refinements.
Aria inspires us to return to a place that honors favorites while keeping things interesting.

Unmatched service with a lively atmosphere and top notch food and cocktails. Our first time trying Aria did not disappoint.
Knew it would be a great meal when we tried the bread. Perfectly sweet, perfectly salty, and you can’t help but spread that butta all over.
The pork belly appetizer was melt in your mouth, the lobster was lovely albeit small, but the cabbage rolls were our favorite starter for sure. Loads of flavor.
My wife loved the braised short rib which and I went with the steak frites. Gotta save some cognac peppercorn sauce for your fries.
Finished with the Grand Marnier Chocolate Cake and the Pear and Ginger Bread Pudding which were both delicious, especially paired with a glass of Madeira.
Overall great meal at an Atlanta staple!

We tried the tasting menu for my Fiancee’s birthday and it was an amazing experience. The food, especially the short rib, was the star of the show. The short rib was fork tender and delicious.
Our server was thoughtful, attentive and polite.
The atmosphere was intimate but got loud when there were a lot of large
Definitely recommend to spend your day here!

Aria is impeccable, from the service to the presentation to the food. Aria certainly lives up to its James Beard finalist designstion for hospitality.
The flavor combinations were inventive and pleasing and yet still homey and warm. Every detail was meticulously executed. I especially recommend the sole and steak. The warm cheesecake was a highlight.

The food was okay but nothing extraordinary. It feels like a mishmash of different cuisines without any particular focus. The restaurant service was abysmal. The parking attendant, Ahmed, was extremely rude to the diners, which makes no sense. The restaurant manager was notified but it went nowhere apart from some shallow apologies. Then the table wait person just disappeared after the first course. The staff from the kitchen had to serve the table. We could feel the tension among the staff members. Then there was an older lady wandering around the dining space for about five minutes and the staff members were just staring at the her without actually helping her. She was clearly confused and disoriented. And at last, be aware that the restroom latch doesn’t always lock properly. Someone walked into the restroom while my fiance was washing hands. It could have been worse. The front desk staff member said it happens there from time to time. Well then someone needs to invest a few dollars to fix the known issue. Overall, it just feels like mismanagement and staff inexperience. I would not recommend this restaurant until the management works on their services.

Aria is one of those places that feels like a private club — very if you know, you know. The bread alone deserves its own applause. Absolutely amazing.
The vibe? Upscale, intimate, effortlessly cool. Now let’s talk about our server — Mr. Kim. When I say amazing, I mean AMAZING. Funny funny (not forced), attentive, professional, and clearly in his element. He earned every single penny, and his team backed him up seamlessly. You can tell he’s a veteran — I believe he’s been there over 10 years, and it shows.
The seeds on the table were messy lol — I was genuinely upset I couldn’t eat them all without making a scene, but worth it.
Now the food… whew.
The crab cakes are to die for. I couldn’t decide on one entrée, so we did what made sense — we ordered three:
• Sea scallops – cooked beautifully
• Short ribs – rich and comforting
• Steak – perfectly done
No regrets. None.
Dessert sealed the deal. The sorbet was incredibly fresh — two scoops of passion fruit and one lemon. And the lemon cake? Clearly made in heaven by heavenly bakers with angel hands. That’s the only explanation.
Aria delivered on vibes, service, and flavor. This is a place you come back to — and quietly tell your favorite people about.

Aria used to be our family’s absolute favorite restaurant — the place we visited for every special occasion.
When we went in October last year, we noticed the usual tasting menu had changed. Some dishes were the same as before, so we ordered them, but the flavors were different.
The previous hamachi and Fuji apple carpaccio was simple yet truly delicious — one of my favorites — but this time it was quite ordinary. The salmon in the past had always been cooked to perfection and was outstanding, but this time the fish course was not very impressive either.
Our favorite focaccia has also been replaced with a seeded roll (caraway seeds?) covered generously on top. Both the flavor and texture were better before. When we visited last March, it was still the same as always…
The sautéed foie gras we ordered as an addition was absolutely delicious, so we won’t give up — we’d like to come back and give it another try.
Please consider bringing back the original focaccia
It was the best bread I’ve had at any restaurant in Atlanta.

Aria in Atlanta is a fantastic dining experience. The atmosphere is warm and elegant, with attentive service that makes you feel welcome from the start. The highlight of my visit was the pork belly starter, which was perfectly prepared with rich flavor and a tender texture that melted in every bite. The menu offers creative dishes made with care, and everything is beautifully presented. It is a wonderful spot for a special night out.
