    The cocktails are not good lol very sweet and miss the mark on the balance. The dishes are also sub par, not worth the value. Just my honest opinion.

    We recently celebrated my partner’s birthday at Aera, and the experience couldn’t have been better. Watching the sunset over the Toronto skyline and the city lights come alive made the evening feel magical. The service was flawless, attentive, and perfectly timed, allowing us to enjoy each course without feeling rushed. From the incredible views to the thoughtful service, every detail contributed to a truly special night. Aera is an ideal choice for a memorable celebration.

    I had high hopes for Aera, but my experience was incredibly disappointing. The service was abysmal from the start. We waited ages to even have someone ask our order for drinks, and when our server finally arrived, they seemed rushed and uninterested. It took forever to get our drinks, and then our food arrived with several mistakes in our order. They couldn't even remember who drank still or sparkling water when there was only 6 of us. As for the food, I can't say it was worth the price tag. I ordered a small seafood plate for $30, and honestly, it felt like a rip-off. The portion was tiny, and while the seafood was fresh, it lacked flavor and creativity. I also tried the sushi, which came in a set of just two pieces for $13. They weren’t even well-prepared—just bland and forgettable. Ive ate better sushi at all you can eat places. For the quality of food and the lack of service, I left feeling cheated. It’s frustrating to spend so much money on what turned out to be mediocre dishes and terrible service. I definitely won’t be returning to Aera for dinning ever again.
