    The service was great but our food took forever to arrive which made us rush since we were given a time limit.

    I chose this restaurant to have a quick bite with family and to celebrate my birthday. It was fantastic. Melanie the server was great. The only thing was I was here too last time with my friends for a quick bute and it was her bday too last june. We were offered a free dessert for her bday. But today I dint get one. Its not a big of a deal its just inconsistent. Might not recommend to my friends again if they want to feel special for their birthday. Unlike other high end restaurants who will give out freebies or make your day a bit special.

    Slow service and waiter was no where to be found for most of the time. Good food but several dishes were cold because of slow service. Last visit was good. This visit was bleh. For the price, unacceptable.

    This is my 3rd time at Aera. The food is pretty good here. Their sushi is pretty fresh and yummy. The steak was okay. The service is not good as usual. Service has always been slow especially at the beginning when waiting to order. I was a bit surprised that we were told we couldn’t have flash photography in the dining room even though the only reason we go to aera is for the views. I did find it odd that everyone else was taking flash photography but one of the staff only told me table we weren’t allowed to.
