    I was impressed by the views of the city but did not enjoy the food one bit. The corn bread got cold very fast and tasted plain. The rigatoni pasta was also very bland. I’d rather go to moxies and get pasta there.

    Food, service, and setting was outstanding. Celebrating an anniversary and it would be difficult to find a better place to do so. Only detractor would be that the background music was a bit loud.

    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.
