Food was ok, not great.
The fish was good but the side of potatoes were floating in fat. Portions are small, which is not necessarily a bad thing as it was not that good. Quintesential tourist trap. Avoid!

Simply the best! Everything is perfection at Aria- from service, to the view, to the incredible food. The perfect start before seeing an opera. The elegant dining room overlooks the harbor and the opera house. We did the pre- theater menu which allowed us to taste the best Aria had to offer and make our show without feeling rushed. Our martinis were the perfect start paired with bread service - artisan bread with Australia's incredible butter... and chicken butter! Amazing!! The amuse bouche was the perfect starter of foi Gras mousse and a light ceviche. My starter was the yellowfin tuna with smoked dashi broth and radish. Possibly the best tuna I've had outside of Tokyo. My partner had the Rangers beef tartare with smoked eel served in a sweet potato crust. For the main course my partner enjoyed the O'Conner fillet of beef over Jerusalem artichokes. I had the maremma duck- two ways- perfectly cooked breast and confit. Incredible!! And of course we had to get the royal blue brown butter potatoes- life changing goodness. Mains were followed by a refreshing intermezzo. Dessert was Australian cheese and a light airy caramelized banana soufflé. The entire meal was like an Aria- perfection!

For such a highly rated restaurant I was disappointed. I chose the tasting menu. One of the courses was inedible. I couldn't even cut the lamb. I told the waiter and his response was that he could take it back and have them cook it more. When paying $300 for a meal you shouldn't have to send back food to be "cooked". I would think twice before going here.

One of the best dining experiences I have ever had. Everything ( except for the pea dish which was merely good) was fabulous. From cocktails to dessert it was a meal to remember.
Be the first to ReplyWe made our reservation 5 weeks in advance.
When we arrived 10 minutes early, we were shuffled off to a bar area to await our table. The two men behind the bar never even gave us eye contact, let alone a drink. At 5 PM others began to arrive and they were whisked past us directly to their tables. When I asked what had happened to us, a man with a bun on top of his head and horn rimmed glasses (I did not get his name), ushered us to a table by a post, three rows back from windows with the views of the Opera House and Bridge, in spite of the fact that there were empty tables in the second row, and at the window. I declined the table, and he rushed off to consult with someone. When he came back, he grudgingly moved us to the second row. I asked him what the seating criteria were, and he said it was based on how early the reservation had been made. I pointed out our reservation had been made 5 weeks earlier, and that we arrived early as well. He admitted that others in the rows ahead may not have met the advance criteria.Both my wife and I were dressed appropriately for dinner and the opera. Then the man began to drill us: "What part of United States were we from?" I advised that we are Canadians. Then he started to name provinces, not satisfied until we advised that our province is Alberta. He was rude, arrogant, and had pegged us as "Americans".We asked for a wine list and made our choice: a $26 per glass Cabernet Sauvignon. When our Asian Wine Steward arrived with the bottle in hand, she just summarily poured wine directly into my glass and began to do the same with my wife's glass. I asked whether it was not appropriate to at least allow me to taste the wine to ensure that it was good, and more importantly, that I liked it. She just responded: "the wine is good -- I don't offer an advance tasting because it is by the glass". I have never encountered a more ignorant response from a wine server in all of our world travels.The food portions, while small, were very tasty in spite of some ingredients which I did not recognize. The dessert, a chocolate egg with cream inside was outstanding. This is in comparison with the food on the luxurious Regent Seven Seas Explorer from which we had just disembarked.My bottom line is that I have never been made to feel as tawdry as some of the wait staff did, being pegged as an American which seemed undesirable by this restaurant.If you are North American, I suggest you steer clear of Aria.
Be the first to ReplyWorst fine dining experience you will ever experience.
Borderline racist!We are on a family vacation visiting Sydney and obviously not caucasian. First off, I have never been to a restaurant, yet fine dining restaurant, where the staff did not say Thank You on the way out of the restaurant. When I say didn't say, I mean none of the staff. Yet I heard the staff said thank you to every other caucasian guests walking out. I dont know if it's because my family doesn't all speak english, but it does not justify the experience I had. Second, I have booked a table at Aria 3 months in advance specifically requesting the Opera House view. However, the staff told us, sorry the request is not guarantee. Therefore, we got the habour view with the sun setting right in my face. Third, the food is not that great. I will admit it is okay (on the better end for just to savory course) but the dessert was overly sweet.I also told the receptionist that it is my mom's birthday. There was nothing special and our waiter didnt even say happy birthday to my mom. Overall, this is a terrible experience, but my parents were happy that I took them just because I have been planning to take them to this restaurant for the past 3 months.In conclusion, if you want a fine dining experience in Sydney, save yourself a trip and go somewhere else
Be the first to ReplyTerrible experience.
Be prepared to spend a minimum $300 a head and be rushed through your meal. The rushed service overshadowed the view and the food. We were having desert and they repeatedly pressured us to pay the check while we were still eating. We asked to take the desert to go and were denied and shamed for asking. Can't even comment on the quality food because the staff was only focused on us leaving. When we brought this up with staff they were defensive and unapologetic. Very expensive and very disappointing- save your money and go somewhere else.

The view isn't as good as one would expect given that it is at the end of the pier because there is an overhang from the building that kind of blocks the view, but it was still nice. The Sydney Harbour Bridge was still visible.The service is extremely professional but I am sure some people would call it a bit stuffy.

Great restaurant with a great location right adjacent to the opera house. I came here on a Wednesday evening for dinner. We were properly seated at the window with a fantastic view of the water in opera House, the only downside being that there was a column blocking a portion of our view. Everything we ordered from the tasting menu was fantastic. Service was attentive. Things were well prepared, well done, which is expected at this price point. It's worth coming here on a nice vacation, but it's not so great but I would come here regularly or even more than just once.
Be the first to ReplyLocation is great along with the very attentive staff.
My wife's shrimp first dish was excellent along with her main dish, the beef filet. However, my selections were disappointing; the tooth fish is to start with pretty bland and the chef didn't add anything to enhance the taste- perhaps my palette failed to note the mild distinctions. The same can be said for the lamb, good cut but nothing added to make it stand out. The kicker was the two highly recommended deserts we ordered - both were extremely salty with no sweetness! To paraphrase the name of the retail store below the restaurant- UGG. The final topper was being charged $12.50 each for flat water. We've been to other $$$$ restaurants with expectation of fabulous food, sadly mistaken in this case.

Beautiful view of the harbor and opera house, impeccable service and a great wine list. The foie lived up to the surroundings. Started with the crab, which was beautifully presented (but don't expect a traditional crab). Second course was toothfish, very fresh and perfectly prepared. I found the duck okay but not great, presentation left something to be desired and the dish itself was okay but not great. Finished with a nice cheese plate. Overall, great experience.

We were intrigued to stop in for a glass of wine after a performance at the Opera House. I was impressed initially by the extensive display of wines, however for a simple glass I was disappointed by the limited selection. The sommelier helped us select wines in our price range and tastes, however never checked back with us on if his recommendation delivered what we were asking. My Shiraz was very nice however my spouse asked for a Sauvignon Blanc, however it had a distinctive Chardonnay color and flavor which was not at all to their liking. Apparently they only have 1 selection of Sauvignon Blanc on the menu by the glass, which was disappointing for this caliber of restaurant., especially considering it's proximity to New Zealand and even Australian vineyards. The server did not charge us for the glass and promptly tried to make it right. If you decide to stop in for just a glass of wine after a performance please note that most of the wines are premium priced and by the glass offerings are somewhat limited.

We went for lunch on a Tuesday, and followed the suggestions of the waiter. The view was good, but I'd go back if it were in a basement. The special thing here is that many places make good food, well presented. Some create unexpected and beautiful flavour combinations. This place does both, plus texture combinations that are engaging, even dramatic. If you are able to bring artful eating to an experience, with someone you love, this place will match the love and art.
Be the first to ReplyThe view was beautiful, the food and service not so hot.
We came here before a concert and had the shortened 3 course menu. We arrived before they opened, we were the first served and many people left before us. They took forever to bring our dessert and check. We were almost late to our concert. Food looked elegant and was mostly flavorful, but for the cost it didn't meet expectations. We came on the word of our hotel concierge, but it was such a disappointment.As we went out the door, the hostess went in front of me and didn't hold the door and the door swung back quickly. Thankfully, I quickly threw my hand up or it would have smacked me in the face. Laugh all you want; I share that piece as a word of caution because the door hinge is weird and dangerous.
Be the first to ReplyOutstanding restaurant near the Opera House.
We arrived for dinner and were seated at a table for two by the window with a beautiful view of the harbor and bridge.I stuck to seafood and have to say the Cobia was one of my favorite dishes I've had in a long time - very unique and delicious! The snapper was excellent, as well, but not as remarkable as the Cobia (which set a very high bar).The service was outstanding and the sommelier made excellent wine recommendations.Would highly recommend!
Be the first to ReplyWe had an exquisite meal here with some out-of-town guests.
The service was fabulous from the moment we walked in the door, and several staff members took the time to talk to us and extend their hospitality, not just the ones who were immediately serving us. We ordered from the four course meal option. Every ingredient of every dish held so much flavour and texture. Even the bread, butter, and sides were superb. Vegetarians beware, though, there were not many options on that menu.The sommelier did a great job of pairing wines to our requests. I, myself, am not a wine expert. One person in our group is, and he was very pleased with the selection.The view and location are obviously great as well. All around this was a great dining experience, and I will recommend this restaurant to other foodies.

The view is incredible, the food is amazing, but what really sets this fine dining restaurant apart from the rest is the amazing service. My boyfriend and I visited for an early dinner before the opera, and unfortunately he was feeling really sick during the meal. Our waiter was not only professional, but genuinely caring and incredibly accommodating. Top notch service.At our table we started with the swordfish and coral trout - the coral trout was the clear winner dish here, perfectly cooked and incredibly flavorful. For mains we had the filet and John Dory, both were perfection. I'd highly recommend Aria for a special night out, and would absolutely go back if I'm in town again!
