| - This place was so bad that I signed up for Yelp to save someone else from making the mistake in eating here.
I had 2 coupons for Aroma that I bought, one from Groupon the other from Restaurant.com. My husband and I wanted a nice romantic dinner out so we gave Aroma a shot. It started when we got out of the car and saw a waitress smoking outside the side door, she ignored us as we walked to the front door which was not a working door and didn't say anything till we came alone side again, she put out her smoke and said "I was going to say something" ok...but you didn't!
The hostess asked if we had reservations, the place was empty, very small and very empty so I didn't think it would a problem fitting us in. Again, it seemed like we put the staff out. With sigh she sat us in the back of the room in front of the blocked front door that we just tried to enter though.
The waitress that was just out smoking asked if we wanted anything to drink, the wine list was small and unclear. All glasses were 8$ so we ordered two house Cabernet. The wine was fine.
We went over the coupons before we ordered our dinner, the Groupon was excepted but the Restaurant.com one was not because it was a weekend. Fine.
I love gnocchi, by far my favorite pasta, if it's on the menu I am ordering it, it was, I did. My husband wasn't as sure as I was, when the waitress came to take our order she suggested the lobster ravioli which was today's special paired with steak. We asked how much and she said she didn't know the price off hand if we got it alone and not with the steak, he said its ok sounded good and ordered the ravioli alone. She asked if we wanted a salad we both said yes and she walked away, no dressing choice folks!
The below adverage bread came with butter and both tasted so bad like fish we couldn't eat it. Was it stored in the freezer with rotting fish? No olive oil on the table, nor was it offered. You get olive oil at knock off places..come on!
The salad was iceberg lettuce with a tomato slice and balsamic dressing. I was shocked at the poor quality and joked saying it was probably a 5$ salad. Joke on me, it was!
The food came out fast. The gnocchi was good, small but good. My husbands lobster ravioli was 5 pieces of cheese ravioli with a little piece of lobster ontop, oh and the price she came up with for it 28$! There wasn't fresh Parmesan either folks, the waitress came out with some in a mason jar it looked like GFS brand parmesan or something, you know the cheap kind.
No dessert, and the bill came to 75$ after coupon! We got pizza on the way home.
Save yourself the time and money.
