| - I actually almost forgot that my boyfriend and I ate here, which is probably not the best sign. This review is strictly for the lounge area, though. After seeing a show at the MGM, we walked back over to Aria for a drink and a quick bite. It was late, and neither the restaurant nor the bar area were crowded. As we weren't starving, we decided on the "pick four" from the kitchen on the lounge menu. We tried the New England lobster roll, smoked salmon, truffled macaroni and cheese, and fish tostadas. They were all pretty good, no doubt, but the bites were tiny. I mean, tiny. Maybe we underestimated how hungry we were, but I was a little disappointed.
The bartender was very pleasant. The cocktail list didn't really cater to me (tequila drinker), but once I told him what I liked he chose something off the list and made it (the Diablo, I think?). It wasn't the best drink I've ever had, but it was pretty good. I wish he had used more creative license and crafted a drink of his own using the flavors I mentioned, but that's okay too. I can't expect everyone to color outside of the lines!
I'm not sure if we would come back here as everything was just okay. Nothing was negative, but there are just too many outstanding places in Las Vegas to dine to go somewhere "okay."
