| - Yum yum yum!
If I had a money tree, this place would be one of my fancy-pants favorites.
We ate here back in December, right after it opened, so please forgive the tardiness - I hope nothing has changed.
Utterly fabulous food. Highlights were the flat iron steak, pintxo de chorizos, stuffed dates, gambas, pan manchego, and the valenciana paella - our waiter's recommendation, and he was right on. We also had the padron peppers, which I could have done without, but my mom loved them, and the chicken skewer and flat calamari, which were favorites of my dad. Desserts were awesome too, and together with a bottle of wine and some other drinks, we clocked in just under $300 (plus tip) for a party of three.
I love this place. If I'm on a budget (which I usually am), I'll stick with Firefly for tapas, but if we're celebrating - or someone else is footing the bill - then we're definitely coming back to Julian Serrano.
One silly note - there are apparently multiple valet drop-off points at Aria, and we chose the wrong one in proximity to the restaurant. Try to make your way to main valet at the front entrance, near registration, and you'll be in and out in a jiffy - assuming you're like me and not lucky enough to be staying at the Aria.
