| - I wouldn't normally think of Aria for lunch, but my coworkers wanted to take me somewhere different for my birthday, and who am I to refuse that? I mean, it is a national holiday for me. So after some negotiation, someone suggested Aria, and I love trying new places, so I was all-in.
We got there early (around 11:30, which is the perfect time for uptown lunch, btw), and were seated at the table by the kitchen, which was actually kind of annoying (we were basically in a room with one entrance besides the entrance to the kitchen, with no room for the server to move behind our chairs). No big deal, though, and it was interesting to see the chefs at work.
The menu for lunch was pretty extensive and there were a lot of choices. They even had a lunch deal that was pretty reasonable (and included dessert!). I opted for a lamb salad with butter beans and some other delicious stuff on it, and it was awesome. I always jump at the chance to order lamb, because it's rare that I eat somewhere that has it, and I love it soooooo much (baaaaaaaaaaa). Salad was a pretty decent portion, but that doesn't mean I didn't almost lick the plate clean. A lot of the others in our group got salads of all different kinds, and they all enjoyed their lunches thoroughly (although I may be the only plate licker... lay off me, I'm starving).
I would love to try Aria out for dinner and maybe sample some wines! I'll definitely be back :)
