Love it when a expensive, hyped restaurant lives up to the reputation. We went during restaurant week, so expected the quality to take a hit while they were feeding the hungry masses...soooo wrong! Im stingy with my 5 stars but I just could not find a thing wrong. The cauliflower soup was silky and delicate with interesting flavors, the lamb shank was so incredibly delicious and flavorful, the desserts were AMAZING- blueberry upside down cake was warm, yummy soft cake with local blueberrys and ice cream, the almond brittle cheesecake was so good!. I didn't think you could make a cheesecake interesting but they did it, so kudos! But my favorite was the scallops. They combined it with a fabulous puree, young flavorful peas, butter beans some sort of jam.... and they were cooked perfectly- nicely seared and just barely crisp on the outside. LOVED Aria, its now on my top 5 in Charlotte.
