Aria is a nice restaurant. An aesthetically pleasing, well designed space. If it didn't have good food and service to back it up, I wouldn't care about the aesthetics, but it's a very nice atmosphere. My experiences are mainly lunchtime ones and I have no complaints about food or service. (I see that other diners/reviewers for dinner cannot say the same.) I've had a number of pasta dishes and have enjoyed each one; I can say the same for my dining companions. Portion sizes are not massive, yet they are filling. I've also had a burger with fries at lunch and it was delicious. The menu is seasonal so it is always changing. I'd suggest reviewing it before you go as selections may not be to your liking. I find lunch reasonable but dinner can be pricey. I've never been when lunch is terribly busy so it's not hard to get in. For dinner you are best off to have a reservation--it is very busy and can be slow. I've found it to be a bit of a "boys' club" in the dinner hours or later (it's just an observation and it's not a surprise surrounded by office towers, condos, the ACC and Le Germain Hotel next door). If it helps you to know: cash or credit, no debit. Washrooms: they are located just outside the restaurant in the Telus building's lobby; ask the host/hostess for the key. There is also a patio. I understand the location's limitations with the surrounding environment, but on the patio it feels like you're in a bit of a parking lot, right at the ACC with the traffic and jumbo media screen. With such a great looking interior, you'd think the restaurant would go to more effort to make the patio more private and try to offer concealment from the unsightly elements so close by.
