Though I've had drinks at Aria, I had the opportunity to have lunch there last Friday and was impressed with their menu and varied/affordable options. Aria offers several 3 course lunch specials for 8.99 as well as other items for a few dollars more. I ordered the pan fried NC Trout w/ mashed potatoes for $12. It was excellent and a perfect lunch. I couldn't stay away from the warm bread and white bean spread (ridiculously good). Yum.
Highly recommend. Great lunch prices & great food at a lovely restaurant in Uptown Charlotte.
