| - I came here for an impromptu dinner date on a Saturday night. We had walked through the Cosmo, Crystals and finally decided on Julian Serrano in Aria. The restaurant was starting to get busy with the dinner crowd, but we were still able to get a table right away.
My brain was pretty fried from partying two nights already, so I asked for our servers' recommendations and picked something from there. We ended up getting the Fried Calamari, Spanish Iberico Sliders and Paella Marinera. The food came out pretty quickly, which was good because we were starving.
The calamari was nice and crispy...pretty much your typical fried calamari. The sliders were quite good. They were filled with prime beef, Iberico pork and caramelized onions. The beef was nice and tender and the caramelized onions gave it a nice sweet flavor. The paella was huge...it definitely could've been shared by three or four people. there was calamari, shrimp, mussels, monk fish and vegetables with saffron rice. The flavor was amazing and we were quite impressed. We ended up with leftovers of the paella, and I took it back to my hotel for my post party munchies.
The service here was very good and our waitress was very attentive. Granted, most restaurants on the Strip are more pricey, but our bill came out to be very decent for the items we ordered. I would mark this as a restaurant to come back to and try other items on the menu.
