   We had a reservation for 4:30 and arrived 10 minutes early and were told by the hostess all the tables were “assigned “ and we would need to sit in the bar until then. Assigned ? Is this a new verbiage for a reservation ? The restaurant was basically empty only 4 tables had patrons. After another 15 minutes of sitting in the bar we had to approach the hostess again to be seated, at that point she seemed confused over the sitting “assignment”. Finally was offed a table for 2 in the back of the restaurant completely facing the wall with our backs to the entire restaurant. It was a totally inappropriate placement of a table, which hopefully will be removed after this review. Also need to mention there were 5 empty tables for 2 throughout our entire dinner that were never filled. The dinner special was just ok, but our waitress was great. Would not recommend especially for a holiday dinner.

   The room is odd some tables in bright light others dark . Extremely limited menu. The bar Giggles long wait at bar and only 6 people. Cocktails expensive and not very good. Not somewhere I would be interested in dining again.

   The food was amazing and service was attentive and friendly. The restaurant was a little loud but it really didn’t detract from our overall experience.

   There was a DJ playing loud rap music over lunch time on the Saturday before Christmas. Expected something different, if music at all. Syrup pitcher was delivered to table with no syrup in it. When asked for syrup, was given a small pre-packaged syrup. The hostess picked up used glasses with her fingers inside the glasses. Then we observed her replacing clean glasses on table again with fingers inside of the glasses. Would not go there again with all the wonderful restaurants in Milwaukee.

   We had the crispy skin salmon, it was delicious. Service was a little slow but we had planned extra time before a performance. Our server was excellent. Great atmosphere.

   Great service. Helpful waitstaff. Hostess very friendly. Had miserable experience in parking structure but staff at Aria helped us forget about it and enjoy our dinner. Loves the goat cheese appetizer. Service at their bar after the show was also good.

   Server was very accommodating and kept us on track with our required departure time. She made helpful menu suggestions. We shared an amazing generous beet salad. The sea bass and chicken entrees were magnifique. I finally found the perfect Maker’s Mark straight up Manhattan! Happy holidays!
