Aria   

Aria provides a contemporary twist on conventional comfort foods. Using American flavors and ingredients to update traditional dishes from around the world, aria defies regional dining, creating a distinctive experience that is both culturally inspired and comfortably American. Guided by executive chef Brad Parsons, and inspired by flavors and techniques found throughout the world, at Aria you'll find a menu that transcends any one cultural tradition. Blending equal parts restaurant and lounge, step into aria bar. Anchored by a gold amorphic sofa and an illuminated sushi station, Aria bar is a sensory experience set to a global soundtrack. Sari-inlaid tables, influenced by traditional noodle houses in Japan, provide communal space to enjoy aria bar's noodle menu, while private recesses enhanced by gold and amber shears provide a discreet getaway to experience aria bar's exemplary sushi and sake.
