Aria Restaurant Sydney Reviews from The Last Year
Flavours and experience characterise the evening
The experience at dining at Aria was very welcoming with all staff standing back to allow us entry and saying hello or welcome. I had ordered some wine ahead of the evening and it was nice to sit and enjoy that without being rushed. We ordered the tasting menu so choice was easy to explore flavours. The most pleasing dish was what should have been the wagyu, but both my wife’s portion and my own had a gristle piece that wasn’t visible to cut off. A very enjoyable evening though overall
Elegant eatery
An elegant high end restaurant with exquisite service and carefully prepared food. That could rate a 5 but some small issues. Price was extraordinary ( and not listed on menu). Extra for coffee and sparkling water at 4 course meal.Food well prepared and with fine, interesting flavors. Modest portions. Nice views of the harbor.
Wine at Aria
Having made a reservation a month before, we expected to have a table in the dining room, as advertised, but we were led to a corridor by the side. Upon request/protest however, they did move us to a better table... Our main concern was with the sommelier. After we ordered the wine, she showed the bottle to us and then took it away and brought back a carafe having it already uncorked and decantered. As we are not connoisseurs of Australian wines, we had no idea if it was actually the one we had ordered. We have eaten in many Michelin star restaurants and had never witnessed such a strange routine.
Outstanding food and views!
We were in Sydney for business and had heard about Aria. We had the tasting menu with Beluga caviar and matching wines. The food was absolutely amazing and we enjoyed all the dishes. The matching wines were quite thoughtful and were a mix of local and overseas wines. The view is another reason to dine here, when combined with the fine food you will enjoy an amazing evening. Highly recommended.
Servings too small. Charged for tap water in a bottle without asking.view nice.was first available dinner after covid shut down
Small servings, left hungry..was charged for bottled tap water ,took away the half empty bottle and brought a full one which we didn't need or ask for but got charged.we had a $300 gift voucher. Needed an extra $200 and left unsated, went home to eat. Nice view.
Excellent Restaurant On Sydney Harbour
We always love visiting Aria. The food is excellent, the view is spectacular, and the whole experience is brought together by the exceptional staff. A special thank you to Roxy for making our visit as special as it was.
A must go to when we are in Sydney,
We visit Aria every time we are in Sydney. As we live in England this isn’t as often as we would like. The welcome is great, the view of the harbour and opera house unrivalled. The quality and presentation of the food has been as good as our first visit in March 2020. A short menu of beautifully crafted dishes suits us perfectly. Service is attentive and the sommelier excellent. Highly recommend this restaurant.
They made us feel special
We came here for my husband’s birthday, right before attending an opera at the opera house. It is about a 5 minute walk to the box office, so very close if you are going to see a show there. The view of the opera house is extraordinary, I can’t imagine a better place to take in its beauty. If you like to people watch you will definitely get an eyeful from this vantage point. We did the pre show tasting menu and it was perfect. I recommend the duck! The flavor was a Michelin experience. The staff was dotting and gracious. They even served my husband an extra little dessert that added a special touch to the night.
Ok…
Nice views with exceptional service. Staff were impeccably groomed and attentive. The decor seemed a bit “boardroom stuffy” but I’m guessing majority of the clientele are businessmen going to luncheons and dinners so it’s reflective of that. The food was average and some of the dishes were a little too heavily salted. It was ok but probably wouldn’t go back.
Lovely dinner with view of Sydney Opera House.
Excellent food, wine and service. The view of the opera house was also a plus. We appreciated the pre-theatre prix fix option.
Food was ok, not great.
The fish was good but the side of potatoes were floating in fat. Portions are small, which is not necessarily a bad thing as it was not that good. Quintesential tourist trap. Avoid!
Number 1 for Nouvelle Cuisine in Sydney
My wife and I had planned this lunch to celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary. We arrived at midday and chose the 4 course menu ($225 each). We had sparkling mineral water for the entirety of the meal. Also with our meal, my wife chose the Prelude Mocktail consisting of Yuzu and cloudy apple infused with lemon leaf and I chose a half bottle of 2018 Chateaux de Cedre Cahors (France), both were delightful. The meal commenced with the customary Amuse Bouche, including Chicken pate in a small tart and a soft cheese ball with pecorino cheese on top, a perfect start to the meal. The four course menu includes two entrees, a main and dessert. Hot bread arrived at the beginning of the meal served with an amazing Aria made butter infused with chicken broth and seaweed which was truly fabulous, as well as a Pepe Saya reduced salt butter. We really enjoyed our meals, especially the distinct flavours and freshness of the ingredients, and the aromas and the design of the food upon the plates. My meal included: An entrée of K'gari spanner crab with tomato, fermented chilli and green strawberries; a second entrée of coral prawn ravioli with tarragon, .lemon and espellete; the main of O'Connor grass fed Angus Beef Fillet; a lemon sorbet refresher; and a dessert of Caramelised banana soufflé with Yuzu sorbet, brown butter and Pecan. My wife's meal included: an entrée of Scallops with Yuzu, daikon and Tasmanian wasabi; a second entrée of Murray Cod with summer squash, zucchini and green tomato; the main of Maremma Duck with spigarello, witlof and cherries; a refresher of Lemon sorbet; and a dessert of mango, Jasmine and Lychee. We concluded the meal with well made, barista coffees. Our super efficient and friendly waiter Jack was amazing, as were all the staff, including the Sommelier who provided his expertise to my choice of wine. A meal at this amazing restaurant is highly recommended
The BEST restaurant in Australia in, sublime food, amazing staff and spectacular view (Harbour Bridge & Opera House)
We have been to Aria 3 times in the past 12 months, the food is always spectacular! Every mouthful is a burst of flavour in your mouth, it really is the best restaurant we have ever been to.
Service was a real let down for a special occasion
Had a disappointing dinner for 4 at Aria on 30th December. Seated in one of the function areas at the back, which I can understand given the time of year but certainly lacks the wow factor of the main dining room. This was a special occasion and we we hosting 2 older non-Sydney family members who enjoy good food. The service was terrible. Rushed through several courses at breakneck speed. Bizarrely, 1.40 hours after sitting down - and before we were even served the main course - the waiter asked if we could eat our deserts in the bar as they wanted our table back for another party. Refused and were then reassured we could stay but it was all a bit cringey for a restaurant like Aria, especially at $290 a head for a degustation menu. I complained to the manager and she was certainly professional to speak with but did little to offer an explanation for the service mistakes. Food was good - not great - and a couple of dishes would have benefited from a pinch of salt (IMHO). Sorry Aria - not good enough and we won’t be returning any time soon.
Simply the best! Everything is perfection at Aria- from
Simply the best! Everything is perfection at Aria- from service, to the view, to the incredible food. The perfect start before seeing an opera. The elegant dining room overlooks the harbor and the opera house. We did the pre- theater menu which allowed us to taste the best Aria had to offer and make our show without feeling rushed. Our martinis were the perfect start paired with bread service - artisan bread with Australia's incredible butter... and chicken butter! Amazing!! The amuse bouche was the perfect starter of foi Gras mousse and a light ceviche. My starter was the yellowfin tuna with smoked dashi broth and radish. Possibly the best tuna I've had outside of Tokyo. My partner had the Rangers beef tartare with smoked eel served in a sweet potato crust. For the main course my partner enjoyed the O'Conner fillet of beef over Jerusalem artichokes. I had the maremma duck- two ways- perfectly cooked breast and confit. Incredible!! And of course we had to get the royal blue brown butter potatoes- life changing goodness. Mains were followed by a refreshing intermezzo. Dessert was Australian cheese and a light airy caramelized banana soufflé. The entire meal was like an Aria- perfection!

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
