I was dining our with a group of my best friends for a birthday dinner. I wanted us to have a beautiful experience and it was. From Oliver's top notch professional French service and knowledge to the beautifully plated dishes the entire evening was exactly as I had hoped. The kitchen was able to accommodate one guest who wasn't able to choose from the menu and surprised us with birthday treats at the end. They really made it all about our experience. I will be back and would recommend Aiāna to those looking for a premier dining experience ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

As a table of former waitresses and bartenders, this was by far the best service we’ve ever had. Our waiter was attentive, polite, quick, and we had a wonderful experience. There was another gentleman helping out as well and he was also wonderful, he checked on allergies and made us feel at ease. Overall, the food was great, but the service ensured we had an even better experience. Thank you.
