    Amazing food and great service. The lobster spaghetti was top class. Our waitress gave an excellent wine paring for the pasta and she was extremely good with the way she made us feel welcomed. We were there for my wife’s birthday, and they accommodated us with a sparkler and a personal birthday wish note, which added a nice touch to the whole evening. Overall an excellent experience and would definitely visit again !

    It was good, but a bit pricey, considering the view. Speaking of which, the view was lovely, and the waitress was very kind. However, there weren’t many non-alcoholic drinks available. Definitely recommend the Cipriani Bellini, though.

    Aera offers a fantastic atmosphere with an even more stunning view. The food was enjoyable—we tried three appetizers, a main course, and a bottle of wine. The service was attentive, adding to the overall experience. While everything was great, the breathtaking view alone makes it worth a visit. Highly recommend!

    Second time going to Aera and it’s become my favourite place. The food was good especially the oysters. The only thing I didn’t like was one of my drinks; late night, I think it was call, however the waitress was nice a got me something better. Will definitely be going back.
