   Great food, stunning view, and excellent service. We were on a tight schedule for an event, and the staff made sure everything moved quickly without making us feel rushed. They really delivered on all fronts.

   The food and view were great, but the experience was ruined by the front hosts who were extremely rude and had a terrible attitude. The bartender only became friendly after receiving a generous tip. Definitely wouldn’t return.

   Third time dining here and the food is consistently good. Decor, view, and vibes are always nice. Tried the Toriyama featured martini this time and the soy and sesame notes with hints of nori was delectable. Recommend for dirty martini lovers.

   Aera has one of the most stunning views in Toronto—truly a sight to behold, making it the perfect spot for a special occasion. I celebrated my birthday night here, and while the ambiance was undeniably elevated and luxurious, my overall experience left me wanting more. The View: The CN Tower-facing tables are the prime seats in the house, and unfortunately, I wasn’t able to secure one. Upon arrival, I was informed that these tables require pre-booking directly through the restaurant’s website, something I wish I had known when I booked through OpenTable. After speaking with the manager, I learned that reservations made via OpenTable don’t offer the option to select that specific area. A bit disappointing, but a good FYI for anyone planning to visit—if you want the best view, book directly with the restaurant. The Food & Service: While the menu offers a refined selection, I felt that for a restaurant of this calibre, both the food and service should have been more elevated and memorable. Nothing particularly stood out, aside from the Oyster Rockefeller, which I highly recommend. The rest of the meal, while enjoyable, didn’t quite match the high expectations set by the setting. ⭐ Rating: 4/5 ✔️ Must-try: Oyster Rockefeller 🚨 Tip: Book directly on the restaurant’s website if you want a seat with the best view.

    it was such a wonderful experience. I took one of my cousins who was visiting from the states. We both absolutely loved it. Highly recommend the carrot cake. The service was superb and the meals were delicious. I went to year ago and I wasn't so happy with the service and food, but things have drastically improved and I will definitely be back and the views are unreal. Highly recommend going early to take some nice pictures. Thank you Aera!!
