Aria

The setting and ambience was lovely, lots of greenery and light gave it a calm, almost holiday-like, feeling.
We had pre-booked afternoon tea for 2.30 and the food came out after 45mins. The tea arrived at the same time. We felt this was quite a long time to wait.
The sandwiches were a big disappointment. Liked the concept of 4 finger sandwiches each with different fillings but this was executed badly. The bread did not feel or taste fresh and soft. It was stale. The fillings were very miserly and should have been a bit more generous. The scones were lovely as were the little desserts, especially the lemon posset. The tea was lovely (fresh mint) however there were hardly any staff milling around if you wanted to ask for anything.
Overall an enjoyable experience, let down by the sandwiches and the delay, which was a shame as both of these could so easily have been improved.

The restaurant was fabulous, the food was great and the staff was perfect. Felt really happy and relaxed in a very pleasant setting. Really awesome dinner night.

It was a nice restaurant located on the ground floor of the Hyatt Regency hotel. Lovely surroundings, very dim atmospheric cosy candlelight. I chose to sit next to a well lit display cabinet nearby so I had enough light to see what I was doing. There were about six other customers dotted around the restaurant and the staff weren't as attentive as I would have expected. I had concerns about that as I was stood at the reception desk waiting to be seated for a good long while. The staff were very nice mind you, there didn't seem to be a particular waiter assigned to me or to the table. Sometimes it would be a woman popping by, sometimes a man and the wait times weren't unreasonable, just longer than you'd expect considering the kind of restaurant it is. The food was excellent, they ad a small selection of menu items to choose from for starter and for main. Scallops, lobster bisque, fillet steak and that kind of thing. Very flavoursome. Dessert was also a very nice apple tart with caramel sauce, topped (albeit rather ungracefully) with a ball of vanilla ice cream and served with a single spoon to eat it with so there was a certain amount of chasing it around the plate with a spoon.

very good atmosphere and service even. Good price with good quality of food

Service was ok. We were initially offered a Pre-theatre menu that was different to the festive one which we downloaded only a day earlier. The festive menu was eventually produced.

Fantastic decor, attentive staff and incredible food, best afternoon tea ever - I highly recommend.

Lovely setting, but we had some trouble getting there, having had to navigate around all of the building work that was going on in the surrounding area. It would have been nice to have had a courtesy call as my Mum and I have to take quite a big diversion.

The afternoon tea itself I could not fault, very enjoyable. The staff were polite, but I must say that the service was slow and we were waiting 20 minutes + for our drinks and it wasn't particularly busy. We then waited quite a lot longer for our food to be served.

The website said no parking but there was! Rather annoying to walk there from parking place! Food good, menu very small but service good and waiters very pleasant and accommodating. Pity about parking as the hotel had valet parking!

The staff at Aria were very welcoming and attentive. The food was all delicious and the restaurant was very comfortable

Excellent meal super service an all round delight
