A seductively dark bar leads to the expansive dining room, where a hip mix of yesteryear architecture and droll postmodern art combines with ornate wall moldings and bejeweled canine sculptures for a fantastic atmosphere at Aria.

Equal parts dinner and a show, Aria has a menu that is the product of years of culinary preparation and performance. The food can be classified as American, but Chef Klaskala gets inspiration from cultures all over the world.
