Aera

The venue isn’t in the mall it’s actually to the left across from the LCBO, take the elevator up. The view is amazing!! The aesthetic of the venue was absolutely gorgeous. The “Corn bread” 😘chef’ kiss, “exquisite”the salmon was great too but the corn bread was the highlight and for all my coffee lovers the expresso coffee martini is a must try. The service was timely and superb, shout out to all the servers. All in all my friend and I birthday celebration turned out amazing this restaurant was an amazing choice.

Loved this place! The vibe was classy and stylish at the same time and the view was amazing. The seafood was super fresh, and the sushi was honestly the best I’ve had in Toronto so far. And seriously don’t skip the lobster pasta. It was insanely good. The server and bartender were so friendly and professional. They answered all my questions and made me feel really comfortable. Such a great experience. I’ll definitely come back.

The place is perfect for date night. The view is beautiful from the 38th floor. Its a bit confusing to reach this place from Well. But once you are at the entrance of The Well just looks for A Spadina building gate. And walk through you will see the signage for Aera. Very friendly staff. Loved their service. Had the Yellowtail Chiviche, must must have. So yummm. Had my fav Sushi , spicy scallops yumm Maritime Grilled Salmon all time fav !

The views inside and outside is nice. Good atmosphere. Service needs work. You will do a lot of waiting. Waiting to be seated, waiting for food and waiting on any request for bill or other stuff will be a long wait. Food also was not great, some food was surprisingly very cold. I dont recommend more than once. Good to try once, but the price is not worth the experience. Lots of other better restaurants in Toronto. This is not worth the hype.

Had the lamb chops they were perfectly seasoned and cooked the right temp (medium) but speaking of temps they were a little not hot like maybe the cook finished them first and set them to the side not under a light to ensure the right temp. The brussels sprouts were fantastic. She had the lobster spaghetti and enjoyed it immensely. She noted the pasta tasted freshly home made. For dessert we settled on The crème brûlée tart, which was soooo good. The atmosphere is trendy, amazing views of the whole city. They offer rooftop bottle service but we did not partake. But with that comes a lot of chatter on top of music. The cherry on it all was our server, Alex, who exceeded all expectations. Alex could be our new best friend, above and beyond—thank you. This dinner could not have been more perfect save for warmer lamb chops lol.

We had the most incredible experience at Aera thanks to our server Randy. He was thoughtful, considerate, and went above and beyond in every way. From the very beginning, he took the time to plan out our entire evening, making sure each course flowed seamlessly into the next. The way he paired food items and structured the meal showed not only deep knowledge of the menu but also genuine care for creating a memorable dining experience. Throughout the night, he was attentive without ever being intrusive, always making sure we were comfortable and taken care of. It’s rare to find someone who combines professionalism with such warmth and dedication. He truly elevated our evening, and we left not only impressed with the food but grateful for the service. Hands down the best server we’ve ever had — Aera is lucky to have him!

I’ve been to Aera a number of times, and the service is consistently pretty good. The atmosphere is truly astonishing — such a great vibe to relax and enjoy a meal. The view is also quite nice, especially if you're seated by the windows. There’s usually some great food on the menu, and today was no exception — everything I tried was very tasty. My absolute favorite is the cornbread. I get it every time I visit — usually two orders because it’s just that good! I also tend to go for the steak and lamb chops. They're generally well-prepared, but I did visit about two weeks ago and found the lamb chops to be way too salty, which was a bit disappointing. Still, overall, Aera is a solid spot with a beautiful setting, good service, and dishes that hit the mark more often than not. I’ll definitely keep going back!

The view was stunning, and overall, we had a pleasant experience. Service was better than expected (based on other reviews) —likely helped by the fact that we went earlier in the evening when it was less crowded. As for the food – The whole seabream was decent and the side carrots were surprisingly delicious and outshone the Brussels sprouts. We also ordered the yellowtail ceviche, which was decent in flavor but we felt the portion was quite small for the price. We also tried the Amelia and Cosmopolitan cocktails, both enjoyable if you prefer sweeter drinks.
