    Views are spectacular. Quality of food was okay. Ordered the Branzino as my main and they only give you one fillet! At $44 that was super disappointing !! The servers kept trying to take our food away before we were finished with it as though they were rushing us but it wasn’t even busy. Also just to be aware for group of 6 or more there is a min $100 per person spend which we did know when we booked.

    It was a great experience but when we called the restaurant to get directions (it’s hard to figure out once you’re in the Well) the man who picked up was rude and hung up on us. The service was a bit slow but the views were great

    Probably better for a group that can have smaller tastes of multiple dishes. What we had was too heavy. Should have gone with our gut on what to order to achieve a better balanced selection of dishes rather than the recommendations. Nothing special about sitting at the chef’s table other than it being quieter than the main dining room. Usually a fan of O&B restaurants but have to say that Aera didn’t impress.

    Sushi was excellent and service was very attentive and professional. We would have preferred a window seat to enjoy the view so disappointed we got seated in upper which was dark and felt remote.
