   Had a very good overall experience at Arya Steakhouse. The food was delicious and well-prepared, and the service stood out as exceptional—attentive, friendly, and professional throughout. The ambiance was inviting and comfortable, making it a great setting for a night out. Value for the experience was average to good, though the noise level was a bit on the higher side, especially during peak dinner hours. Definitely a place I’d return to, and recommend for both casual dinners and special occasions.

   We enjoy trying new restaurants and Saturday night is date night where we enjoy fine dining. Based upon high reviews from sites like open table, we decided to sample Arya. We weren’t sure what type of cuisine we’d experience at a“Persian steakhouse “. The simple answer is excellent. Arya has everything you’d expect in a quality steakhouse. Prime cuts of meat perfectly prepared, fresh seafood and appropriate side dishes. But you’ll also find a menu section dedicated to Kabobs. They have a varied and innovative drink list featuring their own creations as well as traditional cocktails. We ordered the bread basket which contained flatbread as well as a seeded loaf accompanied by butter as well as a spicy spread. Both were excellent. We ordered mushroom soup and the Caesar salad as appetizers. The salad was plentiful and tasty, but the star was the soup- best ever with crostini for dipping. For main course, we had the ribeye steak and the special which was a coffee coated filet mignon with jumbo prawns and scallop. Both were tasty and unlike many steakhouses, came with sides. The quality of the meat was excellent. The preparation was good, although we’ve had coffee coated steak before which was exceptional so it was a little disappointing. The ambiance of the restaurant is lovely. Clearly there is pride of ownership in this elegant place. The staff is outstanding from the hostesses who greeted us to the bus people who cleared plates. Our server was a standout. He was charming and efficient. Never rushed us yet kept everything moving along at a perfect pace. Shout out to the bartender who was asked by the table behind us to make a “clover club”. No one had heard of it except the person who ordered it. Yet he came up with the exact drink. In short, we’ll be back.

   Coordinate appetiser and main entrees. We were in the midst of appetiser and our main dishes were brought out and it was a bit of a juggle to move dishes around the table as we were still having our appetisers. I ordered the ribeye steak and it was half done and the meat was tough.  we also ordered the special dish which was baby back ribs with lobster. That was great. Desert was great which was a pistachio ice cream and they also gave slice of cake and ice cream for my husband’s birthday

   From start to finish, our experience at this steakhouse was top-tier. We started with the oysters—fresh, perfectly chilled, and beautifully presented. The crab gnocchi was rich and flavorful, with every bite melting in your mouth. The star of the night was the cowboy ribeye—juicy, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. We also tried the sweet and sour shrimp, which had just the right balance of tangy and sweet. The service was attentive without being overbearing, and the ambiance was perfect for a night out. We’ll definitely be coming back!
