a diner from NW Washington, DC
Dined at Aria in June of 2006 with three other friends.
Kitchen: Sloppy. Three of four orders had to be sent back to kichen for various reasons: a chicken/artichoke salad with no chicken; another chicken/artichoke salad w/ no artichokes; an overcooked steak. Next, two of the three new meals had to go back for similar reasons. Everything took a long time.
Food: the chicken was dry, a medium-rare steak was overcooked-- twice. The steak salad was pretty good.
Service: our server was unfriendly, and at times, inefficient. The waiter serving the next table was very nice.
Management: Young, seemingly inexperienced, defensive and unresponsive. Charged us for uneaten, overcooked steak.
Drinks: house wine was pretty good, and reasonably priced.

We look forward to returning to this quiet gem! Selected for its proximity to the National Zoo, we would return simply to enjoy the food and atmosphere. All this at a reasonable price -- a rare combination in D.C.
