Currently, I think Aera restaurant has one of the BEST views of our City with a nice tall view of CN Tower and the new green TD Tower. It’s also cool to see cars going along the Gardiner Expressway, giving it an unique perspective from high above. Why do I say this? With so many tall condos being built, it’s not easy to get a clear view of the CN Tower nowadays.
The walk from the entrance along the glass hallway allows the patrons the view of the city. It’s also nice to see people sitting along the kitchen for some freshly made sushi and seeing the kitchen in action.
We luv the ambience, the bar area and the seating area. Our servers were excellent in providing great cocktails and food recommendations and will consistently come back to see how we were doing which was much appreciated.
In terms of food, nothing really unique or signature about it, it’s more the typical comfort food like burgers, fries, pastas or cocktail shrimps. I think that’s just the way this restaurant want to go on the safe side. Pricing wise, it’s not cheap but more inline with the Downtown Toronto expensive pricing but you pretty pay for the spectacular view.
This is a great place for date nights coz it’s very romantic with great ambience, lighting, it builds the mood. It’s also a great spot for friends gathering.
The only minor drawback is the odd layout of the restaurant. You have to enter from an entrance that somewhat looks like someone’s condo. Then, there isn’t much signage to direct you to the elevator, it’s a bit hard to find and having to walk all the way back to the elevator to get up to the 38th Floor. Then, the washroom is located at the front near the elevator, so when you are seated at the back of the bar or dining area, it’s quite a track to walk all the way to the front to use the washroom and then having to walk back to your table.
But on the positive note, it’s located at The Well, so you can check out stores at the mall before or after your visit at Aera.
I would recommend you to come for some appetizers and cocktails after dining a full meal somewhere or come here for pre-drink and enjoy the view before going somewhere for dinner after.
