A: Went to this restaurant for the first time on Valentine's Day. Needless to say it was super busy when we arrived early for our reservation, however the bar service was incredibly speedy and friendly, and there is a nice outdoor waiting area with sofas and heaters. When we did get seated, we were in the more casual bar side versus the dining room, but that did not detract from our experience. Yes, it was a bit louder than the other side would have been, but I still felt like I had a wonderful intimate experience with my love. Our server was extremely pleasant and helpful, and even though we were obligated to order off the prix fixe menu due to the holiday, there were great options and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. The portions were a tad on the smaller side, but because we had 4 courses, it was the perfect amount of food for the evening. I will absolutely go back, and look forward to experiencing the full menu!

Q: negative

A: I have seen a few Cirque shows and i was not really all that impressed with this particular show. Tired old sexual jokes and gags. I have seen and heard all this stuff many times many places before. I really did not like the skit about the Instant implants made with whiskey. Really dumb. Yawn. Not hot! . Not much of anything. The entire show was sort of flat.(in more ways than one) I did like the water ballet in the huge glass at the beginning of the show, but it was downhill from there. This show has lots of talent and potential, but it is wasted by lack of creativity. It seems like they did a Slam Bam, lets put a show together quickly.much better Cirque shows in Vegas than this one....would not repeat , zzzzzz, caught myself fake laughing and then yawning. good thing they did not get me up on stage for anything or i would have used the time to fall asleep. After seeing Bon Jovi concert the night before this was a bore.

Q: positive

A: I would really have to nitpick to find much to kvetch about at Angel's Trumpet. In full disclosure, I know and like Matt, the owner. My biggest complaint is that the place is not open for lunch. I was stunned when I suggested the place for lunch, only to find they open late. The other night, I had three beer snobs out for drinks and dinner. As always, the beer was fantastic, and the quality of the food has become consistently excellent. The real star was our server, Chelsea. Pretty, funny, and prompt without being obtrusive. She had a ton of tables, and literally ran herself glistening making sure that everyone was taken care of on a hot summer night.

A:
My family and I ate at Aria for dinner one night when we were visiting Charlotte. We went there with not too high expectations but were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant and would visit there again on my next visit to Charlotte.
