Aria’s consistency is largely a by-product of the restaurant’s relaxed confidence and meticulous attention to detail. Every aspect of the restaurant, from the impeccable decor to the elaborate wine list, has been carefully selected. Nowhere is this more evident than in Aria’s cuisine, which is never over-embellished. Klaskala credits culinary experience and fresh, high-quality ingredients to fare that emphasizes straight-forward flavor. As with any stimulating performance, Aria is not lacking in drama. With each dish, Klaskala sets out to make the flavors “sing,” and such harmony is evident in his signature dishes. The Warm Lobster Cocktail, the Niman Ranch Slow Roasted Pork and the Zinfandel Braised Beef Short Rib blend flavors and textures with such precision as to make each dish uniquely spectacular. Pastry Chef Kathryn King creates similarly expressive dishes, such as Cross Creek Orchard Tangerine Panna Cotta, seasonal Sorbets, Warm Chocolate Cheesecake and numerous other delectable desserts.
