Ario

It shines at fine beef aged 35 days in an on-premise aging room, but do not dismiss Ario as just another high-priced steakhouse. High-priced it is, but you get what you pay for - exquisite quality. Sit at the display kitchen counter to see chefs at work - a cross between surgeons, artists and magicians. The totally original ice-fire décor of Ario carries the illusion of magic. Then there's the magic in your mouth. Homemade sunflower seed rolls with cinnamon and citrus notes served with butternut squash butter. Charred Portuguese octopus with ink aioli and fried green tomatoes. Miso cod with watercress puree. Bone-in filet mignon and wagyu ribeye. Lamb Presse with yogurt and key lime. Passion fruit créme brulee. Sigh!
