    Valentine’s Day menu was delicious from start to finish. Our server was good, could have been a bit more attentive. He forgot to give me a rose at the start of my dinner. I had to ask for it at the end of our dinner which made me feel a little left out because I saw tables around me getting their rose as they were being seated. I was a little shy to ask for it but I asked the lovely lady who picked up our plates and she apologized on the servers behalf. Other than that small detail, I really enjoyed my first experience at Arya. Me and my partner got the filet minion and New York steak, AMAZING. The hostess were very polite. We arrived early and they offered us a seat at the bar while we waited.. we don’t drink so we just took a seat on the benches at the main entrance, but we truly appreciated the kind gesture. My partner and I will definitely be back to try the regular menu soon. Thank you Arya for a great Valentine’s Day dinner experience.

    Visited on V-day 2025 one day ahead. Semi-regular guest but pouring rain so expected more no-shows. Not at Sundance. Overall service was impeccable and especially our table service by Jeff. He's a veteran there and extremely knowledgable of the menu and wines including how dishes are cooked and his recommendations, after thoughtful discussion, were perfect. have experienced similar table service in the past. Bone-in rib eye was absolutely phenomenal and just slightly more so than the prime rib. We split the caesar salad which was a perfect size. Good choices for accompaniments including baked potato, mushies, etc. We don't remember the enjoyable special cocktails and wines by the glass but they all matched well! Oh, yes, before I forget, the Chocolate Sundae dessert was a must have and perfect finish. Thank you Galen, Tanner and Jeff.

    We have never experienced a better night out. Everyone from the host greeting us with a warm smile to David the manager introducing himself and offering his services as needed to our excellent server Hannah was a top notch employee. We felt like royalty as they took such great care of us. The food, the service and the atmosphere were all better than we could have dreamed of. You have to have the smoking manhattan from the bar. It was so tasty and the present was superb. If you are fortunate enough to have Hannah serving you, I promise you will have the best waitress in the business. We eat out often and over the 3 decades of doing so, I have never seen anyone better at what they do. We can’t wait to go back.
