text: THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE EARLY EVENING DINNER TASTING MENU -- $39/PP\n\nAPPETIZER \n- lobster gazpacho | traditional chilled spanish soup with lobster meat\n(upon receiving this order .. I thought this was going to be a rich dense soup but it is really light and a nice chill taste. highly recommend this dish as an appetizer)\n\n- stuffed piquillo peppers | goat cheese | mushrooms \n(one of my favorite tapas menu item to order. Nice spice and the goat cheese was cooked to perfection)\n\n\nENTR\u00c9E \n- fish | fresh seasonal selection\n(fish for the day was a salmon. I usually rarely order something I can make myself at home but the fish was cooked perfectly. nice slice and seasoned well. paired with baby carrots and seasonal vegetables. I would opt for the other items available if possible but still a nice entree)\n\n- pork chop | sous vide pork chop | baby carrots | dry fruit | px demi\n(entree is HUGE! might take 3 people to finish this course. the dates and prunes were a great addition to the dish. sauce was amazingly flavorful. a definite try)\n\nDESSERT \n- molten chocolate cake | baked meringue | blood orange sorbet\n(best dessert available. blood orange sorbet was beautifully crafted. chocolate cake was so gorgeous)\n\n- santiago's cake | almond cake | turr\u00f3n ice cream | caramelized nuts \n(server recommended this cake over the the other option. Can't get Turron ice cream like this anywhere.\n\n\nOVERALL\nJulian Serrano is known for his work over at Picasso at the Bellagio. His tapas inspired restaurant at the Aria is bit more casual than his offering at the other hotel. I definitely will be returning to try his popular tapas items. Highly recommend this restaurant to all of my peers visiting in Vegas.
