Great menu selection with some vegan and vegetarian options. Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious.

Last week we tried to visit Aida and found there was no room for a party of two at 630 pm on a Saturday. We interpreted this as a good sign. So a week later with reservations and another couple, we returned. Being restaurant week, we gravitated to the lengthy fixed price menu (two appetizers, ane entree and a dessert for $46. I warned my table-mates that restaurant week menus can mean smaller portions, but we were not prepared for the secondary appetizers to have been interrmezzo-sized. The Chopped judges would have been critical. Service was competent, the dining room both spacious and surprisingly empty, the food was tasty enough (my blackened mahi over linguini was well-seasoned and prepared nicely enough). Come for the beer, as Aida has a large list of craft beers, reasonably priced at $5 a glass. Aida wants you to come for the wine and the food, but come for the beer. Overrall, the modest sizes of the portions was so misaligned with the total cost for the evening ($300 including tax and tip for a party of four) that we'd be hard-pressed to hurry back with many Italian restaurants serving better faire at a far greater value.

My wife and I got a reservation for a random date night and we are kicking ourselves for not coming sooner! Truly a 5 star restaurant if any deserve it. First, Luke was absolutely awesome as a server, very respectful, continuously kept on top of any requests, on the ball constantly, politely asking if we were done with plates... he could host a Masterclass in being a great host! The food was equally paralleled with this, being some of the better tasting things we've had in a bit. We did the Date Night Experience tasting menu and loved it. The pork belly and scallops were tender and crisp at the same time with the right kind of freshness and sauce to compliment them, the watermelon salad and grilled Cesar salad were also fresh and delicious, the truffle mushroom ravioli and salmon marsala were incredible, and the chocolate mousse cake and lemoncello torte were fluffy but packed with flavor. Every bit was well balanced and seasoned and was a uniquely enticing flavor. The drink selection has a very Maryland spin and they were not afraid to give us the money's worth in alcohol, with my wife going back for another glass of the spicy watermelon and me enjoying a few of their whiskey cocktails. Atmosphere was quiet and calm on the Thursday night we went, which made it perfect for a nice evening out to chat. Even the bathrooms are well kept and clean. We absolutely will be coming again, and happily! Worth every penny, and was a very memorable experience. Thanks Luke for the great service and AIDA for the great evening!
