Our friend Carol gave us a very generous engagement/farewell present before we moved - a gift voucher for Aria Restaurant. Having just been to The Press Club we were excited about trying out another fine dining restaurant owned by another of our Masterchef favourites, Matt Moran.
We had booked a table for 6pm and this early seating time came with an offer of a complimentary glass of 2007 Stonier sparkling wine (Mornington Peninsula, Victoria) on arrival. The meals were absolutely divine and the service was attentive without being intrusive. Pair that with a view of the Brisbane River and you have the making for a wonderful evening.
