   This is my third visit to Alia. Loved the Greek music playing in the background. Food was Devine and service was fantastic. Look forward to dining there again.

   We had a good dinner but many things could be improved, specially in service which I believe was not enough for the size of the restaurant. The Maitre (a lady in black) when offering drinks and asked about cocktails, replied "I don´t know, I have not tried". Then we waited for 40 minutes for our main courses (crab pasta and lamb). When asked why it was delayed, not even an apologize, she just said "it's coming". The quality of food was good and well presented.

   Waitress was very unhelpful and uninterested. Menu is designed for sharing and we asked her how many plates we should order for 5 people and she shrugged and said ‘up to you’. When pressed she said one large plate was a big meal for one person but plates were very small. Didn’t return to the table once after food arrived to see if we wanted to order any more food or drinks. We sat there for an hour after food was cleared with no interaction or offer of more drinks.

   All the shared plates were sensational. The only thing that let this place down was a fairly boring and dry vegetarian main. But we will definitely be back, and adored everything else. Would probably just stick to small plates next time.

   Food was delicious and a great variety on the tasting platter. The only downside was the pressure to be finished in 2 hours, even though we had 10 people and when when we booked it said the time for 7+ was 2 hours 30 minutes.

   What a beautiful new addition to the Canberra dining scene! We had the loveliest evening, with impeccable service and amazingly delicious food! I would highly recommend the feed me menu - the steak, chicken and the roasted potatoes! exceeded our expectations! And wait until you have the dessert! Thank you for a lovely evening in such a beautiful setting - could not recommend more!!!

   Good and drink was amazing, service was a little slow and hard to find waitstaff considering the restaurant wasn’t extremely busy. But still really really good!!

   Loved that I felt like I was eating a home cooked meal made by a Greek family in a gorgeous setting. Love the Greek music playing in the background. Only thing missing was I wasn’t in Greece!

    The food was amazing! We had a variety of the small share plates and the lobster linguine which super tasty! The food menu has all the good things that Greek’s do so well the atmosphere was so sophisticated and lux but understand lux. The only to let it down was the cocktail menu - I’d prefer a traditional cocktail menu with classic selections opposed to Greek inspired cocktails. Overall it was such a nice experience the vibes and the food were amazing!
