[B]If all you suburban folks don't mind coming downtown, we can have a great get together here.

 

It's called METRA! No seriously...I can work out parking for my S2KI friends.

First week of December.....the progress the construction company made in the last few days = amazing!

Names I'd call it...

Well...it happened! $3 Million later....and we're broke! But we have a nice restaurant and bar for the Chicagoland area!

We opened 'aria' today (Dec 6th). Here are some photos pre-opening:



View From Hostess Station looking into dining area. You can see the "action station" from here.


The Action Station...where flatbreads, salads, nan bread, and a tandoori oven is located.




The Bar area....


Whew....glad it's done and I hope it's a success! More info can be found on the website (still in development) http://www.ariachicago.com

 

BTW, BP's Christmas party will be at your place.
