I typically reserve negative reviews for serious issues, especially when it comes to local small businesses. However, I can't help but express my disappointment with the fall of Aris. After being away for a few years, I recently revisited this once-beloved spot, and to my dismay, it seems to have gone downhill. The only redeeming quality is that the restaurant still retains its nostalgic charm, earning it a modest 3-star rating on atmosphere. But the food I ordered lacked any semblance of passion or creativity; it felt like it was prepared with the bare minimum effort. To add insult to injury, they've started nickel-and-diming customers for every little thing, including a measly cup of peanut butter.

The food was fantastic, guests were happy, and any left overs were happily requested by guests to take home.
I requested to pick up my order early, and was accommodated within minutes (15 minutes to be exact!). I so appreciated their flexibility.
The value of what you receive at this place is 5 star. You get more than you would expect considering what you pay. My family has been going to Aris for decades, and will continue to support Aris because they...
