ARIA — Three of the restaurants at Aria are heading into February with tasting menus galore. American Fish is offering up a four-course meal with a Dungeness crab cake, fish and chips, shrimp and grits and Michael Mina’s lobster pot pie capped of with a root beer float or bananas foster for $85. Jean Georges Steakhouse brings its A-game with a five-course tasting menu that highlights beef from Rangers Valley in Brisbane, Australia. Look for Rangers Valley Angus 300 beef prepared in four cooking styles: hand-cut Wagyu steak tartare, charred chili-rubbed Angus 300 rib eye skewers, Angus 300 braised short rib and a 21-day dry-aged grilled Angus 300 NY Strip for $95. Sirio Ristorante dishes a five-course meal with a raw seafood trio of Littleneck clams, Kusshi oysters and branzino carpaccio, followed by beet and mascarpone cheese-filled ravioli topped with seasonal black truffle shavings.
