    How can you claim to be the best aged Steakhouse in Maco Island and mess up a simple Filet Mignon? Our Steaks seamed to be broiled not grilled with Zero seasoning. We had to ask for A1 steak sauce. Who does that?

    Only thing we didn’t like was the sautéed mushrooms. Not because of how they were cooked, but it was a personal preference. Everything else was great.

    We had to send our filet back several times for a medium sear. I don’t mind medium rare, but it was bleeding on the plate each time. The NY strip was cooked fine but lacked flavor. The Mac and cheese was bland and even my kids didn’t like it, which if you know kids, it’s hard to mess up Mac and cheese!! Probably our worst meal in Marco Island. Ambience and service were good and it was not noisy.

    We dined at Ario on the first night of our babymoon. I could not speak more highly of the atmosphere, food, and especially the service provided by our server Philomena. She immediately asked us what occasion we were celebrating, brought a free glass of champagne, and offered to take our photo outside the restaurant. The food was incredible - we had a smoked salmon amuse (which was out of this world good), scallops, filet mignon, ribeye, truffle wedge, and lobster Mac and cheese. We loved it all! Highly recommend checking this place out!

    This is one of our go to places in Marco. The experience was a little tainted by a Young couple with 3 children. 1 baby in a carriage Screaming for 30 minutes, 2 brat boys banging utensils and plates on the table while the parents tried to negotiate with them to be quiet. These parents allowed 5 tables with adults trying to enjoy their dinner. The management moved us to another room, and did their best to move the disruptors out of the restaurant. My had goes off to our waiter and the manager for their extra effort.

    Everything was 10 out of 10 except for the dinnerware which is poorly designed and obnoxiously difficult to keep your flatware on. May want to retrain those responsible for these types of purchases.

    First visit to Ario. Celebration birthday dinner. Overall, I was disappointed. There is a view, but we were tucked in a corner with over grown plants, we couldn't see much around us. Our waitress was very nice and accommodating. However, in general, there was a long lag in between courses. Not that we were in a hurry, but dinner took a long time. Food was good. Some was cold. Stick with a steak! Overall, thot it was over priced for what it was.
