This was an experience unlike any I’ve had. Guests walk into a cozy dining room—it’s like walking into a warm (but well decorated) family home. The dining experience is intimate and by the end of the seventh course we all feel a bit like family. Both ambiance and food are playful and elevated. Every dish on the 1/10/25 menu was immaculate: flavorful and intentional. Truly hospitality rooted in love, and you can taste it in every bite. Chef Aaron’s heartfelt story telling invited me to reminisce about my own connection to place, food and memory. An unforgettable night with the magic makers at Astera —thankful to each of them for their care and gifts. Deep gratitude to you all.

Beautiful atmosphere, staff were so friendly. Fantastic food. worth every penny! I will be back. The semi-communal model was great. Chef was charismatic. The server recommended a wine, and it paired wonderfully with the meal.

We went for the Sunday afternoon preset meal. It was delicious. The chef was so passionate and walked us through every dish. Such unique and fancy ingredients. The dishes were small but filling and numerous. The tastes were fantastic. The king oyster, noodles, carpaccio, and chocolate ganache were some of the best dishes I have had in a while. Highly recommend!

The place is cozy with limited seating. The chef is very charismatic and describes all the dishes. Everything is vegan and mostly local. The food is beautiful and with many flavors and sensations. I highly recommend coming, not only to vegans

A flavor-gasm in every bite. I was absolutely impressed with the cuisine, staff, and vibe. I expected a high end, maybe a bit stiff, and quiet atmosphere. Instead I was provided with a fun, boisterous yet laid back, still high end experience. The serving of each course was thoughtfully timed out, as to give you enough time to savor and discuss the dish with your table or others around you, but not too long to leave you starving for the next course. Chef Aaron makes you feel at home by walking about the space, explaining dishes, how certain foods are made, and telling stories of his youth. Every staff member seems like they are a tight knit family member and they are all very welcoming and attentive. I feel lucky to have had such an experience in my life.
