Aura is a neighborhood restaurant that celebrates how food, drink, people, and atmosphere come together
Aura is inspired by the banks of the Mediterranean, the spirit of family, the crisp coolness of a just caught oyster, the vibrancy of farm fresh vegetables, and the spirit of, “il dolce far niente.”

Here at Aura, we pride ourselves on hospitality, with a focus on memorable moments, whether you’re coming in for a small bite and a glass of wine at the bar, an intimate dinner with friends, or a large celebration.

Our menus are inspired by our culture, our seasonal ingredients, and our travels… and we welcome you to share your aura with us. We hope to see you soon.

    Waited 50 mins for our table along with many other customers who also had long waits with their reservations. We had an 8pm reservation for 4 people and they did not seat us until 8:50pm. They did comp us 1 appetizer for the long wait. It also took a long time for the entrees to be served.

    Food was very good- Harvest salad, Branzino and Salmon. I hate those narrow, long 2 top tables. Every time my husband and I wanted to talk we had to bend in towards each other because we were far apart and the noise level was high. Go, but not on Saturday night.

    Our only experience was last night, New Year’s Eve, 2024. It was quite dimly lit. I prefer enough light so as not to struggle to read the menu. It may not be fair because the place was packed, so due to New Year’s Eve there was both a band and a DJ. We were on the other end of the restaurant and we couldn’t hear each other talking. We were a party of 6 so we all enjoyed our food, however, I ordered scallops and only got 5. Although I had a nice appetizer, I still left hungry. We felt like we should return in a few weeks to see if things have improved. As of now, I’d give it 3 stars.

    We all had a great experience at aura. The restaurant is so attractively decorated. The hostess was very welcoming. The service staff came around and filled our water consistently. The quality and appearance of the food was lovely! We all enjoyed our meals immensely. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and we will certainly be back. It was my second time there so we invited friends to share the wonderful experience.
