    Service was great. Bartender was great. Appetizers were excellent. Dinner was not so good. 3 out of 4 thought that dinner was fair. Very expensive for fair food.

    The ambiance was exquisite, warm and provides that high end upscale feeling that most restaurants in the area lack. The food was outstanding, everything we ate was chocked full of amazing flavor profiles and cooked to perfection especially my wife's salmon entree, which is usually overcooked at most restaurants because she prefers it medium rare. The chocolate mousse was equally outstanding. Now for a few of the negatives that need improvement in my opinion. The service level was lacking for this upscale price point, we waited for the better part of 15 minutes after being seated to receive our cocktails. We had to order our entire meal at once, which makes you feel rushed and as a result our entrees came out before the bottle of wine we ordered throwing the entire flow of the meal off and you should not be made to feel rushed when you are spending good money. The place is overall fantastic, but hopefully they can make a few changes to make the entire experience memorable. We will be back to give them a second chance, because I am not a one and done type or foodie.

    First time at Aura and was very pleased. Lovely dining atmosphere, and tables not on top of one another. My branzino was cooked perfectly and I enjoyed the crispy skin on top. My husband ordered the spicy homemade pasta and loved it. I on the other hand found it way too spicy to eat. The Aura salad was a Greek salad and tasted just like the ones we ate in Greece. Fantastic choice for an appetizer. The only disappointment was the apple tart with hazelnut ice cream. The tart was terribly dry. I regret not sending it back All in all I look forward to returning to this classy restaurant.
