   This was our second time eating there and it was just as great as the first time. Delicious and the service was incredible. Felt like we were in an upscale restaurant in Manhattan!

   We only came for Sunday brunch, so it's hard to fully judge the overall food quality. Eggs are eggs—just make sure to get the order right! Service was a bit all over the place, though generally accommodating. The food was mostly ordinary, with the one standout being the thick-cut bacon in maple syrup (delicious!). Portions were large, but the price felt steep—$300 for 4 adults and 2 kids, without any cocktails.

   We love this restaurant and go often. There was a large gap of time between the appetizer and main courses…otherwise the food was exceptional.

   Love the ambiance of the restaurant. The food was delicious, love the choices especially the Specials. Cocktails were delicious. Even though we had a reservation set for 8 pm, there was a bit of a wait but not too long. Overall I enjoyed it and yes I will definitely recommend Aura and return.

    Reservations? Pointless. Might as well be a walk in. I made a 7pm reservation for 4 and when I walked in the hostess told me “there’s multiple parties ahead of you you can feel free to have a drink at the bar”. Why would there be multiple parties ahead of me if I had a reservation???? I was seated at 7:50pm. At first they tried to seat us at a high top next to the bar. That is not a reservation table. Once we were finally seated we waited 20-25 minutes for our waitress to find us and wasn’t even poured water until they asked for our apps order. The staff all looked very confused as if they were selected off the street and thrown into the restaurant without being told how the restaurant runs. My steak came rare and I ordered it medium. When we ordered a second round of drinks we would wait at least 20 minutes and then have to inquire where the drinks were. I ordered for dessert a strawberry espresso martini which was very good by the way. But I had asked for baileys and was handed a drink that was not made with baileys. When I had told the waitress it was incorrect she responded “can you at least try it first”. That is not what I ordered and I should not be instructed to “at least try it” when I’m paying over $20 for a cocktail. Not only was the service subpar at best but I was seated an hour after my reservation and not once did they offer to comp anything. The food was good and this was my first time attending and was looking forward to it but unfortunately we will not be returning as I do not think it is acceptable to wait an hour to be seated when you have a reservation. When you go to a restaurant and pay $84 for a steak and over $25 for cocktails I would expect the service to be better.
