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.

We found Aura to be too noisy with loud music played by a DJ. Not the place for a nice Sunday brunch. I had the burger which was ok and my husband had the avocado toast which was great. If you like to have a conversation while having your meal, this is not the place for you.

The ambiance was nice, however, the food was not good. My halibut was over cooked and dry. Honestly, it tasted as though it was frozen and they microwaved it. The appetizer was awful. Even the desserts were bad. Not worth what they charge. Very disappointing. The only saving grace was the staff.

We had a very nice waitress who was attentive to our wants and needs. When she brought our drinks, she accidentally dropped a glass of wine and it spilled on someone who was with me. Her jacket and pants got wet. They cleaned up and replaced the wine. I felt they should have offered us something on the house.
