About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Great for creative cocktails
Hot spot

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.

Highly recommend Aura. We arrived on time for a 6:30 reservation on a Sat night. Dining room was nearly full but we were seated immediately. Service was very attentive. Drinks - terrific. Food was amazing - one pork chop, one salmon and a side of Brussels sprouts which were a standout. Everything was hot, delicious and plated beautifully; generous portions. Dessert was some amazing gelato and decaf cappucino. The bill was very reasonable for a nice night out. When we left around 8, dining room was still full and bar was bustling. Great to see! We will certainly be back!

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.
