   i don’t usually leave reviews, but unfortunately our experience here on this particular night makes me hope that by writing one the restaurant will do better in the future. i had a 5:00 reservation for two of us as a pre-show dinner. seems this was also true for the majority of their seatings at this time. in fact they had sat so many of us at once, their servers were running rampant, can’t even imagine what the kitchen must’ve been going through, and they were clearly not appropriately prepared/staffed for this amount of diners. sadly it made the whole experience more nerve-wracking and far less relaxing and enjoyable as we were hoping. we got sat around 5:05, a server approached us rather quickly and got us water, but then from there it went completely downhill. no exaggerating when i tell you that we did not get our drinks until 6:30, after we said that we’d need to cancel our entire order, because no food had come out for us yet either, and we were needing to leave within moments of that time. we were not the only ones, looking around there were several other tables that were frustrated, experiencing the same, and also needing to get out to make the show. our server was apologetic, and we understood that it was not his fault, as we felt bad for him too. the whole thing could’ve been avoided, had they monitored (and limited) the amount of reservations that they allowed all at once and staffed accordingly.

   Restaurant in a unique space themed hotel. One of my favorite restaurants. They tend to update the menu often and always have great food options.

   Had lunch during UCF spring break with few patrons, which made lunch very enjoyable for a business lunch. Food was excellent. I wish there were more lunch priced items available.

   This was our third visit to Aurora in as many months. This place has turned into our go-to restaurant because it meets our expectations every time. The food is delicious and plated well, the service is great and the ambiance is very pleasant. Hotel Celeste where Aurora is located is modern, clean and very welcoming. I highly recommend without hesitation.
