    Love supporting this place in downtown Aurora as it was sooo needed. Great food, great space, my only suggestion would be for a better wine list.

    Great staff, beautifully done inside! Food was not great at all. Would go back for an app and drink at the bar maybe.

    Love this place. The food was delicious and the portions just right . Decor is welcoming and light. We went before a theater performance. My only complaint was there were only 2 servers so service was a little slow which wasn’t an issue until we needed to pay the bill in order to get to the theater in time. We will definitely return.

    Food was very good. Many good options to choose from. Service was a little too quick as we hadn’t finished the appetizers before main course was delivered.

    This place is incredible. First, the food is delicious. Everything is fresh and the flavor combinations can't be topped. Our server was spectacular, checking in on us at just the right times. We were surprised at the value when the bill came. It is exceptionally delicious food at a very reasonable price. I am already dreaming about going back!

    Enjoyable 1st visit to this new restaurant in Aurora. Very nice ambience, clean and presents a great vibe. Our waiter was excellent. While not hovering over us he was attentive and checked on us regularly. The food was good as were the drinks. We will be returning as there are numerous items we want to try on the menu.

    Great vibe and atmosphere. Waited was attentive and food was served timely. Restaurant was cold and I understand the building is older and historic but space heaters or something like a panel or room divider by the front door would help with the cold draft
