The Asian-influenced tapas style menu showcases seasonal and local provisions of the Orlando community in innovative dishes that Executive Chef for Thriving Hospitality, Ryan Stewart, has meticulously developed.Lamp & Shade's comprehensive beverage program features riffs on tiki classics tying back to the influential Asian roots of cocktails, pairing nicely with Chef’s selection of Asian inspired faire.

We had a great thanksgiving dinner! The turkey was moist. The butternut squash soup is my favorite and I’m always so happy they have it each year. The staff is always friendly and Juan, Samantha, Tricia , Mallory, Joe. all came by to say hello. Jocelyn was our server and was very attentive. My husbands mother always loves to come with us for Thanksgiving and I love not having to cook or do dishes 🤣. Thank you for another wonderful Thanksgiving dinner!

We have been enjoying holiday brunches at the Aurora for years and I think it just gets better and better each time. So glad to have Chef Mike back - he and his team do an amazing job! The selection of food and overall quality is top notch. But, my goodness, that dessert selection is unsurpassed! 🤤 Our service was somewhat less than ideal today. We had to ask several times for drinks and refills. Towards the end, we asked 2 times for water refills and never got them. Thankfully, being a buffet, this is the only thing we had to rely on our server for, so it is what it is. Maybe set water pitchers around in the future. Otherwise, this was yet another exceptional experience and our holiday was brighter for it! Thanks for taking time away from your families to host us! We’re eager to see what Christmas brings!
