    The food was brilliant We waited a long while for service to the table considering it being a quiet night of the week We were also not impressed with the lack of knowledge around the menu and drinks menu and didn’t feel overall it was value for money as things were added to the bill at the end that we hadn’t asked for The food itself was superb

    Fantastic experience, lovely food. Service could have been a little quicker. Seemed like a long lull in between services.

    I took my Fiancé to Aura for her 29th birthday from the moment we arrived to the second we left the service was impeccable, Rhodri was our waiter and gave us exemplary service we also had service from Jess who was just as attentive and enthusiastic. The cocktails were speedy and well made, I didn’t catch the name of the bar mar but hats off to you my good man. The food was amazing hats off for the kitchen team tonight, the prawns we had as a starter were cooked to perfection. My Partner had an amazing evening. Thank you so much.

    We had the most amazing Sunday Roast at Aura. The staff were so friendly, accommodating and lovely from the beginning. The food was incredible, the best Sunday roast we’ve had out! Cocktails were delightful and the bar staff were very helpful. I would 100% recommend.
