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.

    Everyone was friendly. We got our plates and serving tongs after the salad came. We got the steak for 2. We ordered it medium well. It came out well done with the outside burnt. Our server didn’t come back asking if the steak was OK. So we ended up just eating it. It’s was $120 steak for 2. I ended up having to trim the outside taking the burnt parts out so I can eat the steak. Great ambience, but I didn’t think the value matched the product.

    We were in the second room. We enjoyed everything. Just felt there was no ambience.

    Food was amazing. Service was top notch. The tuna tartare was delish, the chicken with butternut squash risotto was super flavorful! Seafood stew and swordfish all a 10/10. No room for dessert, but we will definitely be back!

    Excellent Christmas Eve dining experience with superb food, service and a festive atmosphere to top everything off. We went the route of all appetizers, which were cooked to perfection and bursting was amazing flavor. The hand-crafted cocktails were equally terrific and the 12 days of Christmas drink menu was genius and had a wonderful array of choices!! Two thumbs up for creativity and a way to set yourself apart from the rest of the field for holiday dining.

    Our reservation ran 20 minutes late but the food and the service were great. It was worth the delay. I would highly recommend a trip to Aura.
