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.

    We had the Thursday special food and drink pairing. It was Moroccan night. Although I’m not a fan of spicy food, I found the small amount of spice enhanced the taste of the fish I had. The two drinks with the meal were excellent although the expresso martini at dessert was not to my taste but I was too full to care. Service and ambiance was great Highly recommend

    I was hoping that the new restaurant takeover from the previous restaurant would have been good. However, we waited ten minutes for the receptionist, the acoustics were still terrible and the Mediterranean choices reminded me more of a steakhouse. The salad and lamb chop was good but not good enough to want to return.

    A quick review… well outed drinks… the “Kami”was excellent. For appetizers the Octopus was tender and tasty. As was the Harvest Salad, but the waitress Yarielis said that they wouldn’t split it in 2… we would have to do it ourselves. ( We were sharing the octopus and salad). This was a negative for a pricy restaurant. The filet of sole was delicious and well prepared, but the Salmon was actually tasteless and somewhat overcooked. Worst of all, the noise level is like a nightclub… totally unacceptable. And the staff, rushing around knocked into my chair 7 times, and the table next to us at the corner of the row had it even worse. Ah well !!
