    The food was ok. We had the pesto which was under seasoned and the short ribs with mashed potatoes. The potatoes were a bit gluey. Ambience was fine, but we were underwhelmed.

    There were no prices on the menu, and we didn't know until we arrived that they only had 2 entrees to choose from.

    Surprised this place wasn't packed. The food was really delicious! The wife had the chicken fried NY strip and I had the short rib with the asparagus risotto. We were both very pleased with our selections and ended up sharing both dishes. The portions were quite generous as well. Especially the chicken fried NY strip. It almost covered the entire plate. All in all we had a great experience & we'll put this place in the date night rotation. 👍

    NYE dinner service slow, bar service slow, even when crowd cleared out and there were few people in the restaurant. Food was just ok. The place is cute and staff was friendly, just slow. Will be back to try again, though, especially to try brunch.

    Exceeded all our expectations! The food is fantastic! Do yourself a favor- reserve a space tonight and don’t skip dessert. The staff is helpful, friendly and the place has a great energy. We will definitely return!

    Aurora doesn’t have a stuffy vibe. From the outside it looks like a casual eatery. You will see those dressed up for date night and those who are casual. The food is amazing. Short ribs that melt in your mouth. Risotto done right. Don’t skip over this gem! Your tastebuds will thank you.

    We made reservations for 6pm, but didn’t need them because there were plenty of tables on this Thursday evening. We had perfect service. The food was delicious and had a “homemade from scratch” taste. The short rib came with asparagus risotto. The meat was perfectly tender and flavorful, and the risotto was the best I’ve ever tasted. I would definitely order it again. We also ordered the lemon honey roasted half chicken with a side of the same asparagus risotto. Again, it was delicious. My daughter had the pesto pasta that came with a generous sprinkling of roasted hazelnuts. She added chicken to the pesto pasta and said that it was very good. We’ll be back. It’s a perfect walk to the Lyric Theatre across the street.
