What a great meal. This is a great restaurant. Our meal was very reasonably priced and the quantity and quality was excellent. The staff is always polite and energetic, you never feel rushed. I highly recommend this restaurant.

The food portion size was very good but the main dishes lacked flavor and were bland. The waitstaff were very nice, but the food delivery was rushed and very quickly tossed in front of us. It's a very pretty restaurant, but too pricey for the food quality and service.

This is the first time we have been disappointed in our experience at Aura. Not not was the server slow (and a bit snarky) but the food for 3 out of 4 of us was disappointing. We've been happy in the past but this time was noticeably different.

We celebrated our anniversary at Cafe Aura and we weren't disappointed. The appetizer beet salad was delicious with just the right amount of candied walnuts. Our entrees, red snapper and veal marsala were superb. We shared a gluten-free creme brulee for desert and it was light and sweet. Just right. The service, from entry to table, was quite good. It was certainly worth a special night out.

Parking is plentiful. Ambience is relaxing and luxe. Even though it was a busy Friday evening, it was easy to converse with my table mates. Food was excellent (home made pasta!) and good portion size. Server was efficient and served us complimentary champagne to celebrate my friend's retirement. Just missed seeing Geno!

We’ve catered from Café Aura multiple times over the past few years for our men’s college basketball team, and the experience has been excellent every time. The food is consistently high-quality--fresh, flavorful, and always well-received by the team. The attention to detail and level of service are top-notch, making the entire process smooth and dependable. A special thank you to Todd, who ensures everything is handled with care and professionalism. Café Aura has become a reliable choice for us, and we truly appreciate their consistency and commitment to excellence.

Unfortunately, despite our genuine interest in visiting Cafe Aura and our respect for its owner, the experience was disappointing. The food did not meet our expectations: the calamari and veal, both deep-fried, were excessively greasy, and the breading was very heavy. The veal in particular lacked any distinct flavor — all we could taste was the oil from the fryer. Additionally, the pizza was served cold, and the service was quite slow and inattentive. It’s a pity, as we came with high hopes for a pleasant evening. Sadly, this turned out to be our first and likely last visit.
A very nice restaurant. Great food and service. Thank you

Six of us went to celebrate a birthday on a Friday night. The food was marvelous. The atmosphere was so much better than I expected. The server was average. Good help is hard to find these days.

The calamari is an excellent starter. The ny strip was very good but the au gratin potato's should be taken off the menu and replaced with french fries. A steak frites entree on the menu would be great. Frank and Shannon are superb at the bar!
