We had a wonderful dinner here for family of 6. 3 of us did the 3 courses for $40 and the others ordered from the main menu. Drinks and food were marvelous, and the service was quite attentive. Menu was unique and all dishes were delicious!!
We did Magical Dining. The food was amazing. The portion size was more than expected. We had to take 1/2 of our meal home. Our service by Constance and the other servers that assisted was wonderful. Could not ask for more. Will definitely visit again. I had the filet and my friend had the kangaroo. Both are worth having again.
My Fiancée and I went there on a whim and it was an amazing experience. We will definitely be back!
It was a great date night. Food was great- service was superb. everyone was attentive. However, I recommend reservations and to make sure you choose wisely about seating. We were at a high top near the entrance so there was a lot going on and for someone who pays attention to my surrounding way too much, it was a lot of stimulation. But the people and food made everything great!
We were excited to try Aurora! Ambiance as we walked in was nice. Try to book later; it's prettier at night. I love the Celestial theme. Our servers were also good - Bekah and her trainee, Ryan were attentive. The food was very good. We started with Duck Nachos. A slight point off because the cheese overpowered the duck a bit. Moving on to the Southern Kangaroo. Surprisingly delicious! The best part of our meal. The majority of the point deduction was for desert. 30 minutes after main dish was cleared, we were still sitting waiting for dessert. It had been so long we no longer wanted dessert. Apparently they were still making the bread pudding. This should have been noted way earlier (we went for Magical Dining and everything was ordered up front) or if there was some unforeseen delay (initial batch burned, etc) then we should have been notified/offered options. I had ordered the Super Nova, which is a dish served with ice cream, so having dessert to go was not really the best. A good dinner ruined by poor timing
We had the Magical Dining Menu. For the appetizer I had the shrimp cocktail. It was a large serving and delicious. For my entrée I selected the Bison Barbecue Ribs. Again it was a large serving. It came with vegetables and truffle potato wedges. The ribs were tender with a great flavor. For dessert we select the supernova. What a fantastic dessert! It was worth every penny of the $10 up charge. It was a chocolate balloon, filled with ice cream over a brownie with a delicious caramel sauce poured over the top which melted the chocolate . I will definitely be back!
Great food and even better service.

We had such a terrific time at Aurora last night. The seafood boil was bountiful and delicious while our server was super attentive and helpful. Looking forward to dining at Aurora again soon!
Our first time at the Aurora and a seafood boil. We had a great time. Food was excellent and I hope they have another one. Constance was our server. She was so attentive and made our first time at the Aurora fun. We will be back!

When I couldn't modify my reservation through the ap, I called the restaurant and was able to speak to a real live person who listened and made the changes without a hint of impatience. Our server didn't rush us when we were indecisive, and answered our questions patiently. Out of what we ordered we liked best the goat empanadas, the filet (so tender) and the Supernova desert.

We had such a wonderful experience! We were celebrating my mom’s 50th birthday yesterday, and everything was absolutely perfect. From my initial phone call just to inquire and book the reservation. It was pleasant. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff went above and beyond to make our celebration special. Everyone was incredibly kind and accommodating. They even gave my mother a signed birthday card from the staff. The food was delicious!! every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The kids even got these cute little rocketship cups with their meals! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend for any special occasion or just a great meal out! Kiah was our server and she was very helpful, has a great sense of humor and she was very sweet! I wish I remember the lady name who I booked the reservation with because she was the absolute best! She helped everything come together so nicely!

With a 6:30pm reservation we were told when we arrived on time that our table was not ready yet
We patiently waited in the hotel lobby where the hotel fragrance was an absolutely offensive intense assault on my sinuses. It was soupy with the smell and it was also triggering to my asthma.
Thankfully there was an option to wait outside.
We were seated at 7pm
Once we were sat, the hostess was lovely and Kiah made it all right again!! She was delightful and attentive and kind
Our meal was fantastic and we chose from the Bite30 menu
I had the seafood chowder which was soooooo good!! Generous amounts of seafood in a thick soup - I could’ve eaten 10 servings
We also had the duck nachos which were also delicious. But the cheese was a little on the Velveeta side (sorry to sound offensive)
I had the salmon over risotto for my main, and Justin had the kangaroo katsu. They were both delicious.
I left nothing on my plate. It was so satisfying.
Justin said his kangaroo was super, although a lot was going on on the plate that was distracting. But he still loved it.
The bread pudding was ridiculously fantastic as was the pistachio cake
All in all, the evening was wonderful, and the entire staff was kind and accommodating

This place is awesome!
Such a beautiful restaurant to enjoy a special occasion, date night, or a fun meal with family and friends. There's also a really nice bar area too. And plenty of places to lounge and relax.
