EVERYTHING I have ever tried here is amazing! First experience was Thanksgiving for a party of 8. We literally got one of everything off the menu and let’s just say zero left overs! The empanadas are OUT OF THIS WORLD! The drink menu is Astrology themed and if you are into space/ astronauts the decor will excite you! There is even a couple selfie photo spots that are space themed. Desserts are TRULY special get the super nova it’s a whole experience! You will not be dissatisfied at all Truly a favorite spot!
Worst experience ever!!!
They've made our Valentine's date night a nightmare with the cold soup, overcooked/charred Steak and tasteless desserts.
Nothing that I ordered was close to good at all. The food was clearly overpriced at $225 for the taste and the experience overall.
The only good thing was that their service was really good.
Overall it was a nightmare experience for me and my wife. We don't recommend this restaurant to anybody!!!

Very mediocre food! The waitress was friendly and service was excellent but the food itself is so bad. The soup was cold, steak overcooked, the desserts were bland and a bit sour. Not a great experience for a $225 bill.

Terrible memory made.
The steak on my valentine meal was ridiculously over cooked. There was a medium rare wooden flag in brown piece of meat.
When i went to address this the waitress was very apologetic and mentioned it wasn't the 1st time that had happened tonight. The supervisor, Daniel, came over because the manager had left early. He was very non chalant and not apologetic. He said that he recognized it was overcooked and offered me a cocktail even though i was not drinking. This was very disappointing. I thought that a nice place like this would like to save their reputation but it seemed that Daniel did not care when he told me he would check the bill and return but never did. Instead he sent the waitress back out, took my girlfriend's two drinks off the bill and stayed in the back. Never coming back out to apologize for our experience. All this on our 1st Valentines day together which is definitely memorable now. He never even offered to take it off the bill. Why would the manager leave early on Valentines day and leave someone incompetent in charge to damage their image? I would not recommend this establishment to anyone and I feel bad for the waitress staff which was wonderful. Our experience was over $225 and definitely not worth it.

By far one of the worst brunches I've been to. Our beef medallions were beyond overcooked. Same for our over medium eggs. There was a hair in one of our meals. And the manager did barely anything to mediate the situation. The fries and the wannabe big mac sauce were the best part of our meal. 10/10 DO NOT recommend!

We've enjoyed all of our experiences until tonight. Served the cheese board for dessert. It has always been outstanding but when they brought it, we were stunned. It consisted of an orchid petal, a teaspoon of honey cone, 1 bite of brie, 3 halves of thin slices of goat cheese, 4 grapes, one olive, 3 little pieces of candied fruit, and 4 small cubes of another cheese and a little jam crock. It was not shareable so I gave it to my guest and ordered another. When it arrived it, it had the normal variety with toasted baguette slices, candied cheese, nuts, candied and dried fruit, 3 normal slices of goat cheese, a bite of brie and several slices of a cheese with bits of a dried fruit in it along with the teaspoon of honey comb, jam crock and orchid. When I told the waitress that this was more like I had expected, she said maybe they were making up for the first one. Apparently the first one was now the standard. Very disappointing.
Went to the Bite30 and had an outstanding meal starting with the spicy tuna tartare which (on the regular menu). The pompano needs to be added to the menu. The vegetables were perfection with the pompano that there was nothing left on my plate. Mango passion mousse was perfection in size and taste. Every plating was gorgeous.

Very disappointing! Reservation was at 6:30 - ordered apps and food by 7. Currently 8:11 and we're leaving because our dinner was never received. Disappointed because the sliders and empanadas were good so very much looking forward to our meal but was never received (mind you we explained we had a concert at 8. What was even more disappointing is the way the staff handled everything! We asked our waiter around 7:30 when we could expect the food he said he would check never came back. So asked a waitress she couldn't find our waiter. I then for a gentleman with curly hair and a checkered shirt assuming he was management. He said he would check - came back with an attitude saying it was coming and as we proceeded to say we didn't have time to leave he rolled his eyes and said so what you want to just cancel? We said yes and he walked away with attitude- no apology, no asking if there was anything he could do. In fact they brought our check for the appetizers which were I. Happy hour and charged us full price plus soup we never received.
We were late for our concert but paid and left.

We had a delicious dinner at Aurora! The staff and management were attentive and unobtrusive. We enjoyed everything we ordered. Don't miss the supernova but plan to share it with at least one person.

You will not do justice to this incredible food to go early and sneak an extra appetizer. Although a terrific 8.00 deal the portions are to large and conflict with the magical dining menu. I struggled eating everything. The arancini with a spectacular carrot purée was top shelf as was the empanada. Just loaded with oxtail meat I thought could use a tad bit of salt but was ok with the extreme meatiness. The entree s were outstanding. The black garlic pasta had tons of individual tastes that let your mind wonder while enjoying the dish. Chicken was so cool besides being delicious. To continuously fabricate ways to present and add to this dish was miraculously pulled off by a truly exceptional chef. The desert upgrade and beignets. Way to good!!!
