Food and service are outstanding. Celebrated our Anniversary. The staff and manager were very friendly and attentive. The food was excellent and worth the price. Shall return soon.

The food here is always amazing. My father visits every year and he always wants to come to auroras for dinner at least twice a stay. The food is always flavorful and delicious. My whole family loves eating here.

Our first visit to Aurora was during magical dining, and it was truly a magical experience. Food was delicious, service was excellent, and drinks were delicious. We had such a great experience that we decided to invite a group of friends to join us for a birthday celebration. This experience was the complete opposite of our first experience. I sliced my finger on a sharp nail that was sticking out of the bottom of the chair seat when I scooted up to the table. It took the waiter four trips to the bar to bring eight drinks, and he placed his fingers along the rim of the glasses when setting them down, which was very unsanitary considering he was picking up dirty dishes off of tables in between serving food and drinks. Two people had the chicken, and it was super dry, and the broccoli was way overcooked. I had the salmon, and it too was a small, thin portion and was very dry, with overcooked broccoli. Three people ordered the fish and said it was good but nothing special. The filet was good, and the two people who ordered the veal tomahawk said it was very good. The appetizers were good but nothing I would order again besides the arancini with was delicious. The overall experience was very disappointing and the food was ridiculously overpriced based on the quality that we received. I ordered the same drink as the first time we dined there and it wasn't even close to being as good. None of the nine of us will be back to dine at Aurora.

We had a 3:00 PM seating, and upon being seated we were informed that the buffet would be closing at 3:30. I wasn't aware it would be such a quick turnaround, as I believed it ended later when I booked. Everyone we interacted with was very kind and attentive. However, since the buffet was near closing, some food items were not replenished and a few dishes tasted like they had been sitting for a while. If we decide to attend again next year, I would definitely be more mindful of the seating time, as the experience would likely be better earlier in the service.

Food was good and abundant. Service was very slow. Our dining area was not in the restaurant but rather in a conference room. Overall experience was not worth the cost per person plus automatic gratuity

Aurora at Celeste was a great choice - the setting was well done and the food was great. The only complaint was that for a large size room full of customers there to enjoy the occasion, there was a "shortage" of staff -- service was not that great
Sandy
This was the absolute best buffet we've ever been to. The multiple and diverse food stations were amazing, and everything was delicious. And all of the wait staff and servers were so nice and cheerful. It was a wonderful experience and are thinking of making this a new holiday tradition.
Jaime
The whole buffet was amazing. The only complaint we had was that there was so much variety we got too full before we could try everything.
Bonnie
We had a fantastic experience at the Christmas buffet. The food stations were filled to the brim with quality, beautiful food. This is our third time going to the Christmas buffet and it's always been a delightful experience.
Courtney
The setup, service and the ambiance was absolutely incredible. Will be back. The variety of food choices and diversity were stellar.. there was a child using his hands to get sprinkles out of the bowl instead of a spoon. Children under the age of 12 should not be allowed to walk buffet without an adult and there should be signage stating to use all utensils.
We really enjoy this restaurant, we are repeat customers. The food was very good and exceptionally prepared and plated. The wait staff is very considerate and wants to ensure everyone has what they need throughout dinner. Rotating dinner selections are appreciated and the price point is reasonable for the quality of food presented.
Erika
Great food, excellent cocktails, and exceptional service. Even the parking attendant was super nice and helpful.
Kelly
The staff was very kind and accommodating when we needed to adjust our reservation time last minute, which we really appreciated. When we arrived, there was a bit of a wait and some initial confusion with seating, and service was a slow once we were settled. A few buffet items weren't as hot as expected, but there was still a nice variety overall. The highlights were definitely the festive atmosphere—Santa and the singers were wonderful—and our kids loved the cookie decorating and hot cocoa station. Despite a few hiccups, it was a memorable and fun holiday morning for our family!

The food was excellent. From the selection of cheeses to salads to the carving station, the breakfast, the pastas, and the desserts, there were choices for days. And everything was prepared beautifully. The service was impeccable. Oscar and Ryan were exceptional and saw to it that the drinks flowed and we had everything we could possibly want.
