Aura Restaurant & Lounge

Took our grown daughter to dinner for her birthday. Everything was perfect. Cocktails-imaginative and well done. Quality ingredients and creatively decorated. Wine options were good (and we are picky). Appetizers-very good and flexible with item quantities adjusted to match our group size. We love the mini beef Wellingtons. Main Dish-All were good, but the strip steak special was particularly good. Good amount of food. We ordered one extra vegetable for the table of four and had plenty. Dessert-lots of good choices. Lava cake was decadent with my last sips of wine. All the desserts were excellent. Service-very, very good. Food was delivered together. Wine orders were delivered timely with the food. Checked on regularly, but not intrusive.

We went to Aura for the first time tonight for a spontaneous date night and were absolutely blown away! Fantastic service from our very kind waitress. Everything she recommended from the miniature beef wellingtons to the New York strip was delicious and full of flavor. The chefs here really know what they’re doing. Can’t recommend the seasonal panna cotta enough!

Why have I not heard of this sooner? My wife and I went here for a casual dinner date started off with brussels sprouts, stuff’d mushrooms, and the crabcakes. forgot to mention the bottle of wine. We finished off with the walleye risotto and we’re so full. We can’t wait to come back. thank you so much - Excellent service.

Went with a large group ~ 25. Food was great as was the atmosphere, but the staff was amazing; coordinating, accommodating, and incredibly efficient. Aura is polished and professional.

The food and the drinks were great. The only thing that I personally didn't care for was all the sauce in my dish which was the filet. Just a little much for me. Other than that, excellent !

Nick always takes such good care of us! We appreciate you letting us having a meeting & happy hour! Drinks are always amazing!

A five star host at the Clive Chamber of Commerce trick or treat! 🎃

This was our first time here and we absolutely loved it! Jordan did an amazing job! Food and service was excellent! We will be back!

I ordered the gnocchi with steak, medium rare. The sauce was so heavy, felt more like a thick gravy. The steak was tough and rare. The truffle fries were thick cut, not my choice. My friend had the risotto and said it was terrible. The stuffed mushroom were ok, and Brussels were good. The servers were really nice people just very slow, took over 2 hours for 3 people.

Love the vibe here! Menu is pretty short, not alot of option. But foods was execellent. Got the dumplings 8/10 salad 7/10 , soup du jour 10/10, Salmon entree 9/10 bluleé cheesecake 7/10 🍽 Will definitely comeback with some more people ❤️

This was our first time here. Our server was fabulous. He really helped us decide our food choices by explaining the finer points of each dish we queried. He was totally on point. The food was fabulous. I'll help you out...get the salmon!!! The only drawback to our evening was the four-top seated near our booth. Loud. And their subject matter, which I will save you from hearing about, was so totally inappropriate for a public space. No fault of the restaurant, but I was very thrilled to have them move on. We will go back and hope to get the very back booth.

The service was top tier! The drinks were delicious. The food is pricey but delish! The only dissapointment was the change to the carrots on the sides and small plates menu. They were previously sweet and spicy glazed carrots and they changed to roasted carrots that lacked flavor.

Great staff that let us adjust seating after we changed our minds. We really liked the walnut slab decor and our food was all delicious. Add crab cakes to your meal, you won't regret it.
