From signature cocktails to the variety of meal choices (seafood, steak, pasta) Aurora does not disappoint. If you're able to get a spot at the bar during happy hour, discounted drinks and appetizers are also a plus! The staff are professional, attentive and friendly from beginning to end. Definitely worth going!👍👍👍😋

What a delicious meal at Aurora!!! Our server Baka was great! We got the seafood paella with linguine and it was exquisite. The seafood was cooked to perfection and the flavor of the sauce was amazing! It was much better than your typical paella!! They gave you a whole lobster, it was so worth the price and was so much for two people!!! The spicy pear margarita was great as well!!! Enis the manager was also so friendly and inviting making you want to come back!! We are looking forward to coming back this summer to get it all again!!!

Had high school graduation party with over 40 guests. The management was accommodating; the staff was so helpful; the food was great and everyone complimented the venue.

I love going to Aurora because the food is delicious and plentiful and the staff is always friendly and attentive. The ambiance has a nice vibe to it, somewhat sleek and upscale but also with a cozy and comfortable small town feel. They also have plenty of space inside the restaurant to host parties of various sizes, which was a big hit for my birthday earlier this year. You won't be disappointed choosing Aurora.

We ordered 2 appetizers: The Aroura chips were awesome. And the shrimp/avocado salad is so different and plentiful. Entrees were cooked perfectly. Service good, above average price wise, but the good food/service/atmosphere made it worthwhile.

Excellent spot! Ambiance: place is absolutely gorgeous! Beautiful florals, crisp clean and modern. Gets a bit noisy when there are a bunch of people, but you can still hear people at your table easily Food: blown away by the food in the best way! We had the lamb shank, veal meatballs, calamari, cheeseburger. Everything was fantastic. The 3 course meal is a steal! Choice of appetizer, entree and dessert for $28.50. Highly recommend the grilled artichoke for app. Drinks: had the cucumber martini. Very good but a bit pricey on the drink prices ($17) Service: everyone was very nice, but at first they were a bit slow. Also, our waitress never came back after our entrees came out, but they also had 3 separate parties that came in at once. Even though she never came back, the other waiter and manager immediately took care of us. All in all, we can't wait to come back!! Key notes: they have high chairs, but no real kids menu (chicken finger platter at $18) and the parking lot is huge
The staff were friendly and tremendously helpful. The food was amazing and presented beautifully. The unique home made mushroom ravioli was completely tasty and the grilled chicken topped with spinach and Greek Salad left me with a feeling of eating home made and homegrown fare. You don't want to miss out on this dining experience!

Food is always consistent. Love their piaya We sat close to the bar , which was Loud and jumping. But not overwhelming. Will be back again soon
Opentable Diner
It took 15 minutes for the waiter to ask us about drinks. It took 40 min for our entries to come out and 20 min for the appetizers (salad soup calamari). The waiter did not check on us during dinner to refresh drinks or ask about the meal is and the hostess needed to push the waiter to come to our table. Food was excellent.
