I only went to have a few drinks at the bar. The staff was so warm and friendly that it felt like we were all long time buddies. I ended up have appetizers and desert and the food was delicious. Rightly price too when you factor their location. Good vibes

Food was at best 'ordinary' we expected way more with their prices. The thing that annoyed me most was that I definitely didn't enjoy the food and that's what I was there for. I thought that a restaurant with Michelin stars was awarded the rating for their food , I was wrong. I left remarks similar to this review at the restaurant site and was left a return comment that the food was 'sub' par because we didn't attend the main restaurant ? Indeed we did attend the main restaurant and chose options from the main menu. Don' waste your money chasing the Michelin star experience here you won't receive it. Just an honest review.

We had lunch here and it was delicious. We had the Roasted Icelandic Cod - shellfish caponata, sea foam, basil and the Caramelized Sonoma Chicken - herbed gnocchi, baby brussels, onion chutney, chanterelles. It’s definitely worth a visit and I will certainly come back.

Quite a bad experience - booked the restaurant for my dad's birthday for 6pm . We arrived and they overbooked the restaurant that day : as a result 30 minutes later we chose to leave (since we had a show at 8pm). The host was quite rude and said "don't worry - no matter if you write a bad review or not - we'll be just okay". This is a great example of how NOT to do customer service : (1) screw up reservation for multiple guests on an important date (2) act non-chalant and not own up to the mistake. I suggest people to save their time and book another restaurant instead.

We’ve celebrated my partner’s 30th birthday in New York and we’ve chosen Aureole for our last dinner. Have to say it was a perfect experience from the first second as we walked in until we left. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. The sommelier’s wine recommendation was perfect with the tasting menu, he pointed the wine what we exactly wanted. Paco our waiter was very polite, explained every dish very well and also added an extra course for our dinner. Angie (sorry if I spell it wrong) was also amazing and helpful. Every course was perfectly made and I have to say we had the best steak ever!!! Melted in my mouth, tasty and tender, just perfect. And the dessert was the cherry on top, ice cream wrapped in brownie and cereal, deep fried with gold leaf on top. I wish we could visit NY more often! Thank you for the unforgettable birthday dinner, you guys made our night very special! We will be back!

Was so excited to go here- went with a group of 8 people and started out great as the wine service was lovely. I soon felt the wait staff needed more training since I told the waiter I'd like a salad with dressing on the side and he told me "Oh they don't put too much dressing on the salads." Since I dine out often in New York City I know how I like my expensive meals ! I also found the salad very disappointing as well as the entire meal. I was hoping the part of my meal I had wrapped to go would have been fine but they doused it with dressing so I had to throw it in the garbage.I'm sorry it went down this way. I wish it had been better.

First class food with excellent service Dover sole and duck breast cooked to perfection. Foie gras splendid and octopus was a tender delight. This on a busy Saturday evening. Very nice busy ambience, very enjoyable evening.
My wife and I made a 6:00 p.m. reservation and arrived promptly. Unfortunately, the manager, Enrique, told us it would take 20 minutes to be seated because others were finishing. After 30 minutes passed, he continued to tell us a table would be free shortly. Finally, at 6:40, we had to pull the plug and race across the street to rush through a meal at Charlie Palmers because it was clear we weren't going to get a table any time soon at Aureole. Other customers were in the same situation, including a couple that had made a reservation for 5:45 and was still waiting after nearly an hour. We barely made it to our Broadway show on time. Aureole's lack of organization and the manager's lack of honesty made for an extremely stressful dining experience. Next time I'll go someplace with less name cache and more reliable service.

This place has slipped from what it's reputation once was. The quality of the fish was bad. In NYC, you can find good fish at Avra, Esca, and Tanoshi Sushi. The fish at Aureole had that second day fishy smell. The preparation of the fish was uninspired. I may have had better halibut at a junior high school cafeteria.

Aureole is ideally located just around the corner from the New Year's ball-dropping area of Times Square and therefore so close to the Theater District. Subway, buses and Grand Central Terminal are all within a ten-minute walk--parking would be a challenge and expensive. Not an outdoor restaurant but inside an exquisite motif featuring an above-floor wine room display over the bar. We were seated in the rear of the restaurant where our corner booth allowed us a view of the floor. Our server Otilia was great in getting us situated and inquiring whether we had a Broadway show to attend that evening (we did); she promised us we would be out in time to make it to the theater (we did!). We took advantage of the Restaurant Week: I ordered the marinated octopus, croquet and steak with dessert and added a wine pairing for each course. Everything was better than expected, served on time at the right temperature and without a rush so that we enjoyed our meal and conversation. Aureole is worth keeping on the list of favorite eateries!

We came here 2 years ago and we had an awesome meal. That’s why we decided to come back for the restaurant week. Completely different experience. The service was very slow and not attentive (we asked to have cocktails and wine at the same time, they said “of course “, but did not happen, we asked for 3 wine pairings and we got 4, etc). Food was bad pub style.They did not even ask how we wanted the steak cooked (of course it came overcooked).
