Service was slow- food was good though. Maybe a Friday night deemed the poor service- not the waiters fault.

We've been going to Aurora for years. I don't always leave reviews because they'd be redundant. But this time, we brought my Mom who normally doesn't go out to eat but I knew she'd love “Linguini Fini with Clams” and “Prince Edward Island Mussels” (Two of our favorite dishes on the menu). And oh boy did she devour them. She's such a picky eater but she loved every bit of the dish - the sauce, pasta, clams, mussels, and spooned all the liquid because she didn't want to “waste” any of it. Also, what I love about Aurora is that even though it's a very busy and popular restaurant, they know who I am when I make the reservation on Open Table and calls me by my name when I walk in, like they know me even without looking at the reservation. When I call them to change a reservation, they answer the phone by saying my name. Yes, I know “technology” allows them to know who I am but it's still nice that they call me by my name. Pedro the host is very kind and accommodates us best of his ability. The food, ambience, service, drinks, desserts all deserve more than 5 stars. It's a very popular place so you may not like the noise level during the peak hours but that's a very good indicator of a restaurant, no? Go here. You won't regret it. Oh, you'll love the hummus with bread as a starter. We usually ask for more.

Great all around. The location, the staff, the food, and the ambience is exactly what one would expect in the Town of Rye... Look forward to going back already!

The food is delicious and the atmosphere is wonderful. The only issue is that the staff hovers a bit, like they cannot wait to clear your table and get the next reservation in.

We eat here often and the server was very nice as is everyone here. The problem was it took so long to get drinks from the bar. The restaurant was packed, so maybe have more than 1 bartender. But the food was good not great. It's consistent and tasty but nothing that special. The real problem with the restaurant is noise levels. It's very hard to hear. My family has been going here since it opened and we do like it but we have always called it “A roar A” due to the noise levels. Also normally they do a bread and hummus service but we did not get offered that last night.

Aurora is the “Cheers” of Rye City! The ambiance is cozy and inviting and for as long as I have lived in the area - it is the most consistent restaurant overall. They never disappoint. The food is great, good portion size and not terribly overpriced.

We had an unusually bad meal. Used to love this restaurant. My salad was bland, not as advertised. It had a little oil, not balsamic vinegrette. My pasta tasted like it had jarred sauce over lobster pasta. My husbands chicken was roasted and crispy. It was floating in gloppy sauce. It was very surprising. My husband said he won't go back.

Food and service were excellent. Excellent Bartender. Branzino dinner was superb. Will go back.
Jeff
Nice place, excellent food; very noisy (even for 2). Service was uneven; mostly very attentive, but presented entrees 20 seconds after taking away appetizer plates (not wonderful).
