Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in Aurora

Everything we had was perfection!!! For appetizers, we recommend the Mushroom Neptune, for a main we had the Lobster Tail Dinner, and we had a medium well Blue Cheese Filet (bacon wrapped) with a side of fries. For a drink, the No-Paloma grapefruit mocktail was a perfect blend of sweet and sour but not too strong. And for dessert, we had the birthday mocha ice cream cake (Billy Miner Pie) and it was amazing!!!

We had an amazing experience at Locale! From the moment we walked in, everything was fantastic. Our server, Aaron, was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The food was delicious across the board, but I have to give a special shout out to the Caesar salad, it was the best I’ve ever had! We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend

A Valentine's night at our favorite restaurant was nothing short of magical. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance set the perfect tone for a romantic evening. The soft, warm lighting and cozy atmosphere immediately made us feel at ease. The service Luca was pleasant, was attentive and made thoughtful recommendations from the menu. It wasn’t just the food that made the night memorable, it was the entire experience, from the intimate setting to the heartfelt service. If you're looking for a place to spend a romantic Valentine's evening, this restaurant is definitely a top choice. We left with full hearts (and stomachs), knowing we’ll be back again.

Excellent food. Dishes are creative and delicious. If you like Portugese and you like fish, this is the restaurant to try. If you're not a fish fan, there are lots of delicious options, like their amazing squash risotto. Staff are very professional, warm and inviting. They seem genuinely pleased to see you and work together to see that you are well taken care of. Five stars for Aurora Fishbone!

Went for my birthday and the space has definitely got a renovation since my last visit in 2021. The food was equally as delicious, service had changed a bit (I do miss the old cutlery) but I understand with the demand and expansion since the WELL deserved Micheline recognition. The food was FABULOUS the octopus was a stand out texture perfectly cook the sala Verda had heat, zest, and herbaceous however, the star were the beans! DESSERT was my favourite course strawberries are my favourite fruits so confidently the gelato was right up my alley. I knew it was incredibly well done when my brother who notoriously dislikes strawberry “ice cream” of any sorts kept matching my spoon for spoon (will be back for the Torta). My only wish was to maybe talk about more with the Som and the employees. I know it’s hard to sometimes be able too in service and some guest just rather not be spoken to during their stay. I kept looking for an opening with everyone who touched our table didn’t work out. CJ was a wonderful server, paced our dishes and drinks, took care of my family wonderfully. Also loved that the table was communicated that it was “ours” until a specific time. It was a wonderfully birthday, thank you.
