   Second time visiting/first time for brunch; just wonderful/solid experience all around. Great place to dine at pre-theater at Paramount.

   Really enjoyed our food. The Shrimp tacos were out of this world. Will order the potatoes next time instead of the Elote. We will for sure go back.

   Great experience from the minute we walked through the front door. Service was exceptional, and the food was outstanding. It is a nice touch when the chef actually comes around and visits tables asking how things are. This is a great addition to Aurora and anybody going to the theater. Should be sure to check it out.

   This is an Aurora gem. Fantastic for before or after the theater but for any occasion you will not be disappointed.

   We started with my favorite guacomole trio (pineapple, pomegranate, cheese). Shrimp Tacos and beef tapas were next. Great flavors on both.

   We were a bit disappointed in our dining experience. For most of the evening it was just us in the restaurant, but we could not easily find a server. The one employee spent the night juicing limes which was very very loud and and also annoying. The shrimp tacos were excellent, but the rest of our food arrived cold, which was hard to understand since they were not busy at all on a Tuesday night. I have been here many times, and always had great food and excellent service, but this last visit was quite disappointing. It was a first visit for my friends, and I don't think they will return. For the price of the food, I would expect it to be served hot.

   Friendly staff, excellent food, fun cocktails. I’ve never had a bad meal at Altiro Geneva or Aurora.

    Our first time at Altira after a Paramount theater matinee. It was a perfect post-play site for dinner: Only a 5 walk from The Stolp, and about 2 minutes from Copley & Paramount. The staff was friendly and competent, the food arrived quickly, and the quality was excellent. The menu offers a variety of main courses, tapas, and tacos. Everything is a la carte, so when order tacos, a side dish or salad would be wise. Taco choices come with four small tacos, each different. Small, but very filling. And delicious. The guacamole comes with 3 fairly small scoops, which could be bigger, but they are all creatively fun. We shared our mango salad (also creative and tasty), and although we both love salad, this one was larger than we could eat and could be split between 3 people. The prices are reasonable (but less expensive than comparable Chicago restaurants). The only minor down-side: The noise level by our table was a bit too loud for normal conversation, but mostly because we were sitting directly below one of the speakers. It was fine a few tables away. A shorter version of this review: We were pleasantly surprised by the quality and ambience, and Altira will be our stop after future plays. There's a great variety of unique options on the menu, and it will be fun to explore as many as we can.
