   Both of the hostess were very welcoming and seated us promptly. Our server, Rebecca was terrific, knew the menu and made great suggestions. The mixed seafood platter was wonderful and the risotto is always a must at Aurora. The carpaccio was done to perfection. The only issue was the music was very loud. This is one of our favorite restaurants and highly recommend.

   I had an amazing time at Aurora celebrating my friends birthday. We were greeted when we first walked in, the ambiance is amazing, and the interior is very aesthetically pleasing. Our Chef, Abdul, did amazing with our Caesar salad and made the experience very enjoyable. He even came back to dance with my friend for her birthday. The meatballs, chicken limone, and chicken parmesean was top tier. The mojito was good as well. Overall, a great experience. Will be back,

   Loved everything about Aurora! We only took a star because although we booked quite some time ago, we ended up with a table in what seemed to be the “bar area”. There were four people in our reservation and our table was very small and crowded.

   It wasn’t cheap but it was worth it. I had one of the best prime ribs I’ve ever had, the arachina primavera were so good we’re thinking of going back just for those this weekend. It’s a special occasion place or a great date night out.

   Going out to eat for me is a very value oriented activity is this place worth my money to come again. Short answer: no. not at all going to return again. Long answer: Food was very average -Archini balls were good, just good. sauce was cold within a minute. Doesn't help when being served onto a cold plate. Why not warm up the plate a bit? When the sauce was warm, it was very good. -Chicken parm: I've made better at home and i'm not even Italian. Flavor was lacking, breading was barely even sticking. Pasta was average. -Tomahawk: You're selling a $170 plate and you want to serve a side dish of mashed potatoes? Definitely over pricing this dish. The tomahawk was VERY GOOD. we were quoted a 32 oz steak, but the bill reflected a 28oz steak. In the prime steak house world, a 4 oz difference is definitely noticeable in size and price. Was I lied to? The steak was cooked to a PERFECT medium well. very impressive. -Sangria: this wasn't a sangria, we were served a mimosa. Please be honest with your drinks. -Mojito: the italian spin on this drink was good but i'll stick to my regular mojito. -Tiramisu: one of the best I think i've ever had! really good! would order that for take out and that's it. -Chocolate temptation multi layer dessert: nothing special, tasted like some cake from a local not high end bakery. Please don't get me wrong: mistakes happen yes. I understand mistakes happen at my local buffalo wild wings, sharwarma place, etc but at an establishment that has the face to charge a 3 person part a $300+ bill, that's not acceptable.

    It was so hot at our table and the table next to us kept opening the door to the outside. Our meal was so hot or so cold. Please fix your heating. I was wearing my daughter’s coat on my legs due to the cold air!
