   We had dinner with another couple. The appetizers were great Korean dumplings and potato croquettes. We were given plenty of time between the courses and the main entrees, salmon, fish and fries, and potato picatta. All the dishes were perfect. We did order a bottle of wine that went well with our meal. Our server Alyssa was a delight and also assisted the food with making our time at Aura so enjoyable for a Saturday evening date night.

   We love Aura! It’s one of our favorite, go-to, date night spots. The staff our always incredibly kind and attentive. Jason and Cephus have done a wonderful job creating a welcoming atmosphere, delightful menu and always stop by to say hello and chat for a minute. Can’t recommend Aura enough.

   Our server, Nick, was spectacular. He made our group feel welcome immediately and took care of all our needs before we even had to ask. It felt like we were his only table! Food was delicious, everyone thought their meal was their new favorite. Thank you

    This was our first visit. The wait staff was exceptional, and the food was excellent. The owners came over to answer any questions and were always checking in. They have a tremendous bar with just about every taste you would like. This place is at the top of our list.
