Aura is a neighborhood restaurant that celebrates how food, drink, people, and atmosphere come together
Aura is inspired by the banks of the Mediterranean, the spirit of family, the crisp coolness of a just caught oyster, the vibrancy of farm fresh vegetables, and the spirit of, “il dolce far niente.”

Here at Aura, we pride ourselves on hospitality, with a focus on memorable moments, whether you’re coming in for a small bite and a glass of wine at the bar, an intimate dinner with friends, or a large celebration.

Our menus are inspired by our culture, our seasonal ingredients, and our travels… and we welcome you to share your aura with us. We hope to see you soon.

    Seating for 9 was a little tight with 5 seats on one side and 4 on the other, but once a chair was placed at the head of the table, everyone was comfortable. Our server, Leo, was exceptional! The only critique I have is that the tables could be bussed more frequently so the dishes don't accumulate.

    Just one little complaint. We arrived 20 minutes before our 7:00 reservation so we could have drink at the bar. At 6:50 we were told (by the manager?) that our table was ready and to go sit but we just got our drinks. He said we could lose our table if we didn’t. We said no we will wait till 7:00. We sat at 6:59. The food was great. The drinks were great. The service (Lauren) was fantastic. It’s beautiful restaurant. Don’t rush people. It’s so off putting. I know it’s Saturday night but we had reservations.

    I love this place! Friendly hostesses, beautiful restaurant and great food. Lisa was our server and she was excellent. We split the spicy rigatoni as an appetizer and it was absolutely amazing. I had the salmon which was overcooked but still good. My partner had the chicken kabobs which is a must if you’re dining here. They are delicious. Drinks were on point and Lisa recommended a great cabernet. Shout out to Jess who was very funny. Overall a great local gem. Next time brunch.

    Sunday brunch was amazing, especially with the 90s hip hop.

    Took out very well popular former professional athlete… long retired… the server was disrespectful & actually tried baiting him to engage physically.
