“My wife and I dined at Aura the other evening and had a great time. Our waiter was Kain, efficient, quick when wanted and stayed out of our face while we enjoyed the food and the Waterfront views. I had the short ribs which were perfectly cooked & presentation was good. My wife had the Salmon which was also beautiful presented and very tastety. We will be back . Cheers”
“Waiter was amazing, made great suggestions. Views and atmoshere on the deck were the best. Food impeccable.”
“This restaurant is truly amazing! Not only is the food outstanding, but the setting is also stunning with beautiful ocean views. The chef’s skills are impressive, and every ingredient tastes incredibly fresh. The medium-rare beef is so tender and juicy that it completely blew me away. The fries are perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy inside—easily the best I’ve ever had. The salad is refreshing and well-balanced, complementing the meal perfectly. Dining here while enjoying the seaside view is an absolute pleasure. Every visit leaves me fully satisfied—definitely a 15/15 experience!”
“We had an absolutely delicious breakfast with a stunning view at Aura! The avocado toast with poached eggs was fantastic, and the buttermilk waffle with pistachio butter was exceptional; rich, creative, and beautifully presented. The coffee and hot chocolate perfectly complemented our meal. Every member of the team was warm, professional, and genuinely kind. Our server Naomi took great care of us and made us feel truly welcome. We were especially touched that the team acknowledged our special occasion, offering heartfelt congratulations and treats, which made our day unforgettable. We’re already looking forward to returning for lunch or dinner!”
“Aura has a lovely atmosphere and we enjoyed the food. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience pleasant. The service was a bit slow at times, likely because there weren’t enough waitstaff, so the waiting time was longer than expected. There was no music, and adding some soft background music would really enhance the overall ambiance. With a few small improvements, this place has great potential.”
