   Place if off the beaten path in Williamsburg and weird location...They didn't have my reservation which I showed them the email confirmation and wasn't honored a booth felt right in the middle of movement, however food n drink were delicious live music was amazing singer was superb, loud music couldn't hear my husband speak that should be lowered during dinner great cuban decor large space...overall a wonderful night. Will Definitely go again. Prices are a bit high tho.

   Had the chicken Very bland dry and tasteless way over priced for a chicken so dry. My wife had the skirt steak well done but she got a medium cooked steak. The chimichurri rice/noodles were great and the drinks as well. The only thing i could say that was incredible was the waiter and the service he provided, and the latin band performing was cool.

   Came here for brunch with friends. Food is ok... Not exactly a good choice if you are bringing kids as the music is really loud. It is like brunching at a night club. It is more appropriate for young younger crowds. Very roomy thought and sit very comfortably.

   The decor and ambiance outstanding, Drinks were delicious and presented creatively. Food was tasty and fresh, some dishes were smaller portions than others. A bit on the pricey side but definitely worth the price!

   Food - AMAZING. Drinks - AMAZING. Ambiance - AMAZING. Live music - AMAZING. I don't ever write reviews but I had to for this one. Was blown away by everything we had and loved the atmosphere. Perfect for date night, girls night, or literally any night!

   I really liked Aura Cocina. The vibe and live bad was great, music outside of the band was a bit loud, felt like I had to shout to have a conversation. The food was great - had the volcano sushi (top tier), the miso salmon (top tier) and the peking chicken (a little dry, and maybe they should cut it up, was a little taxing to cut/eat). They can also do a better job at signage since they’re relatively new. All in all will definitely go back!

    Love love love this place, but new menu isn’t very good. Old menu was perfect, please bring it back. We were so surprised we even asked the staff why such a drastic change in the menu, they stated there was a new kitchen staff. Bring back the old Aura flavors, it was the life of this place. Otherwise, vibe and drinks are still great.

    This place is so nice. The food is delicious. The only inconvenience is that if you make any reservation after 8:30pm they will rush you to eat and order quickly, and they will not let you stay in the bar. I want to thanks Luis he was so nice with my friends and me.

    Aura Cocina left a lot to be desired. I went for a birthday dinner and was disappointed. The space and atmosphere are great and it has so much potential. The service however was very slow. Had to try to get the waiters attention several times. Everything seemed to be in 15-20 minutes intervals from ordering drinks to food. The food was ok the truffle mash that came with the churrasco was cold. The desserts were not good at all. They definitely need service. The restaurant was not even at 50 percent capacity.

    I am so glad that your establishment survived COVID or else I wouldn’t have known what a surprend dining experience is supposed to feel like. I have been telling everyone to make reservations with you for dinner or brunch. It takes a lot to impress me and I am absolutely floored by your staff, service and how amazing dinner was. My friend flew in from Texas and we were both taken aback. I will come back and will bring others with me.

    We had a great time at Aura for our first visit. Food, cocktails, and entertainment were excellent! We did, however, feel that our dishes weren’t timed/coursed adequately. We ordered 3 appetizers and our table was full, then our server kept trying to squeeze our entrees onto our table but it was impossible to fit on our 2 top. We finished our appetizers, and immediately our entrees came out with no break in between, rather unusual. We couldn’t properly enjoy our food. This timing wasn’t due to covid because after the entrees were out we never felt rushed again, we had to waive the staff down for cocktails, etc. I would return because we truly enjoyed the ambiance and Aura’s concept, and I’m curious to see if we would have a different experience with another server.

    Service, food and drinks were top notch. No complaints on our part. The only note we would like to pass on to the owner is that the price for the honey glaze salmon is a bit much. Not enough veggies/ side to accompany the salmon. Other than that the food was delicious.

    Amazing experience... great music, great service, very friendly... just get the Cuban rice instead of the huevos rancheros! Oh, and the creme brûlée omggg out of this world, you can hear the crack of the spoon on the sugar top!!! The best! Thank you, we really enjoyed our girls brunch!

    The food was great, certainly not what I'd call Cuban (ropa vieja was more like braised beef but nonetheless delicious), but a fun fusion of Asian flavors. The cocktails were disappointing; I understand Cubans love their sugar cane but even the margaritas were cloyingly sweet. The restaurant was spacious, thoughtfully distanced, and the staff truly stood out as attentive and pleasant. A live band was a most welcome post-lockdown sight, although it made conversation difficult, even at our table which was about as far as one could sit from the stage. Overall good experience, but not someplace I'll be rushing back to.

I want to give a special thank you to Rich for making this visit great. Thanks again for accommodating and for the great service provided . See you guys again real soon
