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.

The food was delicious. I recommend the Harvest salad and the pork shop with potatoes and peppers. For dessert the mousse is to die for.

Fabulous as always! We ordered a bunch of appetizers. One was more delicious than the next. I especially loved the grilled oysters, and I have never tasted a better crab cake. Huge pieces of lump crab meat! I usually avoid crab cakes because of the breading. I ate here with some friends last week and one of them ordered the crab cakes, she said no breading (!) so I wanted to try them. I was not disappointed. My son is a foodie as well as being a personal chef so it’s a challenge to take him somewhere special. Aura fit the bill. He loved everything. And the music is just the right volume for a pleasant background with the ability to still have a conversation.

I’ve dined here a few times and will definitely go back again! I love the food, service and atmosphere. It’s nice to have a place like this so close to home near Long Beach. Joe was very attentive and helpful.
