Food was fantastic. Chilean Sea Bass special was cooked to perfection. Even the vegetables that came with were deliciously prepared. They were out of a couple wines we chose but the manager came out and got us a different bottle that we really enjoyed. The place was loud. We had a hard time hearing our waitress. Acoustics, I suppose, more than the crowd being rowdy. The interior was very well decorated, the chairs were very comfortable, and the view was great being right there on Union Lake. This place will probably become our special day date place.

We’ve been coming to this spot for our anniversary for 14 years when it was “It’s a Matter of Taste.” Now it’s changed ownership and we gave it a shot last night and we’re disappointed. -We had a reservation and still waited almost 30 mins to be seated. -Then it took 20 mins for us to get a waitress. - The GM picked up on both of these things when he noticed me at the bar trying to get water and drinks because we didn’t have a server…As a result, he frequently checked in on us (which was nice) but ultimately did nothing. -The drinks and food prices were much higher than the previous establishment but no where near as good and smaller portions. -Previous establishment would comp the anniversary dessert and this place did not…even considering all of the unnecessary waiting. -Overall layout of the restaurant was an improvement however. Uncertain if we will have to find a new anniversary dinner spot…

Great food and service. Prices lean toward the high side, but you get what you pay for. When full, the restaurant tends to get quite loud. And with the large tableside caesar salad cart, it's challenging to navigate sometimes.

Two for two. We returned after 10 days and Aurora was every bit as good as before. As Governor Arnold said in The Terminator, "....I'll be back!"

Excellent dining experience--ambiance, right on the lake, food was very good as was the service. It is a pretty noisy restaurant, especially inside, so be prepared for that, but a really good restaurant in a beautiful setting.

Service was great ! We love the Burrata appetizer & the Rainbow beet salad was fresh & tasty (we shared it) I was a bit disappointed with the Bolognese entree, which needed salt & wasn't that flavorful-could have had more meat. We weren't offered fresh parmesan & had to track down the waiter to ask for it. However, it was my birthday & we were treated to a complimentary & beautifully presented Tiramisu!

Thank you for sharing your experience with us, and happy belated birthday! We're so glad that you enjoyed the Burrata, Rainbow Beet Salad, and the special Tiramisu surprise. We appreciate your honest feedback about the Bolognese and the service details. We'll definitely share this with our team so we can continue to improve. We hope to welcome you back soon for an even better experience!
