The stunning lightshow of auroras wouldn't be visible without the combination of unique elements. In turn, we know that true beauty can be found when people from all walks of life come together under one roof for a shared purpose. This is the spirit of Aurora at the Celeste. We believe wonder is created in the midst of communal experiences, particularly over a shared love for delicious food and captivating atmosphere.

An immersive concept set apart from all others in Orlando, Aurora will be a restaurant experience that captures vast attention through colorful flavors, stunning ambiance, and refined service. With an emphasis on fresh, locally sourced food and the inspiring culinary genius of Chef Ibis Lopez, Aurora will be a glimmering spectacle within the Celeste Hotel experience.

    Hi we had breakfast while staying for parents weekend. Menu is very traditional. Nothing special or unique just basic offerings. Food was hot and service good. Recommend servers come around with coffee or offer refills as we did not see our server until end of meal when we flagged her down for refill. Pleasant breakfast and convenient on game days.

    Thank you for joining us for an exciting weekend! We are so glad that we offered a convenient option to enjoy a hot breakfast during your stay. While we're thrilled you enjoyed our service, we will absolutely share your suggestion with our staff. Especially on such a busy weekend, coffee refills are a must! We hope your travels will bring you back to our restaurant for another great meal.

    The valet staff and hostesses were very welcoming. Our server, Blue, was fantastic - friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the food and drink offerings. The Magical Dining menu was exceptional (and was our favorite of the 3 restaurants we tried this year). We look forward to returning to try more of their dinner menu. We really enjoyed the food. The plates were quite complex. It was important to include everything together with each bite. The desserts were delicious and were beautifully presented. The deconstructed coconut custard pie was our favorite.

    I ate at Aurora two weeks ago for magical dining and raved about it. Last night I took two friends there who have never been. I was excited. But my excitement didn’t last long. Our meal took almost three hours from start to finish. Way too ling. Almost 45 minutes before we got our appetizer. Service personnel were overwhelmed. I was very disappointed

    Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We will absolutely share your compliments with Melody, who makes sure to deliver stellar service even on the busiest occasions. However, we truly apologize for the wait times you experienced, as they are absolutely unacceptable. It is important that all courses come out in a timely manner, both for excited newcomers and returning guests. We will review your experience with our culinary team to ensure this does not happen again. I truly hope you and your guests will give us another opportunity to provide a memorable dining experience!

    This is a loud restaurant - the floors are tile and the atmosphere is more cafe-like. It was hard to hold a conversation. I believed the night we went they were truly short staffed. It took over 35 minutes for our appetizer, then a total of 2 hours when we had to ask for our check so we could leave. We went for Magical Dining. The food was great (though the steak was fatty and tough). The strawberry sorbet was phenomenal as we the ceviche. We probably will not be back.

While I am glad you enjoyed the offerings for Magical Dining, we truly apologize for the inconvenience of having to wait so long for your courses. We want to leave our diners looking forward to the next course, but only long enough to still be excited! I completely understand that this would have a large impact on your overall experience, and I will share your feedback with our culinary and service team to ensure this will not happen again. I do hope you will give us another chance to prove our commitment to elevated dining experiences.

    Diver scallops were outstanding. Steak was overcooked and cool, not cold but great presentation on both entrees. Desserts were delightful and I highly recommend paying the upcharge for the supernova. Ceviche was on the bland side and Caesar salad was good. Service was attentive and well paced.

    Celebrated our 11 year anniversary and decided to try something new........Aurora did not disappoint!!! The hostess' were wonderful! Our waiter, Blue, was more than amazing. Kind, courteous, knowledgeable of the entire menu, very accommodating. And the meal!!!!! Oh my!!! If you've ever watched a cooking show on TV and seen the presentations that blow your mind, then the judges taste their food and their faces reflect just how wonderful that bite is...... You will experience that at Aurora!!

    We booked this place for magical dining, at first when we saw that it was by UCF we regretted it, we thought this place was going to be run by students lol. But Thank God we stuck with it. We were a group of 4 with also a baby girl, our server was Blue, he was real cool and easy to get along with. He made great recommendations. The apps was great I got the ceviche, but the entrees omg I told Blue to thank the chef for us because that food was amazing. I have tried some of the best steak houses in Orlando and Chicago and Boston, but that was one of the best steaks I have ever had. The star of the show was the chicken, my boyfriend ordered it but I ate most of it lol. I wanted a chicken plate to go. We cleaned all our plates. The desserts took an hour to arrive, but blue kept assuring us that they will be coming and “sorry for the wait.” The desserts was also great, the beignets was my favorite but I also had my boyfriends coconut one 10/10. Everything was great the food, service and the ambience of the place. I will be telling all my friends and co-workers to check it out and if it’s on the list for magical dining next year, I will be back.

    What a find in East Orlando, and on UCF campus to boot! Since Covid, always seeking lovely covered patios to dine, Aurora was perfect. Quiet with landscaped surroundings, we enjoyed delicious Magical Dining meal as the sun set and lights illuminated the patio and pool area. Our gregarious server Blue, provided outstanding counsel and service, despite attending to other patio diners and an inside party of 16. We will be back!

    Service was excellent. The only disappointment was they were out of 2 items on the Magical Dining issue and the restaurant had only been open 30 minutes. Manager made a comment that led us to believe he wasn't too concerned about the availability of menu items in the Magical Dining menu.

    I went for magical dining and honestly didn’t know what to expect from a hotel restaurant on a college campus. I was blown away by the attentiveness from the staff, the presentation of the food, and the quality of the meal. I had the waygu steak has my entree and I highly recommend it. The coconut ceviche was refreshing and flavorful. For dessert, the supernova is a fun and rich experience, perfect for sharing.

    The waitress was forgetful, first she forget to bring a drink to one of the guests. Then she forgot my dessert that was to go. I had to come back in and it took a while for them to deliver it. Also disappointing that they ran out of the scallops. The wagyu beef was mid, not very impressed.

    My two friends and I went here for magical dining, and it was magical! Between us, we had the croquettes, the steak, the ceviche, and the scallops, and all were delicious. We also ordered the truffle fries from the regular menu, and they may have been the best fries we have ever had. We ordered the upcharge dessert which I can't remember the name of, but it was an experience, as it came with a chocolate dome over it and the server poured a heated sauce over it to make it melty and delicious. The wine and cocktail selection was nice, I ordered a California Chardonnay which I liked very much, rich and buttery. I very much recommend this for either magical dining or for a future nice dinner.
