This was our first time visiting this restaurant. When you enter the restaurant you are greeted by a beautiful interior, elegantly and professionally dressed staff and reception. And yes if you dress up yours employees in nice suits should probably put table cloth on your tables too so it feels like a good quality restaurant.The service is very hasty, it felt like we had come to a fast food place, despite the fact that we had to wait a very long time for drinks, only after placing an order with appetizers the waiter immediately forced us to order the main course. Rarely showed up to the table, it was hard to find a waiter to even ask for salt and pepper for the table. The presentation of the Caesar salad is of course just a beautiful picture, the taste is not particularly different from other places, they bring you a cart in which they have already made the ready-made sauce and simply add the leaves there and mix. There are practically no anchovies in the sauce, but they are on the cart and you can ask them to add it on top, just like fresh grated cheese. In principle, a good idea to sell the show than just lettuce leaves for double the price. My advice is don't order the ribeye steak, it's not worth it, $59 for 6 thin slices of meat. Plus the zip sauce what we were served it was just melted butter. The cocktails did not impress with their taste and simply seemed like a very simplified, cheap version of the original. Unfortunately, the dessert was also outrageous. Pana kota was served with the taste and smell of food from the refrigerator (most likely they stored these desserts with some other food in the refrigerator and they incorporated the aroma). Plus that the manager tried to resolve all the issues and removed our claims regarding orders from our bill. The whole time we were there, there was a feeling that we were constantly being rushed with our order and they just wanted us to eat quickly and leave and free up the table for the next client. In general, the idea is not bad, but requires minor improvements. Unfortunately this was our first and last time visiting this place. Price-quality 6 out of 10.

We decided to try out Aurora for a date night last night. The vibe and aesthetics are so nice, very modern and sleek and very cool layout with all different types of seating options. We got the table side, Caesar, which was prepared by chef Abdul. The Caesar was definitely the best we have ever had and we love trying Caesar salads at any restaurant we go to. It was so bright and fresh with the lemon and the fresh grated cheese. I do feel that $17 per person is a bit steep but again it was delicious and I guess the price is for the “experience” . I got the pasta Carbone, which is absolutely delicious and spicy. My husband got the fettuccine Alfredo, and though the portion of his was smaller than the portion I got of my pasta despite us both ordering small orders , we both agreed that it was also the best fettuccine Alfredo we have ever had. It was so rich and delicious. I got the spicy margarita which was just OK. I did not get another one. My husband got an old-fashioned made and he said it was very good. The drinks did also come out very fast. We got seated a few minutes before about three other tables and the three other tables got bread and oil before we did. I had to ask for it. The person who brought our water out and took our drink Orders stated that our waiter would be over soon. After at least 15 or more minutes we never saw the waiter and the person who brought us our water took our order for us, which we were appreciative of. We completely had finished our Caesar salad and the plates were cleared and the original waiter that we were supposed to have came up to us and asked if we were ready to get things started. We told him that we had already ate our Caesar salad and already had put in our order with the other gentleman. This is the biggest disappointment and the only reason that I didn’t rate the service or the complete experience a full 5 stars . There definitely seems to be a lack of communication despite seeing lots of staff and managers walking around the whole time. Not sure what happened with our waiter, but there didn’t seem to be any issues at any other tables around us. We were also at a high top right behind the hostess stand and infront of the bar so it’s not like we were in a secluded corner. I definitely feel like there should’ve been some communication between the staff regarding who was taking care of us because if we had actually waited for the original waiter to come back it would’ve been a problem waiting that long because he didn’t come until we had been there for about 30 minutes . He had no clue that we had already ordered and had our salads and finished them by the time he finally came to take our order. For a more upscale and very high priced restaurant. I don’t feel this should’ve been an issue. Service and organization is so important to the whole experience and we are pretty patient overall. Not sure what happened with the waiter mixup, and the communication between the two waiters who were trying to take care of us , but we definitely would be back to give the service another chance and Try more of the food again. It was very delicious.
