Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Lake Orion

Aurora had been recommended to us by friends. It did not disappoint. It was hard to take in all of the beauty and we’ll need to go back to see more. The menu had a delicious variety of Italian specialties. Our server was knowledgeable and helpful.

Great friendly and attentive service from Jessica. We tried the frutta Del Mar, ravioli, calamari, and gnocchi. All enjoyed their food. Minestrone was great. Entrees come with choice of soup or salad. Background Music was a little loud at first but they turned it down eventually. Highly suggest reservations. By the time we finished I believe every table was filled in all the rooms. And once you go there you’ll know why

The food was fantastic! The halibut was absolutely perfect and the tagliatelle was spectacular. We really enjoyed sitting at the chef's counter and watching the fire. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. Overall a great experience! Can't wait to visit again. Definitely order the bread!

Everything as usual was perfect except that the wait person helping our waiter was much too eager to clear the table while one of the women in our party was still eating. He should know that you do not remove plates or silverware until all in the group are finished eating. He attempted to take her plate 2 times before she was finished.

We celebrated the 33rd anniversary of our first date here where we were 33 years ago. It was a beautiful evening for drinks and dessert on the deck. Our server did an outstanding job.
