Great for creative cocktails

Aura is known for its warm and cozy ambiance and carefully refined craft cocktails and dishes, this downtown space is an inviting and serene hideaway at the end of a stressful day.

Aura's year-round back patio is a favourite among its customers, with tropical plants, mythical graffiti, natural light and a candlelit atmosphere.

Staff was very friendly and welcoming. This reservation was my first time here and was very satisfied with the level of service. Food was really good and drinks tasted great also. Space was smaller than expected but I guess that is also partially because off season for patio, would definitely go back and really want to go back during patio season to check out the patio vibes. Overall great experience and will for sure be going back

Would one thousand percent recommend this place. I LOVED it! Our server was fantastic, we had the opportunity to sit out on the back pation - in OCTOBER! They had a nice little heater when it started to get a little chilly. The drinks were delicious, as was the presentation. I will be coming back and I've already started to think about hosting work events and or my birthday here. What a gem!

Server asked if we had any allergies when we first arrived and after we ordered the charcuterie board they didn’t inform us it had walnuts. The board came with the nuts on it and they asked us to eat around it. We decided to send it back and ask for a new one which they did comply with but we saw the kitchens reaction and it was not pleasant. Very disappointed in this level of service considering we told them there was a nut allergy and they didn’t seem to take it seriously at all.

Atmosphere, food and drinks were great! Only complaint was felt like we were waiting between drinks. Would have ordered a lot more if they were coming by more often
