We made reservations for 6pm, but didn’t need them because there were plenty of tables on this Thursday evening. We had perfect service. The food was delicious and had a “homemade from scratch” taste. The short rib came with asparagus risotto. The meat was perfectly tender and flavorful, and the risotto was the best I’ve ever tasted. I would definitely order it again. We also ordered the lemon honey roasted half chicken with a side of the same asparagus risotto. Again, it was delicious. My daughter had the pesto pasta that came with a generous sprinkling of roasted hazelnuts. She added chicken to the pesto pasta and said that it was very good. We’ll be back. It’s a perfect walk to the Lyric Theatre across the street.

A pleasant surprise to find a quiet dog-friendly place for brunch. I had the holiday 3-course meal (pimento dip, beef rib, and torte) which was a delicious experience. Service was great.

We had been to the old location for brunch and it was really good so we decided to try for dinner. The new space is very nice and you can opt for outside dining or inside. We were the only ones inside, but there were two other couples outside. The cocktails were very good, and the service friendly and attentive. We ordered the chicken fried NY strip, and the short rib with asparagus risotto. Both plates were huge, and so tasty. We are concerned about their dinner business, as only a party of 3 were seated while we were there. I sure hope they make it, and I hope people reading this will try it out.

We went for dinner before Lyric Theatre. The restaurant was very quiet. We sat in the patio area. Evan our server was attentive. It seemed to take a very long time For the food to come out of the kitchen despite being very empty. The chicken was very good and enough for 2 people. The little guy salad was good but heavy on dressing. Would certainly go again.

First time eating here… four people had three different dishes and all were equally great. Short ribs and risotto excellent. Steak and mashed potatoes excellent, and the honey lemon roast chicken with crispy potatoes salad excellent. We will be back soon!

We decided to try Aurora for dinner. Our server was attentive. It was quiet and food was excellent. We tried the artichoke appetizer which was delicious. Both the chicken and fish came out hot and very tasty. We will definitely go again. Great location to go before theatre.
