" I stumbled upon this place while wandering around and was instantly charmed by the inviting decor. The cocktails were amazing, and their happy hour deal is one of the best I've seen. The staff was super attentive without being overwhelming, which made for a pleasant atmosphere. I tried the tapas and they did not disappoint—well presented and delicious! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a good time in the East Village. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a wonderful evening at Aura! The moment we walked in, the friendly staff greeted us with warmth. I ordered the BBQ sliders and was pleasantly surprised by the flavors. The cocktails were also incredible. I can't wait to go back! This place really has a cozy vibe that's perfect for gatherings. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Aura was less than stellar. Although the atmosphere is delightful, the food I ordered—a salad—wasn't as flavorful as I anticipated. It was drenched in balsamic and barely had any cheese. Service was friendly, but I expected more from the kitchen. I might give it another shot based on other reviews, but I left feeling underwhelmed this time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I absolutely love this place! The food is fresh and flavorful, and the atmosphere is perfect for enjoying a meal with friends. Their happy hour deals are amazing. I especially enjoyed the bruschetta, it was refreshing and delicious. Service was fantastic—the staff really went the extra mile, making my visit enjoyable. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was pretty disappointed with my visit. Although the atmosphere was nice, the food was lackluster. I ordered the pasta, and it fell short of my expectations. My service was friendly, but it didn't make up for a subpar dining experience. I might give this place another chance in the future, but my first visit wasn’t memorable. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is a must-visit! The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The staff took great care of us without being intrusive. I really appreciated the personal recommendations from the bartender. Aura has a nice vibe that makes it easy to relax and enjoy your meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wasn't expecting much when I walked in but was blown away by the level of service! The staff ensured we felt like VIPs all night long. The truffle fries were out of this world, and the shrimp cocktails were fresh and tasty. It was a perfect spot to unwind after a long day. Will be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)
