    Whipped feta dip
    Leigh M.

    We came for our anniversary dinner and we wanted to try all the things!! We did tapas and a starter and they were delicious woth small portions which was great so we could try everything. Our server gave great suggestions and it is such a nice, slightly fancy atmosphere.

    Pork presa over red pepper risotto
    Mel P.

    Great drinks, very good service. Enjoyed the wine selection. Tuna appetizer was very fresh, light, and flavorful. Scallop special over lobster risotto and the presa entrees were well enjoyed. Only low point was the chocolate silk cake which was too large and rich for us, even sharing it. Sat upstairs but they were almost empty by 9 pm on a Saturday midsummer. Airy, clean, classy but not stuffy vibe.

    Flourless chocolate cake

    Was very pleased with our experience at Aura! We had amazing service from beginning to end. The atmosphere is very nice -- elevated but still somewhat casual. I loved the ambient lighting around the bar. We sat downstairs in one of the large, comfortable booths, & could see the upstairs area looked nice as well. I really enjoyed the Super Tuscan wine. The Aura martini (which contains olive oil) seemed to be enjoyed by the others in my party. Stand out dishes were the Mediterranean Shrimp (app), Lamb Kabobs (app), and Branzino (entree). The baba ganoush could've used more flavor, and the fried chicken entree was a bit too tough. I also liked their Greek salad, olives app, and flourless cake. We all agreed that we were impressed. Again, service was top notch (I wish I remembered our waiter's name)! Would definitely recommend this spot!

    This place was a great location for really any reason. The parking is a little odd. We had to drive all the way around the back and it was pretty crowded. We were seated quickly, even without a reservation. This is a tapas type place. So we decided to split a couple small plates. I went for the Greek salad, Mediterranean shrimp and carpaccio. Their craft cocktails are delicious. I recommend the super star. The Greek salad was a little odd to eat because they used whole butter lettuce leafs. I also opted for the lemon cake for dessert and that was really good! Overall, I recommend and would come back.

    What a delightful place to enjoy a glass of wine and small plates with friends. The ambiance is relaxing and lovely and the food delicious. The servers were helpful but also let us just sit and relax. We enjoyed sweet potato hummus, calamari, Mediterranean shrimp, Brussels sprouts, and a mushroom pizza. I could have just eaten the Brussels sprouts!

    Shrimp Pappardelle and Aura Martini

    This was our date night choice Friday! It was our first time there and we were instantly impressed. The place is niiice! It wasn't too busy for a Friday night but we did go in a little late and were seated right away. My husband wanted to sit upstairs and we were accommodated no problem. The food was great! I had the Shrimp Pappardelle and my husband had the char grilled filet mignon cooked to his preference. Our waitress was nice, friendly, and attentive. Also, the Aura martini was delish!

    We loved this place!! The service was top notch. The food was amazing. I ordered the iberico presa.. It was perfection. My husband ordered the shrimp pappadella, also amazing. We will definitely be back.

    First time here at Aura and was blown away with all the flavors. Brunch: Everything we ordered was amazing! Loved the special dessert, so decadent. My favorite was definitely the Turkish Eggs. The Yukon Home Fries (side for the Steak and Eggs) was cooked to perfection!!! Our server Nicole was great! Thank you! The ambiance was nice, the music suits it. Can't wait to go back for dinner! They seem to have a great menu, as well as the happy hour for some excellent drinks.

    Mushroom soup
    Kim H.

    I can't say enough about this place. It was so cozy and elegant this evening. The service was top notch. I literally could not think of one area for improvement there. The food is by far the best on the West Shore, if not the whole Central PA area. The new fall menu started tonight and we took advantage of it! We tried the mushroom and butternut squash soups. Both are absolutely delicious and the portions are very generous. We also had the arugula pear salad which had figs on it. It was dressed lightly and was full of flavor. Lastly, we had the pizza with sausage and pepperoni. Needless to stay, we left there full. We enjoyed refreshing drinks from the bar menu also. Just when you think a place can't get better, it does. This is a must visit if you are in the area.

    Halibut special with filet in the background.
    Jim M.

    Not sure why it took us so long to come back, but that will definitely change. Awesome meal! We were able to catch the happy hour as well which was an amazing value. Our server Corey was very attentive. My wife ordered the filet that was cooked perfectly. I had the special which was crusted halibut. Wow! It's upscale and on the higher end for the West Shore, but something like this is a treasure for the area. Plenty of parking and no problem getting a reservation.

    Love this place! Such good food and iced teas! We discovered it last year on our way from Virginia…read moreto Horseheads, NY. We were looking for a place that had organic foods and had vegan options on their menu. We returned on our way up this year. Still so good! Yes, they are open for lunch even if it doesn't look like it from the parking lot. Just go in and enjoy, their door is open.

    From the moment we walked in the door we knew this place was special. Set in a charming two story…read morehistoric house we entered from the back where an outdoor deck with seating was present and walked into an inviting dining room that had about 8+ tables - the atmosphere peaceful, intimate, warm, and inviting. Tatiana herself greeted us and sat us at a perfect table in the corner where we could look out at the restaurant. The food matched the first impression - presentation was superb! We started with the appetizer of chicken meatballs - 6 delicious bites to share. Flavor was on spot and the white sauce sweet yet savory. Next cam our dinners. Each served with soup (Ukranian borscht), lovely mixed salad, and homemade dinner rolls - to die for! We started with the Ukranian Ice Tea - and first for me. And now a staple! It had a hint of fruit tones, not too sweet, very cold, and refreshing! I had 2 glasses. We ordered the Ukranian Stew which comes with Ukrainian rice (another fabulous staple - I will add this as an additional side dish to any ongoing visits we make, it's that good). The sauce on the stew was perfectly seasoned as well - with a hint of cardamom and perhaps cinnamon? It was a perfect blend of savory with hint of sweetness to compliment the chicken, chicken sausage, beef tips, vegetables, and more that made up the stew. The sauce was worthy of a spoon to ensure every morsel was consumed - with bread to wipe the bowl clean! The portion sizes are generous as well. The second entre was the Colosseum Tortellini Combo with chicken, chicken sausage, mushrooms, onions, peppers and cheese tortellini all tossed in a Asiago Alfredo Marinera sauce. A other enjoyable dish. While we did not have dessert, the selections looked equally scrumptious! We will try the pumpkin cheesecake when we return. This is a family run business. Ash is the Chef, Tatiana runs the front if the house. They have a second floor dinkng space that can seat up to 50! Great spot for special event or party. Even Tatiana's mother participates with her dessert baking. Both Ash & Tatian were delightful. It was like being invited to a friend's home for a feast! Highly recommend trying. I know we will return to try numerous other items on the menu.
