I always get the lamb chops. Perfection. Service is great. The waiters remember me. Vibes are chill whether you sit out on Lincoln Rd, inside at a table, or back in the courtyard area. Love this place! read more

I stepped by for a drink with a friend this last Sunday since we were on Lincoln Road during Basel week. Though they have outside tables, my friend and I sat in the back area of what used to be the famous Books & Books. Like every other place on the beach, they charge an automatic gratuity. Though both drinks tasted refreshing, my friend's mango margarita seemed to have a little more alcohol than my mojito. Our waiter took the ordered, came back once to verify it and then until our check. It was pleasant but functional. read more

Went for a Saturday brunch on a cool, sunny February morning. Not terribly crowded. A waiter quickly came to take our order. So far, so good. Ordered brunch and coffees. Waited about 30 minutes for order to arrive with only our water to tide us over. Coffees never arrived. At least we were not billed for them. One of the two food orders was wrong, too. Yikes. Friendly folks, cool outdoor seating on the pedestrian shopping streetscape area. But the product ended up being a dud. read more

I'm SO surprised this place didn't have more patrons. First, the hostess is sweet, and Manuel, the server is great! It was cold (60 degrees) and they recommended to sit outside because it was warmer, and turned the heater on for us. Second, they have Happy Hour from 3-6, 1/2 off drinks. The chips were nice and lightly toasted and guacamole was on point! Good hospitality, good drinks and food. Better than 2/3 of my stops while in this area of Miami. Guys - Stop by. Ask for Manuel and tell them the lady from Chicago sent you. Oh, and if you reserve through Open Table, you get points! read more

Delicious food! Mel was the hostess and she was exceptional. She was very welcoming and knowledgeable. The restaurant is small but offers outdoor seating. It is a hookah lounge at night...?, I think. They have a cute little hookah garden towards the back of the restaurant which is an intimate spot for friends or a date. The manager, Mehmet was also attentive and provided excellent customer service. The food portions were a generous size and the alcoholic beverages were strong but very enjoyable. I highly recommend ordering the Chicken Parmigiana, it was chefs' kiss!! The prices were on the higher end, but considering the location, service and portions I thought it was fair. I recommend having lunch or dinner here! read more

The restaurant is an open area inside and outside. Their servers were quick and very friendly. The food is ok but very expensive. Two bagels with cream cheese & smoked salmon was $45. read more

La comida estuvo deliciosa, cada plato lleno de sabor y bien presentado. El servicio fue excelente, gracias a Alfredo, quien fue súper atento, amable y siempre pendiente de cada detalle. Sin duda, un lugar al que volvería y recomendaría sin pensarlo. read more

Food was mediocre but the real surprise was when we got the bill and it didn't match the prices on the menu. Each item was as much as $5. More! The waiter seemed surprised we noticed and then explained the computer doesn't match the menu. I think that's called fraud. They did take it off but I'd bet most people dont check and they make quite a bit up charging visitors. Also we didnt appreciate their deciding they get a 20% tip. We always tip but their quality wasn't assured 20%. Tourists beware. read more

This restaurant was the meet up point for a food tour I was supposed to go on that didn't happen. So I decided to eat here for dinner. It's a nice spot. The restaurant part is in the front, the bar is in the middle, and there is a hookah lounge/area in the back. I sat at the bar and ordered a margarita and the ceviche as an appetizer. For the main course, I ordered Gyro. I learned from the bartender, who is from Turkey, that it is pronounced as it's spelled, Gyro and not Yee Rrho as they pronounce it in Greece. The ceviche was good but had too much lime on it. The Gyro meal was very filling. I tried the Jalisco old fashion drink but wasn't a big fan. The bartender did warn me that it was sweet and has cane sugar but I associated sweet as being fruity. It was indeed sweet, too sweet for me. As I was getting ready to pay the bill, the bartender said I couldn't leave without having a shot and the drink he made was sooo good! I asked him what it was and he only told it's his secret drink. So if you want something fruity that goes down easy, request the bartenders' secret shot drink. You won't be disappointed! All in all, the atmosphere, the food, the staff, and the bartender with the Mea Culpa arm tattoo were great! read more

A nice, quiet spot for dinner with a peaceful vibe thanks to all the greenery and trees around. The staff were warm and friendly, which added to the experience. The pizza was a bit underwhelming -- it was supposed to have truffle oil or sauce, but tasted pretty average. The penne pasta, though, was quite good and flavorful. The chocolate lava cake was just okay -- decent, but nothing to write home about. read more

OMGosh!! This place was delicious! Had the opportunity to bring my husband here today for his birthday and we had a great time. The staff was also kind and knowledgeable of the menu. The music was perfect. Not too loud, just right. We are definitely coming here again. The steak, fries, shrimp, lamb, crab cake....... I mean, it was ALL good. read more

I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious the food at Aura is! I think generally the food options on Lincoln road haven't always had the best reputation for quality as they are typically a tourist trap. However, I must say the food at Aura was exceptional! Will definitely be going back whenever I'm on Lincoln road again! Great food and for a good price! Definitely recommend to anyone in the area. read more

Came in on a Sunday night and I have to say the service was A1 ! They recommended me an awesome Drink that was big enough for me and my girls, great prices and the flavors are amazing, they are connected with the hookah at Aura so we smoked a Pineapple head long lasting yummy flavors and had some appetizers that came out super fresh ; overall the place is wonderful, food and drinks are great and the service is 10 out 10! The manager came to check that everything was ok to our table which is very important in the restaurant industry, it shows you care what you serve. I highly recommend anyone to come and check it out! I will be back soon!! :) read more

We randomly stopped in here because we couldn't get into the spot a few doors down. The food was amazing. Way better than I expected. I wanted even more food, but couldn't fit. The service was extremely friendly and welcoming. The music wasn't to our liking but they let us choose what we wanted to hear which was dope. read more

A great vibe for a Friday night in Miami! I attended an event at the Aura on Lincoln but the venue is perfect for a date night spot or ladies night out. The music was great and diverse so I absolutely love that. I really enjoyed their ceviche! It was loaded with flavor and the presentation was adorable. They also have a hookah bar in the back so that's perfect if you want to keep the night going after dinner! The ambiance is so cute as well. It is very well lit and the outdoor patio is super intimate so it's perfect if you want to avoid a big crowd. read more

Came to have brunch on a Wednesday at lunch time as part of a party of 6. To begin, I asked the manager about the vegan part of the menu, as seen in the website but not in the "in loco" menu, but the manager never replied. The restaurant was not busy, but the food took over one hour to arrive and only arrived for 4 of us, when the 4 of us were finishing eating, one of the remaining 2 plates arrived wrong. The food was quite bland. The bellini we ordered was brought wrong (they brought a mimosa). They never brought any sugar for the coffee, and the vanilla latte came with no vanilla. Since the waitress repeated the orders to us and she had them written down, we know the mistake was done in the kitchen. At the end of the meal, the last plate hadn't arrived, so we had it cancelled. The waitress was really nice but clearly lacking training. The manager was around trying to lure more customers in, he never came to our table to apologise, even though he knew of the issues we had. read more

U was in MIA for 7 days and everyday i stopped by this establishment. I have nothing bad to say about this restaurant but i wish i could take the servers with me to nyc. The energy from start to finish was mind blowing man everybody was so nice. The food was good the hookah was great i was lucky to find it on Groupon and it was a blessing. The restaurant was gorgeous i might have to add read more

Sarah is great! Food was amazing. We will certainly return on another trip. Relaxing vibes! read more

We had tickets for a play on Lincoln Road and made reservations for an early dinner at Aura not really knowing what to expect. Despite the fact it was mostly empty, they weren't able to sit us inside. But, it turned out to he a nice afternoon so it was great to sit in their covered patio. We ordered the hummus and guacamole as appetizers. The hummus was excellent, although a bit runny. The guacamole was creamy although I felt it lacked flavor. For our entrees we had the churrasco, the Mahi, the Gyro/Doner and the lasagna. Everything was excellent (although the churrasco was a bit overcooked). The Mahi Mahi was my favorite, the lemon caper sauce was very flavorful. Drinks were good too. The server was friendly but she did take a while to bring us our check. Overall a good experience! read more

Food was ok. Waiter did not write down our order. Instead he tried to remember everything and of course, that never goes well. He was trying hard to put on the charm so I give him credit for that. There was a homeless person wandering around near the tables and the manager made sure he didn't bother any of the customers. read more

Simply awful. I ordered a rum and coke, and it was served in a tiny glass... mostly rum with a splash of coke. For lunch, I ordered the tuna melt and was so disappointed. The taste was bland and the huge pieces of cucumber took away from the sandwich. We also tried the margherita pizza and again we were very disappointed... nothing good about it! It was a terrible lunch experience. read more

We just had a wonderful birthday breakfast for my husband this morning and had to leave a review. The breakfast was exceptional and fast service! We got a breakfast quesadilla and the power burrito to share. The service was excellent. Alvyn, one of the servers, was incredible. We had another server who was newer and Alvyn was so helpful to him in training him and ensuring we had a great experience. We thought he must have been the manager with the initiative he took to ensure everyone in the restaurant had a great experience. We will definitely be back soon!!!! read more

Excellent food and service. We went there for Sunday brunch (11 am); the restaurant was serving lunch or breakfast. Eggs were cooked to perfection along with the ham and sausage. read more

Enjoyed Aura as part of a walking food tour. We enjoyed avocado salsa, hummus with tahini, Florida sweet corn salsa, and yuca fries. The food was fresh and delicious. We sat outside and enjoyed the ambiance of the Lincoln road mall. It was a beautiful day in Miami to be outside. The wait staff was also very friendly. I would recommend stopping by. read more

Decided to stop here after shopping. Our friend/host, Tanya was so friendly, we had to go in. The place is so cute, offered hookah and such a vibe. I didn't care for the bathroom too much, off the beaten path, but everything else, great: the food was the best part. We frequented nearby, more fancy restaurants and they had nothing on this chef. We could eat more if our bellies allowed. The staff from Tanya, to our waitress, to the hookah guy, was so friendly and pleasant. We will definitely return! read more

Stay away if you want what you ordered from the menu. I ordered a "HOMEMADE" Veggie Meatball wrap and got a "frozen" veggie Patty ... When I brought it to the attention of the manager she claimed they make them in house and freeze them. I was also told it was a "meatball burger"... I've never heard of that in my years of being vegetarian. Then asked me if I'd like my check! I'd put money on it that it was a frozen burger from Costco. I do want to say our waiter (Mehmet) was great and I wish he worked at a restaurant I'd frequent. read more

I've frequented this place quite a few times and the service and food have always been good - today not so much !!! It took a while for even water to be offered, we then ordered an appetizer which took quite a while !! We placed our order and the service was extremely slow and took much longer than usual. The salad was good, however the salmon was over cooked from the order as was my friends skirt steak. Food was not prepared to order, we had to request the dressing for the salads. When I spoke to the waiter he started to provide excuses that the kitchen was too far from the tables, my simple reply was that's not the customers concern. Overall for the amount of money charged and service provided, if the service isn't improved, I won't be back..... read more

Ordeeed avocado toast with a poached egg on top and this is what the toast looks like smh. Asked for a side of toast and 20 min it finally comes out as my eggs are cold. Bacon was burnt & turkey sausage was awful. Chef was on a power trip and argued instead of just making new toast right away. I was charged full price. Waitress was great tho. read more

Very good restaurant with delicious food, attentive service. Inside there is a small garden where you can smoke hookah. The staff is very friendly and in general everything is very high quality. I ordered a churasco steak with rice and beans, very tasty. I recommend trying a hookah with Russian dark side tobacco, just fire! overall score 10/10 read more

Polished, but not warm. A decent menu selection and a strong Mojito saved this place for me. While the food was A-OK the service left a lot to be desired. Trying to get the waitress' attention to refill water was a chore. Even though there was plenty of staff, they all seemed to be excellent at avoiding eye contact. From the moment our food arrived until we requested the check, we never had any follow up on our meal. Had the place been busy I could see not getting back to check, but with the amount of staff hanging near the greeter / hostess stand I felt more irritated than I likely should have. Perhaps it was just a bad day but when you get a first impression like mine and still have to pay an 18-20 % gratuity which is automatically added to your bill, more effort should be present in the actual service. read more

We liked the location! Food is cooked and seasoned well. We ordered the Tropical Salmon, Avocado Greek Salad, and Turkey Burger. The food was a good size. The salad was nicely balanced. The burger was also outstanding. The salmon was delicious and had a great flavor. Service was excellent from drinks to food. Highly recommend if you are in the area. read more

Super blah and average food, service and atmosphere. We stopped here on a whim and ordered breakfast for 4. It was so blasé and overpriced. Lemonades did $8 and pancakes that are out of a box. I very rarely give bad reviews but over $100 later (with a guaranteed 18 percent gratuity), this left me totally unsatisfied and cold. Skip this place read more
