    This is a beautiful brunch, lunch, and dinner spot in the Plaza. I've been meaning to try it for a long time. Staff were in very fun pride outfits today. The whole restaurant is decorated for pride month. The outdoor patio is nice. They started a new menu today too. The chicken tikka sandwich was good. Messy but tasty. I want to try brunch next time.

    If you didn't know better this place could have been on Melrose or Venice Beach, CA 5 stars for the ambiance... and the dirty chai.. My ONLY gripe, the kitchen needs to learn what Well Done means. Pink in the middle... not well done... still Moo'in! Hunger makes the best seasoning...

    @jamesbeard, @zagat, I'm talking to you and all the other Oklahomans out there ... and all those non Oklahomans who are close enough to get here.... Get here. Aurora is a smallish and quint little eatery in OKC, that delivers BIG on customer service and food. Not only are the portions huge, they are incredibly delicious!!!! We had all breakfast, brunch items including their "fork and knife" biscuits and gravy which a wonderful buttermilk biscuit , sausage patty and scrambled egg( what!) smothered in a country gravy and cheddar cheese.. wth. Their side of roasted potatoes and cabbage may sound ... odd, but they are banging. Roasted baby potatoes with sliced purple, cabbage, and onions roasted to crispy perfection. Eggs Benedict Solid!! Made from scratch buttermilk Pancakes, solid!! Coffee, solid! Bloody Marys, rock solid.!!! Best of all, our hostess, Meg, made sure our coffee cups were always filled ensured that all the condiments were on the table. There was plenty of butter, syrup to go round. She made the experience that much better even instructing one of the other employees who we asked to take a picture of our group, where and how to take a picture due to the lighting conditions of the restaurant. Overall, this quaint little restaurant packs more flavor and ambience into its small footprint than any of the other larger chain restaurants and will be returning as soon as we have the opportunity to. If you're in or near OKC, do yourself a favor and get you Aurora. This place is fantastic. Thank you!

    Got the order to go, but had a yogurt bowl and a hot "the basic" coffee. The yogurt bowl was a great way to start the day. The house made granola was fantastic! Provided additional texture and had great flavor. The coffee was quite tasty. Wasn't overly sweet, but just enough. Will likely stop for another while in town.

    Inviting and cozy.

    Nice brunch venue. Service was great. Food was delicious. I had the chicken and waffles and was very pleased with my choice. A friend had the pulled pork hash and I got to try it. It did make me almost reconsider my order. Drink selection was diverse and on point.

    Amazing! How have I missed this jem? The food and the atmosphere very comfortable and casual. Parking is near so just a short walk. You always should get on the waiting list as the place was packed. The food very fresh and seasoned perfectly. Loved the pulled pork, biscuits and hash potatoes. Squared everything away with a pineapple mimosas!

    The food was amazing!!! The burger was very fresh and was obviously homemade. The service was awesome sauce and she was very patient and kind to us! I love the gay flags everywhere being a trans person, this place definitely made me feel like I belong here!

    This place has a good vibe! They have a little bar and plenty of seating area. Food was good but the cinnamon roll took the trophy! It was warm, gooey, and a bit crispy. I'd 100% would love to come back!

    This was my first visit to Aurora in a long while, and I came away impressed. The portions are large and prices are very reasonable. We were seated almost immediately. We could not have been treated better or had any better service. Everyone ordered something a little different, and being a sharing family, we were able to try a bit of everything. I ordered the sarsaparilla pulled pork hash with two over-medium eggs. The eggs were perfectly medium, the pulled pork was tender - it was such a nice little dish. Well, not little. I wasn't able to finish it. It came with a side of a smokey sauce (maybe that was the sarsaparilla?) that I added. It was nice on the pulled pork itself, but I'd be more judicious and not just pour it in the dish. Everyone else's dishes were good too. I will note the biscuits and pancakes were heavy, but still pretty good. I've already told several people about how much we enjoyed it. To find freshly prepared food and great service at a great price is pretty rare these days.

    Do NOT get the chicken and waffles. Watery, full of blood clots and tasted like fish. Absolutely tore me up. Overpriced plate of problems.

    The food tastes artificial and full or chemicals particularly the gravy. Used to be edible now it causes digestive issues.

    We ventured out today for lunch after being home bound due to a winter storm that rolled in last…read moreFriday. We decided on The Press in the Plaza District. Good choice! All secondary roads are still snow packed so at 11:30 there was only one other couple in the restrauant. The Press is in an old (1920's ?) repourposed building. The interior is comfortable, charming and a bit whimsical. We started with an order of cheese sticks. They were very good and large. I liked that the cheese sticks did not have Italian seasoning in the breading. Jan ordered the chicken fried ribeye with mashed potatoes, cream gravey and green beans. Jan loved it. I took a bite of the chicken fried steak and it was excellent. The green beans were very good. They were loaded with garlic, which I love, but if you're not a garlic fan, I would suggest another side. I ordered the grilled chicked sandwich with waffle fries. The sandwich was good and the waffle fries were excellent. The portions are large and the food quality excellent. The prices reasonable. The menu has variety. You can't go wrong by dining at The Press.

    Such a treasure buried on a side street in the Plaza district…read more Delicious food, friendly and helpful staff await you behind the colorful teal door into this establishment. I've been here twice and each time leaves me looking forward to my next visit. Adriana was our server last time and did an amazing job. Quick to keep our coffees topped off and full of information about the food items I was considering. I had the Big Boi Burrito, and it was very filling and yummy. My friends chose the Press Cobb and Breakfast Bomb. They were both very pleased and stated there was many options on the menu they would be interested in trying.

    Locally owned in the historic former VZD's…read more Great food Great drinks Cool atmosphere Friendly attentive waitstaff All around good vibe

    Just don't go here…read more I've lived here for 5 years and by far the worst restaurant experience I have had in Oklahoma, and if you see my other reviews I'm pretty forgiving and tend to give spots the benefit of the doubt. This is a place worth an absolute flaming of a review.... But they already wasted enough of my time and energy today so I'll just summarize. No management on scene, no hostess, one server, two bartenders and a restaurant at 50% capacity on Mother's Day at 1 p.m. From walking in to having our orders taken, 30 minutes. 45 minutes later our order of roasted vegetable salad, steak eggs Benedict, and sourdough toast arrived. Salad was very well burnt but my mom was trying to be nice and didn't want to walk out. Eggs Benedict came out with two eggs boiled through, a hollandaise sauce with a sour smell and cold steak. I didn't eat it and no one seemed to notice, had it removed from my bill easy enough, but again zero F's given and no management showed daylight. Wife's toast actually arrived 5 minutes after the 'rest' of the food and the only thing hot and delicious. Toast here is $11, so there's that. No one cares here. From the health violations and poor food safety I saw in the kitchen, the multiple tables I witnessed sending back food to the multiple parties puzzled as to why they weren't being sat or once they were entirely ignored... it was so wildly bad I was embarrassed for everyone else having the same experience. Again, don't go.
