Stopped by Aurora with a few co-workers on a Wednesday night to grab some drinks.

I went with the Ittinger beer, which like most beers I had in Zurich, was fantastic and rich in flavor. Afterwards I also ordered a cappuccino -- the flavor of the coffee was very pleasant yet strong, though the portion size was very small. Not a bad place and environment to chill for a few hours!

Go there for something new if you are bored but stick to your regular haunts if you know the food and service.

As a guest of a business associate, I shouldn't complain or mention price. However, for the prices…read morethey charged, I would have expected better levels of service. Now, don't take this as completely a negative review. This is one of those experiences that I believe should be broken down and considered a 1-time event. Others need to be considered and factored in overall. The food and drinks were very good. Fresh produce and ingredients that are reputedly locally sourced were prepared with limited seasoning to allow the quality of the flavored to be tasted. Many of our group had the schnitzel and none were disappointed. Food rating: 4 The setting and ambiance while a little loud was eclectic, relaxing, and actually fun. A movie screen and stuffed giraffe offset a very extravagant venue but in a light hearted and endearing way. Setting and Ambiance: 3 Finally, the service. There was a senior team member who seemed very much in control of the menu, had a great understanding of the options, and was very attentive to our table. However, he was trying to cover more than half the restaurant and was assisted by a young man who seemed to be working for the first time. On the evening we were there, the restaurant was full and the wait staff appeared overwhelmed. Several mistakes occurred on drinks that were ordered, or they were forgotten all together. Service: 2

What a great Greek food served here with a hard working family who must own the place. I saw the…read morefather, wife, daughter and a close cousin working very hard during a busy summer evening. The food I ordered was so delicious and at the end I wanted to have more room to eat, but I guess it needs to wait until my next visit. It was a very busy place, I almost didn't get a place to sit. And that was just me, one guest!!! Will come back again.

When in Switzerland, I chose the Schweiz Hypérion, Clos du Châtelard, Villeneuve. It was fabulous. The menu concept is a multi course with fixed price. All you need to decide is how many courses and what you would like as your starter, main and dessert. 4 courses was perfect for me and chose the delicious steak with a minor surcharge based on portion size. The service was amazing. The table linens were pressed and as fine as one would expect. The restaurant was decorated for the holidays and made it feel extra special. I loved my experience here and would highly recommend.

The Aubergine tartar felt light, healthy, & was a great starter. The sautéed filet of Pike Perch was light and just flaked perfectly. The Zurich venison was tender and the truffle foam sauce was creative. The duo of Zurich beef was such a beautifully creative plate that showed the beef in different ways & was delicious. The Wienerschnitzel was moist, tender & crispy on the outside. The filet of Icelandic Cod was perfectly cooked, flakey and soft. For dessert the white chocolate mousse with grapes was a refreshing, light finish and a great way to show variety in how to incorporate grapes in the dish. The yuzu panna cotta with fresh berries had bright citrus flavor & is also a light finish dessert. The chocolate cake is sweet and great for any chocolate lover.

I was really looking forward to this since it had a Michelin star. However, I was disappointed. We…read moreonly had a one-night layover in Switzerland, and I regret making a reservation for this restaurant. We ordered too much for the two of us. I didn't think we'd be full, but the meat was soooo salty that we couldn't eat anymore. Their comp bread was really good though! The tagliatelle was the worst pasta I've ever had in a restaurant. It was dry, and harder than al dente. The sausage I liked, but it was very salty. Ordering one would've been good enough. The meatloaf was okay, but it was hard to eat since it was also very salty. Having the egg added on was a smart choice in hindsight. The water costed 6 CHF each. $15 USD for water for 2 people (they didn't even refill the glass) is crazy...they didn't mark this on the menu, I would've just drank from the bottle I was carrying around. Maybe we ordered the wrong thing? But we also asked the waitress for recommendation, so this is a bummer...

Absolutely loved and will return. In a quiet neighborhood with locals, a 5 min walk from Marriot by Limmat. Outdoor seating on warm summer evening was lovely.

The service was very attentive and the food was decent. The classic veal meatloaf and the veal chop were good options. The barley risotto with burrata cheese was a little bland and the spinach ravioli was a little too salty. Most of the patrons seemed to be locals and everyone seemed to like their dinner served at a very leisurely pace so that they may enjoy their time with their companions; so don't expect a quick service.

Asked for a table in the main dining area, but was told no without a reservation. After dinner - main area was still not full, so that part of the experience didnt leave a positive impression. We were seated in the front area which has a few tables, with a mix of people having drinks and a couple of tables ordering the full menu. Not specific to this restaurant, but in zurich they have to list the origin of some ingredients including meats and fish. This is helpful when ordering. The pork cordon bleu was really good and I would have that again. Minus a couple if stars for the slow service and unwillingness to seat us in main area despite it being pretty empty.

I finally ate dinner here yesterday (Friday), and it was fabulous! You can make reservations via…read moretheir online system, but it only showed me the option for 8 pm, and I wanted dinner at 7 pm, so I had to call the restaurant to do that. When I arrived, the staff was really friendly and accommodating to my English-only speech skills and even gave me an English menu. They had a special daily menu that included a veal roast... with a guy wheeling a cart around that served up the veal roast with mushroom sauce, carrots, and polenta. The decor was really nice and the food was beautifully presented and tasted delicious. I ordered the veggie salad, thinking it was a garden salad, but it was actually a yummy antipasto of cooked veggies, including pumpkin, artichokes, and slices of Parmesan cheese. To try something new, I got the pumpkin strudel as my main dish. It came in a lovely flaky pastry filled with ricotta cheese, and you could really taste the amaretto in the sauce. My friend got the meatballs with rosemary gravy and leek mashed potatoes. I tried one of the meatballs, and it was tender and juicy. Prices are typical for Zürich. Dinner for two, including starters, main dishes, shared bottle of water, and 4 glasses of red wine (French Syrah Cuvée 2008, Château Haut-Blanville, Côteaux du Languedoc) came out to CHF 125.
