Best European Restaurants in Aurora

The food was excellent. Staff were great. Nice music selection playing in background.

Nate was a phenomenal server, especially for Valentine's Day. We were running a bit late due to the weather and getting parking but that wasn't an issue. The salmon was seasoned to perfection, the quinoa's texture couldn't have been better, the zuccini, squash and tomatoes were flavorful, and the sauce was divine. Raspberry vodka was definitely an attention-catcher that led to a carafe of it, which we'll be back for another and to try more flavors. The grapefruit was also enjoyable, just not as tantalizing, but there's certainly something for everyone.

My wife and I dined at Ya Ya's for our Valentines Day dinner. We both had wines we really liked, which were not unreasonably priced. For an appetizer we decided on the bruschetta, which was seemingly simple but absolutely fantastic! Crostini with a goat cheese dip and plenty of tomato salad with garlic and pesto - yum! We did, however, run out of bread before the rest, so they brought us more at a $3 up-charge. We were not really expecting the up-charge, but no worries, as the extra was worth it for us. For our entrees, my wife had the pasta carbonara, which she loved, and I had the baked lasagne, which I also loved. The piece of lasagne was HUGE, and I loved the flavors of the sausage and the sauce and cheeses. Not too spicy - just flavorful. We would both definitely order those again. For dessert, we had the panna cotta, which we ordered two of so we could enjoy it a second time for the next day's breakfast. The one thing which was less than perfect, at least for me, was that we were seated in the central area where they typically serve their brunches, instead of some of the cozier and more romantic seating areas. In a perfect world, we would have preferred the back right corner, but it was still fine. The ability to watch the kitchen and wait staff work did provide for some interesting entertainment.

Le Bilboquet is a regular favorite for us. The new renovations have made it a bit cozier and the new private rooms I think a good idea. The food is always very good and dependable. We had the cajun chicken which was excellent. I also had the Dover sole, a special on Thursday's and it was perfectly seasoned and delicious. We also got the normal crab and avocado salad which again was very nice. Very good food, very nice ambiance and service. I highly recommend.

Such a great place! Excellent people and train watching, we were lucky to get that twilight magic full with outside evening lights. The food is really something, masterfully created and very tasty. Perfect music vibe and sound from vinyl records, hope to be back soon!
