    Delicious food, and the place has been done out so beautifully - was a little quiet on our visit which was nice (after a hectic Christmas) but meant the atmosphere was lacking a little. We will definitely be back though, the food was superb.

    Beautiful decor of the Santa buffet. Staff were very polite and punctual to help with any requests and very helpful in any way they could. Brilliant service.

    Air con blowing hot and cold so room temperature running cold. Fillet steak was tough so definitely not up to the £39 price tag. Gents toilet wash area littered with paper towels ! Music, decor and service great so will return for a second opinion.

    Lovely place, really good food, and good service. Acoustics of the space is not great, it is a little bit loud, but overall a really good experience.

    Lovely meal and experience at Aura. Staff couldn’t have been more welcoming and friendly. Food was absolutely delicious, best vegetarian meal I’ve had out in ages. Beautiful setting and nice ambience.
