Aura is known for its warm and cozy ambiance and carefully refined craft cocktails and dishes, this downtown space is an inviting and serene hideaway at the end of a stressful day.

Aura's year-round back patio is a favourite among its customers, with tropical plants, mythical graffiti, natural light and a candlelit atmosphere.

Staff was very friendly and welcoming. This reservation was my first time here and was very satisfied with the level of service. Food was really good and drinks tasted great also. Space was smaller than expected but I guess that is also partially because off season for patio, would definitely go back and really want to go back during patio season to check out the patio vibes. Overall great experience and will for sure be going back

Would one thousand percent recommend this place. I LOVED it! Our server was fantastic, we had the opportunity to sit out on the back pation - in OCTOBER! They had a nice little heater when it started to get a little chilly. The drinks were delicious, as was the presentation. I will be coming back and I've already started to think about hosting work events and or my birthday here. What a gem!
