Very good place to visit. Everything we order is so far good and well prepared. Fresh ingredients and great enough flavors. You can taste good Mediterranean cuisine. We love their Arugula salad, too. Love everything, love the service, and place is nice. The only thing i gave 4 stars is that my scallops were a bit salty. I can say it is fresh, but we ordered 2 scallops plates, and mine is the salty one. I guess I wanted to come again to try their other menu, but I just got a bit discouraged with the scallops, which my friend said it is very good.

Me and my boyfriend came here for our anniversary and it was amazing! They made it so special for us, bringing us complimentary champagne and a special dessert. The food was phenomenal and the service was even better. An absolutely incredible place to go to!!!

An outstanding evening and dining experience. A true must any day of the week, but especially before the end of the year to sample the hand-crafted Sip & Sleigh 12 cocktails of Christmas uniquely created by Jared, absolutely delicious and your taste buds will thank you. We enjoyed a few choices and look forward to returning for some additional selections. Two thumbs up!! My wife and I returned for another outstanding evening at Aura with deliciousness from beginning to end and complimented by the truly superb hand-crafted cocktails of Emily and Genesis. You must go!!

Went here as a party of 2 for brunch on a rainy day. It was surprisingly crowded considering the weather. Every dish we ordered was fantastic and the service was great. My husband got the pancakes with maple butter & pistachio, I got the poached salmon nicoise and we shared the million dollar bacon and crispy brunch potatoes. The music was ridiculously loud though and I had to ask my husband to repeat himself a million times. There were some larger groups there that were enjoying the music and even up and dancing. Just a heads ip, if you’re looking for a quiet Sunday brunch, this place is not it.

Had an amazing dinner at aura last night. Took my parents out and they are tough critics when it comes to dining out and they were equally pleased as me. The crab cakes, salad, and fried calamari were well seasoned and fresh. My dad enjoyed his lamb chops. Our only critique came with the pork chop it lacked some flavor but was decent. Our waitress was attentive even when there was an issue with my dad’s drink she insisted on fixing it. Overall I give this place a solid 8.5/10 it’s been a while I found a LI restaurant that I feel like I’d return to!

Loved Aura in Island Park. Wonderful menu, unique food items with friendly attentive service. From the moment we walked in and were greeted by a friendly hostess to our great server and the person walking around making sure no one’s water glass was more than half empty we were treated with five star service. Food was absolutely amazing as is the ambience. My Halibut was tender and juicy with clams and chorizo. So different so delicious. My wife’s squid ink linquini and seafood was delicious as was my son’s streak which came cut as is done at the finer steakhouses. My only regret was not sharing our appetizers cause we did not have room for dessert. Drinks came with a generous poor. We will return soon.

Had the best time stopping by here on a Tuesday! My friend and I sat at the bar and were served by Jared and Jenna, who were the absolute best. The $1 happy hour oyster deal was incredible but what was even more surprising was how amazing the quality of the oysters were. The $12 martinis were also out of this world. We ended up getting a second round because they were so good. All around our experience was a 10 out of 10. I’m already excited to come back the next time I’m in Long Beach!

Everything about our dinner at Aura was exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were treated to top-tier service, and our server Krystal was absolutely amazing. Friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. She made our night even more enjoyable. The food? Incredible. We loved every dish. The scallops were perfectly cooked, the burrata & peaches were fresh and flavorful, and the grilled oysters were a standout. Even the drinks were on point, and we capped it off with the delicious olive oil cake. Aura nails both flavor and ambiance. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a high-quality Mediterranean dining experience on Long Island. We’ll definitely be back!
