If you’re aiming to impress, Aura seems like a fine place to accomplish that. The ambience is refined (the view at their rooftop bar is amazing), service is attentive and the food comes with a touch of finesse without being unnecessarily obtuse.

We were honestly surprised with the hefty portions, especially with this dish of octopus. Sous vide for over seven hours, this was delightfully tender and came with a nice char too. Hidden beneath was a nice little surprise; a deep-fried fritter made with eggplant that made for a nice crunch. You’ll be glad to know that you can also get this on #BurppleBeyond! Pretty crazy value if you ask me. 😝
