The Scene – A dozen tables fill this small, romantic restaurant. Enter through the velvet curtain into a room lined with a neutral micro-suede fabric, a backdrop to white table clothes, candles and rosebuds. Waiters in tuxedos uncover plates in unison, adding a very choreographed, friendly and welcoming atmosphere. A private wine cellar is available for parties of up to 10 people. – – The Food – Meals start with a complimentary appetizer from Chef Avner Samuel; the restaurant's signature farm egg custard topped with truffles presented in an eggshell.

It's Ok
by Ferrari442 at Citysearch
With so many high quality restaurants in Dallas, each needs something to make it stand apart and make you want to come back for more. While Aurora's food is good, so are many restaurants in this city. I don't mind the small portions, as I am tired of places where the portions are overwhelming for a normal person. However, the prices are on the ridiculous side for the quality. Also, there were too many tables which meant no bar or waiting area to enjoy a pre-dinner cocktail.
- Pros: Generally good food, friendly service
- Cons: Over priced, too crowded (# tables), no bar area

Revived atmosphere with the same great food and service
by nataliecay at Citysearch
I went to Aurora for their $18 three-course lunch. I was pleased to see that the atmosphere had been given a face lift and felt fresh and revived.
The food and service thankfully remained at the same level you would expect from Aurora. The food was delicious and expertly prepared. We finished the meal full and happy with money left in our wallets. A great deal and may be the best kept secret in Dallas....

decent lunch place
by cmk1126 at Citysearch
This place used to be great at lunch. But the menu has changed, and I think the food is worse when Avner is in the kitchen. The mushrooms I loved have taken a turn for the worse (i.e. smaller portion and none of the delicious sauce). Everything was too salty. Etc. This was a favorite of mine, so I was truly deflated after my last visit.
- Pros: decent value at lunch
