Wonderful Ambience and great service! The gentleman waiting on our table was excellent with his recommendations! A few more vegetarian options both in the appetisers and main course would be wonderful!

Food is good and service is attentive and excellent! The ambience was good at the start but because of a whole long table of dinner guests, the atmosphere for quiet dining disappeared.

Great food and good service - the service staff made an effort to engage in casual conversation which I felt was nice. However we were seated near a counter where a member of the staff was constantly preparing fresh napkins - we thought this was strange and rather distracting, which is a shame.

Food was excellent, service staff was equally excellent. The only thing I would suggest is to improve on their dessert menu. The upstairs outside area is beautiful to have pre dinner drinks although one has to make booking ahead of time

Lack of service excellence takes away from the stellar food, but still giving Aura a 5 and will recommend to others. I had the cod; my husband, the sirloin. Presentation, flavours, and portions highly satisfying. Tiramisu a bit heavy for me. Head to Smoke and Mirrors for a pre or post dinner drink.

Sorry for late review. My second visit to Aura. Overall experience was not as good as the first. Put it down to an inexperienced server, who forgot to serve bread until asked; did not replenish drinks until asked; did not inform us of wait-time for our choice of dessert etc. My steak, for which I paid a supplement, was not done correctly. Whole meal was very drawn out as a result. Otherwise, there were some good dishes and the senior staff made an effort to overcome obvious oversight of our server.

Located at National Gallery, I believe every visitors would have high expectations and so were we. Booked the table 1 month in advanced and we did we have one of the best booth table in the restaurant but the table design so terribly which the waiter could not reach further in for dish delivery or water re-filling. Secondly, the food was quite salty that we need to send one of the mains back for different dish; another pork dish was even cold in the middle was also sent back. It would be a lovely place for date night with not as high expectations but personally i will not visit again

Dined in on the 5th level preferred. After dinner, gone up to the 6th for desserts and drinks. Nice ambience and service is excellent. Try to pick your own wines cos their recomendations may not be your preference.

Quality of food went down significantly from my last visit, unlikely to come back. Burrata was not fresh and pasta was overcooked. Both the ingredients and the Chef manning the night were lacking.

Good value set lunch, waiter was very pushy with trying to upsell more expensive items. But felt like we were being kicked out of the restaurant as soon as we were finishing our meals. The waiter brought the bill to the table without us asking.

Beautiful and warm ambiance. The food was good, overpriced alcohol and the service can be improved. It lacks authenticity of an Italian place but it's hard to achieve without Italians running it.

Fantastic experience at Aura. The service was impeccable and top notch, from one of the waiters who suggested a more intimate table, to the surprise anniversary cake, to one of the staff who took our luggage we had up to Aura lounge. The pasta mains were excellent, as was the green salad with apple and truffles. The octopus unfortunately was tasteless, even though the texture was just right.

Food is not half bad , nice decor that lifts one's spirits , friendly & eager-to-please service , convenient location. Sky lounge a bonus to the great romantic night out. Might get a little noisy when big groups present. Otherwise, classy venue for a dinner date.

The restaurant acoustic is very poor and extremely noisy. The management must do something about it. I can hardly have a good conversation with a friend without having to raise my voice and shout across the table. The service staff was also a little absent minded. We had to repeat our requests.

Hmm, it was Just really odd that a family would bring four toddlers to dinner at a place like Aura at 7pm on a Friday evening. They either miss-read the restaurant as Swenson's or it was an act of extraordinary self-entitlement and arrogance. We felt for the wait-staff who were clearly embarrassed and for the young couple on an early date who had to endure the shrieks and cries. We would love to know what on earth the toddlers found on the menu to satisfy them? Or perhaps they bought their own? The food was lovely though the beef carpaccio needed more seasoning for my taste. Sadly, we ate quickly and left for the lounge upstairs given the circus troupe and appreciated the attention of the front-of-house team to find us a table.

Had a wonderful time at the restaurant. Alvin attended to us and gave us a wonderful recommendation to share starters and 2 pastas (especially the uni pasta) for our group of 6 people. Each of us then chose our own main. Alvin bantered with us through the night and he made our night even more enjoyable. Food was fabulous and service was en pointe. I didn't give it 5 stars as the staff in the upstairs bar dampened our mood. The bar was empty when we arrived at 6pm. We sat down on a sofa with a wonderful view of the Padang. One of the staff finally attended to us after about 10 minutes of waiting and told us the table we were sitting at might be occupied and he would check. When I received a restaurant reservation reconfirmation call earlier in the day, I asked if I need to book a table at the bar, I was told it wasn't necessary and that I could just walk in. Despite being relatively empty, the drinks took another 10 minutes to arrive, with still no word if we could stay at our seats. Finally, when our drinks arrived and I asked if we could stay at the table, I was told that they had to make some re-arrangments, but we could stay. The attitude of the staff was rather off-putting and snotty. I would advise people to go to the bar next door if you want to have drinks before or after your dinner.

Nice warm ambience and lighting; but no view, and tables were close together, so conversations were easily overheard. Food and wines - very good selections ! Most of the popular Italian dishes, eg. Buratta cheese, octopus, parma ham, were on the menu and well-prepared and presented. Service was prompt and moderately attentive. Local and Italian waiters were friendly and engaged in conversation, some telling "singlish-type" jokes too !

Place and ambience was quite nice, but a little noisy. Starter and pasta was good but the main was not as what we expected- the quail was cooked medium which didn't suit my taste, and the pork chop was not hot when served. They were kind to offer dessert to compensate though but we didn't take up their offer.

Booked it for lunch with my wife. Nice atmosphere, great service. Direct access from car park. Average food. Ordered the set menu, the tenderloin beef and cod were not cooked to perfection. Nevertheless, manager took the feedback sincerely and got the Chef to improve on it. Overall, a pleasant lunch occasion.
