Nice restaurant located at a wonderful museum/ gallery. There's a set lunch menu or you can choose ala carte (mostly western). Service staff very friendly. Good food, not exorbitant in prices.
Service was great. Reservation via Quandoo made it foolproof; last time a reservatiom made over the phone got messed up. The pork chops milanese were excellent.
Appetisers: the scallop crudo was nothing spectacular, needed more acid to mask the raw taste. The truffle salad was surprisingly good though, with an aromatic and strong truffle taste . The caviar and crayfish pasta, as well as the oxtail pasta dishes were good. The chestnut panna cotta with Mandarin coulis was a nice way to finish off the meal with something light, especially after the heavy pasta. Service was attentive and prompt. The restaurant was rather noisy and packed at lunch time though.
Good service and great food that is well plated. Air-conditioning could be a notch lower.
We were there to celebrate a friend's birthday and a delicious tiramisu (on the house) topped with a candle was presented as a surprise to the birthday girl. We were served by Suraj, who was incredibly attentive packed with wit and humor. Of course the food never fails to disappoint. Nicely portioned with balanced flavours, which brought out the freshness of the ingredients. Overall it was a pleasing experience.
We had a pretty good experience with the restaurant all in all: Pros: - great service - quality wines - generous portions of food Not so pros: - balance of flavours in some dishes could have been better - e.g. opposing flavors in the scallops with crudo, and lamb chops were a little salty Overall, recommended!
Good brunch menu, reasonable wine prices, served in a nice bright cheerful room topped off with efficient service staff who knew exactly what to do.
Nice food and location. Price was affordable. However I hope we can have dinner at the 6th floor not the 5th. Overal we enjoy the dinner
Ambience was good but food was overrated. Price is reasonable, but I have expected better quality pasta for that price. Good place to bring on a date!
Decent quality, but hardly outstanding. All diners had 3 courses for dinner - all different dishes but none of us were particularly impressed with any of them. The dishes were mostly OK with 2 negatives. Much as I like truffles, the salad was over-done with truffle oil. 1 special of the day was lobster (served with pasta) - described by the diner as mediocre. Our party of 3 paid over S$400 for the meal (which included 5 orders of regular alcohol eg. beer etc). I think we could have done better elsewhere at the same price. I guess there's a premium for dining at the location
very attentive staff, stylish decoration, a bit pricey. Food tasteful however portions are comparatively tiny than normal, it looks even smaller in the artistic big dishes, although it's expected .
food quality and presentation were good. Very generous on the meat portion, personally it will be great with more veggie. service is reasonable good as expected. cleaniness is good as expected.
Excellent food, great service and beautiful ambience. Value for money prices with the excellent food quality. Warrants a second visit and maybe more. Highly recommended.
We arrived Aura on a Sunday for lunch. Beautiful ambience and well cooked Italian dishes left my foreign guests an impressive memory during their stay in Singapore
Great ambience, but restaurant was rather hot and with the full house, it was even warmer. Food was okay, nothing special. Service was slow. Appetiser came quite quickly but after the plates were cleared, it was another 20 mins before we received our main course.
Gorgeous view, friendly service, though drinks a touch slow to arrive at the beginning. Drinks reasonably priced considering, and I will return on a weekday happy hour! Strangely quiet for (admittedly early) on a Saturday, which kept the atmosphere just a bit too quiet.
The food was awesome and the ambience was great. The waiters were friendly but I felt service was a little slow considering that the restaurant was not full.
Very friendly staff, food was exceptional. We had the Weekend brunch which was great value for $48++ and discount for Gallery members. Great location and decor. Highly recommend and will definitely go back.
Very attentive staff. My guests that I was entertaining like it very much. We were even allowed to go up to their sky lounge to continue drinking our wine
Fabulous food. Tuna tartare perfect, delicious pasta. Delectable tiramisu the right proportion of cake to cream with a gold leaf peanut on top!!!...excellent service from very attentive staff ...amazing view from bar on roof. Recommend..
This was me and my wife first time at Aura restaurant and I will say the service and the food was the best. Just a bit sad that the restaurant very noise but if you think on the brighter side which is good. Reason because it's full house. We'll sure visit this restaurant again for our next Anniversary again.
Service was good & attentive. One of us had only an hour for lunch. They noted this & made it a point to serve her dishes quickly to ensure that she's not late.
Restaurant ambience was good, food was really tasty and servers are attentive. Only down side is that the restaurant gets a bit noisy when it is packed. :)
Atmosphere was nice but the restaurant should ensure the fish in the main course is completely deboned, especially since Aura is a fine dining restaurant.
It was a nice place, albeit small. The food from set lunch menu was good, but not somewhat spectacular that we will come back again for.
Awesome service! Probably the best in Singapore. My girlfriend had her bday and from the greeting over timing of courses to serving a surprise dessert it can be considered a perfect service. Made a new reservation right away...
Good location, easy parking. Great ambience in restaurant, good service and excellent food. A tad too noisy, especially from large group of diners and moderately over-priced.....
Good lunch. Would have scored full marks if not for the slightly slow serving of food, which is quite important for lunch in the weekdays.
Great service, wonderful food, in a convenient location. What is there not to like?
Excellent service! Great food and wine recommendations by Dave. Food was great!! We will be back!! Atmosphere and decor were tastefully done and there is an amazing view of the city to grab a drink either before of after dinner.
Food was average. I've been taking my friends to Aura for their birthdays but my friend n I were disappointed with the food set lunch today
The food was just ok and the service was abrupt. Starter, mains and two glasses of wine came to S$180, not cheap for a so-so experience.
Food was good and nice ambience. However, it felt like they were short of service staff and they seemed rather flustered
disappointed that we were charged a cake corkage of $8 per pax, unreasonable. food was so-so, nice ambience. overall ok but unlikely to go back again
My guests have a great time at Aura. Food and service were good. They shared that they will return with their family. Only small thing is they have forgotten it was my friend's Bdae hence no surprise candle on the desert. This is my return trip !
Absolutely beautiful view with fantastic food. The truffle pesto pasta was sublime and will definitely be back for it again soon. Service was top notch. One of my best dining experiences.
It's been a while since I had pasta this good. The Artisanal ones were packed quite a flavour without being overwhelming, while the Traditional ones felt very rustic and what my friend said "brought him back to his trip to Italy". Ambience was overall lovely, and the host/waiters were al very helpful in explaining some of the more unknown Italian cuisine jargons. Would love to go back soon.
Food and Service were good, but price of recommended dish should have been made known since it was almost 1.5 times that of set menu. Uni pasta was served cold and main course took some time.
Ambience, the restaurant no privacy and too noisy. Bar is better. Food is nice and quality is good. View is good Location is superb. Service is attentive.
The service was first class, the food tasty with great size portion for a set lunch. The menu had interesting choices. I would highly recommend this venue for its friendly ambience, efficient service, perfect for a lunch time treat and good value for money.
Wonderful set lunch! The pasta was so greasy and the service was attentive and polite. I would definitely recommend this to any one who is looking for a great lunch out.
Good ambience excellent service but food was a bit disappointing. Not very original and not great value either. One to impress visitors. Best feature is the bar and view over Padang
Nice food and attentive service. A place where we'll revisit. Good thing we were placed away from a big group who got a little loud through the lunch!
Went for the Sunday Brunch menu. Service was good, servers were attentive and infomative. Food was tasty and portions for the starters were generous. Tried all the mains as we went as a group of 5. The smoked duck main came with a well sized foie gras making it really value for money. Was rather disappointed with the beef main. With a top up of $22, I was only served 3 silvers of meat. That said, the dish was well prepared and the beef had good marbling.
Excellent service and nice food selection from the ala carte!
nice ambience and attentive service. food is good and beyond the average fare you get at other italian restaurents. price level is slightly on the high side in the restaurant and sky bar though
Good service, good food. It was my birthday so they had a little special thing prepared in my dessert. Shame though that I wasn't able to get a nice table with a view because the restaurant had the upper level closed for a private party
The food and service was impeccable! My girlfriend and I ordered a main (Smoked Duck with Foie Gras) and a pasta (Pork Cheek Tagliatelle) to share - the chef actually split the pasta into two portions for us, very thoughtful and well-appreciated. Our server was very friendly and checked on us enough to see how we were doing. Great ambience and lovely place for special occasions!
Great embience, great food, good service, affordable price, good experience. While you're at it, get a museum pass to make full use of your visit.
Excellent food and service with nice ambience. Will come again.
