  I love Aura! Yes, if you need garage parking, it is expensive, but the food and service are first class. As for the brunch, everything comes out in small portions so it is always fresh. Honeycomb provided from their own bees, real REAL maple syrup--where else do you get these things? Nowhere. I am a vegetarian, and they have lots of choices for me. Carnivores, plenty for you as well! Their Hollandaise sauce is amazing. Need anything you don't see? They will make it for you no questions asked. The waiters are absolutely amazing. This is a first class restaurant and my wife and I try to go as often as we possibly can. I do wish they would stay open later for brunch. They close at 12:30. And to be a accurate, the tip is included in the price-not added to the price. It is around $24.00 with tip, coffee, juice. No up-charges. My local joint charges $14 plus $2.50 for coffee plus $2.50 for juice + a tip - basically the same price for a far lower quality experience. Another think I love is that Aura is quiet and upscale. I can have a nice relaxing conversation with my wife, family, and friends as we eat.

  Went here on New Years Eve and shelled out quite a bit of money up font for a 4 course dinner. We were sat promptly at 8PM and then the waiting started. At 11:15 PM the 3rd course had yet to arrive. Our entire half of the restaurant was in the same boat. Although half of the restaurant received their food in a timely manner my table was not a part of that group. We asked our server to cancel the remaining two courses and to refund half the bill so that we could leave and still catch the ball drop at midnight. Our server refused to refund anything and even after speaking with the manager we were refused any sort of refund on the meal. To make things worse 18% gratuity was automatically added to the bill. Although the food was decent it wasn't great and it very over priced. I would not wish this experience on anyone. With so many great restaurants in Boston I would not bother wasting time and money at this one.

  We came here after purchasing a Google Offer deal - $69 for a three-course dinner for 2 ($175 value). Great way to be introduced to new restaurants we have not been to. In our case this was not a good introduction, we did feel intentionally deceived.
  
  While food was great and service were fine, we did feel cheated as the deal we have purchased with $175 value was totally deceiving. There is absolutely no way with Aura's limited menue a dining couple can order a three course dinned up to that amount. We were not allowed to order lobster ?! (the most expensive item @ market value) and we do not eat meat. However even if you ordered the lamb @ $38 (the second highest priced item after lobster) plus the $15 appetizer and a $10 dessert for each of two people you would still stay far below the $175 value of the coupon.
  
  Did not feel like a fair proposition and left a bad "aftertaste" :(
  
  There are too many great restaurants in Boston, with great food, great service and great atmosphere - in this case unfortunately we will not be back.
