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!

The restaurant is in an enviable location on level 5 of National Gallery Singapore. Service is attentive and I know several of the waiters from their previous incarnations which makes for a very warm welcome. The food is of good quality. I'm looking forward to trying more of the menu.

Aura was lovely! The food was great, brunch set was a real value for money. We also loved the aka carte octopus starter 😍. Our server Shafiq was also very helpful and friendly, helping us to change our order once we realized we had ordered a pasta that was already included in the brunch set. 😊 additionally, as we were celebrating a birthday they put a little happy birthday sign and candle on birthday boy's dessert! overall a great experience!

Generally excellent. Push, the manager, was his usual attentive and charming self. My dining companions who were there for the first time enjoyed their food and will return in future.

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 an enjoyable birthday lunch over at Aura. Attentive staff noticed me giving my lunch partner her birthday present, he presented our dessert with a candle to celebrate. We like our crabmeat salad and Beef Sirloin. Overall great ambience, great food, good price.

The experience was fantastic. The staffs were attentive and their services were efficient. However, the food served was too fast. They served both the entree and 1 of the main course together.

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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...

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.

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 !

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.

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.
