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.

3 service crew stand at the side of our table almost throughout the whole dinner to fold napkins and they chat throughout. Lack of privacy and dampen the nice embience .

Food was great and the atmosphere was also very good. The service was excellent - rare for Singapore - but here is definitely an exception to the rule

Friendly service. Nice seating. Place was noisy due to it being a full-house Friday but we enjoyed ourselves, thanks to the nice decor, tasty pasta, and smiley service.

Service was deplorable. Waiter was rude to say the least. Starters were served very shortly after bread was offered. Mains followed before we had finished our starters, so they were just placed next to our starters.

Food taste good but it's a pity that it's not warm enough. We are quite upset with the service level, not attentive and it's slow.

Food was great, especially the Grilled Octopus we got as a starter. We also had the Parma Ham. This was nice too but felt the Octopus was better. Had a steak that was not on the main menu. Nicely done and rate it highly though have to say that it is not the best around. We were also recommended a sea urchin pasta which sounded interesting but decided to keep it for another time. Good selection of wines. For dessert, we had the Pannacotta and the Cheese Cake. Both were a nice, light way to end off the meal. Great ambience and atmosphere. Service staff are very friendly and they give excellent service. Special mention to Push - thank you for your recommendations. Would also recommend a visit to the Sky Lounge for drinks before dinner. Good panoramic view of the city from City Hall through Marina Bay to Raffles Place and overlooking the Padang. Go early for happy hour prices. Would definitely visit again.

My Husband and I were there to celebrate his birthday. Food was great and ambience was nice until larger groups start coming in and it became very noisy. Service stuff was friendly.

The view was beautiful the service was attentive, but still managed to slipped on all the things I requested, eg. inform my guest for the table changed, and use my credit card. The food was a bit under-seasoned. The price is a bit high. The Japanese group behind our (supposed to be romantic table) are very very loud.

The food is good and the waiter is very friendly and attentive. However, the place is a bit noisy probably due to the low ceiling

The atmosphere and service was good overall. Food too was good, but I wouldn't say it was outstanding. The print and pricing on the menu was too tiny to read in the lighting of the restaurant. Needs to be in slightly bigger font! Will I go there again? For the atmosphere and location, maybe, but not for the food.

Great food and good service , more choices of wine by the glass preferred . Also can serve better coffee instead of lavazza . The museum cafe had a better coffee option as beans were from papa palheta

Lunch set is a terrific value for money meal with 4 courses. The succulent scallop starter was fresh and tasty with salmon roe and urchin sauce . Followed by pasta called trofie in delicious truffle porcini sauce. Choice of black cod or sirloin for main course . The grilled beef was tender and juicy. Finished with refreshing dessert of mango sorbet , chocolate millefeuille with raspberry . Beautifully presented and service staff was very attentive and prompt with each course .

Food was great and the service was excellent too. The staff offered to prepare pasta off the menu for my children and also adjusted the pasta for my mom who needed it to be in vegetarian. Great experience.

This is my second time visit. Last time I ate dinner and this time we enjoyed lunch. Foods are nice and we enjoyed appertizer, main and desert on the 4th floor. They kindly accept our request to have tea at the 5th floor. However, tea have not been served untill we go down to 4th floor and ask to staff. We ordered Ice tem but straw was brokened one and tea was taste like made by used tea leave... Very disappointed.

The wines were good and the ambience was fantastic. Love the restaurant deco. service was a little slow, have to wait for almost 15 mins for the wine order. find food a little too salty. Food was a little not up to me and guests' satisfactory. servers were friendly and ambience make up for it. I would give a 3.5-4 out of 6 for food. But rest will score a full 6.

Aura has an excellent ambience. The interior design is elegant especially the marble divider between seats. Service is good. Unfortunately, my duck confit came without the crispy skin and the accompanied wine pear was hard. Other than that, it is a nice place for business lunch and friends gathering especially at this grand refreshed old parliment house of Singapore.

This restaurant caters to clients with entertainment accounts. Looks good. Noisy. Food nothing to shout about. I was surprised that the slow cooked pork was not even fork tender.

Lovely experience for the first time. Waiters were attentive and friendly. Recommended dishes were good and they surprised my husband with a birthday cake after a friend we bumped into wished him. Nice gesture to end to the lunch.

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!

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.

Good food with nice ambience although spoiled by some guests in shorts and round neck t-shirts and flip flops. Having cash in wallet does not justify poor dressing!

Very good service, we were ushered to our table quickly and efficiently, given the menu and order for 2 set lunches taken promptly by smiling and gracious staff. Restaurant has a lovely decor though acoustics weren't the best, very noisy as sounds were echoed. Food though reasonably priced was ordinary, a tad heavy and creamy as both the artichoke cream soup and prawn pasta were heavy on the cream. Dessert of chocolate cake slices with nuts and berries was well-presented but some of the nuts didn't taste that fresh. Coffee too thick for our taste but the slices of toast that came before the soup were crunchy and delicious. Perhaps the ala carte selections were better, but I believe the set lunch usually is a good indicator of general food quality. As a frequent traveller to Italy, perhaps spoilt by the exacting standards there but all the hype led us to expect more.

Service was good. It's just that the place was warm and a bit noisy for a planned Romantic dinner for two. Food portions were just right.
