“ You can expect the same cozy and festive atmosphere as before but with more than a new name. The menu is new, and while it has held on to some of the favorites from Madeline, like the to-die-for butternut squash soup, there are many new and exciting choices. The scallops small plate is an outrageously delicious blend of flavors that take your taste buds on vacation to paradise! Plus they take reservations, and it's recommended to do so. We tried to walk in a few times and they were booked solid! ”
“ Gerry and his staff were amazing. Atmosphere was relaxed, food was incredible, staff were attentive but not overly so, Gerry makes a mean cocktail..! Highly recommend a visit, you will want to go back. ”
“ I thought I found a winner! Apparently I am not the first to give this place 5 stars. The Calamari was delicately crisp without a hint of oil. My dining partner and I were overwhelmed by the entree's balanced spices and temperature. Really special outside on the patio. Lots of parking and easy access off the I-95 hop off and on quickly. ”
“ We had an absolutely delightful lunch there on a cool, sunny Saturday. The outside seating couldn't be more pleasant, and Julio was a very pleasant and attentive server. The food was delicious -- the mussels, chorizo, and bean tapas was light but just big enough for lunch, especially when accompanied by their amazing bread. My wife ordered her Caesar salad with a grilled chicken breast, which was grilled and seasoned well but still super juicy...seemingly not a combination that some chefs can do. My son got his rigatoni exactly as we ordered it (restricted diet), again something that we've had trouble with elsewhere many times. We loved it here and can't wait to come back! ”
“ Really like cafe Madeline. It's almost like the chef is personally cooking your food for you. Great flavors, not a large restaurant but gives a really nice cozy feeling while eating. Full bar. Easy to see from the road whilst driving. Ample parking. It's worth making a reservation and not being disappointed in waiting for a table. ”
“ This is one of our favorite restaurants. The food and service here is exceptional. This time I ordered the chicken Parmesan with penne pasta. My girlfriend had the seafood pasta. Both meals were excellent. We always leave room for dessert, we had a bourbon pecan tart which was really good. ”
“ Lots of very tasty dishes. Good bar and bartender. The bartender was nice enough to write down the ingredients of one of the delicious drinks they had there. It's called a lemon drop martini. Very easy to ask for variations of a particular dish. My wife and I really enjoy the whole experience. We've been back multiple times. ”
“ I worked with Byron for a 40 person catering order and had an amazing experience end to end. Firstly, he was extremely helpful to help determine how much to order. Secondly, his communication around delivery and logistics was perfect, and he even went out of his way to bring the party ice when we ran out, which not apart of the order. Finally, the food was truly delicious (and hot!). We got bread, salad, short rib ravioli, steak rollatini, chicken shitake and pasta. All the guests loved it and we are eating leftovers 3 days later. I cannot recommend Aurora's more for a meal or catering event. Thank you Byron!! ”
