Tina's review of AURA Tapas & Cocktail Bar

Tina
East Village, Manhattan
●8.0
⭐️ Overall: 7/10 💰 Price: $50–70 per person (including cocktails & small bites) 💵 Deposit: $50 required, typically for special occasions or peak nights 🍷 Drinks: • Whisky Sour – Well-balanced, slightly tart, smooth • Pinot Noir – Angeline – Light, fruity, paired perfectly with the cheese plate 🧀 Food: • Cheese Plate – Good, but honestly $31 felt a bit steep. Although it’s called a cheese plate, I expected some dry-aged meat like salami to go with it. (We didn’t come for a full meal, but I imagine the score would’ve been higher if we had tried more of their food) 🎶 Vibes: Romantic, cozy, warm — perfect for date night or a quiet evening 👩‍🍳 Service: Excellent & attentive Special shoutout to Arman — super helpful and even gave us free shots at the end! 🥂 💡 Tip: Bring a date or friends who enjoy wine & small bites. Be aware of the deposit on busy nights or special occasions. Would I go back? Definitely! Drinks, service, and the atmosphere make it worth a return ✨
