The stunning lightshow of auroras wouldn't be visible without the combination of unique elements. In turn, we know that true beauty can be found when people from all walks of life come together under one roof for a shared purpose. This is the spirit of Aurora at the Celeste. We believe wonder is created in the midst of communal experiences, particularly over a shared love for delicious food and captivating atmosphere.

An immersive concept set apart from all others in Orlando, Aurora is a restaurant experience that captures vast attention through colorful flavors, stunning ambiance, and refined service. With an emphasis on fresh, locally sourced food, Aurora is a glimmering spectacle within the Celeste Hotel experience.

Our reservation was for 8. We didn’t get seated until about 8:20-8:30. Everytime we went to the host stand to inquire about the table, they kept saying 5 minutes or they would say the table was being cleaned. But the time just kept extending. Drinks: 10/10 Appetizers: 8/10 - Oxtail empanadas lacked seasoning. But the fried cheese and the duck confit were good. Entrees: 6/10. Everything literally just lacked seasoning. My sister ordered the medallions Medium Well and they came medium rare. But we didn’t complain. Desserts: 9/10. Desserts were good. Overall experience 6.5/10

However, we do apologize that your meal did not live up to our commitment to elevated flavor. We want every dish to be bursting with flavor, and there is no excuse for falling short.

We had a delicious dinner at Aurora, thanks to Magical Dining, and plan to visit again now that we discovered it! The staff and management were friendly, engaging, and unobtrusive. The food was innovative, and the supernova was both decadent and visually delightful. Definitely plan to share the supernova!

Thank you for joining us for Magical Dining! We are so glad you tried our Supernova, which is absolutely a show-stopper! We are also thrilled our service was such a highlight of your experience. We hope you will visit us again soon!

Our server Ethan was very nice. The food was sub-par. It seemed like mass produced banquet/wedding food. Not the elevated experience we expected. We had heard great things about this restaurant and really wanted to like it, but unfortunately we will not be returning.
AuroraResponded on 30 September 2024
Thank you for dining with us! While we are so glad Ethan's service was a highlight of your meal, we apologize that your food was not up to our usual standards. We do strive to ensure every plate is flavorful and elevated through both ingredient selection and presentation. While we understand that your confidence in us is shaken, we do hope you will give us another chance to prove our dedication to memorable dining experiences.
