Aurora Hotel reviews
4 Star Review by Erick T
Spacious space that can fit a lot of people. Service was alright and can depend on how busy they are. I had the Mexican parmigiana which is OK. Comes with salad, chips and gravy which is great as it can make you feel full. Flavour wise is just ok as the Mexican component was just the sour cream and jalapenos. At least it's crispy and fresh.

5 Star Review by Robert Oldfield
We had my sons 21st birthday there in April 2022 for 60 people. We had concerns because of a second 21st with 120 people. We were concerned about the food platters arriving intact and potential mix ups at the bar. None of this happened. Arvin and Stella did a wonderful job. They arranged for the food platters to come in via the stairs and they separated the bar. Everything went like clockwork. The food was plentiful and tasty. Alcohol was cheap in comparison to some other roof top bars. Considering it was an open bar, the average cost of a drink was just under $8.00. There was also continual (but unobtrusive) security, which was reassuring. In summary, a great night at a great venue. We would not hesitate to use it again.
