Today I visited Aurora in Green Square Sydney today for its public soft launch. Arriving for an early launch lunch (12:17) and many seating options. We chose a wooden two person table, the choice focused on the number of people we were, all the tables were wooden (pictured below, far below).
Our table had a good view of the rest of the restaurant, from which the accompanying photos were taken. Surveying the restaurant’s decor, it’s nice and floral (not shown) with some disappointingly regular yet enticingly Escherian bookshelves (shown).
Closer to a more normal lunch time the restaurant started to fill up (12:34), a sure sign of success for any launch or petri-dish. The people who served us were very friendly, and only slightly overwhelmed. They triumphed over the crowds and soon brought us two drinks, one cold, and the other also cold, but probably more so. The drinks arrived on wooden boards with metal twigs.
Tessellated onto the table with the drinks were two more twiggy wooden boards, supporting one cake each. I’ll now garnish them with the appropriate descriptive accoutrements. One cake arrived like royalty, should royalty arrive in an elevated glass perched on a wooden board. The other cake was served on a relatively simple grey plate, but despite the lack of fanfare, it left much more of an impression.
I won’t pour over the details for a drink review, the novelty of this restaurant over the owner’s previous iterations is of course the food, which is probably what you’re most interested in hearing about.
The food was OK.
