Saturday before Paramount's show, without reservations we stopped in for dinner. There were 3 or 4 empty tables but the Hostess had to check with her manager if we could be allowed a table?! She came back and escorted us to a window seat which was a perfect spot. It took our server a fair amount of time to come... More

It's nice to have a "quality" restaurant in downtown Aurora. But, the lamb was undercooked, the scallops slightly undercooked, and the owner sits in the bar talking on the cell phone. The food is very tasty and you'll open your wallet to pay for it. We hope it makes it as we don't have too many other good dining choices... More

We went on a busy Saturday night after the 4PM paramont show. It was obviously challenging to handle the people finishing dinner before the 8PM show and the people coming in after the 4PM show. The staff made the appropriate priorities to get people to the theater while still handling the new people arrriving and acknowledging they were a bit... More

Hubby and I have been going here for several years. Have never met anyone more passionate about food than Amaury! He frequently explains the menu to your table personally. Ingredients are local and the highest quality. We get the 5 course tasting menu and are always delighted. Never miss the molten chocolate cake for dessert, though all the selections are... More

The food was prepared by the chef who visits each table. He cares about his customers and prepares food in a sustainable manner. The menu changes with the availability of ingredients. Worth a visit.

We went to Chef Amaury's and were walk ins. Warm welcome, great wine and beer list. I started with a salad that I cant quite recall what it was but it was fabulous. I never had anything quite like it- only complaint is that I wanted more. I followed this with the Hanger steak. Not my favorite cut but it... More

My wife and I have been joined by friends now for over a half-dozen wonderful dinners at this outstanding and dependable restaurant. Not only is there a good variety of appetizers and entrees but each is skillfully, inventively prepared and presented. The four-to-six of us dinning together normally order a variety of items and exchange tasting portions. Yesterday evening the... More

We decided to try this restaurant as we had theatre tickets and Chef Amaury's is a short walk from the theatre in Aurora. What a wonderful surprise that absolutely everything about it was first rate. Everyone in our party of 4 was pleased with their food choices. I won't describe each dish as the menu changes every week. They offer... More
