Aura Cafe - Kingston

We have trouble finding a pub meal on Mondays often the staff's day off. Southern Lights is open and it did a really good meal for the 3 of us, including dessert. We'd heard service could be slow here and it was. But to be fair we were the only patrons and they did a different main meal for each of us properly cooked and delivered and certainly value for money and in a lovely setting.

Six of us went to the Café for lunch. Staff were welcoming and explained the menu in detail. The food was delicious and well presented. Drinks were reasonably priced. The Seniors Lunch Menu is good value for money. The seating was comfortable and the premises were clean and spacious.

The schnitzel was disappointingly small for the price, the gravy was watery, and the salad was limp and uninspired. The service was slow and unfriendly, despite the restaurant being nearly empty. It's frustrating when establishments can't even cook basic pub food properly. There was a lack of passion in the food, resulting in a bland and boring meal. I won't be returning.

Staff were lovely food was wonderful. Would highly recommend visiting. Went on a Wednesday night and it was very quiet in the dining area which surprised me but it had a great ambiance. An open fire was all that was missing

This was an annual event for our club. More than 40 members turned up for dinner and entertainment. Outstanding result well managed by the staff and manager.
