The long narrow dining space, which was formerly home to Restorative Travel, is the product of the recently departed Muses crew and several other investors.

Half the menu offers standard tapas dishes as ceviche, prosciutto wrapped figs, and chorizo.

While the other half features standard American appetizers like mini-burgers, mac & cheese, and Caesar salad.

Entrees include a $10 dollar burger, a rib-eye ($27), a chevre and basil stuffed chicken breast ($18), double cut pork chops ($24) – and a daily fish selection (m/p).

Thus far the crowd seems to be a lively mix of the old Muses day-bar crew – making the particularly long bar area (for a restaurant this size) sure to come in handy.

Aura has an outdoor garden area for the warmer weather.

Word is: ‘try the pork chops.’
