Weekend dinner plans should look a little something like this. 🍽️

Our Chicken Williams brings together boneless chicken thighs, sautéed pears, white balsamic, rosemary and garlic, served with fingerling potatoes, baby carrots and broccolini.

Savory, slightly sweet, and the kind of dish that deserves a glass of wine alongside it. 🍷

Your table is waiting at Cafe Aura. Make your reservation and join us this weekend.
