Aura Cocina brings a modern Latin Asian twist to East Williamsburg. Aura Cocina is a clubhouse of sorts where men and women of all cultures come to network, flirt, be inspired and be seen. Our beachfront mint hues, sloping seats and the living wall of plant life will greet you upon entering. Aura Cocina is here to improvise, innovate, and to do something new.

Decorations good, the piano was good.i didn’t like seating next to strangers when they had plenty of tables open, drinks full off crushed ice so you barely drinking anything , skirt steak wasn’t medium well it was red and cold and the sides were 4-5pieces of sliced potatoes and two broccoli tasted good. The dessert was good. The worse part of all was the steak under cook and cold.I don’t suggest this place I left hungry and thirsty

Delicious Latin gourmet options, and the service was timely and professional. I would definitely go back, in fact, I went back two days later when they had live music.
