    This is a beautiful brunch, lunch, and dinner spot in the Plaza. I've been meaning to try it for a long time. Staff were in very fun pride outfits today. The whole restaurant is decorated for pride month. The outdoor patio is nice. They started a new menu today too. The chicken tikka sandwich was good. Messy but tasty. I want to try brunch next time.

    If you didn't know better this place could have been on Melrose or Venice Beach, CA 5 stars for the ambiance... and the dirty chai.. My ONLY gripe, the kitchen needs to learn what Well Done means. Pink in the middle... not well done... still Moo'in! Hunger makes the best seasoning...

    @jamesbeard, @zagat, I'm talking to you and all the other Oklahomans out there ... and all those non Oklahomans who are close enough to get here.... Get here. Aurora is a smallish and quint little eatery in OKC, that delivers BIG on customer service and food. Not only are the portions huge, they are incredibly delicious!!!! We had all breakfast, brunch items including their "fork and knife" biscuits and gravy which a wonderful buttermilk biscuit , sausage patty and scrambled egg( what!) smothered in a country gravy and cheddar cheese.. wth. Their side of roasted potatoes and cabbage may sound ... odd, but they are banging. Roasted baby potatoes with sliced purple, cabbage, and onions roasted to crispy perfection. Eggs Benedict Solid!! Made from scratch buttermilk Pancakes, solid!! Coffee, solid! Bloody Marys, rock solid.!!! Best of all, our hostess, Meg, made sure our coffee cups were always filled ensured that all the condiments were on the table. There was plenty of butter, syrup to go round. She made the experience that much better even instructing one of the other employees who we asked to take a picture of our group, where and how to take a picture due to the lighting conditions of the restaurant. Overall, this quaint little restaurant packs more flavor and ambience into its small footprint than any of the other larger chain restaurants and will be returning as soon as we have the opportunity to. If you're in or near OKC, do yourself a favor and get you Aurora. This place is fantastic. Thank you!

    Got the order to go, but had a yogurt bowl and a hot "the basic" coffee. The yogurt bowl was a great way to start the day. The house made granola was fantastic! Provided additional texture and had great flavor. The coffee was quite tasty. Wasn't overly sweet, but just enough. Will likely stop for another while in town.

    Inviting and cozy.

    Nice brunch venue. Service was great. Food was delicious. I had the chicken and waffles and was very pleased with my choice. A friend had the pulled pork hash and I got to try it. It did make me almost reconsider my order. Drink selection was diverse and on point.

    Amazing! How have I missed this jem? The food and the atmosphere very comfortable and casual. Parking is near so just a short walk. You always should get on the waiting list as the place was packed. The food very fresh and seasoned perfectly. Loved the pulled pork, biscuits and hash potatoes. Squared everything away with a pineapple mimosas!

    The food was amazing!!! The burger was very fresh and was obviously homemade. The service was awesome sauce and she was very patient and kind to us! I love the gay flags everywhere being a trans person, this place definitely made me feel like I belong here!

    This place has a good vibe! They have a little bar and plenty of seating area. Food was good but the cinnamon roll took the trophy! It was warm, gooey, and a bit crispy. I'd 100% would love to come back!

    This was my first visit to Aurora in a long while, and I came away impressed. The portions are large and prices are very reasonable. We were seated almost immediately. We could not have been treated better or had any better service. Everyone ordered something a little different, and being a sharing family, we were able to try a bit of everything. I ordered the sarsaparilla pulled pork hash with two over-medium eggs. The eggs were perfectly medium, the pulled pork was tender - it was such a nice little dish. Well, not little. I wasn't able to finish it. It came with a side of a smokey sauce (maybe that was the sarsaparilla?) that I added. It was nice on the pulled pork itself, but I'd be more judicious and not just pour it in the dish. Everyone else's dishes were good too. I will note the biscuits and pancakes were heavy, but still pretty good. I've already told several people about how much we enjoyed it. To find freshly prepared food and great service at a great price is pretty rare these days.

    Buttermilk pancakes

    I went here on a Saturday morning when they opened at 8 am. Our party of 4 found a table we liked and were served promptly. This place had been on our short list of places to try for a few months, and we're glad that we were patient to line up our schedules so that we could try it together. I ordered my standard measuring stick for breakfast/brunch places: buttermilk pancakes. These were everything I want out of a stack of pancakes. They were served simply with butter and syrup. The texture was fluffy and light. I didn't need to use much syrup because it absorbed so quickly into the pancakes. They were served hot, so I got the pleasure of watching the butter melt almost instantly as I applied it to the middle and lower layers. The others in our group enjoyed their meals. A highlight was the chicken and waffles. We appreciated that they served this dish with bone-in fried chicken. In our opinion, too many restaurants are using chicken tenders instead of bone-in chicken pieces. The waffle was also spot on. The person who ordered it said that he would have liked it cooked more crispy, but he couldn't tell if the waffle simply got softer after sitting under the chicken while it made its way from the kitchen to our table. Our server took great care of us. He had recommendations ready for those of us who asked for them. I visited the restroom during our visit. I was impressed with how warm it is in there. That makes it more pleasant to do whatever it is that you need to do in there when the temperature outside is cold. Looking forward to the next visit to sample more of the menu -- especially that $6 burger during happy hour!

    We ventured out today for lunch after being home bound due to a winter storm that rolled in last…read moreFriday. We decided on The Press in the Plaza District. Good choice! All secondary roads are still snow packed so at 11:30 there was only one other couple in the restrauant. The Press is in an old (1920's ?) repourposed building. The interior is comfortable, charming and a bit whimsical. We started with an order of cheese sticks. They were very good and large. I liked that the cheese sticks did not have Italian seasoning in the breading. Jan ordered the chicken fried ribeye with mashed potatoes, cream gravey and green beans. Jan loved it. I took a bite of the chicken fried steak and it was excellent. The green beans were very good. They were loaded with garlic, which I love, but if you're not a garlic fan, I would suggest another side. I ordered the grilled chicked sandwich with waffle fries. The sandwich was good and the waffle fries were excellent. The portions are large and the food quality excellent. The prices reasonable. The menu has variety. You can't go wrong by dining at The Press.

I've been here twice and each time leaves me looking forward to my next visit. Adriana was our server last time and did an amazing job. Quick to keep our coffees topped off and full of information about the food items I was considering. I had the Big Boi Burrito, and it was very filling and yummy. My friends chose the Press Cobb and Breakfast Bomb. They were both very pleased and stated there was many options on the menu they would be interested in trying.
