    @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.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    My wife and I tried Aurora Cafe for the first time today and really enjoyed it. I had the chicken and waffles and highly recommend it -- it was delicious. My wife's Eggs Benny Biscuit initially had an odd taste, but once we mentioned it, the staff and chef responded immediately, apologized, and remade it without hesitation. Mistakes happen, but the way they handled it was outstanding. Great food and excellent customer service -- we'll definitely be back.

    Coffee is always on point. Food has been great as well. It's always a great spot to get in last minute but don't let that fool you, a staple in the Plaza District. I've only been there for breakfast and brunch. (So don't quote me for dinner)

    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.

    Oats and fruit.

    My ultimate favorite place to eat breakfast. Their lattes are excellent, and their food is divine. Great service, and atmosphere. My friends and I eat here weekly after yoga.

    The food here is very good for what you pay for and the iced lattes were amazing. I enjoyed the outside patio area as it was covered and allowed pets! The service was a little slow but we did come at an odd time. All in all would recommend a breakfast date here if you are in the area!

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.

Unique choice for sauce with mayo, but it did not disappoint. Dinner bread with oil was also served. We then ordered the Lobster & Ravioli, Pork Milanese, Brick Chicken and Chicken Polpettine Campanelle. The portion sizes are large. The Brick Chicken was incredibly moist but lacked flavor although it went very well with the pasta. The Pork Milanese was breaded and seasoned perfectly would have went very well with some pasta. The Chicken Polpettine Campanelle was flavorful with a kick. The flavored blended nicely. The Lobster & Ravoli looked delicious although I did not try this. Presentation was beautiful. It was all served quickly and hot. We were there to celebrate a birthday and Mother's Day and Alicen did take note. When we were finished eating she asked if Lemon Blueberry cake was ok and proceeded to tell us the history of the building. That was a nice story and who knew. We ventured to the washroom and the up to the 3rd floor to check out where the guards stood. Then down to the lower level to check that out as well. The details in and on this building is simply amazing, beautiful. Perfect spot for an intimate dinner in perfect lighting.
