Auden

My entire experience from the second we walked in was incredible. We received a birthday card and glad of bubbly for my fiancés birthday.Upon placing our orders, we receive ashwagandha shots-alcohol free with a rim of spice. It was DELICIOUS! I was contemplating ordering another one.The crawfish samosas were perfect, the pasta- second on the menu, starting with an "A" was scrumptious.The chicken 65 was finger-licking GOOD!! Must try!The mix of authentic twists and flavor was amazing. I had a wonderful time here. The service, the attention to detail, the restaurant, and atmosphere was soothing. Such a delicate place, and so much to offer!Can't wait to come back and try the brazino!

Came here to celebrate my birthday with my sister and the food was really good. Overall a great experience between the food and the service. Ambiance is also very nice!We started off with an order of the Hokkaido milk rolls, the kale Caesar salad, the octopus, the cauliflower, and scallops. All the starters were fantastic!!!! The milk rolls were so soft and fluffy. The kale Caesar salad was better than I had expected. The octopus was tender and the sauce it was served with complimented the octopus very well. It was a bit spicy but so delicious. The scallops were cooked perfectly and I love the corn purée it was served with. Cauliflower was roasted perfectly! I wish the pieces were cut a little bit more, but overall very good.For our entrees, we got the whole fish/branzino which was very good but just be aware of bones. It was super flaky and the green sauce it was served with was delicious. We also got the burger and it was a very well made burger. Also highly recommend that. Overall great experience!! There's no need to valet here. Do the self parking option, walk over and Auden will validate your parking for up to 2 hours!

Was pleasantly surprised how good the food was here. Every dish we got was super flavorful. Cocktails were also great. I wouldn't get the brambleberry fizz drunk again though. We loved the stracciatella and octopus for starters. Unfortunately they were out of the duck when we went so we got a shrimp this instead. Shrimp was super flavorful.Highly recommend checking this place out if you're a foodie.

Had an amazing experience at this restaurant. When you walk in you will notice immediately that the space is not huge the restaurant has a more intimate setting which I loved! The service from the hostess to our waiter was incredible, our server knew the entire menu in and out with very detailed explanations of each dish that I asked about. And last but far from least THE FOOD was phenomenal! Every dish they brought out had a completely diff flavor but EVERY dish was so well balanced nothing over powered one another. The food and its portions were so good we never got past the starters! other then to the desserts which I can't wait to eat again. I can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu. This restaurant , its staff and chef have brought together a very warm and comforting experience for fine dining.

Been here on 2 occasions - once for dinner and once for drinks. Their brambleberry fizz is truly remarkable. It takes about 10 mins of shaking, so the foam is delightful. It's their take on a Ramos gin fizz. I also liked the not your nana's martini. It was quite dirty, so it's the perfect way to get salt into your system after a workout. I also enjoyed the golden hour.In terms of food, their octopus is excellent - tender and flavorful. Their scallops are prepared skillfully, and the seafood was quite fresh on the weeknight evening that I had visited. The stracciatella dish was a highlight for me - the cheese was super smooth and went perfectly with the warm bread. Service was friendly but not overbearing. I also appreciate the 2 different amouse bouches they provided.For parking, there is valet or paid street parking.

The ambiance was really cute and and made for a great date night. I loved the service. The server was quick, and knowledgeable and gave good input! I think I loved the cauliflower most! I ate ever bit and the brussel sprouts very really flavorful as well.

A small yet cute restaurant. Reservations are necessary. Their menu often changes and has unique items like a delicious pasta dish with a tikka masala-inspired sauce and staples like ribeye steak with mashed potatoes. We tried all the breads at our table and my favorite by far was the scallion hotcakes. The caviar and Crudo was a unique appetizer. The taste of the tater tot did somewhat overpower the delicate flavors of the fish (but still was good). The branzino was an excellent dish and beautiful. It comes as a whole fish though they were happy to debone it for me. The herby green sauce this came with was wonderful.

The flavors and execution for every dish was excellent. Service was great and not overbearing. Bartender was top notch h. Loved everything about our experience. Beautiful restaurant and we will be back.

I would rate this restaurant 4.5/5 stars, but I'm rounding up because we had just a great server and that just made the whole experience even better!Everything I ate was cooked to perfection, especially the octopus! That's a must-try if you like octopus because it was so tender and juicy without being mushy. The beef short ribs are also a must-try--the short ribs were incredibly tender and flavorful. The scallop ceviche also gets a shoutout from me because the flavors were unexpectedly bright, and brought out the natural sweetness of the scallops.I also want to mention that there is Indian influence with the flavor profile of many of their dishes.The only thing I didn't particularly care for was the tres leches cake because the cake itself wasn't already soaked up with the milk mixture and was a bit dry and rough. The flavors were perfect but the texture was the opposite of what I'd typically expect from a tres leches cake.

Upon entering Auden, I was immediately struck by its ideal location, bathed in natural light that created a warm and inviting atmosphere. The restaurant's tasteful décor, complete with real plants, gave the space a serene and vibrant ambiance, making it the perfect setting for a memorable evening. You definitely want to dress up and look cute for this place.The culinary journey began with the scallop ceviche appetizer and plantain chips. The delicate scallops offered a delightful combination of flavors and a melt-in-your-mouth texture that left me craving for more. The plantain chips were also a hit and, surprisingly, the salsa, prepared with bell pepper, had a subtle hint of tamarind, adding an unexpected twist that elevated the overall experience.The cocktail selection at Auden was nothing short of impressive. Each concoction was expertly crafted, boasting a delightful blend of flavors that were both refreshing and easy to drink. However, it's worth noting that what we paid for cocktails was slightly higher than what we paid for entrees, so it's worth considering your preferences and budget accordingly.As the evening progressed, I found myself indulging in the decadent desserts, and I can confidently say they were the highlight of the meal. The chocolate was rich and artfully presented. The portion size was generous, making them perfect for sharing among friends or loved ones. To complete this gastronomic journey, I highly recommend pairing your dessert with a perfectly brewed espresso or a velvety latte, which adds a delightful finishing touch to the experience.It's worth mentioning that the overall cost of the meal is approximately $250. While it may seem like a splurge, the inviting atmosphere, and feeling tip top is an investment for a special occasion or a memorable night out.If you want nature and city, Auden's prime location, tasteful emerald furniture, and warm ambiance creates an enchanting dining experience. From the delectable scallop appetizer to the homemade red sauce with its unique flavors, every dish showcased the chef's expertise and creativity. The cocktails, though pricey, were crafted well.
