Aura Rooftop

Even though the weather was crisp, our experience at Aura was nothing short of fantastic! My husband and I found this gem during a long layover, and we couldn't have asked for a better spot to unwind. The food was absolutely divine --every bite was bursting with flavor, and the fish tasted like it had just been caught!Our server, Dylan, truly elevated our visit; he was incredibly attentive and offered spot-on recommendations. To top it off, he made sure we were cozy with warm blankets and even moved us to a charming spot by the fire. The ambiance created by the music added a lovely lounge vibe, making it easy for us to relax and savor our meal at our own pace. We left feeling completely satisfied and can't wait for our next visit!

I wanted to love Aura as the views and vibes are giving everything I wanted and more. Love the weather/winter-proof dome to enjoy Aura out of the elements. The pool area is posh and the service from staff was great. The cocktails did not disappoint. The food, however, was lackluster. The poblano queso was good, but was served warm and got cold and thickened almost instantaneously. The bao buns were quite tough and stale, but the pork belly fillings were delicious. Silver lining-- I didn't need the carbs anyhow.I'd love to return in warmer temps + enjoy the great outdoors, and the full glory of Aura Rooftop.

Beautiful views for only 5 stories up but overall weird experience. $110 drink for 4 came in a big plastic pitcher. Really? It looked like what the server at Chuck E. Cheese brings out for a kids birthday party. Not cute. The server then told us the bartender made it with blueberry juice instead of strawberry but the menu says hibiscus watermelon, huh? Also, Why wouldn't you ask? People have allergies and restrictions. Then they kicked us out at 11:00pm on a Saturday night because they close at 11?! We were there 90 minutes. The oyster restaurant was still open and we tried to order some food but they mix their frying oils so our friends couldn't eat due to dietary restrictions. The valet was $15 and we somehow were charged $27 exiting the parking deck after self parking because the valet stopped accepting. We were only there for less than 2 hours. Just a mess. Not worth it.

I was so stoked to check out this rooftop in the city that my brother recommended when I visited him with my mom. Unfortunately, it was temporarily closed. It was beautiful though venturing around. Definitely would come back again and try it out. I saw that they have a decent variety of food.

Aura is located inside the Marriott Hotel.I made reservations online because it usually gets packed. Order the sliders and tuna tacos 10/10 . The views were great, the ambiance is chill. Music played in the background whilst I enjoyed my moscato and bites. Service was great, the waitress was very attentive and friendly.

We stopped here for a drink as we were walking around uptown. This rooftop pool/restaurant/bar is located in the JW Marriott. You do not need to be staying at the hotel to go to the bar/restaurant. The rooftop takes reservations but we didn't make one. We were able to be seated right away. Our server was great and the atmosphere was lovely. I would definitely stop here again!

I recently visited this incredible rooftop spot in the heart of Uptown with a friend, and it was an unforgettable experience. The views were absolutely stunning, offering a perfect backdrop to our evening. The atmosphere was lively yet relaxed, making it an ideal place to unwind.I ordered the sushi handhelds, and they were nothing short of amazing. The flavors were fresh, perfectly balanced, and left me craving more. Whether you're looking for a place to hang out with friends or just enjoy some excellent food with a view, this rooftop is a must-visit. Highly recommend.

Located atop the JW Marriott in Uptown.The cocktails, like the "Pink Fairy in the Garden" and "The Queens Negroni" were deliciously refreshing. The brisket sliders were perfectly cooked, with tender, juicy brisket paired with B&B pickles and sweet onions that add a delightful crunch and sweetness. The combination of flavors and textures made each bite incredibly satisfying. Wish there were more brisket to balance out the bread. The White Chocolate Mousse and the Dark Chocolate Passionfruit Bar desserts were delightful, providing a creamy and richThe staff and service were wonderful. The rooftop's ambiance, with its chic, botanical decor and stunning city views, along with exceptional service, made it a must-visit spot in Charlotte.

We wanted to explore the Uptown rooftop scene so we started at this place. You will pass the gym on the way to the entrance and you will also see people lounging at the pool next door on the other side of the bar. Overall it seems like a better vibe on the pool side. Drinks were okay but I preferred the drinks at other Uptown rooftop bars which were in a similar price range and seemed more upscale.

Let me start by saying that my review is based on a visit during a very rainy night. We were coming from out of town, so we proceeded with our plan because we were really looking forward to experiencing everything we saw on Instagram. Sadly, as it happens oftentimes, reality did not meet expectations. There was no magical snowy greeting, the rooftop floor was flooded and they were not on top of it, creating a dangerous (and uncomfortable) situation for guests. The food service was slow and taste was subpar for a luxury hotel.
