Setting: lunch review Overall: awesome

First straight ticket 5s. Damn.

Sure, all diners know you can get in on the best at a bargain by doing a lunch. Still, this was exceptional.

We met just before 12 on a Friday and chose 2 3 course lunches including soups made from local produce, Hake, chicken and a sorbet finish. They also started with a toro amuse bouche. The three course lunch apparently rotates weekly.

Everything was spectacular. The service was attentive without being stupid. Each dish was a presentation in fresh, well prepared ingredients that left us full without drowsy.

What did this adventure in gastronomie set us back? Three courses per person about $19.

So the question is: where the hell is everyone? Even between 12 and 1 there were some Park Cities Biddies in there, but the place was no where full. Does Dallas even have WAGs? Is it more important to be seen at West Village than at an actual fine dining restaurant?

Chef-owner Avner Samuel is a true genius in the kitchen! Yes, it's true that Aurora's awfully expensive, even before you order wine or leave the tip. But you'll feel as if you're dining in Paris... and it's worth a splurge.
