    New crunch and tasty experience with seabass that is a pleasant surprise and tasty. Both seafood and vegetarian pastas have delicious sauce that had the right balance of sweetness, smoothness and somewhat fulfilling. Quantity is on small end but price also is modest. Cant wait to try out steak next time.

    Matthew our waiter was great, the hostess not so much - a smile goes a long way. The menu is overpriced but there's definitely quality. The lack of better dining choices in York region let's them get away with it I guess.

    Excellent food. Good wine list, although no longer 50% off wine on Wednesdays. and too much California on the list. If you like Red wine, Try the TNT Touriga Nacional from Portugal, great wine, best value on the menu. Service was close to stellar. For some reason, this Aurora Locale is much better than the King city location. Better food, better ambience, better service.

    Place was loud and got there to a less than half a glass of water and water was not cold. Waitress didn’t seem happy to work there. Can’t get a small side salad and pizza was not that great. My friends pasta had a huge clove of garlic she bit into.

    I've been here quite some times and the experiences were good. But this time the pork belly I got was all fat and hard to chew. From the shape (one piece was a triangular prism and the other was too thick) I suspect the pork belly was trimmed off pieces, because the other time I got two pieces of good ones. For the first time I didn't have a bite of the second piece of pork belly. I think they should let me know that pork belly was sold out and I can order other dishes.

    Even though Locale Aurora isn't in the city, I'm so happy to find a fancy brunch spot close to home. The decor and ambience made me feel like I was downtown. The selection looked amazing and you can tell everything is fresh. Our server was super attentive and made great recommendations. He went above and beyond to get us extra plates and new forks even though we didn't request it so we could enjoy both sweet and savory dishes. I'd def come back for brunch and try out their dinner menu too.

    The meal was good, it was all we've come to expect of Locale. The brewed coffee maker was not working, we were offered Americana espresso as an alternate, it was bitter and strong, hopefully brewed coffee will be available on our next visit.

    We have been many many times. we brought friends who were never there so I raved about it. Firstly service was constantly asking do you know what you want, no substitutions at all even with allergies, and must put both apps and main course at same time. alcohol drinks took so long to come. as did the bread.... my friends were starving.... the branzino that we have ordered many times before was ok, no flavour, the margaritza pizza was ok, even the grilled calamari use to be mouth watering... it was just there. 4 of us , 2 drinks 2 appetiers, 2 desserts , 4 main courses(2 being pizza) came to $300. not going back so fast. oh and the music was blasting where we couldnt hear ourselves think.

    We love the decor at this place. $22 for a pizza is steep. We far prefer this location and mill make the longer drive. The waitress realized it was a special occasion without us saying and went the extra mile. We will be back!!!!

    We were a group of four old friends meeting for lunch at this location. The patio is lovely, secluded and covered, with good ventilation and the rays of sunshine coming through. The food was excellent and the service very good. I had the grilled calamari and would enthusiastically recommend it. The only slight problem was that there were a lot of wasps around us. It would be a good idea for the establishment to install wasp deterrents around the patio. I would recommend this place to family and friends. Next time we are going to try the one in King City.
