Great spot right on the beach! The food was delicious, the drinks were reasonably priced, and the atmosphere was fantastic. It's the perfect place to relax, enjoy a great meal, and take in the beach views. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a laid-back spot by the water!

Restaurant is good, enjoy it every time we go. However the concessions that Aura runs for Hollywood beach is AWFUL. I’ve been multiple times and the food is ice cold, service is bad, staff moves incredibly slow so there’s often a long line. Overall would recommend to never go to the concessions - which is unfortunate since sometimes you want a quick bite instead of sitting down at the restaurant during a beach day. Hopefully they can step it up since the previous restaurant which occupied the restaurant/concession space always killed it and hot dogs aren’t that hard to get right… for now my reoccurring bad experiences at concessions have tainted the restaurant as a whole for me so I likely won’t be back to either.
