Executive Chef Mike Trudnak recently returned to Aurora located right on UCF Campus in East Orlando at the Celeste Hotel. The restaurant known for its emphasis on fresh, locally-sourced food, colorful flavors, stunning ambiance, and refined service, is gearing up for Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining once again – read on for the details and menu highlights as well as details about our Instagram Giveaway contest!
Aurora is once again partnering with Visit Orlando to bring you a 3 course dinner menu starting at only $40 as part of #magicaldining!
Running from August 16 – September 30, this is a great way to enjoy delicious items at an unbeatable price. Try something you’ve never imagined, or stick with a familiar favorite. Or, better yet, explore a new combination every time you dine!
A portion of the proceeds will benefit a great charity, The Mustard Seed of Central Florida, which makes dining that much sweeter!
This promotion is always a hit, so it is strongly recommended that you make a reservation for your dining experience. Fridays and Saturdays are quick to fill up, so if you are looking for a more laid-back experience, consider selecting a weeknight reservation.
