Christopher's Aurora Bistro

Christopher's Aurora Bistro Restaurant Reviews:

June 03, 2005        Christopher's Aurora Bistro fits its Central City Historical Zone setting perfectly. Located in a century home, the bistro's days-gone-by appeal continues with its calming interior of subdued colors, ecru linens and classic black chairs. Chef Christopher Shydlowski changes the menu bimonthly; you might be able to sample his excellent bruschetta and New England clam chowder, or try the standout salad of spring mix and chopped romaine with candied walnuts, blue cheese and sliced apples marinated in vanilla-scented orange juice. A refreshing mango sorbet comes to the table before beautifully presented entrees such as roast Muscovy duck breast and Chilean sea bass; starch choices include saffron risotto and spinach, chive and Yukon potatoes. On a summer night, you might want to slip out to the patio for dessert and succumb to the house favorite, bread pudding with chocolate and caramel sauce. Review By:
