A Listers At Aurora in Ipswich

New Asian Fusion Menu- you have to try! Stopped by on the way home from work, 2 for 1 cocktails, beautiful views, nice music. We stayed longer than expected and ordered from the small plates menu- 10/10 Everything delicious Duck pancakes Bang bang cauliflower Prawn Tempura Chicken Gyoza All cooked fresh! We will definitely be returning, if you’re considering trying A Listers at Aurora just do it! We will be back!

I had a lovely meal at A-Listers! Our server (Faith) was absolutely lovely and so helpful, she made sure everything was a perfect experience for us to celebrate my partner and I’s 5year anniversary. She was super friendly and approachable. Huge thanks to her as she served multiple tables on her own!

The roast beef was incredible! Juicy, tender, and perfectly cooked.

came to Aurora for bottomless brunch with a group of 9. Georgia really looked after us, attentive and friendly service at all time. Food was good and plenty of drinks 😊

the place has changed a lot not my kind of vibe anymore

We had a bottomless brunch for my daughters 21st birthday, from the moment we walked in the staff were brilliant, very helpful, food was lovely & cocktails were lovely, service was good no waiting around, music was good , we all had a brilliant time . Good value for money with a brilliant atmosphere thanks 🤩

Didn't get the order wright and stopped serving by 23:45 when stated should be open to 2an

The nicest and best bar tender I’ve ever experienced! Great time

A good spot for lunch or a simple drink. Nice team of people.

Our waitress ELLA was amazing, she was so attentive and provided the best bottomless. We were topped up with our drinks the whole night!

Ella was amazing- great waitress, very attentive and made our night xxx

Ella was our waitress. She was speedy, attentive and so lovely 🥰 greatly appreciated

Had a really lovely time. Ella was a fabulous hostess xx

Bottomless brunch was great and Shelby was a lovely waitress 😁

Love the atmosphere here. Shelby bought our drinks over in a timely fashion I really felt like I got the most out of my bottomless lunch. Would recommend do a friend xxx

Shelby was amaze! Brought us our drinks in a good time and so lovely. She’s a queen, slay xxx

Shelby is the queen of customer service. Get her a promotion right this second. Absolutely stunning service and made the night so much more enjoyable. She was a babe! Thank you Shelby ❤️

Ella is amazing! Thank you so much! She’s worked her absolute arse off this afternoon and her shift is no where near over! Thank you so much! She even took off the toilet paper off my shoes! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Ella was amazing. Quick service and so so friendly. Would defo come again

Second time I’ve been now , I went on Mother’s Day was a roast and food wasn’t great , plates hardly touched and the staff knew it wasn’t as they couldn’t apologise enough offered refund . Then went for my birthday last Sunday and the afternoon tea wasn’t great , only homemade thing was the sandwiches , the brownies where tiny and the wrap was literally Caesar sauce and lettuce , the sausage rolls tiny Ava definitely frozen , considering was £23-34 each depending what drinks I just thought over priced and not great quality , staff okay though , real let down. Presentation looked good in the pic but that’s about it

I recently had an incredible experience at this restaurant! From the moment we walked in, the service was exceptional—attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. The staff made sure we felt comfortable and well-cared for throughout the meal. The food was absolutely outstanding, with every dish crafted to perfection. The flavors were bold, fresh, and beautifully balanced, showing clear attention to detail and quality ingredients. Each plate was presented like a work of art, making the entire dining experience even more memorable. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for amazing food paired with fantastic service. It’s clear they take pride in what they do, and it made for a delightful dining experience. I'll definitely be back!

Something bad happened to me here and I will not return staff were also keen to get the incident out of the venue which put me in danger. Be aware

We had a great meal at this wonderful marina-side restaurant recently and the service was exceptional (thank you to Georgia, our waitress). Well worth a visit.

Came here for bottomless brunch on a Saturday afternoon in October. Table for 11 booked. Went for Eggs Royal without the hollandaise, was absolutely lovely! (Pictured) You can order any food for the deal, it doesn’t have to be off the brunch menu! I had bottomless drinks, mainly Pornstar Martinis, 10/10. My friend had Prosecco. A great choice of drinks. There was a DJ who played great music, it wasn’t all that loud, so was fine for talking. Great location and view. I feel like the staff could have been more attentive. However Bottomless cocktails for 2 hours for £25 isn’t bad! If you’re just going for Prosecco, it may be cheaper/easier just to order a bottle instead going for the brunch deal. We had 3 non drinkers on our table, which wasn’t a problem, so thank you for accommodating that. I’d recommended!

Food wasn't anything to be excited about, not creative or executed particularly well. Typical 'instagram' destination for those trying to fake a bougie existence. Slow bar service, isn't what it used to be.

Visited for a friends birthday and sat in the private room. Cant fault the service from the young girl serving us however the food was terrible! We all complained food was cold. I had the burger and pork belly bites. Burger was warmish and fries were like cardboard. Pork belly bites were anemic and no way worth £8. Wife had Nachos and popcorn chicken. Nachos again cold and popcorn chicken so over flavoured it was uneatable. Safe to say we both don't feel great this morning. Bill was over £300! Sorry Alisters…. might be a nice place to drink with a nice atmosphere down the waterfront but the food is awful. At least get nachos right!

Great location, not to busy, relaxed environment with friendly helpful staff.

Great bottomless brunch really nice environment and atmosphere upstairs, staff were attentive and friendly

Shelby was an amazing host, looked after us all incredibly well

A nice bar to have a drink, albeit a little noisy (well loud to be precise) for these sixty something ears. That said we enjoyed our visit there

Went for bottomless brunch. Cocktails mixed to order. Great service from Ella and her colleagues. Food also excellent. Live DJ gave a good atmosphere. Around great experience. Amazing value for money.

Ella was very attentive and all the staff were great. Wonderful atmosphere and 10/10 service ! Thankyou Ella

Ella was a loevly server! Amazing food and drinks came one after another! Will come again !!

Georgia was so lovely and really looked after us

Ella was excellent!!! Drinks were constant and food was lush. Definitely come again.

Been coming here for years. Phoned to reserve a table and told we couldn't outside. Then thrown off.our table by the manager. Food is lush. Cocktails definitely watered down. Service is below proffesional. Such a shame x won't be back x signed regular.

Came here with the work lot for a pre-booked meal. Staff were lovely, very friendly. Food was nice and very filling. We were in the VIP area which was sectioned off and had it's own garden area, which was lovely. Not sure on price as that wasn't up to me!

Always a good place to go for a chilled evening.

Faith was brilliant and so attentive. The food was amazing!

Had a great time here during their Saturday brunch. The best thing was the staff who were attentive and cheerful even though they were working their socks off, they were always checking if we wanted more drinks. The atmosphere was very relaxed with a dj playing. Great place if you are planning a party or want a goid time with friends. Definitely going again soon.

Charlotte was amazing she looked after us and was so attentive, thank you so much

Charlotte was amazing. She was so helpful. Thanks for making our experience such a great one

Amazing food and drinks with really good prices, staff have given really good service! Lady who’s the director, is amazing at running the place, don’t know how she does it. Impeccable service and everything, definitely returning!

Great service. Amazing food. Quick refills. Can’t fault it.

Georgia was the best waitress at the brunch, drinks were never empty! Food was delicious.

Excellent waitress Giorgia! Brilliant afternoon for hen do.

Georgia was fantastic! If you’re coming for a hen, she’s the waitress you want!

An amazing afternoon celebrating a hen do with ages 30 to 70 and around 20 of us. Brilliant service from Georgia our waitress!! Food great, drinks great, atmosphere too. DJ on point. It's a memorable time. Thanks to All involved. 5 star all the way!

Both the food and staff were honestly 10/10 and we couldn't have asked for a better waitress in Georgia. She successfully managed a huge group of 20+ hens and kept our drinks topped up at all times. Thank you Georgia & Team Aurora

Georgia was so good with our crazy hen party!

Always have a fantastic meal here. Great atmosphere and welcoming staff. Our waitress Georgia was very good and looked after us for the whole evening. Thoroughly recommend, it’s a beautiful location on a sunny day or for a meal on the balcony watching the sun go down.

I think others would enjoy the new owners changes, personally I feel its lost the sophistication. So I don't want to review it badly because others were definitely enjoying themselves and the music etc. I wish the owners much success for the future 👍

Shelby was a great waitress very attentive and super helpful!! Lovely girl :)

Ella was great. Attentive and friendly

Georgia was amazing!!! We love her!!

Georgia is the best ever!! Made the whole experience 10/10

Great food and service, Georgia was amazing :)

Ella was very quick and efficient with our drinks and food

Ella was fantastic, perfect throughout the evening and was polite and deserved the full tip

Georgia was fabulous, music a bit too loud.

Aurora (or A-Listers as it’s now known) isn’t normally my go-to venue as the service has historically been awful, however I joined a group of friends for a late lunch & today I received the best service I’ve received. The staff (shout out Georgia) were attentive, and topped up my friends’ bottomless drinks at regular intervals, food was fab and the DJ was great!! 🔥

Music a little loud but maybe im old. Food nice. Service good particularly Georgia who had the perfect blend of attentive, professional and friendliness, she was excellent.

Georgia was fantastic! Food could have been warmer but overall lovely brunch x

Great staff very busy😘, chef needs to chill on the service bell!!

Went for bottomless brunch today, lovely food, amazing service and brilliant atmosphere. Georgia was especially lovely.

Shelby was lovely, quick service, friendly and professional

Bottomless selection is amazing, all the coctails are yummy. The food is delicious and generous portions. The music was spot on too. Been twice and very happy both time.

We went there for Sunday brunch. Very clean place, nice setting, and food was delicious. Quantity was good, we were not hungry at the end of our meal. We have a plant-based diet, so went for their vegetarian (nut) roast, which was very tasty. All elements on the plate were well cooked, well presented, and flavourful.

Another lovely Sunday lunch, food was lush, service fab as ways, see you again soon

Quick service and Ella was so lovely xxx

This girl belongs in the service industry. I work in the industry and I know what it means to be this way as a member of staff. 100/10 service from Georgia!xx

Georgia is amazing!! She looked after us so well during our bottomless brunch and made our experience extra special! I work in the Industry and she really is a fantastic member of staff who should be very proud of her work ethic!

Georgia was absolutely golden from the moment she greeted us to the moment we ordered our last drinks. Nobody is more made for this job than this young girl. Invest your time into her, she’s amazing xx

First time having a meal at A listers at auroa it was absolutely amazing the food was fresh and hot well presented, although a busy Mothering Sunday lunchtime the wait was minimal the atmosphere was great and staff pleasant. Well done to the staff and exceptional praise to the chef..

Been three times since A Listers took over, food is absolutely fantastic and they cater very well for gluten free. All staff are friendly too

Well I last reviewed this place 6 years ago and what a change has occurred, 1 star review changed to 5 stars throughout! In December we had a Christmas party here and I was increased by the quality of food and service especially for the price! Today I took my mother for her birthday, just a nice Sunday roast and now she it talking about getting the widows of the village together there for the next outing so needless to say she is impressed too. Roast is great and so are the puds! Mum didn't want her face out there so here are the approved photos.

Grace Shelby and Georgia are amazing. Great service with a smile. Definitely be coming back. Great night. Thanks

The food was awesome. We were served by Pav where nothing was too much trouble. He really made our visit extra special. Thank you!

Had an early dinner on a Friday and although there weren't many other diners (it was 5pm) it still has a lovely feel about it. Sat upstairs and and had fillet steak with sides, it was 10/10 on flavour and cooked perfectly (med-rare). The staff know how to look after customers, not intrusive but there when you need them, very polite and friendly and really good at their jobs!! The kitchen staff clearly take pride in their work and produce beautiful dishes, both taste and appearance. I would highly recommend a visit.

We had my daughter’s baby shower on 13 th January . Was AMAZING !!The staff so help full The manager Emma organised it with the help of Jessica who was on duty that day . The went over and beyond . The food was amazing . We had a two course lunch . Service was on point. The atmosphere was so relaxed and then the Dj turned up great music xxx ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Georgia was attentive, friendly and all around legend on our bottomless brunch!

Georgia our waitress was lovely - so polite and accommodating. The food was great and service was super quick. The dj downstairs was also fab. Clean toilets / establishment. Highly recommend and will be back! Jay :)

Had Christmas eve dinner here and it was amazing. Service was great and the food was delicious. My only request is to add an old fashioned onto the cocktail menu. 100% would go again

All staff tried very hard Sunday lunch delicious 😋 will go back great keep it up guys.

The venue is stunning. The staff are impecable. The food was not to our taste but was removed from the bill. We actually had a great night with drinks and dessert. The staff really did go above and beyond. Unfortunately the food lets the resturant down but would def return and try other things.

Best ever Roast Beef! Popped in for Sunday Road and have to say the food was amazing. The roast beef was so juicy and just melted in my mouth. The roast potatoes were perfect, and everything came out piping hot too. It was absolutely delicious, I’d recommend the mac cheesy ball starter. Service was excellent, everyone we spoke to was super attentive and friendly. We arrived at 1.30 pm for lunch and ended up staying till 6 pm to watch the football. We’ll be back soon, great atmosphere, amazing food and a fantastic place to watch the footy.

Worst experience, that was last time I visiting this place

One of the best restaurants in Ipswich. Delicious drinks, food and great staff. For a restaurant on a marina you can do no wrong. Highly recommended 👌

Very quiet this pm, but very nice food and lovely service

worst customer service and experience,very dirty and disrespectful ,they don’t wash the glasses and the food it’s awful ,really racism there so i recommend never go there

Cannot rate food or service as we never got as far as having a meal! We had booked a table for 4 at 6pm on Saturday. On approaching the restaurant we were met with extremely loud music! When we got there we hoped there would be a room somewhere a little quieter! How wrong we were, it was so loud with the music we were having to shout at each other... was more like an 18 - 30's holiday rave in Ibiza! Spoke to the person in charge and said we have a table booked but we will not be staying as its too loud for us.... she said we are just finishing bottomless brunch so will turn the music down in about half an hour! That did not sway us to stay as the place was packed and am sure they would not have removed the loud music atmosphere for everyone else just for us 4! The website needs to advise when this type of music etc is going on. As people of a certain age looking for a nice evening meal out are very mislead Very disappointed but luckily were able to be accommodated last minute at Bistro On The Quay.

Great place to chill, the food was excellent the lady manager was totally amazing she couldn’t do enough for us, she orchestrated the staff fantastically. Hopefully they will be open for Christmas dinner.

Popped in for lunch, enjoyed the delicious fish and chips. The service was good, much improved from the last visit. The Downside is that the restaurant is currently surrounded by construction, which is temporarily I understand.

Excellent for everyone, this is probably the best place in town if you are disabled or struggle to walk, access to everywhere,plenty of room inside and out. There is a lift so you can go to the veranda, the staff as usual were very friendly didn't try food but looked lovely. Spotless and there are even blankets outside if a breeze comes down the river.

Was pleased with the food and the service. Drinks also very good. Recommend the Jerk chicken wings and the beef burger. The lime panacotta was also very nice.

Excellent if the weather is good because you can sit right next to the water. But it is in a really nasty area well away from all the lights and action further down the water front.

Food was overpriced, and it wasn't anything special. The wait rime was too long even though the place was empty. Atmosphere was a bit clubby, not restaurant Atmosphere at all felt like a night out at the club.

Thankyou to brooke who went above and beyond from the get go gave me a lovely space in the bar to have a gathering of friends and family for birthday celebrations balloon and a few decorations Lovely beer cocktails and prosecco with fantastic table service Thankyou again Will see you soon

We keep having curt conversations with the bartender. He tends to lack basic customer service skills. 3 examples of rudeness, on 3 different occasions, by 3 different members of our party. The rest of the staff were friendly and delightful to deal with. Most of the food was lovely.

First time visit on a medium busy Saturday early evening. Went to bar to order a drink to which we where told its table service nice we thought. Found a empty table with a few empty ones a about and where happy. 10 minutes no hint of service not so happy. Managed to catch a member of staff and was told she would just grab her pad. 5 minutes later no service we left. 15 minutes sitting at a table no service what's that about? Strange. Went to Salthouse no probs.
