Aurelia

A Coastal New England Culinary Adventure

Led by the creative vision of Chef Quentin Diez, Aurelia presents a refined six-course tasting menu celebrating the best of Coastal New England. Each dish draws from the region’s seasonal bounty- fresh seafood, local produce, and artisanal ingredients- crafted with imagination and precision.

Set against sweeping views of Narragansett Bay, Aurelia’s dining rooms provide a backdrop as dynamic as the menu itself. As the coastal landscape evolves with the seasons, so too does the culinary experience- creating a thoughtful and ever-changing journey for each guest.

Private Adirondack Experience

Beginning May 22, guests may reserve a private Adirondack Experience on the Lawn- an elevated alternative to first-come seating. Four distinct sections, styled with classic Adirondack chairs and framed by planters, offer a more intimate setting with dedicated cocktail service. Reservations open May 8.

Each section accommodates 6–12 guests for 2.5 hours, with a $30 per person cover charge, exclusive of food and beverage. A curated add-on menu will be available, as the full Lawn menu is not offered.

Seating times are 12:00 PM, 3:00 PM, and 6:00 PM. Reservations are weather dependent and will be fully refunded in the event of inclement weather.
