Aureole is perfect for special occasions because it's beautiful, romantic, fun (with the swinging wine ladies and swans), delicious, expensive and has the most elaborate wine list you'll ever see. My fiance and I loved scrolling through the digital wine list searching by region, then type, then price points...etc. It's a great place for a slow meal with quality service.
We had the tasting menu, which was good though not exceptional (which I feel I should point out considering the price). I specifically liked their broad selection of breads and their desserts were awesome.
