Aurelian · Estero
The flagship
Where Aurelian began — architectural, calm, exact.
Housed inside a restored coquina-stone warehouse, the flagship is Aurelian at its most disciplined. A twelve-course seasonal tasting menu unfolds in a single dining room of forty seats, oriented around a hearth of Florida oak.
