Surrounded by rolling farmland where heritage farms cultivate wine grapes, grow organic vegetables, produce artisanal cheeses, and raise grass-fed beef, the Inns of Aurora live at the center of a thriving Finger Lakes farm-to-table dining culture.
Gather around the island as our expert team shares their kitchen secrets. Aurora Cooks! is designed to make you feel as though you’re in a chef’s home: intimate yet spacious, refined yet relaxed.
Inside the historic Aurora Inn, with a veranda overlooking Cayuga Lake, 1833 Kitchen & Bar serves seasonal dinners drawn from heritage farms and lakeside vineyards just outside the door. Executive Chef Eric Lamphere’s creative menus pair with an award-winning wine list and craft cocktails.
A bright stop on Main Street for organic espresso, fresh pastries, and made-to-order breakfast sandwiches, Roman-style pizzas, paninis, and salads from the chefs at the Aurora Inn. Settle in for a quick bite, or browse craft beer, gifts, and grab-and-go meals to take back to your room.
Casual tavern fare, local craft beer on rotation, and the best burger in the Finger Lakes in our neighborhood pub built in 1836. Pull up to the bar, settle in on the shady patio, enjoy live music every Sunday in the summer, or rack the pool table. Open daily for lunch and dinner; bar later on weekends.
