We went to the Aurora Inn for a birthday breakfast. The Inn itself is full of historyand has such a nice, inviting restaurant with a great view of the lake. We ordered a mimosa and then perused the menu. It was hard to decide what to order. I ordered the creme brulee french toast and my husband ordered the classic breakfast. The food was wonderfully presented and everything tasted delicious! Our server Reilly was very welcoming and answered all of our questions about the menu and more. We will definitely be back...this time for dinner!

We ate here four times. Service and food was amazing. Cozy , beautiful restaurant over looking the lake. We sat in the bar area next to the fireplace which was perfect.
Catherine
We had a nice dinner but the noise from the bar was a bit too loud for this seemingly quiet restaurant.
Patrick
They serve a breakfast and brunch menu. The homemade blueberry ginger jam is delicious, ask for extra toast.
Glen
Always personable service and delicious seasonal options in a wonderful lake front setting. We can only imagine how much more beautiful it is in the summer.
Steve
Entrees took too long. Pumpkin soup was very bland. No salt or pepper on the table. Entrees had good flavor but the quantity provided for the short spare rib dish was very small. We appreciated the complimentary gluten free bread, though we did not like the jelly dipping sauce for the bread. Overall, it was 3 stars.

Beautiful spot with some fascinating history. The restaurant has a cozy, upscale feel. The cobwebs on the lamps seemed out of place (no, they were not fall decorations). The staff practically jogging from table to table and to the kitchen made it hard to relax. The veal dish was like chewing rubber and had no seasoning. That would be fine but there is no salt or pepper on the table since we have to have faith the kitchen prepared it perfectly to our taste. The pasta dish was good as was the broccolini app. The wine list was amazing. Overall it just missed. The menu has a bit of an identity crisis and seemed fairly unimagined (I am so over brussel sprouts).

Dining room beautiful and our waiter Corbin couldn't have been better. Focaccia bread was excellent. Appetizer very slow to come out (they didn't charge us which we appreciated). It was beautifully plated and delicious. My braised short rib was wonderfully presented and delicious. My husband's strip steak and fries was plated with no garnish to color it up and was cold. They promptly reheated it but by then, I was done, so not ideal. Dessert was a chocolate pistachio bambe which again was beautifully presented but the very hard shell made it difficult to eat with dessert forks only. Out of the restaurant's control was a woman with a very loud voice who talked nonstop and was facing in our direction. Ugh... Breakfast was wonderful!!!

Had the best experience dining at 1833 Kitchen & Bar. Justin served my friend Molly and I. Justin was knowledgeable on the wine list and perfectly attentive to our table & needs. He was wonderful and honestly made our experience so much more enjoyable. As always, the food was top notch. Cannot wait to be back!

Loved the beautiful restaurant in the Inn, not stuffy. Great menu, party of 7, we all ordered something different and no one was disappointed Highly recommend.
Wonderful dinner and service was exceptional. They surprised us with complimentary champagne which was the perfect start to a wonderful meal. The menu was creative and diverse and food was tasty and well presented. Highly recommend.

First time for us at this Aurora resort property and we just walked around before dinner. Another hidden gem on the Finger Lakes. Toured the spa and it looks amazing. For dinner we walked down to the 1833 Kitchen and Bar which is situated lake side. On the upper patio there is a good view of the lake, but several trees that prevent a total sunset view. The patio also has several heaters as the fall chill is beginning to set in. The menu is not extensive but what we tried was delicious. Several Gluten Free options and even Gluten Free bread was served with a high end virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The regular option is a brioche bread with a tomato paste dip was also very tasty. They have an extensive wine list ranging from the affordable all the way up to a $1600 bottle of red. Our local favorite from the Hermann Wiemer winery on Seneca Lake was also represented. They also had a good selection of beers. We started by sharing the frites and a garden salad which a perfect beginning. For our main we had the pork chop and short ribs. Both were beautifully prepared and excellent tasting. We did not need desert, so honestly did not even check what was available. The servers were attentive and the food came out with perfect timing. We just found a new favorite place and can't wait to bring friends and family here in the future. This is a winner. You will not be disappointed.

The garden martini was unique and flavorful. The staff was attentive. The food was great. The pressed coffee was an excellent way to end a delicious meal.

Excellent atmosphere and food. Mike, our server was incredible. We celebrated our recent marriage

We have visited before and love this place. The bar is great and gorgeous views of the lake from the restaurant. I would give 5 stars but the mushroom risotto was bland. Mike at the bar was great!! Service excellent.
