Chef Lou was awesome!!! Would definitely recommend doing dinner here!
Being cooked for right in front of us was a fabulous experience! Chef Lou's dishes were creative and had amazing execution besides tasting delicious. We appreciated the local sourcing of ingredients and the detailed explanation of each dish. She facilitated our interaction with the other couples as well which led us to delightful conversation. and interaction with all participating. We left feeling full as well as having made new friends.
We had such a wonderful time at Aurora Cooks! Abigail was our chef and she was as bubbly as her food was delicious. We had so much fun connecting with her, learning about her process, and getting to know the folks around the table with us. Absolutely a MUST TRY experience at the Inns of Aurora or anyone in the area.
