While staying at the Inns of Aurora we had dinner here to celebrate our anniversary and although it started off with a rocky start, our waiter promptly made up for the slow service and was more than accommodating the remainder of the night. Our meal opened with a few appetizers, the star being the chili caesar broccolini! Perfectly cooked and seasoned. For my entree I had the bolognese with pappardelle; filling & flavorful. My meal was paired with a hornet's nest cocktail, their take on a bee's knees made with hot honey and it was delicious! I wish it had been a tad larger of a glass but the taste was on point. Would gladly return to sample other menu items! read more

The food and drinks were delicious. The restaurant is stunning, very cozy. Only reason for the four star is the slow service, we received our drinks after our food unfortunately. Will definitely be back though! read more

One of the best meals I've had in a long time. Staff was incredibly friendly from the hostess at the door to the waitress. The food flavors are unique bold and delicious. There wasn't one item we have a single critique or complaint about. I had the iberico pork which was out of this world. And the artichoke appetizer was unlike any artichoke preparation I've ever had, so divine. My friends enjoyed the butternut risotto and the bruleed cambazola with the bread to dip and the onion jam- ten's across the board. Eaten as many restaurants all over and this ranks highly. Hoping I'll have a reason to return to the area just to eat here again! read more

1833 Kitchen and Bar - Shashuka - American Near Me - Aurora, New York

It's in a historical building beautifully renovated with a perfect view of the lake. Sunsets are amazing. The bar is wonderful with confident and knowledgeable bartenders. Highly recommend anything on the cocktails list. You will not be disappointed. The food, the food, the food is high-level and thoughtfully put together. Crispy artichokes are cravable. Bravo. Crispy and not greasy, paper with micro greens, pepperonis and lemon. 15 out of 10. Broccolini Ceasar with pepper sauce fabulous. I would have never paired the combination but it works exceptionally well. Pork Belly delish. Iberian Pork amazing with a sweet potato squash chorizo hash, again fantastic. Desserts coconut cake and berry galette with ice cream. Worth every calorie. Service was stunning. Theresa was knowledgeable on all items, understood timing and professional with relax temperament. Absolute gem. Highly recommend. Worth it. read more

What a beautiful outdoor setting for brunch. I hadn't been to Aurora Inn in several years. It's much nicer than I recall. Nice indoor bar and dining area in addition to the patio overlooking Cayuga Lake. I had the eggs Benedict as did my dining companion. Eggs cooked perfectly, with a homemade English muffin. The surprise taso incorporated with the Canadian bacon. DELIGHTFUL. potatoes as the side perfectly roasted. Service was on the slow side, however, I'm unsure if that was intentional or not. But it was that kind of day. We both enjoyed our outing. read more

Had a fabulous dinner last night at the Aurora Inn and loved sitting in front of the fireplace. This was truly the BEST service I've EVER had at a restaurant. Special thanks to Theresa for a lovely evening and a Diet Coke!! Hope to return to take advantage of accommodations and Spa. Don't miss 1833 @ Aurora Inn. read more

Good service, food was delicious! Went for Thanksgiving dinner and it was complete with all of the traditional fixings! read more

In the tiny hamlet of Aurora, NY (perched perfectly on the shore of Cayuga Lake) there are a few good places to eat. In fact, there are only a few places to eat anything at all so I'll be eating this particular place against the Entirety of All Eateries Everywhere rather than grade on a curve of the Local Subset. We had Brunch outside on the deck which overlooks the lake enough to enjoy the view but not close enough to hear fisherman wax poetic about Crappies and Carp. The lake, this early summer day, was essentially human-free and provided a peaceful backdrop to our perfectly cooked omelettes. Fresh bread, real butter, decent coffee. Orange juice wasn't fresh squeezed but it was fresh enough to offset the salted potatoes cubed along side our well-plated eggs. Very friendly service (thank you, Melissa), our leisurely and delicious breakfast cost an hour of our time and $70 of our pension fund. Afterwards, a slow stroll through town, a visit to the church's labyrinth and a free bench on the water's edge. All in all, a pleasant way to start the day which I think we'll be doing once a month as a treat against the steady diet of dross served up by the daily news. read more

Absolutely incredible. The wait staff was attentive and friendly and made the entire experience very enjoyable and memorable. Being vegetarian, it's sometimes hard to find an excellent fine dining experience, but they nailed it. read more

We told the server my husband had a mushroom allergy and asked for the steak to be served without mushrooms. He wrote down no mushrooms and it's due to allergy. Steak comes out with mushrooms. We tell them he's allergic and we told the server and he wrote it down. A new steak came out without mushrooms 5 minutes later. At the end of the meal my husband's mouth was feeling tingly and fuzzy which is a sign that he's starting to have an allergic reaction. We paid and went right to the car to get his Benadryl. They didn't take anything off the bill for the major mess up and obviously scraped off the mushrooms or didn't swap out the plate. We won't be back. Server also gave us poor service after the mess up with the entree. read more

A special lunch in a special place. My wife and I had our wedding reception here in the 80s, and we thought it would be nice to visit again and enjoy the dining room. We ordered a bottle of Pelligrino water, and an orange/pineapple mimosa and a melon spritz. The cocktails were great. For brunch, we had the classic breakfast, and the crabcakes Benedict. Everything was great other than the egss which were quite runny when we had requested just set. In any case, the farm to table offerings were tasty and fresh. We talked with the host at the front desk about the architectural changes that have been made over the years since we were there, and he was quite knowledgable. It made for a nice afternoon. read more

Location and view was lovely. Waitstaff was friendly. Cocktail was delicious. Focaccia bread with kalamata butter was heavenly. Why only 4 stars? The shrimp on my shrimp and grits was lukewarm. Didn't match the temp of the rest of the dish. Some of the other diners were loud complainers. Just entitled like "get my drink faster" to the staff and "it's too sunny can we adjust the umbrella...no can we move tables?" It did not allow me to just relax and enjoy. Folks, we are coming out of a pandemic and enjoying a beautiful place. Please be kind. You shouldn't be in a hurry in a town like this. read more

This was a LOVELY evening and we will definitely be back. I loved everything about eating here. From the details on the napkin holders to the frozen ice cream dishes that the dessert was served in, I was WOWED!. Excellent service, fantastic atmosphere, and AMAZING food. My table had wine and cocktails- all were off the charts tremendous. But the food is the real star here... I had the bolognese and it was the perfect dish. Delicious from first bite until the last. My dining companions had the tenderloin (which was absolutely out of this world) and the scallops (I didn't personally try them, but they looked beautiful and I was told they were divine). We shared the charcuterie board which was excellent all around (loved the fresh currants!) and had various ice creams for dessert. The salted carmel pretzel ice cream was one of the best things I've ever eaten in my life. This is an absolute must-- we drove about 30 minutes from where we were staying to get here and the drive from Waterloo along the lake was breathtaking. Highly recommend! Great dinner! read more

Came with friends to celebrate our graduation and the drive was worth it! The location is beautiful and our dishes were delectable! Would love to visit again and stay at Aurora Inn and walk around town. read more

A great Thanksgiving experience. First, ambience- a traditional Virginian-like dinning room that is well preserved, warm, classy and very well maintained. The greeters, waitresses, runners were very corteous, speedy, and ready to help without being in your face at all times. Second, for food, the Thanskgiving dinner is a set menu with 3 different options for appetizers, entrée and dessert. The srhimp appetizer was delicious, a great blend of olive oil, garlic and a hint of spice. My main dish was the steak, very well prepared at medium rare by default, a layer of manicured mashed potatotes, salted mushrooms and a sauce with a hint of red pepper. This dish was absolutely fantastic. My dessert was the pecan pie, done as it should, reminiscent of home baked pies. They have a vast selection of wines. We paired with a local Cab, which was too light for a Cab and for the rich meat. Reco to go European or West Coast reds. All in all, highly recommend this place for a special occasion. They also offer verious table sizes and arrangements, so your celebration can be something special, like ours was! read more

We went here for our anniversary brunch. We loved the atmosphere. My crab cake Benedict was delicious! Baked French toast was good and not overly sweet. My husband's steak and eggs platter was good but not exciting. read more

Another visit to the Kitchen and and they did not disappoint! This night we decided on: ~ Delicata Squash vegan chorizo, root vegetables, winter greens, local apple ~ Pasta Bolognese hand-made pasta, sirloin, pork, tomato, garlic, parmigiano-reggiano ~ Beets concord grape gastrique, local chèvre My squash was out of this world! The presentation was incredible and the taste was like nothing I've ever had before and I definitely want to experience again!! The pasta was cooked perfectly! But the true stars were the beets. They were warm and tenderly cooked but not overdone and the chèvre just melted and made for an insanely scrumptious bite! Highly recommend all these dishes to anyone who visits the Inns of Aurora! As you can see from the pictures we have dined here quite a few times and the next dinner is always to the same exquisite level as the last! read more

We had an outstanding Thanksgiving dinner at 1833. It was highly recommended by several friends for a nice holiday meal out. We made our reservations on Open Table for opening on Thanksgiving Day-11 am for the special meal service. They called to confirm a few days out. My husband, mother and two daughters were seated quickly with a view of the lake. It was a 3 course meal. I had a butternut squash tart for an appetizer, scallops for the entree and a mini chocolate pie for dessert. Everything was perfect- the serving sizes were larger than I expected. We ordered a bottle of sparkling rose for the table. Our server Maggie was outstanding. There was a nice kids menu- it is pretty fancy here but my baby slept and 4 year old was well behaved and I felt comfortable there with children. So far this has been one of my favorite meals since moving to the region. We are already planning another meal here soon. read more

I had dinner last night and breakfast this morning. I was going to leave a 5-star review but after this morning's breakfast, I want to leave a minus star review which I compromise to 3star review. For dinner, food and service were all good. We had no complaints. Thumbs up for everything. I didn't care for the wine we ordered but that's not anyone's fault. For breakfast, we started off well. But!!! My coffee cup wasn't clean but trying to get the attention of the waitstaff took forever. My grilled skillet was so salty. An order of EXTRA EXTRA CRISPY bacon came out droopy, not crispy at all. They took it back but came back out after we were done with our food. I was really disappointed. read more

Very nice date night restaurant. Server was extremely attentive to our needs. Food was prepared well. Outdoor seating with wonderful view.

We had the privilege of having brunch at the 1833 kitchen and bar on a Sunday. Perfection is the only word to describe the entire experience, from the food and especially the service and see very knowledgeable and friendly waiter, Darien. We had the mushroom and bacon omelette, cooked to perfection, seasoned perfectly, and the petite salad, which was enough for two people, which could not have been fresher and more delicious. Darien offered us taste of wine, so we were not familiar with, and spent time discussing foods. This was a special occasion for my friend, and being in this lovely place, looking out the window, and having perfect customer service and outstanding food made it all the more special. We highly recommend this restaurant, and will return! read more

Dinner at 5:30pm on the patio, overlooking the water, was a definite repeat worthy experience. Our server Katie was full of great suggestions. We listened to her, & ended up with a most memorable meal: 1833 NE IPA - a light & citrusy IPA, made in Aurora at Aurora Ale & Lager Co. So good that my (usually non drinking) group ordered it every time we were here & couldn't stop talking about it! Table bread - warm, soft focaccia w/a garlicky local red wine butter started us off perfectly Shrimp Souvlaki - a skewer of perfectly charred shrimp, veggie tabbouli, tzatziki & local feta Iberico Pork Loin - cooked medium, this was the most tender & moist pork I've ever tasted. Served w/a red pepper sauce, smoky potatoes, & tender asparagus, this nightly special was a winner! Lamb Chops - another impressive dish! Braised fennel on a potato celeriac mash, studded w/blackberries, & tender juicy lamb. Chocolate Pretzel Bombe - moist cake, chocolate shell, caramel sauce, whipped cream - yum Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp - this seasonal crisp was very strawberry, & only lightly sweet, & the house made chocolate mocha ice cream was super yummy on top Black Cherry ice cream - house made, yummy! Triple Berry Galette - this warm & flaky pastry had jammy berry goodness inside. But the surprising touch was the Vanilla Sambal ice cream requested on top! House made, this ice cream started off vanilla-creamy & ended w/a sambal-kick! Genius. Katie was perfectly attentive, all throughout the meal. The breeze & views off the open air patio, the wonderful food, & the top notch service made this a most memorable meal. Everything was so impressive, we came back for brunch the next day, & dinner the next, & were impressed again & again: Brunch: Braised BLT - the BEST BLT everr! Soft bread, very ripe tomatoes, smoky top notch bacon, crispy lettuce, generous w/the mayo. Crispy fries! Really good. Get. This. Seasonal Chop Salad w/chicken - cubes of NY cheddar & hard boiled egg, lovely dark leafy greens, grilled chicken, smoky vinaigrette. Dinner: Bolognese - meaty & savory, fresh pasta, super good Eggplant - an entree of all veg, topped w/local feta We didn't get dessert that night, but we heard that the house made nightly ice cream was piña colada, & the sherbet was purple carrot orange! Highly recommend, for dinner or brunch! Make a reservation though, because otherwise they will be booked solid! read more

The lovely old Aurora Inn is on the side of beautiful Cayuga Lake. The little town of Aurora makes the setting complete. The 1833 restaurant has an atmosphere of peaceful quiet with a feeling of s throughout. The seating is comfortable with views of the lake. The brunch/lunch menu is varied with breakfast fare, sandwiches and full meals. We had the Crab Eggs Benedict and the Steak Sandwich. Both were delicious. The service is also excellent. We had made a reservation on a Wednesday, but didn't need it. However, I would advise one for Friday through Sunday. The meals are on the expensive side , but we'll worth it. All in all it's a great experience. read more

We came in the morning, so there wasn't anyone there other than us which was nice. For the price, the food was great.

We had breakfast in the quaint Aurora Inn both mornings. I ordered the Mediterranean toast both days because it was that good. Black bean hummus, kalamata olives, tomatoes and feta with a side salad. I'm going to have to try to figure how to make this myself. My boyfriend got the baked French toast, I had a taste of it and it was so good and def on the heavier side of things. Plentiful side portions of bacon too. We went downstairs to look at the beautiful lakeside room, this would be a beautiful venue to get married at. We look forward to coming back, lovely little tucked away town read more

Top notch. I've been here thrice and cannot wait to return. They have a new dinner pairing menu which is a must try. Very professional service that genuinely seems happy to be there. The outside patio currently has construction taking place that blocks the lake view but regardless the ambiance is clean and sophisticated. I promise you, this experience will be memorable. read more

Caveat emptor If you are ill and have to cancel a reservation early in the day, this restaurant will charge $50/person. We've had good experiences here in the past but I don't think we'll ever make a reservation here again. read more

Had a great dinner here followed by a great breakfast. Pork dinner was incredibly delicious with all sorts of flavors going on. Wife's scallops with corn risotto was delicious. Breakfast skillet was hands down one of the best breakfast dishes I have had. Baked french toast was like a breakfast bread pudding. Service was very good with our server offering to make a special drink for my wife's birthday- plum sorbet, lemonade and gin, and it was tasty. Wine list good with several local wines to try. Will likely grab breakfast here on our way home it was that good! read more

I adore everything about 1833 Kitchen and Bar. The food is absolutely delicious and well thought out. They have gluten free rolls if you'd like them for the table you just need to let your server know. The wine menu compliments the dishes and desserts. We have chosen to spend many special occasions dining here. The atmosphere is cozy with beautiful views. The balcony is a lovely spot in warmer weather to enjoy lunch. Dinners are lit by candle light and in the colder months the fireplaces add even more to the ambiance. read more

We ate both brunch and dinner outside at 1833 on our anniversary while staying at the Aurora Inn. The outdoor setting can't be beat, with beautiful views of Cayuga Lake and a lovely breeze. The service was great- attentive without being overbearing. Cocktails were excellent, as was the apple galette we had for dessert. The rest of our meal - an arugula salad, salmon appetizer, pork chops and trumpet mushroom entree - were solid but not memorable. Still, I would go back for the overall experience. read more
