Located inside the Aurora Inn, 1833 Kitchen & Bar pays homage to its history of over 180 years of warm hospitality, making it one of the best restaurants in the Finger Lakes region. With an award-winning wine list and a creative menu that highlights the best of our Finger Lakes bounty, 1833 Kitchen & Bar offers the best of every season.

In the summer, take in the panoramic vista over a refreshing meal on the lakeside veranda, and in the winter, cozy next to one of the roaring fireplaces with a craft cocktail.

Casual food and family atmosphere are the calling card of Fargo Bar & Grill, a neighborhood restaurant and tavern built in 1836.

Enjoy a flight of craft beer on the shady patio, tuck into a creative special or signature sandwich from the menu, or stop by after dinner for a round of pool or darts. Be sure not to miss the Fargo burger, the best Burger in the Finger Lakes.

In the heart of Aurora, the Village Market offers visitors a selection of gifts, pantry staples, freshly brewed organic coffee, morning pastries and desserts, and a growing selection of craft beer.

This quaint market also features take-home meals, soups, chili and chowders — all prepared fresh daily by chefs at the Aurora Inn.
