Aurora Cooks

A truly special experience. Lou is an extraordinary person and we really enjoyed getting to know her!

We were here tonight with two other couples who we had never met before dinner. We had such a great time meeting them. Lou our chef was AMAZING! Great conversationalist and she did such an excellent job with our meal. If you come to Aurora, NY, you definitely need to come here for a meal. This was such a great experience, we cannot wait to come to again. Food was oh so good. Excellent wine pairings.

From the second we walked in we felt a warm welcome. We were greeted with smiles, artfully crafted cocktails, and the SMELL! OH MY GOODNESS did it smell delightful! The food was phenomenal. The atmosphere was homey and comfortable and so classy. And our service was stellar. Grace is a gem. And food was AHHHHMAZING! Thanks for a great evening.

Fantastic chef and service, what a great dinner, full of flavor and great pairing with local wines

Wife and I scheduled a dinner here for our anniversary night on a whim, we were not disappointed. We were seated promptly at 6PM in a dine in kitchen with 4 other guests and served champagne and a small bread and cheese dish by the curator Grace. She had a goat blue cheese from a nearby creamery that was incredible. As the night went on we became close with the other guests as Grace explained a little about what the project is about, her history, and of course the meal she prepared. We felt like VIP. The concept is brilliant, take the fine dining experience and keep it laid back. It was easily one of the best meals we had during our visit to the finger lakes and an experience we will remember for years to come. Highly recommend the kitchen dinners on Monday &Tuesday evenings.

We had a great experience at Aurora Cooks. We thoroughly enjoyed Lou’s food and casual conversation about the dishes and her cooking in general. Both Lou and Melissa provided us helpful information about Central NY.

Had a great time sharing an amazing dinner with one other couple at Aurora Cooks. Grace, our chef, was warm and welcoming and prepared a fantastic 4 course dinner with a choice of 3 different wines. The entire experience was excellent. Would definitely recommend.

So much better than the food at the 1833 restaurant at the Aurora Inn. Grace was a wonderful host. The food was delicious. Great fun to see the meal prepared and hear about the ingredients. If you are going to Aurora skip eating at the Inn and enjoy a meal at Aurora Cooks.
