    I was hearing a lot of good things about this restaurant but I’m very picky when it comes to my favorites. This blew my ratings out of the water. The candied carrots with the whipped feta is probably the best dish I’ve ever eaten. We all planned on sharing our meals but became too involved with our food before we even had a chance to share with one another ! Along with a great meal, our server was absolutely incredible. He was so attentive and was such a great help when it came to deciding what foods to get ! We can’t wait to get back here

    1833 bar and restaurant in the Aurora Inn. We had the NY Strip and Halibut entrees. Excellent. Their fries are fantastic. Our dessert was a cranberry/ blueberry crisp with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Blew us away! Service was impeccable!! We will be back!
