The
Inn, in the picture-perfect town of Aurora, has had its ups and downs, but is
now back in its ascendance at the hands of Executive Chef Patrick Higgins,
whose staff turns out three elegant meals a day, seven days a week, in a cozy
dining room, with hearth fires blazing in cool weather, patio seating on warmer
days, and, in all seasons, spectacular Cayuga Lake views.
Higgins starts dinner with pan-seared foie gras, crab-stuffed calamari, or a plate of house-made charcuterie, and progresses to the likes of truffle and parsnip pierogies or pork ragout with cracked-pepper tagliatelle, all made in house, and drawing heavily from ingredients produced by local farmers. For a quick burger, try the company’s Fargo Bar and Grill across the street, but we love the Aurora Inn for Sunday brunch, wine-trail lunches and dinners on the patio. They’re also a popular wedding destination, and offer wine- or beer-tasting dinners, cooking classes, and other culinary events. Check their Web site for details.
